Why must my existence as a lesbian be political? Why must my interest in women be political? Why must fictional characters' relationships be political? Why must we as individuals be political based on something as simple our own existence? We all just want to live our lives the way anyone else would and yet we're told to keep it private and to ourselves. We are told to not hold hands or write books for our children about families like ours or people like us because our words will take away the control they want over their children. We have existed under fire and shadow for millenia, and no matter how much has changed, we are barred from having the same treatment as anyone else. No law protects us from harm and discrimination, and yet we are expected to be calm. We are expected to sit here and take it and be grateful for inequality because 'it used to be worse'. This treatment is dehumanizing, and I do not want to be treated like something taboo to be hidden. I am a lesbian. I will hold hands with my girlfriend. I will walk these streets with pride. I will write about women and I will write about loving relationships and I will write about my experience. We will not be silenced. Our existence is not inheritantly political, but you have made it so, and we will not just sit here and be silenced and erased because you refuse to listen and learn.

I think this sums it up beautifully! It’s not about fitting society’s beauty standards, it’s about self respect, being aware of how you present yourself, and, most importantly, taking care of yourself, and that shows

i wish more women knew beauty is an energy. it’s not about fitting the beauty standard so much as it is that tender care for your body and effort put into your outward appearance (hygiene, grooming, personal style and having fun with it) creates a magnetic energy. it tells people to regard you as important because you prioritise time and energy spent solely on yourself. it doesn’t even have to be about appearance at all if it’s not of interest - notice the same energy in people who are very skilled at something, who took the time to be great, who invested into themselves through passion and self-respect. sometimes fitting the beauty standard does help our goals, but you’d be surprised how little it can matter once you focus your energy on how you present yourself regardless of the standards. move from a place of pleasure and passion and watch it all come together.

another gravity falls animation! :3 hope yall enjoy!

I don’t like when people belittle other people’s interests by calling it a phase. Yeah, maybe it is, but that’s okay! What matters is their interest now.

Same thing kind of applies to identity, but in that case all I can say is that we are all constantly discovering ourselves. I don’t think a single person out there knows all there is to know about themself. We should be and feel free to connect, identify, and label ourselves based on our current self knowledge.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
