Let's talk about my current hyperfixations

Genderfluid and trying my best as an 19 year old today

[nariarts]

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

"i sent this article to my relative" "mom & i were discussing dialectical materialism" you navigate the world with such a different set of parameters than i

does anyone know if we have transmasc and transfem love and friendship today

[damazcuz]

We do. And tomorrow and the next day and every day forever and ever and ever too. :)

[cecil-apologist-deactivated2024]

a long time ago i was struggling with being transmasc because i felt like i was betraying womanhood somehow. then one of my best friends came out as a trans woman and i realised "ah... there will always be so many beautiful women in the world, so it's okay that i'm not one of them". what i'm trying to say is you need to love each other or there's no point to any of this

[risenfromthebog]

in a reversal of this. when i came out as transfem i was almost dissapointed because i spent so long trying to be a truly good man. i was raised with a lot of shitty guys so i tried to be the most pro-feminist comfortable dude i could be for the women around me. when my egg cracked, i almost felt this feeling of "shit, are the only men who think like this secretly women inside?" and it feels nice to see that proven so utterly and completely wrong by the trans men i know in my life. i love seeing people take on the masculinity i hated and do amazing shit with it, god bless trans dudes

Don't let being bad at drawing stop you from making stuff in tomodachi life. The stamp tool is essential.

a character who truly, legitimately goes “but why does that matter?” about their feelings when someone who cares about them asks. and the sudden falling of everyone around them’s faces as they realize that this person doesn’t recognize themself as someone who needs or should be taken care of. i want Everyone to hurt. surprise at the idea, worry for them, horror at not having noticed. do you see this person who doesn’t think of themselves as a person?

The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.

[corvid-language-library]

You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)

tumblr seriously needs to stop fucking changing things all the time. if we wanted a modern site we'd go literally anywhere else. we are here because we hate change and live in the past and that should be respected.

[sprinkledsalt]

I know this might make people mad, but absolutely refusing to even attempt to treat your mental illness, and instead just endlessly inflicting your unmitigated episodes on the people around you, is abusive. Your loved ones are not stress toys that you can just squeeze every time you feel bad. It is bad if someone says your repeated behavior is hurting them, and you take no steps to change. I know damn well that you can’t always help how your brain acts, but I’ve also spent a lot of years trying to stop my spiraling brain in its tracks, work on strategies to calm down, and consider the impact I’m having on others, because I grew up in a household with people who have the attitude of, “I have the right to consume all the attention in the house and drain your energy every single day because I feel miserable, and you’re the bad guy if you say that I’m making you feel bad and that I need to get help. I can treat you however I want because of my anxiety.”

Your mental health is not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you for saying this

I wasn't gonna reblog this when I first saw it because it made me feel yucky, but I realized that's why I should. Lots of illnesses, and depression in particular, will make you think it's safer not to change. I remember how comfortable it felt to sit with that voice telling you it's easier to stay where you are, that it's kinder to hold onto your illness and not bother anyone with your needs.

That voice is a lie.

Not just a "hey that's not true" lie, I mean it's the kind of lie that ruins lives. A "no I don't have a secret girlfriend" lie. A "yes I'm sober enough to drive" lie. It might feel like you're protecting your friends, it might feel like you're going to get in trouble if you tell the truth, but I promise you, staying where you are is what's hurting you the most.

I'm trying to phrase this in a way that won't scare anyone off, but getting better, doing the work, is fucking hard. It's uncomfortable, it's awkward, it's painful and exhausting. Nothing I can say here will stop your part from sucking. Maybe that's therapy, maybe it's meds, maybe it's some big change in your lifestyle. It's scary, and it's gonna suck.

But right now it is worse.

Where you are, angry, hurting, alone, whatever your brand of yucky is, right now, is worse. Maybe you're hurting yourself, socially, physically, maybe it's your sister you're scaring the crap out of, maybe your dad is afraid to talk to you, maybe your friends wish you'd let them help. This is worse.

Starting to get better won't feel fun and easy, but it will be better. Choosing to be honest with your therapist isn't comfortable, but it is better. Apologizing to your kids (not "I'm sorry, I suck" but "I know how I fucked up, here's how I want to fix it") is awful and embarrassing, but it is better. Trying is better. For you, for them. Do better.
