More black princesses, more black fairies, more black mermaids, more black girls doing all the things, for fucks sake

the thing is that I think lots of the time we talk about childhood trauma cycles wrong, because people will frame it as like, "this happened to this person, which is why they act like this" and really it's like, "all children learn social behavior via what is modeled for them by the adults around them and their peers; if what the adults in your life model for you repeatedly, over a long period of time, is that they get their needs met by dehumanizing others, then you will learn that the way needs get met is via dehumanization"

it isn't about how certain things being done to you somehow write Abuse Into Your Psyche, it's about learned behavior. it's about not being shown alternative models. (INTO MY LOUDSPEAKER) IT'S ALL ABOUT NOT BEING SHOWN ALTERNATIVE MODELS

Telling people that you can't love animals and eat them isn't performative. Not eating animals is actionable praxis, and has a measurable effect.

You can't love animals and pay for their suffering.

You can't love animals and support an industry destroying habitat for countless animals.

You can't love animals and post apologia for their continued torture.

If you ask me I don't want "good Christians" in government to counter the "bad Christians" I just want a separation of church and state like they promised us in third grade

also, i know this might sound corny but like.... please be nice to other people online. not even trying to say this in a like a, 'oh because you never know what they might be going throughhhh' kind of way just like. be nice man. stop hate following along with things. be more patient with strangers. stop trying to get off cunty one liners for your five seconds of smirking like a dreamworks poster protag.

ive said it before but as a tool and a 'place', i really love the internet, genuinely. i dont like the resignation that it has to be, and stay, a place thats full of misery and fighting. ive met a lot of really wonderful people here, and i think we could all have a nice time together if everyone did their part to make it so that was possible. im not speaking down to you as someone whos never made these mistakes, im asking as someone whos also made them alongside you.

your twenties are not "late" to start hrt. that is a normal time to start hrt. your thirties are also a normal time to start hrt. your seventies are pretty late to start hrt, but not too late. like, statistically, that's at the end of the curve. but if you are not dead, it is not too late for hrt.

(smoking a cigarette) the average american is afraid of what is new and what is foreign, and especially of what is adult. they are trapped forever in daycares of their own design, reading books and watching shows made for children. And while there are interesting things made for children, by and large, they tend to stick to inoffensive, intensely juvenile things that won't challenge them much. And worst of all, if you suggest to your Average American that they should try to step outside of their narrow box, especially if they're trying to become artists, animators, film makers, novelists, etc, everyone acts as if you've just bombed the daycare. Wow.

people will literally talk like they genuinely believe IQ is like a video game stat someone just inherently has and not literally just an exam score

[glitchlight]

if there is genuinely one thing i can offer as advice to trans people its to start lying to medical systems about being cis. they can and will misgender you forever. even if you're signing dummy waivers thst youre not pregnant before an xray its worth it 10,000%. Unless you're seeing someone who needs to know like an endocrinologist or urinary tract or gynecologist. Lie lie lie. you'll eventually need to do cancer screenings but cross that bridge when you get to it.

did you know literally *everyone* is raised racist. like by society at minumum, if not specifically by their parents. if you aren't constantly questioning the prejucides around and inside of YOU, yes even you, then you aren't taking enough action in your daily life to be a traitor to the state of white supremacy.

[mirainikki]

you are white before you are trans and i feel like some of y'all forget that

[winged-void]

it's simple. i think if you make fun of bridget thigh high collar animal noise girls you should be killed immediately and brutally. i think if you're mean to girls who are struggling to recover from a lifetime of trauma and mistreatment that is renewed every time they go outside you are lower than dirt. i cannot tolerate it i just cant.
