what's a way to just be competent?

me, stunted 12 year-old whose only representation of trans women had been ace ventura and jokes about shemale prostitutes, "well, i guess when i'm like, 40, and everyone i have any obligation to is dead, i can get a bunch of sex change surgeries and fuck gross men for money. but at least i'll kinda look like a girl."

this feels particularly relevant with the global push to chase minors off social media. none of it is about protecting kids, it's about control. it's about cutting off vulnerable, marginalized, young people whose only opportunity to learn more about their own gender and sexuality--and find other people who are like them--is through social media platforms.

"Forgive me... i could not bear the thought of...losing you."

I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe depression, and I haven't been taking my medication. My life is dark. Some of you may know me from my previous account. I'm Rakhia Ibrahim, and I was blocked from that account where I was a friend for over three years. For more than 40 days, I haven't received any donations, haven't taken my medication, and haven't eaten because of the lack of donations, which are our only source of income. Please help me; I'm crying and I need help.

Ibrahim's account was frustratingly terminated again. Please continue sharing his campaign and donate if you can, he desperately needs our support and Tumblr keeps silencing his voice.

how id survive horror movies:

i do not “SKIP ISSUES”. i do not “IGNORE BAD ARCS”. IF THERE IS A COMIC THEN I READ IT. AND IF I HATE IT THEN I COME BACK WITH A NEW PERSPECTIVE AND HAVE DONE WHAT I MUST

I like in rpgs where if you don’t romance two of the characters they start romancing each other instead. You think you’re the only fish in the sea
