a reminder that its not every addicts goal to be 100% sober and that living with addiction can also look like reaching a manageable level of useage - also relapses happen and going "cold turkey" can cause reactionary relapses! anyways support all addicts, not just "clean" ones
@gay_goths
cis nonsense and all, but why did she ask about yr genitals? like sorry unless this is a below the waist emergency, there's no need for the nurse to knoe
@born2bdrama
omgg it's either nothing or chubby chasers who can't understand that being fat effects your life a lot and just see you as a fetish, not a person with a complex relationship with their body
@szascoloredwig
denying a mans advances while fat while almost always result in their insecurity about their attraction to and rejection by fat women
the amount of men who have called me an "ugly f*t b*tch" after denying then js too many
@SpookySable
@ScattrBrainJane
I'm in a queercore band and one of our lines is "I refuse to dig my own grave for you to bury me under the wrong name" and I just resonate a lot with that refusal to let the cis win that's keeping me here sometimes
@latkedelrey
NTs getting mad when I info dump
NTs getting mad when I relate with my own story
NTs getting mad when I just listen and don't respond, bc then it's the silent treatment

@lesbianoir
@mygenderisblack
soooooo many people I know are constantly saying "I can't bc my parents..." like?? ok I didn't know you had a curfew and bedtime too
@audreycyst
its amazing how many ppl are more comfortable making incremental changes than drastic ones that dont provide adequate time to build healthier coping mechanisms 🙃
@fillegrossiere
this but actually! there's been some writing about indigenous groups that refuse to learn to read/write or learn the colonizer language and its helped them resist occupation! (im gonna see if i can find a link)
@HeheWaitWhut
1. he keeps licking his fingers and i feel like its on purpose to show he's not afraid of germs
2. this guy killed a teenager drunk driving, so ofc he doesnt give a shit about killing others with covid
@alfbridgessmith
@OilyEyelids
right!! learning new things as an adult has really changed my perspective on schooling bc there is literally no way to "fail" at learning if you have teachers willing to work with how you learn
@SkulkHogan
@rivbutcher
pls dont lump covid deniers in with ppl with mental illness
i am not them and do not want to be associated, hatred and disregard for public safety is not a mental illness
@samdylanfinch
in the peaks of my ED (which worked with my chronic illnesses to almost kill me) people would congratulate and ask me my secret and tell me to keep up the good work
to the extent that I *sobbed* when they told me I would regain the weight in the hospital
@badinfinity2
my fave is when cis ppl just start talking about how trans ppl face violence and discrimination???
like yeah I'm aware... I was trying to use the copier
@boneysoups
not to mention they are usually filled with trash, and treated like a drop off location for books locals don't want, instead of a curated, protected collection of diverse books like, oh say, an actual library
@latkedelrey
God I feel like an asshole everytime but 4real I will mention a decade of experience and a man will be like "yeah but I'm just spit balling"
yeah and you have no idea what you're talking about!!
@threelettercat
@albertvancouver
@gfish
and! they date back to ancient rome!
for a country that wants to simp for grecoroman classicism, they could have kept the public drinking fountains and city planning
@gothcowboybf
as a nonbinary lesbian
it makes me chuckle like, tervs really have smeared our reputation, but I don't know a single cis lesbian, like what's more trans than being a lesbian
@NONBlNARY
omfg my gf was the gay barista at my go to shop when we first met and we spent TWO YEARS doing the dance of "I don't want to hit on a service worker, that's rude" and "this customer is just being nice and talking to me bc they don't want to go back to work"
@herosnvrdie69
also um, employers love to forget that 650k workers, mostly low income workers, are dead .... thats gonna have an effect on the work pool
@govt_hates_you
@EmmsyEmma
you know that actually happens to intersex kids everyday
why don't you focus on the kids conservatives are *currently* performing genital surgery on, instead of the trans kids who can't get surgery
@grassfay
this! I'm so determined about children's autonomy and rights bc of how mine were taken from me. Kids truly have so little power in our society and are treated like a menace.
@fairieboy1

diane choosing not to stay friends with bojack might be my favorite thing she does on the show bc that GROWTH!

