#trees types

hello tumblr. would you like a strong and emotionally unavailable elf sword sapphic who is secretly a huge sweetheart

trouble finishing chores/housework that you can usually stay on top of

activities that are usually part of your daily routine (e.x. cooking yourself dinner) feel stressful and overwhelming

absolutely no desire to create or engage with your hobbies (except possibly one easy/“safe” one that takes little to no mental energy)

waking up tired even though you swear you got 7-8 hours of sleep

TAKE A DAY OFF OF WORK/SCHOOL because you very likely need a mental health/rest day!

lie and say you’re sick if you need to, and don’t feel guilty about it. taking one day off to recuperate is better than burning out

I stumbled across an artist on Twitter and was scrolling through their page and noticed they post art memes of “tomboy phenotypes”

some of these “tomboy phenotypes” quite literally boiled down to “woman who plays video games” or “woman who wears hoodies and forgets to shower sometimes” and it struck me as so odd.

a woman can play video games and wear hoodies and forget to shower sometimes and still be super feminine? if she wants to be? those things don’t necessarily make someone a tomboy?

the line of logic that playing video games and sometimes faltering on your hygiene are “masculine” enough to classify someone as a tomboy is kind of stupid and also begs the question — if you consider a woman a tomboy if she does something so innocuous and common as playing video games, then what are feminine qualities? would you therefore only grant the title of “feminine woman” to like, I don’t know, a barefoot tradwife whose only hobbies are cooking and baking?

it just kind of seems like a slippery slope, and very similar semantically to how people try to rob trans woman and woman of color of their femininity for what are otherwise nothingburger traits like “was angry once” or “has a deep voice”
