Can you imagine going to bed happy and waking up happy because you did everything you’re supposed to? And there’s no guilt for procrastination?

Ha….ha….maybe next week. Gotta play catch up

…..later

[ID: a screenshot of a comic speech bubble. The black text in it reads "No matter how open-minded, socially conscious, anti-racist I think I am, I still have old learned hidden biases that I need to examine. It is my responsibility to check myself daily for my stereotypes, prejudices and, ultimately, discrimination." /ID end]

antiracism is a constant process. i was raised in a racist village and it's not easy to get rid of it. i moved away over 10 years ago but those ideas are still haunting me.

[genderkoolaid]

also keep in mind that shame + guilt are not conducive to growing as a person. when it comes to "checking yourself" it should be a non-judgemental process. it's not about flagellating yourself for every bad thought or trying to purify your mind of all corruption. it's only when acknowledging your own racist thoughts doesn't fill you with dread that you can really progress past the white guilt of it all.

radical self-acceptance & genuine self-critique are not opposites. they need each other. do not let obsessive-compulsive behaviors colonize your desire to grow as a person.

I want to boost everything this person has said and add on.

The reason I call myself a tomboy now, despite it being seen as a childish word and having had someone swear at me over it because ‘tHeRe’S nO suCh thInG as BoY thInGs anD giRL thIngS sHut uP’ is because I couldn’t call myself that or be like that when I was a kid. It was seen as a negative thing and I was already bullied enough. “Looking like a boy” was the worst thing that could happen to a girl.

And I’m not even 26 yet. We aren’t talking 30+ years ago, we are talking 2000s and even 2010s. It’s only since trans people have become more accepted in the past few years that gender nonconformity has too.

And the people who helped me accept my gender nonconformity more than anyone else? Were trans people. They taught me, “there’s nothing wrong with how you feel. You’re still a valid woman no matter what you wear, how you have your hair or what you’re into ❤️”

And don’t even get me started on how people treat gender nonconforming men. JK Rowling has a lot of nerve to be like “uwu boys can wear dresses and only us gendercrits accept that!” when she has, even in recent works, made femininity in men a negative trait, as well as making masculinity in women a negative trait also.

A lot of people still don’t accept gnc people even now. Just last year I had someone tell me they’d never let their daughter “dress like a boy”, and I’m always terrified to walk into a bathroom in case the next JK Rowling is in there, sees my gender expression and pepper sprays me or worse.

“There’s no such thing as boy things and girl things.” I don’t need to be told that and I’m sure 99% of trans people also don’t need to be told that. Tell that to the society that hates us both instead of actively encouraging that hate.

Gonna point out the og tweet thread is now full of terfs saying that life was better for gay people in the fucking 80s, that it was super easy for them to be a tomboy in the 70s and 80s and therefore it must have been that way for everyone, and that it was totally acceptable to be a gnc gay person in the 80s! 🤪

They’re rewriting history as we speak to try to argue trans acceptance is making it harder to be gay and gnc for youth than it was to be gay in the 80s. This is a blatant lie.

[trans-mask-left]

The fucking 80s??? As in, “aids crisis” 80s?? As in, “the government actively avoided funding research to help gay people” 80s????

Man I knew terfism was brain rot but I didn’t think it was this bad.

Hell I remember back in 2016 I was going to stand in a quince (last minute addition) and during practice (idk how that convo came to be, everyone talks to my mother about anything) the father to one of the other girls were starting making comments. How he's glad his daughter is doing something feminine cause she wears hoodies and jerseys so he's worried that she's a lesbian. How he wants grandkids and doesn't think anyone would want her for being who she is. My mother (blunt no filter and likes to drag me into convos) said I'm the same way but that I at least dress how I'm told for certain occasions (it was just easier to go along than argue). Reassured that man that it might just be phase, and it doesn't mean she's a lesbian it's just as my daughter says, guy clothes are just comfy. Me and that girl just look at each other and said yeah cause it's comfy. (Not that I had to actually bargain or beg or have hand-me-downs from my uncle for guy clothes and only allowed to wear around the house otherwise I'll get endless side comments from family)

The guy still looked uneasy but was comforted he wasn't alone in this struggle with daughters and guy clothes. My mother than went on and said how I was one of the best in martial arts class and even at tournaments. He had that gall to ask if the genders were separated and if the guys ever took it easy on me. (I'm hella short and everyone said unassuming in appearance to be an actual threat) My mother was annoyed, she was a black belt when she was younger, and showed him a video of me at a tournament and pictures of my trophies and asked if that guy I was fighting had won easily. There was no guy in the video other than the judge, it was me but everyone says I fight like a guy. They say that's a compliment but I personally never liked that. I've fought guys and not all were good, some of the girls fought way harder and left me bruised ribs through the padding. I fight to win regardless of gender facing.

Still that man was making comments up until he left and next time I recall seeing him was that the actual quince and how he's happy to see his daughter in a dress. Idk how she's doing now, but I hope she can dress without anymore comments. As for me I still feel self conscious at what I wear sometimes, but at least it's not limited to just one style and color palette.

So no there's never been a good era, only people that are willing to accept and not make a big deal out of it. Unless to tell you that's not your shade of color or that may not actually be your size and try other options.

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.

The “guys I respect” artist also came out as non-binary, generally got more accepting. It’s growth.

One of the compelling things about Project Hail Mary is that you can't fix it.

"What if Stratt didn't force Grace to go?" Then the Earth dies.

"What if Yao and Ilyukhina had survived?" Then they all would have died in space, not enough food to get to Earth or Erid

If the Taomoeba hadn't escaped then Grace would have never seen his best friend again. Returning to a world he loves but no longer recognizes.

If the stars weren't dying then Grace never would have met his best friend at all. Living content but alone.

Project Hail Mary is a hopeful story. It is a story of friendship and what it means to be brave. It's a story about saving the world.

But you can't remove the tragedy of the story without making it unrecognizable. It's written into the bones.

ADHD life hack!

(School related)

I often find myself needing to be around other people studying or needing just another person around to keep myself accountable and on task. But that's not always possible...

Today a study livestream was recommended to me when I put on my study playlist. I clicked on it and it helped tremendously! There's just something about seeing another person do school work that helps me stay focused...

To do this, I...

Opened my study playlist

Had the live stream on another tab and muted it

I had only the livestream visible while I worked on my homework

The cool thing was that if I needed to work on another tab to do homework I totally could(I could still focus) because I knew I could simply click back over to the livestream and see someone across the world was doing their homework too! 🙂 At the same time as me! (Relatively)

Typing that out now I sound crazy but I hope this helps someone...

TL;DR

Livestream study sessions on YouTube help me focus and do homework with my ADHD and they might help you too

The three streams I watched today:

AhsanNess (the one recommended to me)

Jay skullz

one person does not cure cancer. teams of scientists who rely on funding from the government cure cancer. one person's singular novel ingenuity is not what is stopping us from curing cancer; fucking CAPITALISM IS.

I’m saying this because I have a big following online; I live in one of the most multicultural cities in the U.S. in one of the most multicultural states and have recently had white nationalists affect my places of work.

The oppressive forces in power are working hard to push the line of tolerating hatefulness and discrimination and they are succeeding in a lot of ways. If you can, please speak up to those around you and hold the line. Call out and report white nationalist behavior.
