Unalive - Tumblr Posts

this is really based. and its kinda funny that some of the sites that do this bullshit will then be like

"omg guys I'm such an ally, looky here I changed my logo to a rainbow!!! I love fags 🤪"

I don't dislike self-censorship terms like "unalive" because they're cringy, I dislike them because I don't think advertisers should be able to shape how we talk about certain subjects. Survivors of abuse or other traumatic experiences should not have to make up new words because platforms are scared of chasing away advertisers. Minorities should able able to discuss their experiences with stuff like discrimination without censoring themselves. Queer people should be able to use their preferred terms without a website blocking their posts because a trans person used the word "transgender". we should be able to discuss real world events either ongoing or historical without having to water things down for advertisers. These new words have left the internet and become things people use in real life, and I din't think advertising companies should have the power to dictate our language to us.

Here's a list of better expressions and euphemisms than "unalive", from a romanian person

To drop off the hooks

To give up the soul

To draw the last breath

To give the coin to the priest

To add yourself to the ancestors

To pass to the eternal ones

To move to the Lord

To turn the corner

To enter the ground

To crack

To perish

To leave this world

To cross the Styx

To be pots and pans

To sleep the eternal sleep

To end [yourself]

To quench out of life

To leave the world of the living

To pass into immortality/eternity

To step out with the feet first

To close your eyes

To expire

To blackbird/Blackbirding

To succumb

To take the last road

To fold your eyelids

TW sh, sui

Kinda feel like I should be admitted to grippy sock jail cause of my unalive thoughts and urges but I can't because the US healthcare system sucks and its too fucking expensive!!!

So ig i just gotta sh and secretly hope someone sees despite the fact that I will hide them or else ill get in trouble with my parents but I want help.

Tw: suicide

One of the friends I made while I was in the mental ward killed himself.

He was also a trans dude pre official name change or hrt. He was a few years older than me.

He loved art. He was really good at it. I got to draw into his sketchbook.

I didn't know him well but I did look up to him. I thought that maybe at his age I could also start doing better.

Now he is gone. He is dead. He will never get to have his own art gallery or feel right in his body.

I'll try for him now. And for all the other people that couldn't continue.

I'm glad I got to know him...

Currently crying, be ready for some sad ass poetry.
