I painted a shirt with a freezer-paper stencil, and I love how it came out!

People take names and especially surnames so damn seriously and act like they’re written in stone but the big secret here is they’re all fake, it’s all made up. David Tennant picked out his name at 16 because his real name was barred from the actor’s union he joined on account of their No Doubles Allowed rule, and he wound up naming himself after Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys of all things, and now many years later his whole family carries on that same made-up name he committed to as a teenager. All names are made up and fake as hell, call yourself whatever feels right.

As a trans person it actually always makes me sad when even a cis person tells me they hate their name. I’m always like, change it, and they’re like “oh I dont want to go through the paperwork etc” and I’m like, you don’t have to, just use a different name socially, have your friends call you what you want, and they never know how to respond it seems, like they can’t really wrap their head around that concept being easy and acceptable.. It just makes me sad for them cause I live in such a different social world with fellow trans people in which having a chosen name is expected by most people AND respected, no one will ever mention your legal/deadname.

Cis people can do it too! Normalize it!! You don’t have to be trans to have a chosen name! No one should ever have to go through the burden of hearing yourself being called something you can’t stand, as someone who knows how terrible that feels. Your identity is your own to dictate and dont let the world stop you

(Ofc just be sure to avoid appropriating names outside of your culture that aren’t meant to be shared)

I knew a cis guy who changed his last name to that of a favored band because he hated his parents.

[cameoappearance]

Before I was born, my dad apparently worked at the same ski resort as a guy who changed his last name to Snowdragon. I never met Mr. Snowdragon but the knowledge that he was out there was a distinct influence upon my perspective on life.

[tanoraqui]

I’m pretty sure my uncle legally changed his name from Edward to Ted so his initials would stop spelling EGO. At minimum, it’s socially changed, and for work and everything.

The police pull my lifeless body from a lake but I’m wearing the funniest hat they’ve ever seen and they can’t stop laughing and keep dropping me back into the water

oh god that fucking happened to me once-

[queen-baelin]

child me: *is taught by parents & other adults that the environment is important, that we should take care of trees, tells me to respect everyone equally, teach me a religion that follows a man who hung out with ppl from the poorest social classes & with outcasts & sinners, a man who taught love & tolerance, a jewish man who was a refugee & immigrant. taught by adults that you should do the right thing & be fair*

teenaged me: *is a socialist, defends illegal immigrants, is against islamophobia & antisemitism, wants to protect the environment against laws legalizing hunting wild animals & deforesting, supports LGBTQ+ rights*

adults: what the fuck??!?!?!? 😡🤬🤬😡😡i did NOT teach you this sorta thing!!😡😡🤬🤬

hmm…yes, yes you did. it’s not my fault you’re a hypocrite.

[the-peculiar-bi-tch]

it’s not our fault we interpreted your humanitarian message to apply to humans and not just the few you deem worthy of basic human respect

[queen-baelin]

i just saw that this has over 1800 notes wow

[30-minute-memes]

Almost like this was done of purpose to keep certain groups of ppl from voting

[kaosafro]

When Black people say that racism is systemic this is what we mean. By being over policed we are in constant danger of being disenfranchised.

[405blazeitt]

i hate the trope of kids giving their favorite stuffed animal to a younger child as a sign of compassion and coming of age, as if this is something that should be expected of kids as they grow up

im 22 and i dont care who you are you’ll have to pry my ikea shark out of my cold dead hands

[dotdollplushies]

I can’t remember the name of the study, but there was a theory, supported by pretty good evidence, that if you have your comforter, be it blanket, plush, pacifier, whatever, taken away when you’re not ready to give it up, even if you’re a dinky little kid, it can have really long lasting effects. People who kept their comforters into adulthood were less likely to smoke, drink or do drugs, tended to have better family relations and home lives etc, while those that saw their comforter removed or destroyed were more likely to be drawn to more serious “comforts” elsewhere. The more extreme the removal, the more extreme the result. Typically.

We learn at our own pace to make and break connections and emotional ties, and the situation is forced upon us, we seek comfort. But whoa wait, you can’t possibly have comfort anymore, you’re five. You’re a big kid now.

So when parents are forcing you to “grow up” by tearing the only comfort in the world from you, they could actually be messing you up big time.

[star-anise]

In psychology they’re called “transitional objects” and they help the neurobiological process of helping children learn to internalize the experience of being loved and cared for, which is an essential part of learning to regulate your emotions.  They are REALLY important.

[imnotevilimjustwrittenthatway]

I wonder what it means psychologically that I’ve started getting a few more for myself?

[star-anise]

Well, there’s a process we call “re-parenting yourself” where you give yourself the love you missed out on in childhood, and thereby start to heal the pain you’ve carried since then.  And using childhood comfort objects can be part of that.

[zawesome-cd]

Oh..

my brother kept his yellow blanket until by high school, it was basically just a giant hole. one giant hole made out of yellow fabric. he took it with him to college. he took it with him when he graduated and moved to florida. 

This past christmas, my parents gave him another yellow blanket. he took it back with him and now his yellow blankets are friends.

[dovewithscales]

Let’s destigmatize this. Anything it takes for you to feel okay and function in the world is okay. The world is literally on fire, and whatever gets you through without being self destructive or self sabotaging is a good thing. Who gives a shit if you’re 30 and sleep with a stuffed animal?

Is there any hatred stronger than the rage kids get towards Barney the dinosaur as soon as they are just a little too old for Barney the dinosaur

[30-seconds-to-marx]

So, this guy, Martin Pistorius, fell into a coma when he was 12 years old and eventually awoke completely paralyzed, at least physically. He was misdiagnosed. Doctors believed he was in a completely vegetative state, but in reality, he had regained full consciousness and awareness. He just didn’t possess any motor function, so he couldn’t communicate to anyone that he was alive in there. He lived this way for 12 years before he overcame it by sheer force of will and was given the tools to communicate. He tells his story in his book, Ghost Boy. Since then he’s also been the subject of the first episode of Invisibilia on NPR and had his own TedTalk.

Anyway, the breaking point that incited his plan of escape was being forced to watch Barney reruns all day, everyday at his care center. Sitting in front of the TV, he learned to tell the time by the shadows on the wall. If he had time he could know when Barney would end. With the ability to measure his days, he was able to pull himself out of the void and ultimately start down the path to recovery. Today, Martin can communicate whatever he wants with the help of a computer program, but there’s one thing he can’t articulate: “I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney.”

So it turns out that the primal hatred people have toward Barney is strong enough to pull a disembodied consciousness out of the abyss of existential despair and into the physical world out of pure spite

[ruleofthirdz-deactivated2021110]

Yeah I hate Barney too

[antique-ro-man]

Does anyone else remember the elementary school rhyme about murdering Barnie or was that just my school?

[frogseyy]
