To anyone who experienced emotional abuse growing up:

It's okay to feel angry

It's okay to be angry at the people who hurt you and the people who never protected you

You deserved to have your boundaries respected

You deserved to be treated with respect

You aren't asking for too much when you ask to be treated with dignity

You aren't asking too much when you ask to be given space

Your trauma isn't any less valid if you didn't experience physical or sexual abuse

You deserve to feel safe

You deserve to feel loved

You do not have to feel obligated to stay in touch with your abuser(s) even if they're family

You are not the exception

Remember:

You can dislike something without it being morally wrong. Something doesn't have to be homophobic/transphobic/ableist for you to dislike it.

You can also like something without it being morally pure. Something can have elements that are offensive but still mean a lot to you. As long as you aren't directly supporting someone who is doing real world harm or denying that those elements are present, it's fine to enjoy things.

This account is getting close to 100 followers. I'd like to do something fun when I reach 100 but I'm not sure what. Maybe I'll do a giveaway for some handmade pride pins, although I'm not sure. Would anyone be interested in something like that?

I spent some time making a new header and icon. I know it’s a lot of colors but I think it turned out pretty well. I find the classic pride colors really bright so I always make them a bit lighter.

I wanted to talk about a post I saw because I think it’s a really good example of a lot of problems I have with how information and mis/disinformation spreads on tumblr... But I ended up going through a ton of really awful blogs and now I just don’t want to bother.
