just a reminder that “being gay isn’t a personality trait” is just an evolved form of “i don’t care if you’re gay i just don’t want to see it”. no gay man thinks it’s their only personality trait, no lesbian thinks it’s their only personality trait, no trans person thinks it’s their only personality trait. you’re just annoyed by someone embracing a large part of themselves and being comfortable in their body and in a community of people like them.

ok i’m going to make a more in depth response to this bc it unexpectedly blew up but i’m seeing a lot of responses and tags about babygays and i need y’all to understand something real quick. y’all need to realize that babygays being obnoxious is literally not harming anybody and we all know it’s a phase they’ll eventually grow out of; it’s really not that deep i promise you. cishet boys and girls can go through phases in their pre and early teens of being “boy/girl crazy” or being obsessed with performing their gender the way they want but when lgbt kids do it then or even a little bit later y’all suddenly have a problem with it. these are just kids, don’t come at them with your own internalized phobias.

They say judas is in hell because he betrayed jesus but thats actualy a misconception, that was gods plan and so he didnt do anything wrong. Judas however IS in hell because god thinks he made his son gay

Literally no matter how good your boss is, join a union in case that changes. And if your good boss is offended by that, well now you know it was the right decision

[em3rg3ncy-backup-deactivated202]

“being distressed about an evil thought is what shows you’re a good person” = bad, unhelpful, is not at all conducive to OCD recovery

“there’s no such thing as a good or bad thought”, “your thoughts do not define your morality”, etc = good, helpful, acknowledges the fact that thoughtcrime isn’t real

remember kids, implying that distress is what makes you a good person is NOT a good way to encourage people to build a life where they are able to learn to live alongside intrusive thoughts

Over the years the recurring annoying addition i always got on my trans positivity posts was someone (usually a transmed) doing this whole "how dare you being trans is a horrible misery that never ends" and I don't get why people act like this at other people, our positivity posts and expressions of joy and happiness are not the place to express your mean hearted diary entry. It's not constructive to tell not-out trans people that being trans is endless misery, youre making people stay closeted/in denial longer and causing them extra misery.

Being trans is not a single emotion. But if i had to put it to words, it's joy. It's love for the self. It's recognizing something's wrong and fixing it for the better. Shit can be depressing at times, but I have had so much happiness in just being me. My life improved 10000% by just admitting im trans.

Being transgender is great. Don't let people tell you otherwise.

Why Tumblr? Why do you, an actual celebrity, a famous writer, use Tumblr of all websites?

(The actual celebrity and famous writer sits back in his rocking chair, surveys the world of Tumblr, from his porch. He chews meditatively on a straw, and then he says:)

TACAFW: Y'see, I've been here for nigh on twelve years now, which in new-fangled internet years is about four hundred years... yup, I remember when all this wuz just folks trading photos of cats, and I remember when over there, where it's now just waste land, that whole part of town was whut we used to call 'Not safe for work" -- hooey, I don't know where those folks went, when they got driv out of town -- but me, through those twelve years, I've just been in this old rockin' chair on this old porch, and I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go... I guess I mus' just' like it here...

So they left. But I stayed. I stayed.”]

its a shame ditherpunk never took off

[rainy-days-will-never-end-deact]

What’s that?

[glitchtrad]

pixel art but in 1-bit, i.e. only black or white pixels.  you create shading via dithering, or densities of black pixels vs white pixels, hence “dither punk.”

It’s lo-fi and retro in a very goth way

Friendly reminder that 1200 calories is the recommended amount for a 5 year old

[rambirb-deactivated20221115]

this hit me.

another fact is that 500 calories isn’t even enough for a new born.

why did I go so long convinced that going over 500 in a day was the end of the world?

[naamahdarling]

Another friendly reminder that the United States used 1,000 calorie diets as torture for political prisoners and justified it using the diet industry.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/17/bush-torture-memos-commer_n_188190.html

In a footnote to a May 10, 2005, memorandum from the Office of Legal Council, the Bush attorney general’s office argued that restricting the caloric intake of terrorist suspects to 1000 calories a day was medically safe because people in the United States were dieting along those lines voluntarily.

