If you see me liking your vent posts it means I'm really sorry you're struggling, I'm giving you a hug (if you want one), a kiss on the forehead (if you want it), and sending good vibes your way (non-negotiable). Hope everything works out well for you 💖

Stop making everything sexual, & stop censoring nudity!

These statements can coexist.

I think that age verification, government ID, loss of anonymity, & all that is horrible & dangerous. It will not protect children, not in the way you want. It is better to see the occasional nipple.

I don't think that pornographic content should be completely scrubbed off of the internet.

I don't think that someone palpating their breast to check for lumps is sexual & I definitely think it should not be censored.

I think that porn should not be forced upon us. For example, fashion ads. Those tend to have high rates of sexualization. I want the default state to be no-porn, & I want to be able to access porn if I choose. (I actually don't, but I think it's important.)

Honestly by censoring nudity you're making it sexual. It gives the idea that the censorship happens over something "forbidden" "immortal" or "naughty" and when it comes to human body that's sex

The point of anti-acne products isn't because of beauty standards, its because acne hurts like hell and can get infected

[automaticautosexual]

It's like when people call sunscreen or deodorant beauty products. Like maybe in some cases but most people don't want to smell bad or have skin cancer

I mean on some level I agree with you (had acne from about 10 to about 24, paired with what was absolutely undiagnosed dermatillomania that often meant I had open wounds on my face) but like.

The way that anti-acne treatments were marketed and explained to me for that entire time was absolutely heavy on "you are going to be UGLY because of your acne. you are going to be DISFIGURED. you were PRETTY and if you don't get this under control you are going to be HIDEOUS."

I was actively discouraged from what would have actually helped prevent infections (bandaids, using styptic pencils once I actually had a spot that was bleeding, anything that would have helped me keep my hands off it.) The focus was always on cleanliness (caused more flareups if anything because a lot of anti-acne OTC cleansers do not play nice with sensitive skin) and on shame for being so "dirty" that I let it happen in the first place. Nevermind that a lot of the time it's hormonal--the answer was always presented as "use the right soap, if it's not working you did something wrong."

It'd be great if the anti-acne industry actually was aimed at health, but it absolutely is as much about beauty standards as it is about anything else.

the thing about internalized homophobia is that its homophobia against yourself. the gay guy who posts about how marriage equality was a mistake, gay not queer, stop shoving it down peoples throats isnt an “internalized homophobe🥺😩🥹” hes a homophobe

[our-queer-experience]

sometimes i get mad at myself for being biseuxal <— internalized homophobia

i get mad at other people for being bisexual <— plain old homophobia

i guess i'll be alone all my life

and honestly, it sounds good

[notahorseindisguise]

the fact that the original lyrics were "she shouldve stayed the same" and that was changed to "she shouldve been a son" . everyone fucking knows kurt cobain was a girl

[notahorseindisguise]

she shouldve either fucking died or she shouldve shut the fuck up and put up with being a boy. the one thing she shouldnt have been was a fucking girl

Mam tyle prawie bingo, że zaczyna mnie to wkurzać

@polish-art-tournament ślicznie dziękuję za zimowe bingo i wielką zabawę jaką sprawia mi go wypełnianie! Zapominałom zapostować (prawie skończone!!) letnie bingo, ale pochwalę się zimowym progresem :)))

[eavaus]

finished! or as much as i would be able to! I am missing 3 activities but they really aren't things that I'd ever do

[anarqueeen]

yeah the doctor said they found the source of my guilt and quiet agony deep within my core. Yeah turns out there really is something physically and fundamentally wrong with me that I've been carrying my entire life. No they said they're not gonna remove it. Said its an "elective surgery" so insurance won't cover it. Anyway how are you

[melancholic--soull]

I don't even want sex at this point, someone holding my hand would already be a miracle
