““If You Really Believe That Representation Doesn’t Matter, Then Why The Fuck Are You Threatened

this is just a reminder that your madd is still valid and not inherently less serious or less severe if you only or mostly daydream about happy / cutesy / fluffy / funny scenarios. the content of your daydreams doesn’t have to be intrusive / violent / disturbing for it to be maladaptive.

Sometimes I think about going outside and making some real friends, but then I remember real people are assholes.

Reminder that trans women are women even if you don't think they pass well!

My mom posted this meme on Facebook and it is LEGIT hilarious. I'm so proud.

I feel like it would be useful if people conceived of causing emotional harm to others more through the lens of being the emotional equivalent to stepping on someone’s foot. Like obviously you can step on someone’s foot deliberately and maliciously, but most of the time if someone tells you you stepped on their foot you’re going to go “oh sorry I didn’t realise!” and stop doing it and try not to do it again. Getting caught up in how it makes you feel to be Someone Capable of Stepping on Others’ Feet would be a transparently self indulgent distraction from the other person’s pain, but also like… that’s just a status you hold by virtue of being human. Never ever ever stepping on someone’s foot is not really achievable, and therefore is not necessary to being a Good Person: what matters is that you do not step on others’ feet deliberately, and – most importantly – that you react kindly and calmly to any inadvertent foot-stepping you have been doing being brought to your attention, so that you can make best use of it as something that will help you reduce the amount of foot-stepping you will do in the future.

happy ending au?

So much of what is “cringe” is just… earnest.