“While detainees subject to dietary manipulation are obviously situated differently from individuals who voluntarily engage in commercial weight-loss programs, we note that widely available commercial weight-loss programs in the United States employ diets of 1000 kcal/day for sustain periods of weeks or longer without requiring medical supervision,” read the footnote. “While we do not equate commercial weight loss programs and this interrogation technique, the fact that these calorie levels are used in the weight-loss programs, in our view, is instructive in evaluating the medical safety of the interrogation technique.”

Another another friendly reminder that the Minnesota Starvation Experiment subjected adult men who were VOLUNTEERS to 1,560 calorie diets and the psychological effects were so profound that one volunteer cut three of his own fingers off and could not remember why.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment

These men were volunteers who knew exactly what they would be going through and when it would end, and who believed they were doing it for a good and moral reason (the research was used to help rehabilitate victims of starvation and famine at the end of WWII).

And these are the things we are expected to engage in FOREVER to stay at a “healthy” weight.

Reading about the Minnesota Starvation experiment was my wake-up call.  It was what kicked me out of my eating disorder.  The guy missing three fingers, whatever his name was, he was the last straw for me.

Scared me so fucking bad I stopped restricting my food that day, and never went back to it.

[naamahdarling]

Just bringin’ this back around like I sometimes do.

Wow. This really hit me hard.

Fun fact– calorie restriction exacerbates symptoms of pretty much *every* mental illness.

[crazy-pages]

Anorexia has ~16% mortality rate, slightly higher than acted upon suicidal ideation. It’s more lethal than actively trying to kill oneself and this is why.

[bogleech]

Remember that “calories” are a measure of the “energy” you get from food and not specifically a measure of fat or sugar or any one thing. A single calorie is the amount of heat it takes to warm water by one degree Celsius. Using it as a measure of a “healthy diet” is batshit gibberish.

I’m not going to go so far as to say “the Minnesota Starvation Experiment should be required reading for everybody in this country,” but I do think it should be required reading for anyone who wishes to open their mouth about diets and weight and fasting and exciting new solutions to the “obesity epidemic”

[homunculus-argument]

My current plan to recover from my mental and emotional existence is to just go so deep into being insane that I'll come out sane on the other side. Being a chronic people pleaser plagued with impostor syndrome stretched me too thin, and that leash simply snapped and I am now a completely untethered, unapologetic vermin.

Fuck having impostor syndrome, if I'm not entitled to be here they should've barred the doors better. If I'm doing everything wrong because of imaginary rules that nobody told me about, that's their problem, you should have made your confusing system more idiot-proof.

I'm not here to please everyone and do everything right. I'm here to make bad art, chew on furniture, make people laugh, cook awful food and look at pretty landscapes, and piss off the people who don't want me to exist. If I have an unseen infinite debt somewhere that I can never pay back, I'm going to keep running that tab until I die. I'm alive purely because the universe is shit at pest control.

i never thought "i'm alive purely bc the universe is shit at pest control" would be my motivation of the day but damn this dude went hard

can someone pls explain

[anophelei]

Cops lie all the time about being contact poisoned with fentanyl, saying touching someone using/some contaminated surface RESULTED IN FOUR COPS OVERDOSING AND NEARLY DYING !!!11!!1 despite the fact that this is physically not possible. Primarily it is done to either hide the fact that cops are using, or to fearmonger about fentanyl and addicts. No this cop wasn't using fentanyl, it was some junkie scum who used and then when the cop touched the desk it was strong enough to make him OD ! Also if fentanyl can make four pigs OD just by touching traces, what would happen if little Jimmy had touched it ? we have to kill junkies to protect our cops and your children !!

The joke is that theyve blown it so far out of proportion that even being faxed an image of fentanyl would cause the whole precinct to OD and keel over dead.

oh i see

thank you for explaining it to me :)

[browless-donnie]

Adding to this, y’all realize that if fentanyl could kill you merely by existing in its presence a lot of healthcare workers and healthcare patients would be dead. Heck, I had to clean up a broken fentanyl vial at work the other day and even touched a droplet of the liquid by accident, and I’m still alive. This isn’t even looking at how stigmatizing drugs and drug users like this makes them less likely to seek help for their situation.
