Changing my mindset so I can try and change the world • 29/Queer She/Her/Hers

[macks-achangin]

It’s been a while but I’m sitting in a local downtown bar and feeling the most alone I’ve felt in ages. Tonight was supposed to be a ‘girls night’ but my friend found a date (and I TRULY love that for her) but this is now the 2nd time I’ve been left to watch my friends get flirted with while no one talks to me. And I’ve tried my fuckin hardest to be cool but im not cool! I want to be flirted with at bars, I want people to fucking talk to me or hold a conversation with me, I wanna be the intriguing person someone wants to engage with! But that doesn’t seem to be the case for me. My friend said it’s bc I’m ’too hot’ and I refuse to believe that bc why can you talk to my friends but not to me? That feels like such a scapegoat of an explanation.

[macks-achangin]

Thought you were gay and didn’t date men...

I’m Queer and date whoever I like 💆🏼‍♀️

[psychedelicfelon]

All facts though 🤷🏾‍♂️

[wildlyunlikelybabe]

Because [cishet]men don’t have or really understand indepth friendship. They depend on ALL of their emotional support from their parents (read: mothers) or their spouses (read: wives). So when they are expected to care about the well being and feelings of a woman they aren’t fucking they think the world is ending.

God damn I miss being in college, and feeling like I’m actually doing something and working towards something. Rn all I do is work at the post office, and come home. I wanna go out and be a part of a group and I don’t know I just miss being a part of something i guess

[bd9wirksissbiska-deactivated202]

[bd9wirksissbiska-deactivated202]

u didnt grow up ugly, u were taught to judge urself

[bd9wirksissbiska-deactivated202]

other ppl arent ugly, ur projecting ur learned insecurities onto them

*pretends to be shocked*

[cisnowflake]

Who

The FUCK

CARES?!

[libertarian-therapist]

they deliberately left out Danny Glover, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey and forgot to mention that Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum have Jewish heritage

In a story important to Jews and Christians, they hired Jews and Christians

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

Also completely left out Ofra Haza who played Moses’ mother and is legit 100% Israeli.

You guys are fucking exhausting.

[theimpossiblescheme]

The Prince of Egypt: *consults with countless scholars from all three Abrahamic religions to make sure they were telling the story correctly, hires notable black and Jewish talent for the voice cast, taps the guy who played Coalhouse Motherfluffing Walker in “Ragtime” (a show all about racial tensions in America) on Broadway to sing one of the film’s most beautiful songs, taps the same Israeli singer to reprise her role as Yochaved in almost every foreign dub of the film, and is generally much more respectful to its source than any live-action Biblical epic released in the past fifty years*

Check if your city has this program!!!

Lyft Launches Jobs Access Program in 35+ Cities with National Partners Including Goodwill®, United Way, and The USO — Lyft Blog

Everyone needs access to reliable, affordable transportation — to get to work, visit the doctor, make it to school, or simply participate in

Please boost this!!!

[infiniteglitterfall]

Lyft does not know how the fuck to make this accessible. Their entire explanation of how to use it, which people on Twitter had to keep asking them for, was:

"We're working with several partners to serve different communities around the country. @UnitedWay offers immediate assistance and access to rides at https://t.co/bNqtYzSOz9. For info on how to work with our other partners, check out https://t.co/yyaIw36gKT"

Basically... go through their links to every different agency... contact each of them... and ask each of them how to do it?

Fortunately, the United Way (which runs 211) was a little clearer.

United Way Launches Ride United to Address Transportation Gaps | United Way Worldwide

United Ways and 211s will begin providing free Lyft rides to eligible clients in select cities this month.

Basically, if you're in one of these cities:

Atlanta, GA 

Austin, TX 

Baltimore, MD 

Boston, MA 

Cleveland, OH 

Cincinnati, OH 

Denver, CO  

Des Moines, IA  

Detroit, MI  

Houston, TX 

Jacksonville, FL 

Louisville, KY  

Minneapolis, MN 

Omaha, NE 

Philadelphia, PA  

Pittsburgh, PA 

Salt Lake City, UT  

San Diego, CA  

San Francisco Bay Area, CA 

Springfield, MA 

St. Louis, MO 

Tacoma, WA  

Tallahassee, FL 

Tampa Bay Area, FL 

Ventura, CA  

You can call 211, or text 898211, to ask about the program. (Tbh they'll probably make you call, to ask you a few questions so they know if you qualify.) Then they'll tell you what to do to use it.

