I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

having and loving trans friends is like. i will fight your parents. i will fight your exes. i will fight your family. i will fight your doctor.

[pigswithwings]

there genuinely is something to be said about how every trans person ive met has been mistreated or hurt so badly. it breaks my heart and it has informed basically all my relationships with other trans people, i go out of my way to affirm their joys and uplift them and love them however i can. i think especially in this day and age trans people are very much in need of extra kindness and care. it doesnt need to be huge. but let your trans friends know you care, please. tell him that he looks handsome today. remind them that theyre really fun to be around. let her know that you like her jokes. hug it and hold it gently. be honest, be open. please, for all the love there is, be kind to trans people

my 100% failproof way to handle reactionaries asking why i don’t shave at all is going “because i don’t want to” it works because what they really want is an argument about the merits of feminism, and they’ll draw it out and try to convince you it’s a cult or whatever, but you can avoid it all by sticking to “i just don’t wanna. don’t feel like it” and if they argue with you about it you can use your ultimate ability, which is “i’m sorry i thought it was a free country?” which, believe me, they cannot come back from. they’ll either drop it or start harping on something you didn’t say, and it’s important you don’t take the bait at that point. when they can’t argue with what you say, they assume your beliefs and attack those. and you crucially must be visibly baffled at their change of direction because it will make them seem and possibly feel crazy (which they are). “i don’t want to shave” is a perfect response because truly it all comes down to autonomy and the ability to do what you want. they’ll try to say “feminism makes you think you have to do that” and it’s important to not take that bait. to reiterate that you don’t know what they mean and you just don’t like shaving and that it’s really weird to look into it that deep. this works i promise

[orteil42]

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[tboy-trash]

we're far too culturally obsessed with men who are mean and rough around the edges but turn out to be big softies underneath it all when, in reality, most men who are like this are simply dicks

[i-prefer-the-fictional-world]

People on the internet say Chappell Roan is evil. I look into it, it turns out be bullshit. A few days later people again say Chappell Roan to s evil. I look into it and again it turns out to be bullshit. A few days later people are back at claiming Chappell is evil and this time they claim they say there is a pattern of behavior. But it's the same bullshit from previous times. And we learn nothing from this and the cycle continues.

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

"who said that" is a powerful spell that casts a defensive bubble around your most vulnerable thoughts

listening to black parade -> danger days means u go from "i cannot kill myself, killing myself is the myself killer" to "there isn't a bitch bad enough to kill me"
