arms outstretched, back from the dead

rare sighting of tumblr user riversrunningfree at their happy place and florence welch at her happy place and it's the same place!!!!!

[riversrunningfree]

tomorrow is my first birthday under my new name (officially) but also the first one without my grandma. something something the bittersweet cycles of life

[riversrunningfree]

think i'm finally out of the weird mood i've been in all week and so looking forward for the weekend!!

[folkloregirlfriend]

happy birthday to the greatest album ever made

[riversrunningfree]

every week i pass the union outreach people campaigning in the city square and they want to engage me in a conversation and every time i tell them i'm already a union member. can't decide if it's awkward or kind of sweet

closing statement from an article about being intersex & the possible connection of gender expression and sexuality in intersex individuals, published in The Gay Liberator, 1970s

[riversrunningfree]

every couple of weeks i have an insecuritydump conversation with my mom and afterwards i always feel a little more normal. god bless

[lakevida]

i bet the pain will end if i arrange a perfect enough sentence about it

[yellow-cat]

(voice of a person spiralling) its embarrassing but i still havent figured out if its ok for me to be alive

[riversrunningfree]

I think more non binary characters should be fat

[rabbitkinglune777]

fat and black and brown 👍🏾

[rabbitkinglune777]

kinda tired of non binary being tied to skinny androgyny that's mostly white. I say that's as a non binary transmasc/boy thing who's fat and black.

being non binary can look like anything and anyone but especially individuals who have different body types outside of thin. they can have body/facial hair too. show up for all enbies.

me threatening my uterus to get my period tomorrow and not on friday (teaching at work) or god forbid on my birthday

[closet-keys]

I think at bare minimum all medical professionals need to make sure they are treating patients with more kindness and respect than grifters. if you go to a doctor and they treat you like shit, humiliate you, and send you home without any information on your body or access to treatment, then health-grifters' offers will start to feel more tempting by simply giving the most basic performance of taking you seriously and caring about your well-being. grifters should be condemned for manipulating and exploiting sick people, and doctors also play a role in whether grifts thrive or are successfully identified and rejected. genuine baseline human respect, and beginning a relationship with a patient by earning (rather than demanding) trust, goes a long way.

[riversrunningfree]

very excited for my birthday weekend 🙏😍

[riversrunningfree]

can someone tell me why i've been dreaming bizarre disturbing shit for the third night in a row. cut it outttt

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

[medusadyke]

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.

The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.
