I hope one year from now me is doing good, I hope she’s happy and I hope she got what she wanted

Just try your best, get off your phone as much as you can, honor your hurt feelings and also the hurt feelings of others, favor sincerity over nonchalance whenever it’s appropriate to, reach out to people you miss, let go of people when it’s time, operate from a deeply rooted self respect rather than from a lens of what people think, try your best to read the room, sit in the sun on overcast days (with sunscreen on), drink lots of water, pursue everything you want aggressively, accept that your timeline will be different, welcome detours if circumstances call for them, hold both yourself and others accountable, try to move your body as much as you can and you will be okay diva

there’s something about becoming older where everything feels finite. summer isn’t endless, love isn’t eternal. you move homes, your favorite boots fall apart, your dog dies. everything feels consuming and beautiful when it is believed to be eternal. now it is all precious. everything. and there is a melancholy that comes with it.

it's okay pluto, im not a planet either

[tadc-crit]

One of my friends, who I'll be calling Pink, sent me a list of recs for me to put here for crit folks!

Pink's explanation for each rec (minus the CosCol Studios stuff since. Iykyk(/silly). Though that's @cosmic-collective-studios as a reminder for anyone who hasn't checked our stuff out yet ^^):

Laika's Comet: Webcomic with a trans woman protagonist that portrays a post-post apocalypse world and reaffirms kindness, compassion, and patience with abuse survivors even when they're "causing a scene"

Rent (2005): My prior notes about "problematic" transfem rep, it's a musical with a heartbreaking backstory, the funeral scene with a song that isn't appropriated and is actually emotionally impactful

Perfect Blue/Serial Experiments Lain: Both lean VERY heavily into dissociative themes and the difference between digital and real world selves, where that line is drawn, ect. Perfect Blue is more horror forward while SEL is more psychological

No Evil: As I said, just vibes and it's an underrated *actual indie* series with no studio behind it

The Property Of Hate: Webcomic by Modmad, who has been personally fucked over by Glitch because one of their characters was plagiarized for one of the series and Glitch ignored every attempt of Mod's to reach out and discuss it, to the point they've had to start legal proceedings

Kirby Air Riders: Kirby actually isn't the protag of this game! The actual protag uses it/its (for all of its aspects) and is very heavily plural coded, one of its aspects is a very cool looking antihero, and the story plays with themes of autonomy and identity. As much as a Kirby spinoff's relatively short story mode can, anyway. It's still very impactful. Plus robot gore for people who are interested in that.

17776: "There is meaning in a stagnant life" THAT IS LITERALLY THE MESSAGE OF 17776! In a world where nobody ages or dies and all of the "big problems" have been solved, people will still be people. Made me cry quite a bit /pos

The Post Traumatic Manifesto: Concept album following a group of girls struggling with various mental health problems and trauma, portrayed in an unfiltered and sympathetic manner, and they all get to recover in their own ways in the end and find community in each other.

A 19-year-old black trans girl was shot to death this month, and there has been absolutely no media reporting on it - despite extensive reporting on almost identical incidents in the same part of Florida, at the same time. The police, as usual, misgendered her in the police report and have done nothing to find her killer. Her name was Jayla Mcgee. Black trans people deserve to grow old.

A Black trans teen was shot and killed in Florida. Almost no one reported it

Police misgendered Jayla McGee, local media overlooked her homicide, and her community was left to make sure she was not erased.

[razziecat]

The site notes that McGee was the 15th reported transgender person of color killed in the United States this year.

GUYS PIRATING IS BAD.

DO NOT PIRATE ANYTHING. NOT SHOWS/MOVIES. NOT GAMES OR SAFER GAMES. AND CERTAINLY NOT BOOKS. AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS. AND NEVER EVER EVER WATCH MUSICALS WITHOUT GOING TO THEM AND DONT USE ADBLOCKERS/OTHER ADBLOCKER TO AVOID ADS AND VIRUSES PIRATING IS VERY HARMFUL TO THE CORPORATIONS WHO WORKS VERY HARD TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE AND THEIR MONEY. ANYONE WHO PIRATES IS BAD. BAD PIRATING. EVIL. OH AND THIS

[cordiwaffledoeschaos]

you’re right, ima repost this so others can see it and know not to do this

[redstonedust]

"i know this show was made for children but i enjoy it too." > awesome and cool. watch whatever you want forever.

"i know it LOOKS like it was made for children but its SECRETLY for us. calling it a kids show is an insult cause kids could never understand these THEMES and EMOTIONS. we're the TRUE fans." > i dont think i trust your opinions. you seem lame as fuck.

[sycamorality]

mobility aids and glasses AND MEDICATION should be free for everyone

[redstonedust]

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

[tedcruzisthezodiackiller]

[fangs4faggots]

i think we should start openly mocking male creatives who can't figure out how to write women. like actually i think it's embarrassing that it took elliot page transitioning for christopher nolan to give him a good role. why did it take like ten years to get the first female lead in a marvel movie? why is it a Known Fact that stephen king can't write women? why is 50% of the population omitted from large ensemble works? i asked my friend to name a movie directed by a man with a majority female cast and he said ghostbusters 2016. ghostbusters. ghostbusters. g

basically im a tmbg fan first and human second

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

[creacher-art]

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

[garbage-empress]

I would also like to mention that Banda has significantly higher humidity than Death Valley even during the dry season so if those numbers aren't heat index adjusted, it probably felt even hotter than that.

DUDE... not checking tumblr every 2 seconds is actually GOOD FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH?
