you know ;)

Soapmaking books are so funny. "100% Pure and Wholesome Natural ingredients!" you mean lye? "Make beautiful soaps from herbs, essential oils and natural botanicals!" and lye. "Soothing recipes that won't irritate your skin!" okay listen I understand that some people really do have sensitivities and also that if you do things properly nothing harmful is left once the soap has cured but again. Can we acknowledge that one of the main ingredients. Is lye.

head in my hands. this post is about the hypocrisy of Wellness Speak. I know how soap works.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

I have a friend who identified as trans for a bit but doesn’t anymore. Verified cisgender. Gave it a good shot. Good for her. Stellar ally. Her dad being a dick about it still damaged their relationship. It doesn’t matter that the identity didn’t last. The memory of how he reacted does.

ive been procrastinating so im going to start posting keeping track of my progress on next video. it's currently 47% done.
