A galaxy I love it
reblogging this again actually because more galaxy
hm. i think every time i feel an impulse to people please, to be unproblematic and likable and charming and feel the safety that comes with universal adoration, i need to remind myself that i want to be loved like a person, not like a dog.
someone tell the tumblerinas that you can raise an issue without deliberately guilt-tripping everyone about it
okay, I take it back. I don’t think everyone is doing this deliberately. some of it is so deeply entrenched in tumblr culture that you probably don’t always notice you’re doing it
“nobody’s talking about this” -> you can just delete this phrase
“if you can’t reblog this, unfollow me” -> you can also delete this one
“x group can, and should, reblog this” -> remove the “should”. or you know. delete the entire sentence
your post will still spread all the important information without the guilt-tripping parts, I promise
if an otherwise valid post tries to guilt trip me it’s a pass on the rb, sry.
sometimes I wonder how we all survive and then I look at my best friends and I go “oh, I survive because I don’t want to leave you yet” and it makes sense. life is so hard a lot of the time, but I want one more bowl of pasta with you.
My respect goes go all the people who have started a new language recently and can't understand literally anything.
My respect goes go all the people who have been learning a language for years now but struggle with understanding and/or saying anything more complicated than the most banal phrases.
My respect goes go all the people who are rediscovering a language they've studied once and feel like they'll never be able to go back to where they have been.
My respect goes go all the people who feel like they're going backwards. To those who think they've spent years doing things wrong. To those who think they're not progressing and don't know how to start to. To those who think they're alone. To those who think they are the worst in their class. To those who had to stop learning for whatever reason. To those who wish they did because they're not good enough.
You're all doing great.
also its telling to me that pretty much every single time a transmasc ends up dead, from murder or suicide, they are misgendered/deadnamed at some point. often by their family or the police, and then the news. & obviously this is not exclusive to transmascs by any means but so often the only way we know they are transmasc is because of their social media or their friends speaking out about it. the idea that they might be transmasc isn't even thought of. and that really proves to me how many transmascs throughout time have been labeled women & had their transness erased in death without a second thought. rest in peace to all the brothers & siblings who were robbed of their life twice.
