Remembering my Tumblr Login after 5-6 years

OH I wonder what’s behind this door! *all of your cringy high school posts and posts about your high school relationship that was super toxic for both parties involved*  Haha, noooo - is there a better door around here, perhaps?

Rather than fighting for every woman’s right to feel beautiful, I would like to see the return of a kind of feminism that tells women and girls everywhere that maybe it’s all right not to be pretty and perfectly well behaved. That maybe women who are plain, or large, or old, or differently abled, or who simply don’t give a damn what they look like because they’re too busy saving the world or rearranging their sock drawer, have as much right to take up space as anyone else. I think if we want to take care of the next generation of girls we should reassure them that power, strength and character are more important than beauty and always will be, and that even if they aren’t thin and pretty, they are still worthy of respect. That feeling is the birthright of men everywhere. It’s about time we claimed it for ourselves.

A post that brilliantly explains why “Men’s Rights Activists” are misguided and why the oppression that men face in our culture is not a result of “misandry” but of misogyny.

[lindsayetumbls]

“You’re fighting for the right to contain and control misogyny, and direct it back at women, where you think it belongs.”

And there it is.

Damn.

This whole bro code thing where if a guy dates his friend’s sister he’s betraying the friend is wild, you would think your sister dating your friend meant you didn’t have to worry because he’s someone you know and trust but it just goes to show how all these bros know one another to be misogynistic and predatory and regularly exhibit that behavior around one another, and it’s all fun and games and bros before hos until somebody hits on somebody’s sister. Like, clearly you are aware that you are all gross to women but that’s okay with you as long as you and your friends are targeting random women and no one is doing the same to your sister or mother? Why do women have to be related to you for it to occur to you to respect them?

What they don’t tell you: Self care sometimes isn’t fun. It’s going to class even when you want to stay in bed and rest. It’s paying bills on time and running errands even when every strand of your being cant stand it. It’s going to therapy and taking your medicine even when you don’t want to. It’s using coping skills even when going back to self destructive ones seems more appealing.

Recovering sucks. It’s hard. But you have to believe in the light at the end of the tunnel. And even on those days you don’t, you fake it till you make it.

Recovery is still worth it.

Sometimes self-care is taking care of future-me. Because she deserves to have someone looking out for her.

LOUDER

[agentmuser]

I become overwhelmed with everything that I’m feeling. I want to get it out of me, off my chest, finally be able to decompress. I want to get it out into the world. I want to feel it leave me so I can be me again and break free.

So I open a document. I open the tumblr post page. 

I cling to whatever resource I have at my disposal to get this worry, insecurity, everything that’s bugging me out of me, and out there for the world to see. 

And then I realize that I’m shouting into the void. Eventually my screams, cries, and words will bounce off of deaf ears and come right back to me.

And the cycle will start again. 

So why shout into the void? 

Why disturb the air and the universe and all of its creations? I’m just a dot in the universe. My problems are even more minuscule in the grand scheme of things. 

So I keep quiet. My problems are nothing but whispers, confessions to those I hold closest so they understand why I’m not me. Even that I regret. 

There’s no reason to shout into the void. There’s no reason to waste my precious breath when I’m drowning, trapped in my own mind. There’s no reason to attempt to disrupt the flow of life with mine.

Watch The Founder of Girls Who Code Perfectly School Trevor Noah On Why Culture Makes Or Breaks Women In Tech

On The Daily Show with Trevor Noah guest Reshma Saujani, an Indian-American lawyer and politician, discussed the initiative to encourage young women and girls to pursue studies and careers the booming tech field, where they are falling behind. But there are two moments in a girl’s life where we can reverse the trend.

Purely in historical terms, coding used to be seen as repetitive, unskilled labour, like typing (look at any pictures of “computers” or “coders” from the 1950s and you’ll see a room that looks exactly like a typing pool) What happened is that coding became seen as a technical skill, which meant it became higher paid, which meant it couldn’t be for women.

This is important, because it reverses what we assume is the direction of the narrative. The PERCEPTION of coding had to change first before the job itself could change. Coding was always difficult, technically skilled and demanding work, but until it was seen as such, it remained “women’s work”. We see the same with roles today that are seen as “feminine” - nursing, for example, is incredibly challenging skilled work, but as soon as it is seen as such it becomes specialised care, which then becomes professional and masculine (and higher paid).

You can’t fix this by focusing on young girls. When someone is constantly moving the goalposts, you have to stop those fuckers first.

basically anyone who really shames people for buying their kids shoes or for buying themselves a manicure while poor doesnt understand poverty

poor people often have a lot of disposable income, more than you think, cause they live on cash

they often do not have any means of transforming that cash into assets or into longterm wealth

so yes i had a lot of toys and nice things as a poor kid because you can buy toys at the dollar store too

and like you can pay a lady 10 dollars in cash to do your nails professionally

but you really cannot scrimp, at least not anymore (maybe decades ago you could) to buy yourself a house or to invest in stocks or other things that guarantee financial protection

poor people are liquid- thats why they may have material goods including nice cell phones but they broke ass will always be broke 

hell, even banks and financiers EXPLOIT the liquidity of poor people; cash advance places in the hood and the proven empirical facts that cash deposits from banks in low-income neighborhood go towards major investments and are used as liquid assets by big businesses

keeping poor people in cash and banks in poor neighborhoods are major transfers of wealth in this economy

so please spare me your policing of some lady who decided to get some shoes

As someone who has struggled, and not even to the extant I know is too damn common, it’s also really easy to get a single good payday, see twenty extra bucks leftover and ‘splurge’. That twenty that isn’t going to an overdue bill feels like a gift.

Sure. You could throw it in an interest drawing account (assuming that at one point you had the several hundred minimum to start it and haven’t touched it, ha!), or at least tuck it away and save it for the next inevitable time the payday isn’t good. For when twenty bucks is the difference between actually eating for a week or subsisting on ramen.

But when you’ve just come off a ramen and saltines week, that twenty is a good meal out. Or the haircut you’ve been putting off. Or the makeup refresh you’ve been wanting. Little things that it seems everyone else can afford no problem, small things that feel huge. And that ache for ‘normal’ is a stronger pull than ‘for a rainy day’. Because you’ve been weathering enough rainy days already, it’s time for an afternoon in the sun.

today, my dad pulled into the parking lot where i work to pick me up, and my sister who had been at the corner of the store after i told her friends’ parents to drop her off. her friend was with her. my 11 year old sister said, “daddy’s here!” “alright,” i said, getting ready to get off my shift. “daddy?” her friend asked, and cocked an amused brow. “yeah?” my sister said, giving her a weird look. “you call him ‘daddy’? that’s weird. don’t you know what that means?” she asked. “yeah,” my sister said, looking at her like she was stupid. “it’s another word for ‘father.’” being horrified at the possible insinuation her friend had made, i interjected. “you ready to go, girls?”.

for adults that say that DD/lg doesn’t effect or hurt people outside of “the community”: i just witnessed an 11-year old girl acting like it’s common knowledge that the term “daddy” is sexual. that is outside of the community. that is harmful. that is toxic. that is hurtful. and i will never forgive any of you for it, and will always hold you especially accountable for the increased pedophilia in porn and rape culture year by year.

[northerntealheart]

No shame: I fucking hate everyone normalizing “daddy” as a sexual term.
