I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive

You don’t understand how genuinely excited and happy I got to finally see another person talk about how “mutt” is a slur against mixed-race people…

I once had a white person think they were entitled to it because of their trauma regarding dehumanization—like buddy, what do you think the slur was meant to do to us?

“Oh, but I’m just referring to a mixed-breed dog!” The slur is literally comparing us to the likes of a mixed-breed dog.

Here’s some more alternatives to this for people who are actually decent enough to care:

General—

Pup . Hound . Cur . Canine . Canis . Canid . Scenthound . Sighthound . Wolfhound . Stray . Hellhound . Pupper

Mixed-Breed—

Patchwork Pup . Hybrid Hound . Combo Canine . Piebald Pup . Harlequin Hound . Merle Mix . Pinto Pup . Prism Pup/Paw . Mixed-Breed . [x]-Mix

Like…just tap into y’alls creativity—a slur isn’t the only option there is!

Also, while I’m here, because I’ve seen it happen on some occasions and should mention it before it becomes an active issue like this one: DO NOT USE THE WORD “COON” IF Y’ALL AIN’T BLACK/MIXED WITH BLACK. 😭

putting this ask on a big sign and tapping it with a meterstick

i miss something i’ll never have. the “best-friends-since-childhood” trope.

to be seen through all of my stages of growing up, of making mistakes, of learning, changing, and still having a friend group—or even just one person—who has been there since the start to grow with me and hasn’t drifted away. it’s something i’ve always fantasized wanting as a kid, unrealistic as it is.

i almost had something similar, almost. once, with someone i met in 2020. he was my best friend, we were always on the same page, we went through hell together, and i finally thought i had what i’d been looking for, the one in a million chance—until winter 2024 where something, somewhere, switched. and i got blocked without warning. the hardest decision i’ve ever made was removing him from every aspect of my life in return without even knowing what i did wrong.

i don’t feel feelings for long, ever, and it’s been nearly two years since this happened (hell he reached out at the start of this year to apologize) yet i’m still.. broken by this. i still never got full closure, or was ever told in detail what i did wrong so i could grow from it. i’ve never been so distraught over anyone in my life. it still physically hurts to remember how much i was disrespected and tossed aside like nothing by the only person who understood me for years, more than my own family, who i gave everything to and trusted my life with (as he did me).

i’ve become colder as a person in a way i can’t reverse. i’ll never be the same after that.

as happy as i am for them, i get jealous seeing my old friends from elementary still hanging out together, whether it be for a special occasion or just to laugh together. it pains me to see that they still have the connections i was never able to keep. was i not a good enough part of the group? why was i too weird? why do they get to have their happy stories and i don’t? what have i done wrong?

i’ll be leaving for college in a month. i’ll be in a new environment, meeting new faces, hearing new stories, watching the wheel of fortune once again circle through its phases. no one will know me, but no one will know me either.

all i’ve ever wanted is to be seen and understood. yet time and time again it gets robbed from me. it hurts to know i never will be loved in the way i wanted to be.

life can be a cruel joke.

purple--starrrs

By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!

☆ …. so.🌚

we discovered we might maybe possibly be a systemm 😀… yayy😀…

so um. because of this. we dont rlly know what to really doo with this blog anymore... our main guy who’s been running it hasn’t been primarily active in like.. a week to begin with. and i want to keep his pages running but idk what to do with them and its kind of freaking me out.

we still experience nonhumanity as a whole, and now it’s much easier to see who is what creature and how it connects us all, but reading through all of our posts written in a singular perspective feels like, rlly jarring… and idk how to fix it.🥲

idek if im allowed to talk ab this cause its only been like nearly two weeks now since we’ve hit this discovery but uhh yeah. thats what’s going on. ☆

Kinda wild how most people generally recognize that the "too sick to go to school, too sick to watch tv/play games" mindset our parents had was bullshit but still impose essentially the exact same rules on disabled adults and scrutinize them for enjoying low-energy hobbies while being too fatigued or in pain to work a full time job (or any job at all)

saying this as a lesbian who loves women's boobs--sexually, even! but i don't think that we as a society should consider breasts inherently female or inherently sexual. a flat chest should not be seen as the "default" for gender neutrality but instead just one way a person can present. boobs should be normal. anyone of any gender can have boobs

*pic for attention*

I need help bad. Idk what to say. I just im not sure if I want to keep trying. It feels like it all amounts to nothing. Im canceling dr appts bc I cant afford them. Im off my medications bc I cant afford them. I have until the 11th to save my car. My power will be off the 13th. I need food. Im exhausted. I just dont know how to keep going when for years I have tried and tried and done nothing but got sicker and sicker and therefore poorer and poorer. I don't think ive reached goal in months, years actually so i just keep drowning more. Im so tired. It feels like noone gives a fuck abt black women, abt poor women, abt disabled women, abt gay women, abt trans women. Feels like my and my wife's existence is just a joke to the universe.

