Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

modern day romance has nothing on whatever the fuck was going on on pete wentz's livejournal

Gender abolition, but make it:

clothes sorted by body shape and style, instead of gender

removing unnecessary gender markers from non-medical documents like a driver's license

genderless bathrooms where the stalls have floor-to-ceiling walls for privacy

abolishing gendered toys, colors, professions, hobbies, etc.

they/them as the default if you don't know someone

And NOT:

trans and non-binary people being barred from identifying with and expressing their gender

"are you okay" girl i am on ao3 looking for fanfiction from my comfort ship when i was 12 what do you think

[theinsects]

fuck you, my child is completely fine!

your child romanticises the idea of running far away and completely changing their personality, looks & soul as a way of coping with having no control over their life & being generally dissatisfied with who they have become

I feel like jws have changed in the last 5 years. Back when I was still attending meetings young people would participate in all the activities but not spend all their time on it. Now it seems like they exclusively listen to the original jw music, watch the movies and old convention programs, read the literature. Getting all their content online and easily accessable really changed the way young people perceive the cult, which is honestly kinda scary...

[undead-armageddon]

They keep us busy. I was teenager when we got jw.org. The children who grow up with it are much more blinded to existence outside the religion.

I found this really important tiktok about what to do if a Jehovah's Witness or Mormon missionary comes to your door:

You may not be out yet. But you will be. That means. Freedom already belongs to you.

I noticed there isn’t one here for Ireland, so

Irish free suicide helpline: 01-116 123

[thescientificviolist]

last time i reblogged this, i got this ask:

so please, please reblog. this could actually save a life.

[vesface]

[tiredofyourbu11shit]

this religion is fucking shit.

i swear to god if i have to keep hearing my parents yell at me for focusing on college and work instead of “praising jehovah” i’m gonna fucking kill myself. i’m a closeted lesbian struggling to get my life together and it doesn’t help that i’m in a fucking cult who will excommunicate me when i come out. fuck this shit.

An ex-jw’s ranking of holidays

(Mostly by food)

1. Thanksgiving

Kind of awkward but this is essentially like all those potlucks we’re familiar with, but with more alcohol. A+

2. Easter

Same as above with a different menu. If you’re into ham, deviled eggs, wine, and kids this is a sweet gig.

3. Christmas

This is probably the most awkward holiday to be involved with, since gift-giving is expected. But, the menu is usually on par with Thanksgiving which is a definite plus. If you’re not sure what to bring just get a bottle of wine or three and say it’s for everyone.

4. Halloween

What do you do when you’re too old to go trick-or-treat-ing? You drink, that’s pretty much it.

5. St. Patrick’s Day

Unless you’re in Ireland this is pretty much an excuse to get alcohol poisoning

6. 4th of July

Drinking and fireworks and celebration of US imperialism and nearly cultish nationalism, no bueno

[flower-morgue]

To all my fellow exjws dealing with anxiety during this memorial season, you are not alone. PTSD with being an exjw is so real. I am so glad that I’m going away for two weeks and won’t be here for it. I can’t deal with my mother trying to force me to go; she’s trying to get me to go to the special talk or whatever the fuck, and my stomach churns at the thought of even stepping foot in a Kingdom Hall.

Jehovahs witnesses and misogyny and womanhating

Please be aware of the wild misogyny in the jehovahs witnesses cult. ^^^^^^^^^^ (I can talk more about it if you want). They wont tell you all this at first ofcourse, they will hide it behind a smile and a “god gave women a holy dignified role :)”

Theyre also a very harmful cult in general.
