Big Fan Of Situations Where Nobody Gets Hurt 

“I had a room to myself as a kid, but my mother was always quick to point out that it wasn’t my room, it was her room and I was merely permitted to occupy it. Her point, of course, was that my parents had earned everything and I was merely borrowing the space, and while this is technically true I cannot help but marvel at the singular damage of this dark idea: That my existence as a child was a kind of debt and nothing, no matter how small, was mine. That no space was truly private; anything of mine could be forfeited at someone else’s whim.”  ― Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i don’t give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!

it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thing—and then show it off or gift it.

and then so people my age say to me ‘well—i can’t draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.’ yeah, well duh—a part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. u’ll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you can’t stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.

making things improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.

take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.

Radfems and being “sex/kink critical”

Radfems will use any kind of sexual content that makes you uncomfortable to introduce you to terrible sex negative rhetoric and we don’t talk about it enough. Statistically, everyone is going to have something that would make them uncomfortable sexually. But that doesn’t mean it’s a societal or moral failing when those things exist and that we all must rally against them.

Just posting this because people can't seem to get the fucking difference.

What feminism is: I think that women should be allowed to have the same opportunities as men and to be treated with the same respect while also not putting down other women who choose to be traditional as long as it isn't hurting them or me. I also think that women shouldn't be slutshamed for choosing to do sex work or dressing in revealing clothing, or owning their beauty/sexuality. But, they also shouldn't be treated as just a sex symbol since there is more to a woman than their looks.

What it isn't: Kill all men. Trans people bad. Man bad. Sexy woman bad. Big boobs bad. Bisexual and pansexual bad. Non binary bad.

What in the fanfic hell is this?? 😂😂
