Literally My Favorite Type Of Tweet

i post for the girls who used to read obsessively but can no longer pick up a book and also are no longer girls

(through gritted teeth) i love being out of my comfort zone it is necessary for my personal development

i also wanna yell about gwendoline christie’s performance as lucifer because she’s just astonishingly good. so many people approach the role emphasizing the fallen aspect of the fallen angel, and she goes out of her way to emphasize that she’s a fallen angel. the way she treats dream with the utmost hospitality coated in poison, and fucks him over as much as she can with the same hollow pleasant smile on her face. the way she can’t outdo dream’s “I am hope” because to kill hope would be to kill her own hopes of one day going home. the way she literally gasps with tears in her eyes when dream calls her on that. and when the mask finally drops, and she tells him in no uncertain terms that one day, Hell will destroy him, it’s fucking personal and that she’ll be holding the knife herself. i can’t, honestly. give her all the awards.

Oh yeah, if you're going insane can you grab some neck and wrist kisses? The way you draw arms and necks has me feeling some kinda way

lil smooch and a lil bite while i recover from whatever the fuck has been going on lately

Let's get real and talk, As a trans man I don't feel welcome in the trans community tbh. there are so many hateful people in our community, that like to gatekeep or project their own shit on people. I'm so sick of other trans people telling OTHER TRANS PEOPLE that they are not trans because *insert reason here*. Honesty SHUT THE FUCK UP! There is no "right way to be trans".

I'm a passing trans man, who has had surgery, and I still get called a "transtrender" by dumbasses. Like fuck OFF!? Who tf are you to dictate who is trans???

Trans men CAN be feminine.

Trans men CAN be masculine

Trans men Can do what ever tf they want.

LET PEOPLE LIVE.

I'm proud to be trans and it pisses me off that other trans people put other people down, just because they are different from them. I haven't even looked at any trans tags in months because there is always someone putting other trans people down.

Worry about yourself and let people live their life man.

There is literally no moral value to any gender. It is All Morally Neutral. It should go without saying but I think we've circled back societally to assigning value and personality based on gender

A lot of hardline pro-lifers really do believe their bullshit. They don’t believe a pregnant woman should want an abortion, even if the pregnancy will kill her, because they deeply believe a mother should be willing to die for their child, and they see the pregnancy as a child. That’s both a sign of how little they value women, but it’s also partly how heavily they buy into the dehumanizing mythology of The Mother.

Yes, there is a lot of horrible misogyny that goes into the prolife movement, and that can’t be understated. They believe that pregnancy is a punishment for sex, the consequence they just need to suck up and deal with.

But that’s not enough! They need to be a mother and therefore a martyr. They want her to be redeemed through sacrifice, to die trying, no matter how incompatible with life the pregnancy is.

And they want her to die with a bloody smile—and even better, as the newborn miraculously survives, a gift from God and The Mother, both of whom knew better than the arrogant, Godless, secular Doctor.

There is no logical debate or good enough reason that will get through to someone whose that hardline pro-life because they see a woman wanting to live instead of dying a martyr as a moral failing, as a sin.

anyway, Thought Of The Night:

when i was 6, i started experiencing back pain. said it hurt, kept suggesting a doctor.

no one listened.

by the age of 13, i should have been tested for scoliosis.

the school fucked up, and i wasnt.

at the age of 14, i went to the doctor for a bad back.

she looked at me, looked at how criminally large my breasts where, how fat i had become due to inability to exercise properly.

looked at my back. said i might get scoliosis if this kept up. do these exercises, youll be fine.

sent me home.

at the age of 15, i walked around New Orleans for a week in flats. gave myself tendonitis and plantar faasciatis.

no referrerals to a proper PT specialist. no rx drugs that might help. just...

here, do these at home exercises.

by the age of 16, i was having stomach pain every day from acid caused by my OTC drug use.

the stuff i used to mitigate the pain.

the doctor gave me what was essentially topical Ibuprofen. told me i couldn't injest painkillers anymore.

i was 20 by the time i saw a doctor and got my diagnoses. i was 20 before i knew i had fibro and scoliosis. i was 20 before i knew that drugs that weren't narcotics or OTCs that messed with my stomach existed, that i should use a cane, that i might need a wheelchair some days.

kids don't say "I'm in pain" over and over and over for attention. they don't fake being hurt in a chronic way.

i feel like everything i went through was preventable. i feel like i might be abled had i had proper care and treatment.

parents, caregivers, loved ones of children:

When a kid says they're in pain, please listen.
