Like for many people, having to micromanage your every thought and constantly correct and repress "wrong" thoughts and feelings is far more unhealthy than joking about dark subjects - or openly accepting and working with an unpleasant reality - ever could be, but I guess we're all too crazy to be allowed to conclude that something doesn't work for us

A cautionary tale about the growing literacy crisis

The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.

No matter how shitty it might feel in the moment, most of the time when someone comes to you to communicate a boundary or a need or a negative feeling about something you did, it is actually a compliment. They are telling you BECAUSE they care about you and want it to work between you and because they trust you to care to do better. If they didn't care about you, they'd just avoid you. That uncomfortable convo is in fact a declaration of love and trust. Or at least intention of friendship. If they didn't like you, they'd just try to avoid you whenever possible. They wouldn't care to have The Talk (which is often scary and uncomfortable for them also). So try to treat their trust with care, even if it really upsets you to learn that you've accidentally hurt them

we NEED to abolish the social perception of breasts being inherently sexual good fucking lord.

i bet it feels good as fuck to start swaying on your feet after overtaxing your magic reserves

y'know i don't really love how people use "butch" interchangeably with "handy"

*north american approaching lesbian couple* so which one of you is useful and which one of you is the woman

Sorry but the point of this post is that knowing how to drywall doesn't make me masculine, this is not a safe space to talk about your noble butch identity or whatever

Referring to someone as your “partner” sounds as if you are deliberately obscuring their gender and may subtly out you. “My ex”, however, is entirely unobtrusively gender-neutral. #breakupallrelationships
