The time this woman is taking to educate is much appreciated!
I’ve got mad respect for the effort that goes into taking care and styling these hair types 💜
Considering black ladies and girls start a intense hair routine as early as three, they get all my respect.
this might not be worded the best but ive been having this exact conversation a lot so i’m tired and a little angry.
im happy to answer any genuine questions allos might have, but please dont clown on this post.
THINGS THAT CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME:
* Your parents did the best they could, AND their choices wounded you.
* You love someone AND you know it’s not healthy to keep them in your life.
* You’re terrified to take the next step AND you know it’s the right thing to do.
* You want to have healthy relationships AND unresolved trauma is making it difficult.
* You’re afraid to fail AND you believe in yourself.
@drheidigreen
imma add one
* You dislike a person AND you treat them with basic human respect and dignity
Because I’ve lost control of my life
reblog for the blessed 100k

trans people deserve to be a little vain as healing for the years some of us spent feeling like shit about ourselves
#trans people deserve to be the vainest motherfuckers#as soon as I can buy clothes I like the look of its over for everyone#im gonna wear the ugliest stuff and be delighted
LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE :D
I remember my mom talking about a former trans student twirling her skirt and watching her reflection in a store front. I was like, “well, she’s got a lot of twirling to make up for.”
Also you cannot understand how euphoric it is to finally see yourself in the mirror, after years of seeing a stranger. A lot of my ‘vanity’ is less ‘look how much of a handsome motherfucker I am’ and more ‘look how much I look like myself. look at me existing’.
(Some of it’s revelling in my handsomeness. Trans people are just attractive af. *shrug*)

This is a Pass Post
If you see this post, you have a pass (therefore you are permitted) to not reblog anything you don’t want to reblog
No social issues, no political stuff, no nothing
You are allowed to scroll by no matter how many reblogs there are insisting you are a bad person if you do. You have a pass, they do not apply to you.
You are permitted to not think about donation pools you can’t afford to contribute to, no matter how far from their goal they are. You are allowed to put them out of mind.
You are permitted to take a break from any conversations that are stressing you out, any discourse you are involved in, any cancellations you’re being subjected to, this post gives you a pass to look away.
And you are allowed, implored to reblog this, so other people have permission to break whatever tumblr “good person rules” they need to break for their own mental well-being.
Because see, you could do these things already.
What you needed was permission.
And now, you have a pass, so you can pass it on.
does this apply to "if you are [x], reblog, but if you are [something bad], keep scrolling" posts?
It certainly does- you more than have permission to scroll past anything you don’t want to reblog. For any reason at all.
there are guys in my dorm who decided to play cards in the elevator
see what intrigues me about college isn’t the intellectual pursuit or the bonding or whatever, its the fact that people have the freedom to do random shit like this
Okay, everybody, I have a story about random shit in college. When I was in college, there was a particular class I took where, no matter what time you walked into class, if you made it into the room before the professor, you wouldn’t be counted late. I mean, that’s a pretty cool policy, given how some professors are really obnoxious about attendance.
Well, one time, a fellow student of mine was running late to class. As she reached the edge of the building, she saw her professor making it to the front steps (super long rectangular building here). He looks up from walking and he sees her. He then points to his watch, gives her a well-meaning “Look who’s late” face, and walks on inside.
What he didn’t know, though, was that this particular student was like freakishly good at bouldering and related climbing skills, so she was just like “Fuck it” and SCALED THE BUILDING!
She tapped on the window of the 4th floor classroom (the floors had like 20ft ceilings, so, she was quite a ways up there), nearly making one student piss himself. They opened the window, she rolled through, onto the floor, and slid into her seat about five seconds before the professor opened the door to the classroom.
He did a double take, started to say “How the hell d–” when a security guard ran in, red-faced and panting, pointed at her and bellowed “STOP DOING THAT!”

I just used the line “that’s not an asshole move, it’s a whole asshole ballet” and I’m kinda proud of it so it’s going here where it will get the recognition it deserves.
A pas de douche, if you will
All right, the rest of you can go home, this one wins.
