Not tired as “I’m not bothering anymore”, tired as “if you want to drag me to hell, I’ll make sure to set you on fire first”.
We aren’t angry enough.
We aren’t angry enough.
WE. AREN’T. ANGRY. ENOUGH.
Took a philosophy class that covered assisted dying. One guy wanted to die because he couldn't afford his disability equipment so his life was shit and he had no independence. Apparently "why don't they just give him the equipment instead of killing him" was the wrong answer?????
IF YOU THINK PEOPLE WITH ADHD SMOKE WEED JUST TO “GET HIGH” - YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BRAIN THAT NEVER SHUTS THE FUCK UP, HAS 147 DIFFERENT TABS OPEN, 3 SONGS PLAYING SIMULTANEOUSLY, CREATING 4 NEW BUSINESS IDEAS BEFORE NOON, AND STILL SOMEHOW FORGETTING WHY WE WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN.
SOME OF US AREN”T TRYING TO “GET HIGH” - WE’RE SIMPLY TRYING TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.
Gender Critical group "Lesbian Greens" (not affiliated) are now furious that Hampsted Heath's Bathing Ponds will be getting private cubicals.
They describe women having no choice but to change with them as "the sisterhood we enjoy when we all go for a swim together".
Creeps.
I looked this up and it’s being done for courts to recognise assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and same-sex couples during disputes
So the backlash is another example of how transphobia gets used to justify pushing more restrictive & conservative values across the board
Primer baile del Orgullo LGTBIQ+ en el Ayuntamiento de Nueva York, rindiendo un homenaje a la cultura ballroom y al voguing. Viva el Alcalde @NYCMayor y la madre que lo pariö 🌈🏳️⚧️🎶
It's for the below reason that I'll always vocally support trans rights. In my lifetime I've gained many rights gay men never had when I was growing up. I'm privileged & comfortable. I'll be damned if I turn away from my trans & non-binary siblings now my life is easy. Fuck that.
Was a queer teen under Section 28. I am not going back again, and i refuse to accept a world where a whole new generation of queer & trans kids go through what i did at their age.
We are not fucking doing this again.
A queer teenager in Cambridge was invited to speak about her experiences at the city’s Pride flag raising ceremony. When she began to detail the harm caused by homophobia and transphobia on city council, the mayor took her mic away and said she wouldn’t stand for such disrespect
@x91742@Cendius24@royermattw So like, setting aside there’s more world with LGBT+ history than the US, IF these two were bad, then what? There’s bad queer people. What does that affect me being queer today, like what lie I’m even supposedly believing?
I fear my therapist may have found a way to hack my ADHD procrastination, she suggested scheduling a block of time daily in my calendar as 'Overthinking time.' 5-10 minutes where I can get all the anxious fatalistic thoughts out. And now I've scheduled it... I don't want to do it and keep putting it off in favour of doing other things. I'm now avoiding my overthinking by doing productive tasks fuuuuuck
Today I learned a term called “Premature Competence”: When a child is forced to become self sufficient too early because no adult is reliably meeting their needs, they develop a false maturity. In adulthood, they appear highly capable but struggle to ask for help because they never learned it was safe to need anyone.
@KorgTheBronan im a detrans woman and ppl have threatened to beat the fuck outta me out of transmisogyny, and terfs, who love to claim they care about detrans ppl, are just like "boohoo" or jump straight to denial when i say i dont love being harassed by their ilk
A woman forced the toilet door open on me like three months ago in front of an open main door and a huge line when I had my pants down to tell me men aren't allowed in the women's bathroom. It actually wasnt fine at all!
@Netty_Betty3@BadWritingTakes I guess then it’s good there’s campaigning to change that. It seems like a very unsafe and unhealthy system, based on what I know from teachers and my own experience. At least half and half was a compromise, but it seems some don’t want to compromise at all, so…
@Netty_Betty3@BadWritingTakes You’re weird like that, yeah. But oh well, as I said there should be some for those who need it. Maybe half and half if you’re really keen on segregation there? Of course, if possible, priority should be eliminating communal spaces and make safe open areas.
