I love this post

[cantavier]

This is actually a cool thing I know about!

In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.

Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.

Like puppies

Ducks

Deer

Emus

They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!

When the authorities tell you marijuana use will ruin your life, it’s only true because they’ve decided the punishment for marijuana use is to have your life ruined.

You have to read about these amazing, badass ladies. Fire eating became their symbol, here’s a blurb on its origin.

[It] grew out of tragedy. Last year, a lesbian and a gay man, Hattie Mae Cohens and Brian Mock, burned to death in Salem, Ore., after a Molotov cocktail was tossed into the apartment they shared. A month later, on Halloween, at a memorial to the victims in New York City, the Avengers (then newly organized) gave their response to the deaths. They ate fire, chanting, as they still do: “The fire will not consume us. We take it and make it our own.”

*writes I LIKE GIRLS on every other page of my journals so future historians don’t try to insist that I’m straight”

[penis-siz3-average]

Future straight Historians: “we see several examples of her prioritizing a sisterly bond with the women around her, for example on page 12 she says ‘I like girls’ and throughout the text she references loving women and preferring their company. This is not to say she prioritized about her romantic relationships because on page 78 she mentions talking to a man one time in her life. It’s hard to know just how much she valued her sisterly bond with women due to this one reference of men and the ambiguity of early 21st century slang. For example on page 12 when she said she liked women, the passage continues ’…in a lesbian way. I want to kiss girls, they are so pretty, I’m so gay.’ Now it’s difficult to understand just what that sentence means. We know that in the early 21st century kissing on the cheek in greeting had gone out of vogue but the word gay, a word with an archaic meaning of happiness gives the contextual clues that perhaps she is references that old fashioned practice.

Going back to the nameless man that is mentioned once on page 78 for one sentance…”

Where'd you go?

yeah sorry i’ve let this blog die a little! i got the email about this ask in the middle of a 7 hour drive so i ended up thinking a lot about it, so sorry if this is a more in depth answer than you wanted. 

i guess the honest answer is that i made this blog at one of the lowest points in my life, i was in a deep pit of depression to the point of really serious self harming, i was recovering from an abusive relationship, i was in a relationship which, though with a truly amazing person who i certainly don’t regret loving, was definitely super unhealthy, i was not doing well with moving far away for college, i had just come out as trans which was terrifying because everyone loves murdering us, and in general i was living pretty day to day, kind of assuming i would die for some reason or another before long term plans would matter much. but just in the last few months things have changed a lot, i’ve become super career-driven and i’ve let myself dream really big for the first time since childhood, and i’ve started taking serious steps towards those dreams, as well as being with 3 wonderful partners, and that has made me a more self-assured, confident person than i’ve been in a really long time. 

this blog was super important for getting me through a really rough couple of years, the support and encouragement and love i got when i posted selfies in a new femme outfit or posted some sad text post about my most recent panic attack or something helped so much with the crazy self hatred i dealt with and i’m super grateful to you all. and of course i’m not out of the woods, my depression will always be with me, but with my new outlook on life in the last couple of months i’ve kind of started associating this blog with a long long period of wallowing in self pity, and i can’t let myself slip back into that. also i guess now that i’m moving seriously towards my dreams i’m getting a little nervous about my years of essentially keeping a public diary, especially cause part of my goals involve public policy.

 i’m not deleting the blog cause i hope in a little while i’ll have the separation i need to come back and use it in the way i use other social media (50% activism 50% selfies and shitposts), and i still randomly post every once in a while, but its not a daily part of my life anymore and since this community gave me a lot of love at a time when i was utterly unable to give that love to myself i wanted to give a real explanation. 

anyway, sorry this is super long (anyone who’s friends with me on facebook knows that my social media presence has become exponentially longer winded recently idk why), but the ask got me thinking a lot and i wanted to post my thoughts for the first time in a while. i’m not saying i’ll be off totally and especially now that i know my absence has been noted i’ll make more of an effort to be on this blog, but i just wanted to give a full answer. thanks for checking in, love you!!! <3 <3 <3
