It is, and that’s why it’s so important to hold onto things that bring you whimsy and joy, no matter how stupid or small or cringe someone else might find it. Pretend you’re Snow White doing dishes. Make tea in the fanciest mug you own. Put on dramatic music while sweeping because a you’re a dragon-kidnapped peasant. Go for walks and leave your phone. Admire the shapes of the clouds and the color in the leaves. Wear the pretty clothes and the pretty jewelry. Do things that make you feel good. Read, write, draw, sew. Get a little woodcarving kit. Try something silly and new you wish you’d had as a kid, make your own slime or whatever. The world wants you tired and alone and sad. Put whip cream on that drink. Make a smiling face out of your pancakes. Name your cat Lady Meowington and pretend you’re the loyal servant protecting the heir to the throne who happens to be tiny and demanding and without thumbs. Bring back the funny-thing-mentally-running-alongside-the-car thing 90% us apparently did as kids. Who cares.

You deserve joy. Give it to yourself anyway you can.

[girlfailure-poetics]

who cares if you don't fully "get" the weird postmodernist novel on your first read, or if the experimental arthouse film is opaque to you on your first viewing? you are not being graded. you are not being scored. there is value in the attempt. every time i've read House of Leaves or watched Blue Velvet, I've gotten something new from it. the idea that you might not "get" something and therefore shouldn't bother with it is so silly to me

[stargazersasha1]

if ur a trans girl and ur partner is not an ardent transfeminist frankly you need to dump their bitch ass. you can and will find better partners. i promise. i love you

You know that Margaret Atwood quote talking about how a major effect of existing as a women in a patriarchal society that objectifies women is that when you are a woman, even when you're alone, you can't escape that self-peception from the view of the male gaze?

The one that ends, "You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur."?

I really do think that pushing this concept precisely one degree further in the other direction would explain a LOT about how we ended up with this whole "Incel, looksmaxxing, manosphere" clusterfuck, I just need 20 minutes and an antidepressant to articulate how

For those who don't understand, EBT are food stamps (government money for buying food for low-income people). Because the money is from the government, it comes with horrific restrictions, one of which is you cannot buy "prepared" food with it. You can only buy raw chicken, not cooked chicken, for example.

This kitchen is getting around that stupid rule by selling you raw, unprepared chicken, and then charging your EBT account for raw, unprepared chicken.

Then as a side thing, totally unrelated, they cook the chicken for free. Since you bought raw chicken with the EBT, it's legal. There's no law against cooking people's raw chicken for free for them. That's just charity.

This kitchen is a blessing to anyone who doesn't have a kitchen of their own.

Anti trans groups in the US are pushing to criminalize DIY estrogen.

Not DIY HRT, but estrogen specifically.

It's mentioned in the document at least 26 times.

Testosterone is mentioned 1 (one) time, in a mildly positive context.

This would criminalize mere possession of diy estrogen.

Please tell me more how "we're all fаgs in the eyes of the state"

[trannysaurus]

Cool. Possessing T without a prescription is already criminalized, thats why it's not mentioned in the documents.

To clarify, it's absolutely bad that Estrogen is possibly being criminalized to, and i think we all need to fight that, but i also think that leaving out the fact that Testosterone is already criminalized is ignorant at best, and maliciously dishonest at worst.

Diy Testosterone is not a possibility for most transmascs, because it's very much illegal, and just because cis gym bros can get it, that doesnt mean it is nearly that accessible for anyone who is transmasc. Both because we are more likely to actually get tracked and prosecuted for it (any trans people are much more likely to be targeted than any cis people) and because unless they are someone who already has good connections with gym bros, transmascs are much less likely going to be able to convince a gym bro to sell to them, and it's much less safe for them to try that as well.

Again, we need to stand together and fight the ban on Estrogen, and we need to work to make sure that anyone who buys E is not put on any list/registry, because those are already things for Testosterone, and it's bad. We don't want more trans people to deal with these things.

i am terminally A Sucker for characters who have a towering and generally earned ego about their own ability and absolutely no self-worth about themselves as a person at all. intoxicating combo.

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.

[dimmadoome]

I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet they’ve all put something toward the creation of it.

still thinking about the apparent 2006-2007 epidemic of rabid swarms of wii remotes descending on helpless televisions like locusts

[nat-20s]

gotta be honest I think a REAL juicy dynamic is when someone has a True Love and a Soulmate and they are two different people

[nat-20s]

see this person is the love of my life I would follow them anywhere every day is brighter for having them in it. and THIS bastard shares a soul with me we'll find each other in every universe and understand each other in ways no other living being could. neither of us are particularly thrilled about this