If u are able to help me I'll put my paylinks and home needs wishlist below:

unfuckyourhabitat

Emergency cleaning: Unfuck your whole house in the shortest time possible

So, your landlord/parents/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.

Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark side. You can do this, but you have to stay calm.

Unlike maintenance cleaning, we’re not looking to completely unfuck one space at a time. Instead, we want to decrease the overall mess in stages, spread evenly across the whole area that we’re concerned about. If you think your home is at Level 10 filth, we want to bring the whole thing down to a Level 9, and then down from there. One really clean spot in an otherwise messy home is not going to be helpful here.

Get prepared. You’ll want to shut the computer down (or turn the modem off if you need your computer to play music). Trust me. Get your music going. Gather up trash bags, your vacuum and mop, some rags or paper towel, sponges, and other cleaning supplies. Use what you have on hand. Don’t get distracted running to the store and spending an hour browsing cleaning supplies. A multi-purpose cleaning concentrate or a jug of vinegar will be just fine.

Breaks are very important. Depending on your time constraints, work in 20/10s (20 minutes working, 10-minute break) or 45/15s. But take breaks because otherwise you’re marathoning, and marathon cleaning is no one’s friend. Keep hydrated, don’t forget to eat, and check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re physically doing OK.

Make your bed. This will be your home base if you get overwhelmed or need somewhere clear to take a break.

Start with the garbage. Going from room to room, throw out anything that is obvious trash. Once you fill a bag, take it out. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Move on to dishes. Gather the dishes from all over your house and bring them to the kitchen. If you can, start them soaking in a sink of hot, soapy water or start loading the dishwasher. After the dishes are all in one place, spend one 20/10 getting started getting them under control.

Now it’s time for your flat surfaces. Countertops, tables, dresser tops, etc. Clear them off and wipe them down. Don’t get distracted in too much sorting and organizing. We’re in crisis mode here. There will be time to get in-depth once this is all done. The same applies to cabinets and closets. Unless you have reason to believe people will be opening closed doors, leave these alone for now.

Attack the floordrobe and shoe pile. Get your clothes either put away or in the hamper. Start a load of laundry if you need to, but keep in mind that laundry and dishes have three steps: wash, dry, and put it away, goddammit!

Get random stuff up off the floors. If something is trash-worthy, throw it away now rather than just move it around a bunch of times. Otherwise, put stuff where it belongs.

Take another 20/10 or 45/15 to catch up on more dishes, if needed.

Head into the bathroom. Pour some cleaner in the toilet bowl, fill the sink with hot water and cleaner, and either spray the tub and shower with cleaner, or fill the tub up with some hot water and add cleaner and let it soak. Put everything away that’s out and shouldn’t be, clean the mirror, counters, and toilet seat. Sweep or dry mop the floor. Wipe down the sink and tub/shower, and give the toilet bowl a scrub. Mop the floor.

Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

Vacuum everything you can, and sweep everything you can’t.

Walk outside of your house (don’t lock yourself out, please). Walk back in and see what catches your eye first. Go and deal with that.

If you’re being inspected or your landlord is coming in for repairs, spend time on whatever area they’ll be focusing on.

Give the whole place one more once-over and pay attention to anything you’ve missed so far.

It’s an old trick, but if your place is a little funky-smelling, put a pan of water on the stove on low heat and add some citrus or cinnamon or vanilla. Don’t leave it unattended or forget about it.

Take a shower, put on something clean, and eat something.

You can do this. It’s overwhelming, yes, but it is not impossible. You just need to do it. You have a list. You have directions. You have a whole bunch of Internet strangers who have been there before and who are cheering you on. You can do this, but you need to get started.

Why are you still here? GO. START. NOW.

the number of times in my past that I desperately wanted/needed someone to sit me down and tell me this stuff. I will never get back the hours and hours lost to headless-chicken mode, but it’s nice to know that in the last year I’ve learned so many coping mechanisms :D

ecotherian

I refuse to allow my identity to be erased by misinformation online.

“Therians don’t actually identify as animals” “Therianthropy is only a spiritual connection” “If you identify as an animal you aren’t an actual Therian”

Some people think that commenting these things are helping our community “find themselves”. They are not. They are actively harming the therian community and its members.

We cannot allow the spread of misinformation like this, unless we want our identities to be watered down and erased to a “connection”.

Always thinking about how black women originated the long acrylic nails look and were mocked and insulted for them for years, the look was called ghetto and disgusting... And now the same look is just the default fucking style of nail in middle class America lol

circusheart

I know this happens with so many trends and styles that start in black communities but this one has always stuck out to me the most for how blatant and quick the flip was as soon as white girls started doing it, like within three years having long acrylic nails went from "ghetto" to chic

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

qcharlie

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

qcharlie

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

qcharlie

hope it's alright to screenshot and add your examples <3 very well worded
