THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE AND PEOPLE AREN’T TALKING ABOUT IT! This is so scary! Black Lesbians you are so beautiful! We are so beautiful and no asshole can take the love we have for each other away from us! Say Their Names. I don’t know why the lgbt community is not loud about this but also I know why!

There’s a website where you can learn ASL on your own and it is free and the woman on there, her name is Rochelle Barlow, she runs the site and she actually is a homeschool teacher and teaches ASL. I am passing this on to you guys cause most people on here is open-minded. Well, whoever of y’all reads this will possibly ignore this but if you are a curious george like me and wants to learn ASL she’s your gal.

Rochelle has a free program called Learn ASL in 31 days, currently I am on day 10ish or 12, (idk I’m on learning my numbers currently) but I believe this site will help people that are either curious about ASL and just wants to learn, or actually is Deaf but can’t afford to going to actual class or something, or just hard of hearing.

I am truly in love with learning with Rochelle, she isn’t those interpreters that will talk while she signs, (and I’ve searched through Youtube how to sign but the person talking will distract me and I would get confused) and it is all in video which is a good thing. I found her through Youtube, that’s where she has all her videos. Just check out her site. You’ll like it.

You wanna know what happens when you're starving?

Your hair gets thin and limp. Noticeably. You don’t have enough nutrients to help it stay healthy.

You get so. Fucking. Cold. All the time. People don’t want to touch you, because you’re so cold. You’ll be shivering under a blanket, in a hot tub, by a fire, wherever you are.

You’ve heard that seeing food will be upsetting? You have no idea. Even if it’s nowhere near you, or on a screen, or in the hands of a stranger, you’ll resent it because you want it. Some nights you’ll start crying because you miss it so much.

Everything will become numbers. You aren’t just walking your dog anymore, you’re counting the minutes and calories you’re burning. You aren’t enjoying a warm day, you’re trying to figure out if the higher temperatures are making your heart rate go up so you burn faster.

Your social life will die. You’ll be skittish and avoid people when they have food in case they offer some. You’ll say no to parties and dates and meet-ups because you think there might be food. You’ll grow paranoid, terrified of people finding out. You’ll start to despise people who love you solely because they want to help.

You’ll hurt. That pang in your chest? It’s probably because you’re not eating. Your stomach? Say goodbye to its silence. Your butt? It’ll hurt whenever you sit down. You’ll get headaches, heart pains, even breathing will eventually become exhausting.

And eventually, you’ll die. Maybe you ate more than usual and couldn’t handle the thought of gaining, and exercised so much that your heart overexerted itself. Maybe you actually did gain, and that enough was enough to make you swallow a handful of pills. Maybe your blood pressure lowered to fatal levels, or maybe you passed out and hit your head on a table.

It all ends the same.

Don’t let the “pro ana’s” fool you, this isn’t a glamorous lifestyle. This is a deadly and painful illness.

I feel like a lot of people need to remember that before they skip a their meals.

Don’t do this to yourselves, you gorgeous humans. You deserve to live. You deserve friends. You deserve love.

You deserve to eat.

Getting a new follower and finding out they’re a terf is kind of like getting a new follower only to realize it’s a porn bot, but a thousand times worse.

Porn bots don’t give a fuck about my content or who I am, but this terf actually scrolled through my blog and thought, “yes, this is a person whose opinions I’d like to see more of.” It makes me feel super fucking gross and that I’m probably not doing enough to support trans women.

So just for the record: trans women are women. The existence of trans women does not detract from my womanhood or the womanhood of anybody else. This is not a blog for people who believe otherwise. Take your transphobia elsewhere.

And, to my followers: please help me stay accountable. If I reblog something that marginalizes trans people (or sex workers or POC or anyone else), please let me know so that I can make amends.

PSA if you’re a terf and you follow me please just … don’t. Thanks.

The Trans Teen's Guide to School

So, being a teen, we sort of have to go to school. We have to face a lot of people, who may not accept us, every day. So we need some tips for the trans teen on how to survive in school.

Ignore people if they are rude to you. If someone shouts derogatory terms, ignore them as best you can if you don’t want to confront them. Then report it to a teacher or school official.

Stay with a friend. Don’t wander the halls alone, get a close friend to go with you so you won’t get ambushed if you are worried that about a student that is violently transphobic.

Be confident. People will question less if you are sure of yourself.

Make it official. Take it up with the school that you are this gender, and your name is that name, and you want to be referred to with these pronouns.

Talk to a counselor or teacher. If someone is giving you grief, you can tell them and they will be dealt with.

Join an LGBT club, if there is one in your school. There may not be any other trans people there, but at least they tend to be an accepting group.

Get your parents’ support, as well as other family members and siblings that attend your school. If you have someone close who will stand up for you, it’s easier.

Have friends who aren’t afraid to stand up for you and correct people who use the wrong pronouns to refer to you.

Just be yourself. Don’t act hyper-masculine or hyper-feminine just because everyone thinks you are he or she now. Act how you are comfortable acting.

Hope this helped followers!

this is such a silly thing but I see the tide pod memes are on the rise and I just want to shout into the void that I read a study about people eating these things, mostly adults with dementia. before this progresses to people jokingly biting into them please be aware that the substance inside is so deeply caustic that it can damage your esophagus after one bite to such an extent that it causes necrosis and you die. please do not, as a joke, bite the pods.
