day 9: allure

God works hard but the shop owner at the rest stop giving away free stuff works harder. He said be gay. listen to trot. do minor crimes like setting off fireworks at the beach

I made this out of the rage I felt from seeing transphobic, butchphobic and enbyphobic comments in my tl.

Being a lesbian is part of my identity too and I refuse to let other people tell me I am not a lesbian just because I don't fit their binary perception of things. It's so sad to see other lesbians shitting on butches and gender non-conforming or non-binary lesbians.

But hey, we are here and we're not going anywhere, I am not going anywhere. I've always been a loud lesbian and I'll always be.

Keep being loud, proud and gentle with other lesbians and be fierce with the ones who try to erase us.

When I joined Engineering, for the first time, I found myself to be, academically, just an average person. Below average, in fact. With no other talent, academic prowess was my only source of pride - now even that was gone.

Predictably, when my first semester grades came, I rationalized that since the grades were not outstanding, it did not matter if they were decent or absolutely horrible. I call this an ‘all or nothing’ mindset.

As a result, I stopped caring and my grades kept slipping.

And all my sins are catching up when I'm having to apply for an internship or job interview. I'm having constant anxiety.

This all or nothing mindset is pure evil. This is why, when things are not going well, we totally give up instead of fighting to redeem whatever is possible. It is why we wait for the New Year to make resolutions instead of getting started the next day - ‘After all, since this year is imperfect, why bother at all?’

This is why we give up on our dreams when we suffer a setback. This mindset is just an excuse for procrastination.

Life is not a black and white choice between ‘perfect’ and ‘imperfect’; most of life is grayscale. We don’t have to be perfect - we just have to do the best we can, under the circumstances.

curious about what people expect from artists that they follow- I've heard a variety of advice from folks and I'm wondering what the expectations of people on tumblr are

theres also a poll about OLD art~

Donate to Help the Abu Shammalah Family Find Safety and Rebuild, organized by Ahmed Abushammala

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers, I am writing to… Ahmed Abushammala needs your support for Help the Abu Shammalah Family Find

PLS HELP THE ABUSHAMMALA FAM

Displaced four times from our home, they now find themselves living in a single, overcrowded room with our cousins – ten people crammed into a space meant for one or two. The lack of privacy, the absence of basic necessities, and the constant fear for their lives have made their situation desperate.

i was finally able to talk to ahmed a while ago. i got his permission to share to you all what a lot of us and people before us had been echoing since the dawn of humanity.

the poll i made was me trying to relate and connect with the tumblr userbase who faces rental probs, and homelessness. i am hoping that you see yourself in their place. housing is a basic human right. just like land which gives us bread and rice. it is not really an up for debate issue. and this is also why oppressed and exploited ppl fight with their life for their security, for their dignity, for their identity, for their family and for their children's future. can we help ahmed raise the necessary funds for his family? this gfm was created last april. still at 22% of completion. can we give them hope and support? this is #161 on @/el-shab-hussein, @/nabulsi and @/moayesh gsheet; also posted by @/el-shab-hussein here

thanks to all who advocated for the abusweireh family so far. please continue doing so. you keep them afloat in the middle of everything. also, i beg everyone again to not hesitate to help other palestinian families pls! a small amount goes a long way. a reblog might be the reason someone donates. a simple post can alter their lives. show them that we care and that palestinian lives matter. pls.

everybody keeps saying "it should not happen to you first for you to finally care" or wtvr variation of it before but like i still do not see enough users w huge platform doing shit. and i am so sick and tired of it. stop ignoring the calls for help jfc there is an ongoing humanitarian crisis! your interests can literally wait omg
