*Parents, getting visibly uncomfortable*

*boychildren, continuing to refer to the animal as a he despite my continued emphasized use of she pronoun*

*trans/gendie coworker, getting emotional as he realizes he is just as bad as the rest of the men in calling every animal a he*

*senior staff, annoyed at me for being better at our job than him*

*supervisor, watching me carefully to make sure I am not "rocking the boat" *

*girlchildren, excitedly asking me more questions*: how can you tell she is a girl? Does it taste good when she eats [food]? Is she strong? Does she live in [habitat]? I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up and study only girl animals! Is she a mom? Can I pet her? Does she sleep? Does she dream?

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy
