Ella Ashmore, ladies and gentlemen!!!
Hey remember how last week we had a conversation about not comapring Ryan Lin and shane hollander because one is a real person and the other is a fictional character? Yeah were gonna have that conversations again! Im making us have it again. Because why the hell did i see a tiktok comment "ottawa trade b*ady so we could get our Luca just in time for season two" NO! NOPE! William Eklund is not your fill in for a fictional character in a real life team. There is no comparison Luca Haas just because they are blonde and the same theoretical team. (Also luca is swiss, Eky is swedish they're not even the same nationality)

every time a young gay person quits smoking or makes the decision that they want to quit, the sun shines on us all with the promise of happiness and beauty.
i appreciate everybody that’s sharing the sentiment that it’s good for anyone to quit smoking (it is) but i very specifically wanted to highlight and encourage LGBTQ youth because lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are about 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to smoke cigarettes than heterosexual people, and the statistics for transgender people are even higher than cisgender people. this is due to tobacco companies marketing heavily and aggressively to LGBTQ communities and exploiting the higher rates of mental health struggles prevalent in our communities.
i want and hope to see all my LGTBQ people live long, healthy, fulfilled lives despite how predatory and punishing this world can be. you should stay around as long as you can to make it a little better in your own way.
I wanna specifically shoutout trans men here because back in the day (I don’t know if it’s still prevalent) there was quite a common rumour going around that smoking could make your voice deeper, which meant a huge upstick in young trans men taking up smoking.
So, if any trans men are being told about this, it’s not true!! Smoking will not change your voice, at least not until you’re about forty years down the line and you’ve already irreparably destroyed your lungs and throat and mouth and pretty much every other organ in your body. When you hear heavy smokers with deeper, scratchier voices it is literally because their vocal cords have been ruined. This is not a passive effect of smoking, it is a very very damaging one!
It’s simply not worth it! There will be no meaningful changes except terrible ones. Voice training will do a lot more for you than cigarettes will, I promise that the people urging you to start smoking as a voice training method do not have your best interests at heart!
(And you know what, this also goes for not eating due to the idea that starving yourself will decrease your chest size. Like with smoking, there will be no meaningful changes except terrible ones. Your body is worth so much more than that and there will always be healthier alternatives!)
I wanna see trans people thrive, and one day when things get better and you’re able to start your transition, you’ll want a body that will last as long as possible so you can enjoy every little moment of your life. Please take care of yourself!!
As for trans women and other trans people taking estrogen HRT, smoking has been proven to reduce or even cancel out the effects of estrogen on the body. If you quit smoking, your transition will be faster, fuller, and smoother. I know that it's hard, but your boobs will thank you!
(Btw, afaik smoking only has this effect on estrogen from HRT. Estrogen that AFAB bodies produce naturally is not affected, so smoking is still bad for trans men)
In addition (and this applies to all trans people), smoking increases risks of complications during surgery, so doctors might refuse to let you get whatever surgeries you want if you smoke. They'll at least tell you to quit for a while beforehand, which will be easier to do if you'd already quit to begin with.
The not smoking before surgery thing is no joke. I met a guy once who stopped smoking at the time his surgical team recommended and they STILL had to call off the surgery because his oxygen was too low. Can you imagine finally getting your GCS/top surgery/FFS date but then waking up and it’s still there?? (IIRC he’s fully quit now and he got his top surgery with no issues because of it!)
I think also in that conversation, I had a couple people tell me that the book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking is, despite the gimmicky title, genuinely helpful.
If quitting for yourself seems too abstract and it’s hard to care, think about everyone around you. Someone with asthma or migraines will breathe easier if they’re not risking an attack from standing near you.
Lastly, some queer history: a 90’s tobacco marketing campaign that targeted gay men was literally called Project SCUM. That’s what they think of us. Don’t give them your money.
The tobacco industry’s marketing has “systematically targeted” the LGBTQ community for decades…
There's a different kind of disparity in the LGBT community that is often overlooked: disproportionately high smoking rates.
Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism

Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you're currently wearing.

theres a certain ache lying beneath my skin. its hungry, my body is desperate for something to eat. maybe my hunger will be soothed with more. more of those flashing by coherent thoughts, more of those moments where my fingetips dont feel numb.
i cant stop. i need to stop. but i need to go on, dont i?
theres a high to this all but i know to expect the low. i turn to the people i love, so undoubtetly love but my throat zips up tight. theres room everywhere i see yet the world is closing in on me.
screaming and shouting doesnt help, eyes turning towards me but not seeing what i really represent.
maybe being unknown would help. looking into his eyes, he wishes me a stranger but i cannot help but remain his son.
cant sleep, cant walk, cant stop being the bane of my own existance. weight is dragging down every inch of my body, nauseau creeping up every chance it gets, forcing itself out of my body.
i am not okay.
but im supposed to be glowing, arent i?
im supposed to be the star.
they make empty conversation about it while my mind is drowning in the amount of thoughts that are harbouring inside of it.
trying to reach out, i find my hands unattached to anyone. i try to connect, make them understand but its simly not enough, never for him.
help me. , so i plead. he stares and stares and does what he has done all of his life: nothing.
watching life go past, thinking everything is fine because nothing is affecting him.
and it affects me.
he drowns all of that which remains. my hopes, my loves, my thoughts. and all that is left is a hollow shell which my soul has long departed from and im confronted with what truth i had been avoiding. it is but only myself in these shallow waters and my breath has long run out.
my blood leaks into the water, the healing can never be finished with the salt licking my wounds.
but its not enough, is it? it wont be, my blood.
i need that high again, i need to perform the best.
and so;
my last act ends with rope hugging me tight as the wind sways me into nothingness.
i didnt die violent like i always thought. i died because i wanted to be dead. and i always got what i wanted in the end.
I’m full on using this to claim Jason having a cat is canon. They’re too cutie 😭
Scenes i drew from ‘Red Hood: Resurrection’ ep.1
red hood from red hood resurrection cuz the show is SOOO cool
Scenes i drew from ‘Red Hood: Resurrection’ ep.3 & 4
WHY WHY WHY has no one created a Warriors/Gaurdians of Ga'Hoole/Watership Down type series about meerkats?? And I don't mean a dramatized documentary like Meerkat Manor but like a story with quests and prophecies and religion and all that.
I mean they have clearly defined roles, shifting patrols and sentry duty, borders to guard, rival groups, a fascinating and super dramatic family power system... it's an interesting story without needing to change pretty much anything about how they really live
i dont care about people partly seeing my pubic hair when im wearing short shorts, let my thighs breathe
🐈🐈🐈
thinking about statues of Grace being built all around Erid years after his passing so he can continue to watch over Eridians as they sleep
resurrection.
finally. some good fucking food
