trying to understand why you would go out of your way to misgender someone and question their calls for basic respect and decency. trying to understand how you as a person of color— A BLACK PERSON, would undermine a person’s pleas for dignity. trying to understand what you gain by discrediting and invalidating trans people.

matter of fact, I NEVER want to understand that point of view.

there are a lot of undiagnosed adults out there but i do think it's a shame that we've reached a point where having hobbies and interests past the age of 20 is seen as a touch of the tism. i know many older adults who suppress all their childish desires and throw out all their old toys and for what. are you scared of being 'weird' ? who give a shit.

I love this because like 99% of this kind of paleoart is patriarchal Man the Hunter type fantasies but these guys are just like “fuck it we’re outta here”

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

[its-the-blob]

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

Pictures I took of some artwork featured in Artomatic in DC last year.

I wish I could remember the artist who did these to properly credit them, but should that artist happen to come across this: this was probably one of my favorite rooms from the whole exhibition

my home. my city… fractured by company politics and the rich’s greed that overtakes the wellbeing of the people who live here and the families that have existed here for decades— centuries even. washington, dc… my first love and first real contributor to heartache