Happy International Lesbian Day!! 🧡🤍💗
EVISCERATED
For those that don’t know, Brock’s mom and dad both bailed on their kids to go dreamchasing for a bit and he had to look after NINE siblings on his own
In other words,
SHOTS FIRED
Brock also just kind of left those same 9 siblings so he could travel the world with a 12 year old and his electric rat
Brock literally hung tight until his dad came home, gave said dad a stern shit-talking about how much of a worthless deadbeat he was to his face, refused to set one foot out of Pewter City until he was sure the dude would stay and take care of his damn kids, and then left to follow the dreams he was never allowed to follow because he was too busy cleaning up his parents goddamn mistakes.
But, like, go off, I guess.
If the one in the first pic is his mom, why does she look younger than him?
Because she’s not the one who had to raise 9 kids.
I have been waiting all year to post this.
omg
This has been in my queue for months.
I missed it last year and I vowed that would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
omg i didnt reblog this last year!
The shelter where I volunteer got some new hissy babies and we were making progress with socialization yesterday.
Play video, sound on.
There was this old lady who lived across the street and cats would just appear at her house. They’d never really be seen again, and she had a cat of her own with a collar and all who never really left the house but would spend most of the day by the bay window. But the rest were just a revolving door of random cats. Which naturally meant kittens would pop up too.
So one time when I was doing my high school volunteer hours at this animal shelter, she showed up and said she had some kittens to drop off and some to pick up. I thought it was weird but I figured she fostered them and so I assumed she fostered cats and that explained the amount of random cats I’d see at her place (turns out she’d lure strays in for spaying/neutering and then take them to shelters around the area for socializing and ideally adoption).
So she dropped off three extremely socialized and friendly kittens that I guess she had picked up 2 days prior. And then grabbed a kennel thing with five feral-ass kittens one of the donors found near a dumpster.
I had seen them earlier but the day manager told me they had just gotten them the day before and they had not been socialized because they were waiting for “the expert”. And I guess that was this lady. So she puts on these thick black gloves and goes “Sweetheart can you hold this for me? I gotta prep the babies”, and I held the kennel still while this woman just 100% no fear sticks her hand in there and grabs a kitten that is NOT happy about it. She then grabbed it by the head gently, wrapped a tea towel or some type of cloth thing around it, and then laid it down to do something that was like equal parts origami fold and burrito roll?? Idek. Point is the kitten was PISSED. But it couldn’t move or anything because she wrapped it and secured the wrap with one of them big old timey baby pins. And she did it to the others as well. It didn’t even take her 5 minutes lmaooo. Then she put them back in the kennel and went home.
I asked the manager about it and he said “Oh yeah she’ll be here in 2 days to drop them off. She has a M E T H O D.” And just as he said she showed up two days later, with 5 perfectly friendly kittens in tow!
I didn’t ask because I assumed she was a witch and also I didn’t care, but I had mad respect for her 😂
I wish to meet this woman and also to learn from her so that I can do this magic
do you guys wanna see how bs ‘’’bmi’’’ is?
let’s start with a few pictures of my body shall we
(please ignore messy room i’m in the process of packing)
okay so that’s the body of someone that eats healthy, literally my fave food is broccoli, and i work out 5 days a week, you’d think i’m at ‘’’healthy weight’’’’ right?????
BITCH NOPE
that bitch telling me to eat 1500 - 1900 calories a day are you fucking joking??? that’s fucking starving myself and i’m not doing that. fuck you.
Bmi was never meant to be used for individuals; it’s only useful for talking in generalised terms about a large population and as a potential guide.
