if you are reading this, I have likely passed on.
Dear followers and friends,
If you have followed me at all it's really no secret how my outlook has been these last few months. And if we're being honest, I was never really prepared at all for what life demanded of me. There's so many things I love and am passionate about. I am elated with my transition, my recent surgery, everything to do with my body and being trans.
But it's everything else that this life asked of me, that capitalism demanded and enforced. I don't have to explain this to you. We all understand.
I just want it to be known this was my choice and one that I am very much at peace with. I don't want anyone to feel like they could have done better or they should have done something. I want my agency here to be respected. If you have at all interacted with me, talked to me, befriended me, helped me, supported me- all of that has meant the world to me and made things brighter and more bearable while I was here. I truly thank you.
I'm going to schedule this post for a week after my attempt. There's of course the possibility I survive but won't have access to this account in time, but I have high confidence in my means.
Keep fighting comrades, and never lose your compassion for yourself and others.
Sometimes I really want to take everyone under the age of 24 (as of 2026) by the shoulders and say:
"I'm really sorry that lockdown and the ongoing pandemic interrupted pivotal educational and social/emotional development moments for you. You have an uphill battle towards adjusting to a lot of community based efforts because you experienced a mass trauma during an incredibly important time in your life where you should have physically been around your peers learning to engage in shared community. There is no "but" here, I'm genuinely really sorry. Something many of us consider key points in our interpersonal growth as youths was taken from you, not without reason but without care for its impact on you. I hope you know we are eternally allies in our struggles and if that is something you struggle to know I hope you can learn it someday."
Because so many of the angriest, most disenfranchised people I see on this website are under 24 and I often try to put younger people's behavior in the context of where they might have been 2020. I've seen the impact on my siblings and their peers+friends first hand, all ages 18-24. We've talked about how its impacted them, the isolation, the attachment to the internet, the anxieties and phobias and fears it developed in them due to the pandemic, the political unrest, and the responses to both that we've seen since. I know they're not the only ones and I know how much being marginalized also influences that impact too.
It's terrifying. I know it must be terrifying for a lot of the young people on Tumblr too. I hope one day we're able to bridge all of those complex feelings into something collective and positive so we can do our best to prevent similar traumas from happening to future generations.
"this suicidal person is so stupid for believing nobody will miss them. i remember people i haven't talked to in years lol"
ok but are you present in their life enough for them to realize that?
we can all say after the fact that we cared for our friend who committed or disappeared or whatever. we can even mean it when we say it. we can think about them. but did we ever act on it? did we ever even make them feel like we were there? "nobody would care if i disappeared" is not a literal phrase. of course they know that people would care. what the phrase conveys is a deep sense of alienation that can't be mended by implying stupidity on their part.
no but im so tired of how self-deprecation is always more accepted than self-advocacy. if i say i can't drive because im autistic i get questioned on how exactly that works and given a million suggestions on how to do it anyway and i look like im trying to be special so it's easier to just say im a loser. yeah i don't drive because im kind of a loser lmao. oh well. and people say lmao back and we move on. at worst they say "oh im sure you'll figure it out haha." but no interrogation!! being a loser is more respectable than being disabled. being a loser is something that doesn't make other people feel uncomfortable about their own biases. so no, no im not disabled. i don't struggle to keep friends and do the laundry and make quick trivial decisions and clean my room and brush my teeth because im autistic. it's because im a loser. it's my fault. it is what it is. at least im funny now. do you think im funny? please think im funny
"Why there isn't more trans men in history, contributing to queer advancements?" damn I wonder why people who were previously women that were forced into marriages and into being property either of their fathers or husbands would have a hard time coming out as a trans man. Truly a mystery. Oh wait you're also telling me people that lived their whole lives as men but were outed after they died are actually lesbians that did that to scape sexism? That's so cool. What more are you wrong about.
dude u reminded me of some really happy childhood memories of reading roald dahl's books n short stories and stuff. looking back, i think i liked it so much because his child characters felt so ... alive? there's a quote from him where he talks about how everything is so much bigger and scarier when you're a kid, how you're surrounded by giants who yell at you and tower over you and it's so easy to forget that when you grow up. like he really understood children as their own people with their own emotions, and knew how to communicate his ideas and his stories with kids in mind. i never felt patronized reading his stuff, or like i was reading what an adult thinks a child would like.
