A particularly nasty side to antisemitism — it’s been part of Ye’s message recently though it is by no means unique to him — is this implication that they’re just the ones saying out loud what the rest of us are thinking. And I just want to say, unequivocally, fuck you. You don’t get to claim me. You don’t get to use me as a bullet against people I care about. It’s not what I think, and I’m confident it’s not what any of my friends think because if I wasn’t confident, they wouldn’t be my friends. I’m not silently agreeing with you — I’m VOCALLY disagreeing with you. Your beliefs are pathetic. Go fuck yourself.

call me soft or whatever but i find it so incredible that people manage to keep themselves alive. like you’re paying rent?? maintaining relationships?? going to work?? every day single day?? in this economy?? on the mental diet we’ve all been raised on?? the effort you must be putting into your life simply by living it is olympian. and it is impressive

You can’t deserve a person’s love. You’ll drive yourself crazy thinking like that. They either love you, or they don’t. That doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough for them to love you, because love isn’t something you earn by being good enough. It isn’t something that can be quantified or doled out. Don’t blame yourself for not being loved how you need to, just teach yourself how to look for love where love lives.

[mockiatoh]

This isn’t just about romantic love, or even skewed towards romantic love, although it does apply there too. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to accept is that my mother simply wasn’t someone who was capable of loving me, and there is no version of me that I could have ever been that would have earned that love. But with acceptance came healing. I was able to love myself more instead of resenting myself for not being more than any one person could be.

[mockiatoh]

Are you listening? Even love for yourself isn’t earned. It is a kindness you give yourself.

Alternate universe where I literally just to go to school forever (for free) so I can just learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.

*sits down*

dont you think its weird. dont you think its weird that the space race last time was two of the biggest powers in the world. and now its a handful of rich men. dont you think its weird they can afford that. dont you think its bad that rich men can afford the same things as the government.

dont you think its weird that while the world is suffering and poverty is everywhere, where there's wars and climate change and human pain and homelessness. the same month I've watched people die on the news from unbearable heat and unprecedented flooding. that a rich handful of men are going to space, causing more carbon emissions. dont you think its weird that instead of putting their vast amount of money to use for good they're using it to find a way off the planet theyre destroying.

dont you think its really fucking weird.

I hope y’all understand the racism apparent here and how black women are being expected to conform to the standards of white womanhood in order to be actually classified as women

[acquaintedwithrask]

this is where the TERF, anti-trans rhetoric leads: to cis women being told they’re somehow not female enough to compete in athletics.

[loba-la]

You couldn’t have misunderstood terfs more. If anyone is identifying as a terf that means they believe in women being biological women. no matter how they look, act, dress, behave female sex stereotypes - if you are a woman that cannot change or be taken from you. Terfs agree that gender is a social construct/class, that enforces sexist stereotypes.

No terf ever would want a women to take birth control without consent, this is only happening now that we decide that ‘woman’ has no meaning. This is what’s happening because we decide that women means a specific hormones and a chosen identity, not actual women.

Female classification shouldn’t be up for debate. If you’re a woman you can compete in that area. This new classification is a direct result of men identifying how they like and taking opportunities from women. Female, male, and transgender sections should be made. Not these cruel restrictions which only serve to harm women.

[afronerdism]

“This new classification is a direct result of men identifying how they like and taking opportunities from women.”

No, actually. This is happening very specifically because of anti-black racism. It has nothing to do with trans women and everything to do with white women. This only became a rule because African women were dominating in track at the Olympics and white women begin to cry tattoo tears because they said that these women had an unfair biological advantage and so the Olympics committee decided to start having medical assessments and it was determined that these women had levels of testosterone that they felt made it unfair for the white women participating because the standard of what womanhood looks like is based on white women. This is a rule that literally only affects African athletes. And that is done as a way to ensure that white women do not have to compete against black women who they claim have an unfair biological advantage therefore if they want to actually be women they need to adhere to the standard set forth by white people about what womanhood and being a woman looks like. Everything about this is due to racism and misogynior, nothing to do with trans people.

the thing about self love is you are already doing everything in your day to day to allow yourself to love yourself. if someone else charged your phone, you would appreciate that gesture. if someone else bought or cooked you a meal, you would appreciate that gesture. if someone else did your laundry, you would appreciate that gesture. all of those things are already acts of love to yourself. you don’t have to do anything more to be able to love yourself, you just have to reframe how you think about what you are already doing.
