Um. Um, guys? I.... I hate to be the one to tell you this, but.... that's gaslighting. Straight of gaslighting. Like, Mother Gothel in Tangled, gaslighting.
hot take: moms need to learn how to listen to and comfort their daughters without making everything about their own traumas
Hey I'm happy that Twilight is coming back but I can never get over the fact that Stephanie Meyer thought it was a good idea to write in that the werewolves have to cut their hair or else their fur would be long & shaggy to maintain.
As if most Native Americans literally don't cut our hair for spiritual reason. We literally believe it's an extension of our spirit. Its painful to cut, it's the evaqulant to cutting out your soul.
That's why we literally only do it when someone dies. Because its to show your mourning. Only to show your love and how much pain you're in.
Not all tribes do this but enough do. I literally went 3 years without cutting my hair once. Some have gone decades.
But naw turn to doggy cut hair regularly. The first set of Native actors they had literally got recasted because they refused to cut their hair. What did you THINK was gonna happen Meyer?
Notice how Booboo Stewart has always had long hair since his Twilight days?
Yeah so like I was gone from Tumblr for awhile and now I find there's a whole goddamn community of exclusionists on here who are loud and proud about that, and I mean like, free speech and all that shit but to anyone else, just know that if you've stumbled on this blog somehow then you're a lovely human being and I support you
since so many people are coming out as exclusionists, lemme just let yall know, my blog is a safe space for all genders and sexualities. asexuality is part of the lgbtq+ community and pansexuality is super fucking valid. we dont support exclusionists here.
one thing i’ve had to get through my head after hanging out with a bunch of lgbtq+ people in my area, both online and irl, is that not all lgbtq+ people are cool, glamorous, tumblr-queer. they don’t all have great wisdom to offer. they’re not all going to have exciting bonding experiences with you.
some of them are boring, some of them are annoying, some of them are dumb. some of them are conceited, some of them are reckless, some of them are cowardly. some of them have deeply regressive ideas and views. some of them have serious undealt with emotional issues. some of them are assholes! and that’s okay! you don’t have to be friends with all queer people you meet! you should obviously still respect their identities, support them, and defend their rights as far as gender and sexuality go, and you may still relate to each other in some aspects, but that support and sense of family often won’t extend into any other areas of life.
and that’s okay, because all it means is that lgbtq+ people are simply people. the community is not some special breed - it’s tied together with a thin string of “not straight or cis”, and aside from that, it’s a very diverse community of completely normal people, all unique and different from each other, some great, some not that much, some just not meant to get along. nobody’s personality is defined by their sexuality or gender identity, including yours. it shouldn’t define your relationships, either.
i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic
Good to fucking know, ig. Jfc. Wtf is wrong with some people?? How hard is it to understand that mysogny and misandry go hand-in-hand, that trans women are in fact women, and are affected by moth mysogny and misandry? Fuckin hell. It's not the goddamn vagina itself that determines whether someone can be sexist against you or not.
I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.