i was really gutted to learn he had some terrible views (i was an adult by that time, but it still hurt)
yeah i absolutely adore his stories i think he is one of if not the best childrens writers. even as an adult it can be very healing to read.
rest in piss bad man with a genuinely great talent
Everything that is typically rented can and should be collectively owned instead. Not in some hypothetical “post-revolution” but right damn now
People who already rent or would like to collectively own pool their resources, either (preferably) the material goods in question or else money to buy them
The goods are collected and, if need be, stored somewhere for use by the customer-owners
If fees need to be collected (for maintenance/repair/replacement, or fuel, or to pay off loans that were taken out to buy the good) they are managed by the customer-owners democratically. Any excess profit is either used to expand the offered services or donated to other local orgs (e.g. Food Not Bombs, community gardens, etc)
This model has been applied to everything from tools to cars to housing and it works great. And if money needs to be collected (rather than surviving solely on donations), the rates are much, much lower than conventional rental services because none of it is going to line the pockets of some bourgeois whose only contribution was having the money to buy up something that people need
its so weird to me that cis people will dislike their name so ardently and yet. not change it. you guys know that’s an option, right. no one can make you keep the shit name your mom gave you. no, not even her.
One of my friends in undergrad changed his name because he didn’t want to bear the name of his abusive and absent father. It’s been years since he did it, and he still says that it was the single best decision of his life.
One of my friends in high school changed his named as soon as he turned 18, so that the ethnic name his family gave him was finally the name reflected on all of his paperwork. He told me that he understood why his parents had given him an “English” name, but that he felt that if he needed to assimilate in order to succeed, then that was a type of success that he didn’t want.
When I was on my way home from the courthouse after changing my own name, I got into a conversation with my rideshare driver, who was extremely interested once I told him what I was in court for, and wanted to know how I’d done it, how much it cost, was it difficult, etc. It turned out that his girlfriend had chosen the name “Yo-yo” when she came to the United States, unaware of how rare that was as a name, and that she was frequently made fun of because of it. Neither one of them had realized that a name change was so easy, and he told me he was excited to let her know that she had options.
There was an intern at a summer job I had once, who changed her name to be the same name, but a different spelling. She said that she had no idea why her parents had spelled her name so oddly to begin with, and suspected that it was just an honest mistake either by them or by some nurse, but it had been a headache for her entire life, and it was a huge relief to not need to be correcting people’s spelling on important documents anymore.
One of my exes legally changed his name to have an exclamation point, because he liked to sign his name with an exclamation point.
You can always change your name if you don’t like it. You always have that option. It doesn’t matter why – it can be conformist or anti-assimilationist, serious or silly, a minor change or a major change. Your name is yours, and you have every right to change it to be whatever you want.
I was watching an old gameshow episode from the 80s and there was a guy named Stripes. He said he legally changed his name when he was 5 because he liked the name Stripes.
hope you’re having a good tshot friday! It’s been a bit hectic on my end.
thank you! hope your weekend is restful ^^
matilda and james and the giant peach are such special stories like how often does child abuse truly get depicted in such a naked way, for a young audience in a way that respects their experiences, THROUGH the pov of the victim and not an observer. and what makes them so truly impactful is how the children are removed completely from their abusers and rescued by adults who love them and keep them safe. you just have to appreciate the honesty and the hopefulness of it. makes me cry every time
looking at the "international snacks" section at walmart and its like. takis, ferrero rocher, pringles (taco fiesta flavor)
not exactly what i was looking for but thanks i guess
when you’re a little girl boys will say “so if boys and girls are equal that means I get to hit you right?”
and then you grow up to be a trans man and people will say to you “oh i thought you wanted to be a man, that means you have to put up with [abusive behavior]”
and they will tell you these 2 things do not stem from the same desires of gendered punishment and control
#cis men view trans men as women they can hit without scrutiny #and cis women view trans men as men they can hit without consequences
Everyone keep sending your attacks. She can't protect him forever
sorry if i weirded you out with my messages earlier (remembers im trying to be more self confident) but actually it was normal of me to do so (becomes nervous im acting superior) because i am a human like everybody else and not better than anyone (remembers i am better than some people) except for really bad people (notices the ideological can of worms opened by previous clause) but anyone can work towards self improvement (remembers im trying to be more self confident) like meeee :)
good person
self described empath
"witchy"
you can have at most 2 qualities from this list but never 3
