♡Wow! Boys!♡

i know this is like a hot take™ but you gotta respect people who think q*eer is a slur. you’ve genuinely got to respect that and understand that some people dont want to be associated w/ the word.

y’all need to understand there are kids in the middle of south fucking carolina or something who get called q*eer, and f*g and tr*nny all day long. hell, even gay is an insult sometimes.

now here’s the kicker: you can id as whatever you like. if you id as q*eer, cool i respect that and you have a right to id as whatever makes you feel true and genuine. i won’t ever tell you what to id as.

but y’all. people have a right to not feel comfortable with the word q*eer and other variants. people go through actual trauma with those words. people genuinely get triggered by those words.

Hey, you! Are you struggling with disability, mental illness, or just need some self-care? Are you tired of seeing posts recommending expensive products or days at the spa that you can’t afford? Well strap on in pals, here are some ways to practice self-care that won’t hurt your wallet.

Go for a walk. 

Take a hot bath or shower. 

Explore in the nearest pretty area to you: a cool area of a city, a stream by your house, a forest nearby, anything you find interesting. Take photos of the things that catch your eye. 

Watch a movie or TV show you enjoy. 

Read a book: find a free version online or check one out from your local library.

Go to a nearby dog park and look at/pet cute dogs. 

Take a nap. 

Clean your room/house/apartment. 

Eat some candy. 

Lush on a budget! You can make your own bath bomb and face masks, or purchase face masks and scrubs for cheap at your local Grocery Outlet/Aldi’s/Walmart/Winco/other cheap/bulk grocery store. 

Hang out with friends.

Draw, sketch, or paint. 

Listen to music— maybe have your own dance party! 

Meditate. 

Cook a recipe! Some things you can make on the cheap: 

Step up your ramen! Add chopped veggies, meat, or whatever you have in your fridge in with your Top Ramen. Take some of the free hot sauce from a local taco chain and add it to your ramen for a spicy kick!

Rice and beans, rice and beans! You can’t go wrong with rice and beans. Experiment with seasonings to make it to your liking, or buy some cheap tortillas to make some burritos!

You can get Rice-A-Roni for less than a couple of bucks! Buy chicken in bulk and freeze part of it, then add chicken to the rice to make a filling meal!

Sandwiches! If you have bread, some kind of protein, some veggies, or anything edible you can put between two slices of bread, eat that! Slice your bread up fancily or toast it to add some flair.

Watch some youtube videos. 

Do yoga.