lol the band was called Dad! and the album has been in mixing hell since pre-Covid, but if it's ever finished, you bet I'll post it once a week
@minifridgeLQ
@gothtaro
he/him and they/them lesbians have always been part of our community. remember pronouns =/= gender and are just an *aspect* of someone's gender expression.
@gatorbol
@bonuslesbian
@paintedpaw
she's wearing a flannel and has long "unkempt" hair, but she's wearing winged eyeliner and a pushup bra, so u can sexualize her
I don't date men anymore, but actually, it sucks when u find out the person you are dating sees you as a woman. And maybe we shouldn't make fun of people for experiencing transphobia?
@samdylanfinch
I've been in recovery for 6 ish years w. plenty of relapse, and people don't realize it's an every day battle, we continue to face, even after we are no longer dying
@tronsgender
honestly, appreciate OPs "not my business" attitude
also I cannot imagine looking up the army uniform code to narc on someone's cage, and then being wrong
@MCSmoothgiggles
@CreightonOTE
@kendrawcandraw
They refused to let journalists take their equipment so they could continue to cover the news. And then blew up all of their equipment.
It's a pretty clear attack on the press.
@audreycyst
i also think its also a lot of stigma, where an addict is a thing you DO NOT want to be, as opposed to just another mental illness that you might live with chronically
@TailTangle
@MAGICALGAYMERS
also super victim blaming bc victims can have a lot confusing feelings after, also you can 100% be assaulted by someone you are attracted to??? so many bad lessons wrapped up in it
@LeftAtLondon
I've always liked casual conversation that leads to some future plan, even just "let's get lunch tomorrow"
it's less explicit "reason to live" and more, hey I'll see you tomorrow, right? we have plans
@xxRoxasXIIIxx
@sarahlugor
right like, yeah i need help, i know that, are you gonna feed my cats so i can do to inpatient and then help me pay the bill??
@Bigpikachu1
@DJWeedPizza
@edburmila
@bodegamodelo
@isaiah_bb
hes dead but
1.others are still making money off him
2. his victims may still be alive (idk tbh) and still have to encounter him as a *beloved* figure
3. other survivors see a rapist being celebrated
dead or not, it still contributes to culture
@socialistdogmom
also like, yes diversity of tactics, but its super insulting when the ppl theyre attacking get less support than their ("former") oppressors
@DoctorPissPants
there are SO many suiting companies founded by trans ppl for trans ppl, they had to actively not give a shit about finding Elliot a suit that fit
@_deadnumbat_
@neosorbista
i took 2 yrs of full sobriety to feel comfortable having a single drink and it feels a lot healthier to be able to engage safely and learn better habits, than just fully denying and only thinking of drinking in extremes
@obviouslybee
@Lexi_Caly
ugh i saw that tweet yesterday and they just infuriate me bc like, no i dont remember that, i remember fighting with my landlord about whether or not he could evict me
@jelenawoehr
@silasandbean
@alexhaagaard
we have ONE in our state and its more of temp housing funds instead of a proper shelter
also a lot of places are run by salvation army 🤢 who will just str8 up tell gay ppl they cant experience DV and kick them out - this sheltered covered the largest metro area in my state
@gendereveal
@rovrs1993
i used to have a job that did pronouns circles and the cis ppl that would stumble and say "any pronouns" sure did get offended when i used a diff binary pronoun than they were used to
@miomonix_
@kayyy_gg
@literallysofie
its for sure a nuanced issue, i went to a high school where more students took the asvab than the SAT and we constantly had military recruiters in the lunchroom
but if anything, this should infuriate us and show us more how the military is abusive and manipulative
@sheetgrass
@_virgogre
really like, they use "manifesto" bc its a more politically aggressive term, which like ... yes i am a lesbian commie, but that's not what the master doc is!! it's not scary or trying to convert anyone!! its literally just lesbian experience
@hologramvin
ppl dont want butches, they want that weird 2010s fuckboy lesbian that became the popular representation for butch??? (obvi its ok if thats ur style, but its just one type of masc lesbian, and also is sometimes white lesbians calling themselves studs???)
@rosecoloredeboy
me talking to admin: "im disabled, i need accommodations"
50+ yr old admin: "aw dont say that! you're young and healthy!"
.... im literally not tho...
@rekavezra
or that decentering men doesn't inherently make you a target bc cis het men tend to get *really upset* when they aren't the center of attention
@hesbianbigby
@mygenderisblack
plenty of racists are nice to kids bc that's what we're conditioned to do
and then go back to being virulent racists once the child is gone, and if there is more than one child, the non-white child is definitely getting treated worse (even if it's minute)
@butchanarchy
I have to remember this when I think about how my father is a vet who was poisoned by the military but still Supports the Troops and was a steel worker, injured on the job in the right to work state, and is still anti union???
violence doesn't radicalize, understanding it does
