I’m not saying it was a deliberate act of racism, but that’s why it’s so insidious, because it happens without conscious thought; this is a pretty good example of how racism slips into literally every aspect of daily life without people even noticing. If you need more Vitamin D, supplements are good enough. They work for people who live in countries that already don’t get much sunlight. If you are dark skinned, do NOT spend an hour in the Sun unprotected, use sunscreen and stay in the shade.

Here’s an article on the signs of skin cancer in people with all skin types, and why it’s a complete misunderstanding that people with more melanin don’t need as much sun protection.

Do NOT go outside into the sun without fucking sunscreen in this weather. Avoid excessively exposing yous skin in the first place, too. It's best to wear light, rlowy clothing and cover yourself as much as possible, and use a good amount of sunscreen on the parts where you are exposed.

Your body can work with the amount of UV it gets this way. It's fucking fine.

Someone who tells you to walk around under this sun unprotected a set amount of time (bullshit) is either deeply mistaken, or deliberately trying to raise your risk of multitude of problems, including cancer. And heatstroke. Especially now where some places in this world are experiencing their highest temperatures in their entire written history.

From a hollistic—

why are you calling me annoying on a post defending my right to simply exist?

why do you think poly people are like, an 'acceptable' class of ppl to just mock even on posts by a poly person talking about biases against poly people?? and so much of the mocking is coming from other queer ppl! jsyk the majority who thinks polyamory is a disgusting perversion think the same thing about your monogamous gay relationship!

i make a post like 'it's fucked up that people judge me and make entire presumptions about my personality and life and morality based on the relationships i'm in' and you're like 'true they shouldn't do that. however you are annoying. which i know based on the relationships you're in''

i'm annoying???? what is wrong with you? and nvm that so many 'jokes' about poly ppl are actually just making fun of fat and disabled people. i am so fed up. how are you going to reblog a post to 'support' poly people and insult poly people in the tags???

There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.

the good news: I know my process enough to recognize this as the slump that I hit in everything I write when it's like three-quarters-ish done

the bad news: the only way out is through

the good news: I do know the way out!