You can also take the opportunity to ask about anything else you might need help with, like interview clothes, food, utility bills, etc. They're basically there to connect you with all the resources.

Please reblog this version instead as it's more useful! Thanks for letting us know.

everyone who reads this post will get some big spicy joy within 24 large minutes (hours)

[darknesshaspurplehair]

Ok y'all but like I’m not even kidding about this I read this post yesterday and today I got an email from the peeps at hamilton and I won the lotto gor $10 tickets and I would like to give all my thanks to the internet’s favorite fish, Goldie Gurston, for making this possible because I totally believe they did this with their amazing gay powers

[thuriweaver]

So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. So thank you, fish!

[ren-allen]

If it worked for them I hope it works for everyone else

[em3rgence-st]

that’s some damn tea

[greyhairedgeekgirl]

If extending a right to all people reduces your rights in any way?  That means that right has been dependent on the oppression of someone else.

It means you’ve been profiting from the subjugation of others in some way.  Are you good with that?

[smartest-of-them-all]

Wow this tea is SCALDING

I feel like this gets lost in the midst of the discourse surrounding immigration but the fact that people are considered legal and illegal based on their relative position to made up borders and that their value to society is determined by a piece of paperwork is abhorrent and physical borders should be abolished

[existentialwhale]

Active ways to cultivate positive body image:

(Because oh my god, it’s so hard, and everyone’s all like stop feeling so bad about yourself and it’s like how???) 

Be naked. A lot. Sleep naked. Have sex naked. Eat cereal naked. (Or naked and wrapped in a sheet. Favorite thing.) 

Follow beautiful, confident, (un-photoshopped) body-positive babes on the Internet. Unfollow anything that makes you feel insecure. Exposure is key. You’re not going to get it if you don’t seek it out, because the media sucks and wants us to feel like shit about ourselves so they can take our money. (Some hashtags to follow: #effyourbeautystandards #bootyrevolution #blackisbeautiful #transisbeautiful #wheelchairlife #fatkini #fatshion)

Lingerie. Next best thing to being naked. 

Self care, babe. Different for everyone. (Me? Showers, books, shaving my legs, nature walks, dark lipstick, good playlists, clean rooms, candles, sexy time.) 

Get ready in your underwear. Boobs = happiness. 

Self portraits. Be pro-selfie. Take a million selfies. Take sexy selfies. Take no makeup selfies. Take bad angle silly selfies. Take artsy tripod selfies. Take everything-is-on-point selfies. You’re gorgeous; document your gorgeousness. You don’t even need to post them. 

Stop with the self deprecationnnnn. Pleeeeaseeee. It’s hard to control your thoughts love, I know, but you can control what you say. NEVER insult yourself out loud. Dare I say compliment yourself out loud? (And if you can, do your best to try to body-positive-ify your thoughts too.) 

Sex (including solo sexy time), wine, and chocolate. In that order. 

Share the body love. Compliment your girlfriends. Cultivate a nonjudgemental, supportive, lift-each-other-up “we’re so cute” friend group. Everyone’s insecure. Compliment your besties. And strangers, too. Be that person that makes everyone feel good about themselves when they’re around. 

Good luck gorgeous. It’s a battle. We gotta unlearn all this societal bullshit.

[mytinyskullsizedpornbrain-deact]

Reblogging cuz this is vital. Especially the point on self-deprecation. Stop that shit now. It is a glamour-don’t, a welcome sign for fuck ass ppl.

[macks-achangin]

It takes a heel of a lot to make me ready for confrontation but when I get there I’m fucking wired

[luxbrilux]

I pray that September, October, November, & December are all months full of growth, blessings, productivity, new doors open & opportunities.
