I keep bouncing back and forth between "I can do this! I can relearn to live my life! I will be okay!" and, like, sobbing uncontrollably
your friends think about you, y'know? they smile and think about goofy shit you've said. they pray for you. they smell your perfume in a shop and think of you fondly. they tell anecdotes involving you to strangers and friends. they remember the way you hug or bite or high five and want to repeat it with you. they love you. i promise.
go! through! every! rack! i mean it! flip through every piece of clothing one by one. 90% of the time people complain about not finding anything is because theyre just skimming the racks
went through every rack? great, now go do it again!!! its so easy to miss things, and ive found some of my favorite pieces by doing a second sweep. this especially applies to sections that youve found good pieces in
sizes are a construct!! i've found things that are xs and things that are xl and theyve both fit perfectly. look at all sizing sections and dont be afraid to try things on, the worst that can happen is that it doesnt fit. (remember- clothes are meant to fit you, not you fitting your clothes♡)
that being said, seriously, try! things! on! i know it sucks and ive always hated it but its worth it to avoid buying things that end up not fitting or not looking how you imagined
be careful buying things with the intent to alter them, even if its as simple as shortening/hemming. (will you really get around to doing it?)
go through everything youve grabbed At Least Once before you check out. i usually do twice. genuinely ask yourself if youre going to wear it, and make sure that youre not spending money on things that will sit around and/or end up donated again
thrift stores can be gross. please wash your clothes and wash your hands when youre done
resellers suck. i know.
finding designer/name brands while thrifting is fun!! obsessively combing through every store in your area just for name brands is not
reminder that thrifting isnt just something thats "quirky" or fun to do. with the cost of living being insanely high, lots of people (like me) are getting the majority of their clothes secondhand because we cant afford the crazy prices elsewhere. being broke and wanting to look cool are not mutually exclusive
anarchy :)
Fellas it’s that time of day again
me: coughing my lungs out bc im sick
also me: ah yes lets Hotbox My Room With Incense thats definitely a good choice to make
“Imagine having a child that refuses to hug you or even look you in the eyes”
Imagine being shamed, as a child, for not showing affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being forced, as a child, to show affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being told, as a child, that your ways of expressing affection weren’t good enough. Imagine being taught, as a child, to associate physical affection with pain and coercion.
being a lesbian is so dumb. this girl once sent me a photo of a rat she found in a dumpster and i imagined kissing her in a botanical garden
sorry i completely shut down hearing fireworks lol do you still think im sexy
not to get all sad for no reason but something nobody tells you about growing up is that a part of you is just a little girl who is yelling ‘please like me please love me please tell me i am good’ at everyone you meet and most of your day is just trying to ignore her

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it
Person who wants to do stuff trapped in a body that needs to lie down
I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm
if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"
I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix
(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)
this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.
in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.
but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.
one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.
and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.
my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.
yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
I love laying on the floor :) who else loves laying on the floor? I love laying on the floor :)
*Mutual reblogs something you posted*
Me: They still like me. Thank God.
sent my partner the playlist i made and they go "this is just lesbianism"
you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.
I know some people are confused about the music this season but idk I think getting fingered in a cab on the way home from a night out to a Pitbull song is relatable in any era
penelope is a better woman than me, i would’ve lied and said i got engaged just to see if colin would cry
