When people say "it's ok if you can't brush ur teeth today" the reading comprehension on this site pisses on the poor so let me clarify
It's not "okay" that you can't brush your teeth in that we understand that oral health is important and regularly not brushing has health effects but it *is* the reality sometimes that people cannot make themselves brush their teeth and anyone experiencing that level of physical or brain sickness deserves understanding, kindness, and support.
It's not ok but it is what it is and you know what, it's ok

Mixed people have been getting the short end of the stick for as long as I can remember but y'all have to realize that policing identities and appearances does more harm than good

I've yet to see an example of childhood excellence that didn't come at the cost of the child's wellbeing.

The idea that stopping testosterone (or any HRT) is "detransitioning" kinda contributes to the idea that the only way to be trans or to transition is to seek medical change, don't you think?

Reminder since everyone is joking about how homoromantic the L*sh experience is:
Back in March L*sh fired every person on their retail staff while barely cutting salaries for higher ups. They paid us out a "one time relief payment" of barely anything (mine was less that $200. I usually made $1,300 a month, in a city where rent is at least $700) and encouraged us to apply for unemployment. They tried to spin this as generous and them doing their best.
This company referred to us as family, praised us as what made the L*sh experience magic, and then abandoned us as soon as finances stressed them out. They are not as ethical and kind as they pretend to be. They are a corporation. They are not your friend.

We need to talk about the effect of growing up neurodivergent in a neurotypical society.
Not knowing how to shut off. The exhaustion of feeling like you're acting even when you're alone. Keeping up your facade of normality so long that you don't even recognize yourself or know what your true comfort would look like.
I'm so tired.

All our dads let us hold the flashlight but forgot the part where their dad let them graduate to doing the task while he held the flashlight. And now for some reason our dads are surprised when all we know how to do is hold the flashlight and pass tools? The fuck

I don't make generalizations and hate all men. I hate every single man individually.

There's no commonly-recognized word for "I'm non-binary and attracted exclusively to non-binary people," and that's a fucking shame
Like,
I just want ALL cis people to know they're not even in the running for me. Never were, not a chance. Thanks for coming to my TED talk, if you're cis please leave.

Time to remind y'all again that I am asexual and I literally do not give a fuck what you think is valid or not.

If you were never able to engage with your heritage growing up, no matter the reason, you're still valid.
If you're just beginning to learn about your heritage as an adult, you're still valid.
If you lack a network or ways to immerse yourself in your heritage, you're still valid.
You're not an outsider, you're not faking anything. You belong just as much as anyone else. There's no right or wrong way to be you.
