Because I feel like kids of color don’t hear it enough: domestic abuse is not a part of your culture. 

A lot of us were raised with the idea that “its normal for wives/children to get hit! it helps them learn– only white folk don’t get beaten when they misbehave”. That’s not true, white people aren’t the only ones who deserve a safe and abuse free environment. Black and brown people can and do have loving families. 

If you’re in a situation where you are enduring abuse and people use your culture to justify it, I want you to know that what they’re telling you are lies.

Important to remember

“you can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick”

i didn’t get this until someone put it into words. i’d never understand why i always felt better when i locked myself alone in my room rather than spending time with my toxic family. i never understood why i was bubbly and outgoing when i was with my friends but my energy was immediately drained the second i got home. i didn’t understand why regardless of the effort i put into healing i would keep getting triggered by people in my family. i never understood it until i read that sentence and it all just clicked. i can’t heal in an environment where the people are benefiting from my suffering. where the people don’t want to change the behaviour which affects me negatively.

Hopping on the international Miku trend w my Aaliyah-inspired Black Miku

Does anyone's OCD come with hyperfixations on certain pieces of media? Like you get into something, but then you get so obsessed with it that you have to start, like researching everything about this piece of media and you need to know like more and more and it kind of like consumes your whole soul in a way?

Very important to remember, it gets quite hard sometimes

dear skin-pickers, nail-biters, people with dermatillomania/trichotillomania, people with any kind of skin condition or BFRB:

you are not dirty. you are not gross, disgusting, or unclean for it. you are not less worthy of appreciation or affection. you are not less beautiful. you are not weird or disturbing for it. you deserve every bit of love there is to give. i see you, i know you, i understand how hard it is to stop. everybody who has, i'm so proud of you. everybody who can't, i'm on your side, and you will get there someday. every single one of you deserves all the love in the world and i am sending as much of it as i can to you now <3

#dermatillomania #skin picking

I need more dermatillomania rep. I need characters with blemished skin from skin picking. Give me a character with red spots and scars from picking spots that they couldn't leave alone. give me a character who keeps bandages and ointments and fidget toys and other helpful things in their bag for when they feel like picking. Give me a character who constantly has scabs because they can't leave their skin alone. Let them have scabs and scars on their face, neck, and other noticeable places. Give me a character who is open about their skin picking disorder. Give me a character who is open about needing help like therapy or medicine or something else for their skin picking. Give me characters who have dermatillomania and its not seen as a horrible icky thing.

Peace be upon the daughter who helped her parents grow up. Accepted their cold shoulder, excused their anger, pardoned their mistakes, taught them how to be human. Peace be upon the sister who paid the price of rebellion. Screaming to her fullest, shaking like a leaf but standing tall, never letting the dictatorship go without a fight, paving the path for her siblings to breathe easier. Peace be upon the first child of an immigrant father. Aching to find their own purpose in life, firm in their own beliefs, contradicting generations and generations of cultural values. Peace be upon the girl who shouldered her mother's trauma. Swindled it into her own, morphed herself into an image of the womb she once resided in, immersed herself into troubles that weren't even hers, covered up scars that she couldn't even recognize. Peace be upon the woman who forgot who she was. So determined to be the savior of everyone, to fix her family, to nurture and love everyone around her. So deeply lost that she forgot she's just as worthy of love. Peace be upon you.

right now, a hotel in kyoto, japan is mass rated falsely 1 star reviews by israeli people because the hotel refuses to serve idf soldiers.

this is the message the soldier had recieved:

if anyone is willing to help report the false reviews, it would help this hotel greatly. i think they deserve help with that for being ethical.

this is a link to the reviews on google maps

reblogs would be appreciated.

this was posted in an israeli group, so no non israelis know about it yet
