Not all hurt people hurt people. Some turn into alchemists, turning pain into purpose.

Asian literature is so good. We have so many countries with so many diverse writing styles and stories to tell.

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

a lot of problems come from not putting people in their place the first time they get on your nerves.

[drew @drewgirlevil]

you unlock an entire world of freedom when you stop doing things that you believe illustrate a “good life” and ask yourself “what would truly bring me joy if i couldn’t tell anyone i did it?”

Some people with mental illnesses can’t get out of bed. Some can. Some can’t keep a job. Some can. Some can’t eat. Some can. Some self harm. Some don’t. Some are suicidal. Some aren’t. Some take medication. Some don’t. Mental illnesses are different for everyone, but still valid.

[sleepy ~°• @amaxaines]

the way the pk govt. regulates sex toys more stringently than they do rapists is absolutely fucking appalling.

If you’re queer and you’re not ace or aro, and you stand in solidarity with us, now is a good time to show it.

[Jamil F. Khan @JamilFarouk]

Boys are not easier to raise, you just neglect them and their social development because you know the world bends over backwards to accommodate, protect and explain the behaviour of the men they will become.

Calling a disabled person “special” or “special needs” is not the compliment you think it is.

i am so sick of the acephobic rhetoric of how we're not queer enough because we don't face 'any real discrimination or abuse' --

i think one of the reasons yoongi is so important to me is that he -- helps me feel connected to writing.

every time i listen to his words, his lyrics, and see how process, i am heard. i am safe. i am reassured.

because it's a reminder: it's oke to hit the snooze button.

“Making everything accessible is too much of a burden.”

Access is not a burden.
Accommodation is not a burden.
Disabled people are not a burden.

Ableism is the burden.

Sometimes it rains. 💜🌱

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Nondisabled people should not be dictating: what constitutes access for disabled people;
what disabled people should wear:
the rights of disabled people;
the quality of life of disabled people.

dear religious parents: forcing your sick, disabled child to fast is not the flex you think it is.

- there are exceptions for illness & disability.
- there is no compulsion in religion.
- the most essential part of fasting is *intent*.

and yet -- ??

[sleepy ~°• @amaxaines]

$275 for a 700-900 word personal essay still feels too cheap, but fuck, i'm desperate.
