"Queer space" as in "this space is created with the needs of queer people in mind and you should expect to encounter queerness here", not "you have to be queer enough to be allowed in"

"Queer space" as in "this space centers queerness", not "queers only"

I love you black trans men. I hope yall know I’m rooting for you.

[valwiththeroundglasses]

This seems like a good time to boost @paristtmpped on YouTube. (If we want black trans men and their projects visible and celebrated we gotta do it ourselves; the algorithms are not kind to them.)

He's a musician and he vlogs about queer and trans stuff. Both his music and vlogs have a really chill, thoughtful, personal vibe.

Here's one of his songs. Right now it's got 378 views and 45 likes. I need you guys to go fucking explode those numbers.

Go watch his stuff and signal boost the fuck out of it, okay? I know y'all can do it.

I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

everybody say thank you ao3

Just some old-ish Caine expression practice

He's such a fun puzzle to solve when it comes to finding the perfect balance to express a very particular emotion on his face. Because, while yes, the teeth/brow combo is supremely important to his expressions, his eyes are also such a key part to conveying his moods. Anyways, your honor, I luv him, and for my parting statement, here's Caine with a crucifix:

Episode 08

[forestgreenandgray]

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

Defining Rumination

How to Stop Ruminating

ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination

What to Do When You're Triggered

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!

[starlightomatic]

People without autism or OCD can also experience rumination! Often people with anxiety or depression experience it.