thank you for your input, not many people know that. but still, an official site such as the fucking nhs recommending a full grown woman to eat under 2,000 a day is not okay!!! (Especially considering the fact that it took into account my regular activity)
calories are bullshit too
a calorie is the amount of energy released in laboratory conditions to heat water when it’s burned
so in the lab you have an instrument to burn the food and you measure how much of it it takes to heat water a set amount,
this does not in any way reflect how the body works
your body breaks down foods in different ways, for example monosaturated fats break down very slowly but processed sugars break down very fast
so by that logic something that is almost pure carbohydrate would be much worse than something that is almost pure monosaturated fat
not necessarily
oats, for example, are something like 95% fibre, meaning although they are pure sugar the body decides it’s not worth the bother of breaking them down so you get a small fraction of the sugar in the oat
so just going by carbohydrate [aka sugar] content doesn’t work properly either
a stick of butter has WAY more calories than a boiled potato but the stick of butter breaks down over several hours and keeps you satiated longer than that boiled potato that immediately floods your system with sugar, that triggers the response of too much store that for later, which causes a lack in your body which triggers the i’m hungry response
or the peanuts being high protein high fat are the reason why a snickers fills you up longer than a mars bar even though it might have a higher calorie count - because you’re full longer you eat less calories because you don’t go i’m hungry and eat another mars bar
and that’s all assuming that every body processes food the exact same way
tl:dr the human body is a very complicated machine and using a very simple method of measuring energy intake is complete nonsense
i always knew the BMI was bullshit but having solid proof is reassuring and will def help with my recovery!!!
BMI is bullshit and I’m so mad the medical community is still using it
I’m a varsity athlete (rugby, so let’s keep in mind i throw myself at other human beings who are often bigger than me) and my BMI is always ‘overweight’ except for the brief period last summer in which i was eating about 1300 calories a day to make myself hot (12/10 would not recommend). right now my butt looks great, and I’m probably in the best shape ive ever been in. muscle weighs more than fat. BMI does not factor in body composition, which is a much better indication f health. also beauty standards at totally unattainable so. I’m 5′2″ and weigh more than most 6ft models because of the amount of muscle mass i carry and sure I’m a little squishy round the edges but I’m healthy. so BMI can kiss my ass
This post is so good, so pure, so important
Adding on to all of this up here, hormones play a significant role in fat storage. “Eat less and exercise more” is a fad diet. Losing fat, gaining fat, and maintaining weight has far more to do with hormonal composition in your body than anything. Change your hormonal composition, and your body’s fat distribution is subject to change. This is why dfab people often gain weight when undergoing menopause or after having a hysterectomy (gender confirmation surgeries typically excluded as the subjects are often on testosterone). This is why endocrine disorders are often associated with significant weight loss or weight gain.
Another example of the BMI being bullshit: many professional athletes have very low percentages of body fat while also having a high BMI.
Joe Rogan is considered obese by the BMI, regardless of his low body fat percentage.
Some more examples of actual Olympians:
The BMI is bullshit
Quetelet, the guy who invented the bmi, literally influenced the eugenics and phenology movements. He developed this thing in a quest to quantify the perfect human (coincidentally white northern European and relatively slim, by his preference) by the numbers, labeling outliers as deviant - sound familiar? He wasn’t even a doctor, he was an astronomer and mathematician.
The bmi isn’t bullshit because it’s inaccurate, it’s bullshit because it’s built on fatmisia

the day that tumblr learns that it isn’t progressive whatsoever to shame people for being attracted to men is the day the world heals. there’s nothing progressive about shaming gay and bisexual men using homophobic tactics and spreading biphobia toward bisexual women.
you know what? shaming straight women for liking men isn’t cute either. i genuinely hope that every straight girl has a fulfilling and happy relationship. when you put the blame on women for even dating “grrr evil men” in the first place you ignore the amount of abuse that women face in relationships and you excuse the men who are misogynistic and pieces of shit by emphasizing the idea that it’s normal for men to treat women like garbage.
if u dont acknowledge the fanfics u read, the writer won’t think anyone is actually taking the time to read their stuff, which makes our effort feel wasted and our passions feel worthless
Tell. The. Fanfic. Writers. How. You. Feel.
this tip tho!!!!!!!!
I need to try this for trips I only bring a carry-on to.
I use to do this all the time in the military. Just forgot how to over time o.o
I wish I’d known about this when I was homeless.
I could’ve taught it to all the other ladies at the shelter and Darlene could’ve sucked a sour one because she never would have been able to bitch at us for “having too many clothes.”
reblogging this to have it forever because holy god damn
Reblogging to save my ass.
I learn more on tumblr than in school istg
