Holy shit, when did I get nearly 800 followers on here
Lou Sullivan, trans activist (1951 - 1991)
I think about Lou Sullivan at least once a week; he will stay in my mind forever.
This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:
If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.
This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace
everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.
"this movie doesn't hold up bcos of dated special effects :(" to you, maybe. i would clap at a bat on a string
reblogs are back on for october! limited edition
My mother has vexed me for the last time, I refuse to speak with her from this point forth.
Disappointing, yet I feel so free knowing I will not have to fight with her over fundamental issues again.
Have a photo of my son, Balthazar, in these times.
I live in complete poverty and disability. Trying to make art to sell as prints as I am not getting commissions the way I used to. I am disabled and diabetic, immunocompromised from recent surgery, and I live in a traditional filipino house partially destroyed by storms and termites. I work 3 jobs, but they are all very unstable. Please please please, if you've ever derived joy from my art or insight from my posts or book recs, if you could pick up a print, send a tip, or subscribe to my patreon where I have 400+ exclusive drawings / early access, it would help keep me alive, in the most literal sense. I have been given a second chance at life, and I would like to keep living. Thank you so much

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are feeling the wrath of constituents as their phone lines light up with complaints, worries and confus

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
Genuinely, please ultize calling your representatives. I don't care what color your state swings, it all can be altered by the number of people who actively participate in our legislation process. Your voice is the most powerful tool and it must be used if you want things to get better, not just for yourself but others as well.
Make it a part of your routine; I will share that I have started to call them as apart of my morning walk to work because by the time I get out, the lines hours are closed.
I know it can be stressful talking on the phone, but Friend, it's very low stakes. Everytime I've spoken to someone, it's almost always a kind intern who's just collecting your statements. You don't even get to speak to the senators directly and you can call them as often as you need until they Do Their Job.
Let them know how upset you are, show them what you really care about.

Might vent post soon
Nah, I should just make art about it

...fortunately we live in a democracy.
I've started a new job after being unemployed for a scary minute.
I am very grateful because I got rejection after rejection after rejection email for a couple months.
That being said; I am realizing that since I am in a new work environment, my default personality is Odd Quiet Guy.
I bought my first pair of trans pride socks when I was 16.
I wore them until the holes in the heels made it hurt to wear them.
I was 16 and one of the only out students in my high school.
I was 16 and I felt scared to use the men's restrooms, despite having permission.
I was 16 and half of my teachers wouldn't use my correct pronouns.
I was 16 and my classmates whispered behind my back.
I was 16 and Trump had just been elected.
I was 16 and thought I wouldn't survive long enough to vote in the next election.
I was 16 and I was very scared.
I'm 24 and I bought my second pair of trans pride socks today.
I walked home with them clear on display.
I'm 24 and I am a teacher at a high school.
I'm 24 and I wear my boots with rainbow laces to work.
I'm 24 and my students call me "Mr." without hesitation.
I'm 24 and my students speak freely about their partners around me.
I'm 24 and Trump was just re-elected.
I'm 24 and I've voted for two presidents now, even though we lost this time.
I'm 24 and I'm still here.
I'm 24, despite the odds.
And then I will be 32.
And then I will be 40.
And then.
And then.
I will buy another pair of socks.
