This Makes Me Sad.

This makes me sad.

You guys never deserved this, and you still fucking don't. The fact that you still deal with this is just so goddamn upsetting.

And I know I am feminine to the core (and also a woman), but even I fucking know that this shit shouldn't be considered "the norm."

The fact that parents (as well as doctors in certain circumstances) still force their kids into "being" their AGAB regardless on who they are as people is fucking awful. And I strongly hate how this is how it is, currently.

I know it can get better, but it sure doesn't fucking look like it, at the moment. Change is probably just be taking its sweet-ass time, which is goddamn infuriating (what can I say? I'm impatient as fuck).

Why is it so fucking hard for us as a society to just fucking accept each other for our differences like we've seen in every other goddamn species on the fucking planet? It shouldn't be that hard.

If the person isn't fucking hurting anyone (or doesn't have a history of doing so), we should just fucking accept them and move on. No prejudice or anything to get in the way.

Trans men and transmascs aren't gonna be a goddamn danger to anyone for just being trans or men. The fact that other women don't accept that pisses me off.

And the fact that I share a gender identity with morons that, frankly, might be the ones putting you guys in danger and not vice versa pisses me off sometimes, ngl.

Like, I love being a woman, don't get me wrong. It's just some of these fucking idiots who I SHARE MY GENDER IDENTITY WITH are putting you guys in danger, and I hate that so goddamn much.

This fact always makes me so fucking upset. People always talk about the struggles of trans women/fems—which does happen and needs to fucking change because it fucking sucks—yet always want to ignore the struggles of trans men/mascs or pretend it doesn't happen, and that any trans men/masc who speaks out about their experiences is a liar and misogynist which isn't fucking true at all.

Like you should be able to speak out about the bullshit you face and not get backlash 'cause it is bullshit that you've dealt with it, and you have a voice that deserves to be fucking heard.

The moment we as a society can finally get on that page I hope I am alive so I can fucking see it. This shit is taking too goddamn long.

Being forcefully raised as a woman is not any less traumatic and emotionally repressive as being forcefully raised as a man. Femininity is not inherently pure and safe. Coercing someone to perform femininity is not any less toxic than coerced masculinity. Being dysphoric around femininity or having trauma from women doesn’t make you a misogynist.

This is verrrrry goddamn easy, guys.

If it isn't hurting anyone, don't bother.

I slightly struggle with this as well, but it's only with things that initiate the gag reflex or cause me to have a headache (the examples mentioned do not cause either).

And things that do this include, but not limited to:

Cat gack (which is worse than our vomit despite it basically being the same thing)

Food cooked in the microwave that has to be cooked in the oven or says it's microwaveable but really isn't

Talking about inner organs (ours and other species)

The nervous system (ours and other species)

Specific bones (but skeletons—and more recognizable bones minus baby animal & human toddler skulls—as a whole are fine)

Medical terms I recognize in regards to the above shit.

But people's harmless decisions don't bother me whatsoever, and neither should it bother you, regardless of who you are as a person.

As an adult you must cultivate the skill of “Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.”

Is it weird that I like the cottagecore fashion aesthetic (cause quite a bit of it is pastels, which I love), but also wholeheartedly believe this is better living than how the vast majority of the US works right now?

Like I'm over here like YES!

But please let me keep the pastelie clothes.

Cottage Core is Out, Reasonably sized apartment near a community garden and local stores -core is in!

I have come to make an announcement...

The "new arrival" bullshit sucks. Like, I can't effectively block goddamn porn blogs if they're marked as "new arrivals" in my goddamn tags.

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna remember every single porn tag on Tumblr to date, just to block a single porn blog (that specifically uses the not-so-recognizable tags; bots rarely use them but can 'cause they're fucking bots).

The worst part? I have "access" to the block button and it hides the blog from view, but the moment I click off the tag and back in, the same fucking post on that same blog I could've sworn I literally just blocked a few seconds ago was right there!

Tumblr needs to get rid of this "new arrival" bullshit, hands down. If I can't link my goddamn shiny-ass brand new sideblogs from the get-go, yet "new arrival" blogs can't be blocked for being shiny-ass brand new (even if it's a bot account!), then I know that the "new arrivals" thing is bullshit and a useless fucking feature.

artist in denial of being depressed: omg this 2 month long art block has been crazy... sorry i haven't updated any of my fics in a long while! it's just been super difficult to daydream! so weird that i've lost a little bit of passion for my current comfort character and ocs... this couldn't possibly have any implications or alternative explanations

What’s going to make you happy right now? Is it some cake? Is it a nap? Is it calling your mom? Is it going on a drive and blasting music? Is it taking a bath? Is it reading a book?

Check in with yourself because you deserve that happiness, whatever it is.
