Does anyone else not like using the * at the end...
I mean, to me, trans is trans is trans. It’s pretty much already an umbrella term for folks that aren’t cis, right? The little star feels a tad redundant to me.
Anyway, this is how ive been feeling lately.

My mother just called me into her bedroom to ask my opinion on something disgusting to do with my dad’s rancid feet. WHY DO I NEED TO SEE THAT?
Anonymous asked: Hi. I just found your blog and I really like you, and I think it's really neat we have stuff in common. I think it's beautiful how open you are, and it's also very reassuring and helpful for me. I like how you changed your name out of respect; I think that's absolutely amazing. I am amazed that we are the same age, yet you seem so much more mature and together than I am, and...

I just read through all of the links/posts at the top of your page, and I just wanted to drop by to say that it makes me smile to see someone so positive. Many people would allow themselves to fall into major negativity about some of the things you've been through/dealt with/deal with, but reading everything you...
powerofthesun asked: Your post on mentally ill/ableism triggers truly opened my eyes to some language use I may have otherwise disregarded. Thank you. also, you may not want to check out my blog bc I post some of your triggers. (i always check the blogs of people who talk to me here, so just a friendly heads up :) )

Well folks, as suggested, I’m asking for donations to help with my yet again homelessness situation. Hopefully more temporary than past ones.
In order to preserve my identity’s secrecy and privacy, RMJ (who is a trusted and close friend) will be taking donations for me and then funneling them to my own personal paypal

She spent ages asking me and my dad why saying ‘the pakistani girl who works in the minimart’ wasn’t racist but ‘that paki girl working in the paki shop’ was. Then she kept saying ‘nignog?

Is it creepy for me to think that this is adorable? …because I think this is adorable… (People being really excited about things is usually adorable to me though?)
It’s not creepy :P I got uber excited about seeing Jupiter. Ima have to go somewhere darker to appreciate this app in full soon.

lavender-labia:

A lot of people on here seem to think it’s their right to judge what is and isn’t a valid trigger. Bloggers are being accused of trivializing what a trigger is by putting TWs for things that others think cannot possibly be triggers. “Triggers aren’t just things that piss you off.” “You’re trigger warning for everything.” Why is that your instant reaction? Does it...

I CANNOT TURN THIS ALBUM OFF! I’m basically listening to my Foster the People album on a loop. I only stop the loop when I want to listen to Pumped Up Kicks repeatedly.
Well, that’s all music choices for the next week/month pretty much planned.

[tw: ableism] Ableism in the Tumblr SJ community.
You know what sucks? The fact that most of the big name SJ bloggers on here can basically be as ableist as the like as long as they don’t start saying they tip people in wheelchairs over and nobody seems to give a shite. Especially if it’s mental health stuff. We’ve got popular bloggers denouncing everyone who uses a trigger warning for anything other than PTSD from quite...

garlic does it to me. idk if it’s an autism thing, it probably is, but the taste stays in my mouth for at least a day and it freaks me the hell out.
I get weird with garlic because it makes my hands smell forever. I have disposable gloves for cooking now.

Just in response to this idea that triggers can only be for PTSD reasons and can only make you react in certain ways to be considered valid:
Things that trigger me:
Mentions of hard drugs
Trans-bigotry
Graphic violence photos
Menstruation
Pregnancy
Lactation
Surgery pictures
Self harm pics

Anti-autism bigotry
Misgendering, especially deliberate
