The over-pronunciation of every word is so spot on lol

[reggiemess]

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."

I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.

[reggiemess]

Who does this benefit. Who is made safer by this. Whose life is made better by this. Who is out there going "Wow I sure am glad I didn't have to see that word without it scribbled on a little. That really reduced the emotional impact of reading that word." Can I kill them?

hey tgirls: if you find yourself [extremely depressed/mildly suicidal/anxious and jumpy/other negative mental state] and [bloated/crampy/gassy/other gastrointestinal problems] and it happens every few weeks: that just might be your period. Don't need a uterus to have a hormonal cycle.

This message brought to you by: me, not realizing it almost every month until I realize it for the first time (again)

[analogdelight]

I used to think all these symptoms were psychosomatic, that I was stressing myself out to the point that I would make myself sick. And other people in my life have either [made/let] me believe that (because it makes me easy to dismiss), or had no idea that trans women could experience the same symptoms as cis women.

Once again: you do not need a uterus to experience mental and physical distress during hormonal changes. The hormones will interact with your brain anyway. The muscles around where your uterus would be will cramp anyway.

[analogdelight]

This is not to say that all of your negative mental states or physical discomforts are caused by this. But if you notice a pattern, let me be the one to say: it might just be your period.

We Do Not Like The Concrete Tomb.

This is our most popular post and we've seen more than one person tag it as "unreality." We understand why one might think that but we assure you: it was not.

These facilities chew you up. They suck the life from you and grind your body to dust to extract every ounce of profit they can.

These places destroy the body, the mind, and the soul.

Usually I save comments like this for the tags, but I must add how much I fucking love this.

As someone who works at UPS, this captures the hopelessness of these jobs. Just endlessly busy, grueling work that wears on your mind and body. Meanwhile, the people who receive the fruits of your labor don't even think you exist, or even worse yet, blame you for the destruction of their wares (when it's not even our fault most of the time).

This speaks to how invisible UPS, FedEx, Amazon, USPS, warehouse workers in general are to the public, and how those companies want to keep it that way. There is a cost to "fast and free delivery", and that cost is the emotional and physical toll of the people, actual real fucking people, working these jobs.

They're also dangerous, in case you didn't realize. Amazon warehouses have had to evacuate because bear spray got into the HVAC system. At UPS, I have a "Death and disembowelment" insurance because a 60 pound box of furniture comes down the chute at incredible speeds due to its weight and could break my bones if I'm not paying attention. You can also get trapped inside of trailers, buried behind mountains of packages or even jammed up against your wall because the brake on your rollers is broken. I've had packages show up to my door with drops of my coworkers' blood on them.

There is a cost. This is a reality.

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

[strawberry-crocodile]

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."
