okay, one more thing.

The intent of anti-trans “bathroom bills” is not to make trans women use men’s rooms, or to make trans men use women’s rooms.  No one really wants that.  No one is even trying to pretend that things would be okay if we used the “correct” bathrooms but still dressed and acted like ourselves.

The intent of these bills is to drive trans people out of the public space entirely.

let’s be clear about that.

If I could offer a young person advice about anything it would be do NOT make life decisions based on your boyfriend or girlfriend. Girls especially. Do NOT stay close to home for him, do not skip opportunities to travel or study abroad, do not pick a safe college to be with him. Expand your horizons. Broaden your own life. He is not the world.

I want everyone who disagrees with this post to come back to me in a couple years and tell me how that shit worked out.

Someone on here once pointed out how whenever beauty vloggers on youtube do those, “my boyfriend does my makeup” challenges; the guy never seems to know what he’s doing, he doesn’t know what contouring is or highlighting and everyone thinks he’s just being a dude but really it shows that he obviously doesn’t watch his girlfriend’s videos that she’s clearly passionate about making, if he can’t understand something as simple as a primer and that really sucks

I also think about how wild it is that women get mocked and made fun of for pretending to be interested in sports and other things that are typically understood as male interests, and it seems like we’re the weird ones for doing that, but it’s crazy how there’s no pressure on men to be interested in, or at least understand anything considered feminine, like, wouldn’t you want to have knowledge about something your significant other is interested in?

I see memes where the guy is shopping for what to get his girlfriend and someone suggests a highlighter and dude goes out and gets sharpie highlighters! Then people think it’s hilarious, because he’s just a guy being a dude y'know but if a girl doesn’t know shit about basketball, or football, or video games, or cars, or comics or whatever else she’s an idiot

There’s one beauty “guru” I watch regularly on Youtube. Her name is Tati Westbrook. One of the things I absolutely LOVE about her videos is that her husband regularly makes cameos and tries out products with her, gives her feedback and opinions when she’s reviewing stuff, and actually DID A SHIT TON OF RESEARCH when they did the “Husband does my makeup” thing. Like, he’ll regularly go “oh, you were wearing that in your other video!” or “I saw that product, can I review it too?” He’s not by any means “into” makeup himself, but he clearly loves her to bits and supports her and encourages her in all her endeavors. And it pains me that this is so noteworthy. https://www.youtube.com/user/GlamLifeGuru is her channel, if anyone is curious.

@white feminists: stop telling brown girls they’re “harming” feminism when they shave their body hair and conform to beauty standards. It’s much harder for brown women to pull off not conforming than white women. There’s a very harsh double standard when it comes to body hair and beauty standards in general on brown girls. (if ur white maybe reblog this to support ur brown sisters)

consider: la la land, but with lesbians

[erevshelshoshanim]

Black lesbians so that the film doesn’t grossly whitewash jazz and the actual struggles black musicians went through :)

[durnesque-esque]

Consider: La La Land with black lesbians played by actresses who can actually sing and dance so instead of being a lack luster imitation of the golden age musical it is the sparkling revival of the genre with modern sensibilities.

do me a favor and think about how many prominent professional makeup artists you can think of. how many of them are men? plenty. 

now think of every major makeup brand you find in stores and tell me how many of them have men at their highest positions. hint; it’s all of them. literally all of them. estee lauder, loreal, shiseido, lvmh, etc. ALL OF THEM have men as their chief executive officers. 

men are not subject to the same standards of beauty that women are. wearing makeup is essentially required of women to be taken seriously as adults, to be seen as attractive or even healthy… and there are men sitting at the top of these corporations getting paid off of those oppressive standards. 

but yeah sis your poppin highlight is definitely going to smash the patriarchy

and before any of u libfems try it: i wear makeup all the time i just don’t act like it’s fucking insurrectionary

TATTOO PSA

SO I HAVE NEVER ONCE SEEN A POST LIKE THIS. AND OBVIOUSLY TATTOO ARTISTS AREN’T GOING TO MENTION IT. BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

IF YOU ARE A RECOVERING SELF HARMER AND ARE PLANNING ON GETTING A TATTOO, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE HEALING PROCESS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF CUTS. WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY TRIGGERING.

THE SCABS ARE SUPER SIMILAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE GETTING WRITING OR FINE LINES. AND IT ITCHES JUST LIKE HEALING CUTS DO. I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED. NO ONE REALLY TOLD ME AND I GOT A HUGE REALITY CHECK THIS MORNING.

THAT IS ALL

I don’t usually share stuff like this, but as someone who also struggles with mental health issues, it’s understandable how sharing this could help someone out.

what i love about tumblr romanticizing bees is that a lot of us grew up being scared of them. but now there’s people appreciating their aesthetic, their nature, their existence, and it’s just nice

that doesn’t necessarily equate in people fighting for bees, or planting adequate flowers for them, but the chances for that happening are a lot higher. i know for a fact that i profited off those posts on how to help bees that were/are going around

i like the romanticization of bees. it gives me a tiny chunk of peace

listen we’re always pushing back against anti-vaxxers with the science showing that no, vaccines don’t cause autism, but can we please talk about the underlying problem here which is that people hate autistic children? 

even if the poorly researched pseudo-science was right and vaccines had any link to autism in children, i would still want myself and my children vaccinated because guess what, there’s nothing wrong with autistic people.

 what i hear when people say they don’t want their children vaccinated against deadly illnesses because they believe that vaccines cause autism is not just that they’re horribly misinformed, but that they’d rather have a sick, dying, or dead child than an autistic child. and honestly, that’s pretty fucked up and just goes to show that neurotypical people don’t view us as people who are equally entitled to life.
