alright listen
just because you dont break skin or use a razor doesnt mean it cant be self harm
just because they never hit you doesnt mean it cant be an abusive relationship
just because you can communicate in some circles doesnt mean you cant have anxiety or socializing issues
just because you have a good day doesnt mean you cant have depression
Do not let your perception of how your struggle should be silence you. Your problems are real and they deserve attention.

if you had to drop out of a class you are not a failure
if you had to take time off school you are not a failure
if you had to leave school for good you are not a failure
your worth is not determined by academia and this goes doubly so for disabled people and others for whom school is set against them
when the asexual community plays respectability politics and says things to make themselves more ‘appropriate’ to straight people, they need to realise they’re hurting other asexuals.
i am a CSA survivor, i’m sex-repulsed, i have a medical condition preventing me from having (some kinds of) sex. i am autistic, and aromantic.
i am almost everything that you say you’re not when you’re trying to explain to straight people why you’re ‘totally normal lmao’.
so please stop throwing other aces under the bus so you can make yourself seem appropriate to allosexuals.
stop making me and others seem like the ~weird aces~ or the ~broken aces~
(~rusty)
ok so the term the war on women is super cissexist. Please don’t use it.
A very good way of going about explaining this issue. It’s good to see something positive come from Tumblr.
REBLOG THE SHIT OUT OF THIS.
And the reblog button was hit so quickly that it actually was reblogged BEFORE it was clicked
Will always reblog this.
I just like being girly. But what I like more, is having people noticing without minding. Just the fact that they’re aware of what I am and want to be without seeing anything but god old little me makes me happy, and most importantly, comfortable.
I have incorrectly been saying ‘burqa’ when I meant ‘niqab’ for maybe my whole life.
reblogging for informational purposes. i will come collect you if you reblog from me in a way that disrespects any of my sisters.
educating yourself on other cultures is v important
do it
People condemn Islam for being a terrorist group but like radical Islam is such a small percentage of Muslims while Christians have literally done so much shit that the church has either told them to do, supported or allowed. The slave trade, crusades, antisemitism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and so much more shit has been condoned by Christian leadership. I’m not saying we should bash Christianity but we shouldn’t have this double standard that perpetuates Islamophobia.
JUST BECAUSE THE WORLD DOESN’T “CARE” ABOUT SOMEONES BELEIF OR SEXUALITY OR GENDER OR ANYTHING DOESN’T MEAN IT DOESN’T MATTER.
tv psychiatrist: I met you 20 seconds ago, but I can tell your entire past from this and I know all of your emotional weaknesses and how to fix them
psychiatrist according to anti self diagnosers: I will use my years of training to get to know you very well and discern weather you have this mental illness or disability. I know everything about the human brain and all mental illnesses and disabilities are completely understood by everyone in this profession. science is amazing.
real psychiatrist: so I printed out this list of symptoms. which ones do you think apply to you? yeah um many names for mental illnesses and disabilities actually just come from groups of symptoms that are often seen together and while we sometimes know the cause, sometimes we have no idea. your input is just as important if not more than mine.
Pet your turtles, they enjoy snugglies more than pain
I feel like this is especially appropriate for cars and turtles in the road.And don’t drill holes in them or paint em. Its painful and toxic and you’ll make the poor things cry!
Our turtles love having their heads and chins scratched. And a light pat on their shells. No hits, or thumps. They love good pets, please pet them with love.
Shells are LITERALLY their backbone, imagine if someone thumped you hard on the spine. It would suck right? Don’t do it.
Also their shells are covered in a VERY thin layer of fingernail-like material called scutes. When you paint it, a) it’s very easy for the toxins in the paint to absorb into the turtle’s system and poison them, b) it cuts off circulation to the thin layer of living skin below the scutes, c) it deforms the shell because turtles, especially young turtles, grow rapidly and the paint will inhibit proper shell growth and d) prevents the turtle from absorbing necessary vitamin D from UV rays (you know, that stuff they need to live). NEVER EVER PAINT A TURTLE EVER.
Next time you want to knock on a turtle/tortoise shell, go ask your neighbor to punch you in the ribs, and see how that feels. Not only is it the spine, but their lungs sit near the top of the curve as well—THIS IS WHY TURTLES/TORTOISES CAN DIE IF LEFT FLIPPED OVER TOO LONG, IT IS VERY DISTRESSING FOR THEIR BODIES.
be gentle with living beings you are responsible for.
