Tbh I feel like a lot more trans mlw would want to identify as transhet if yall didn't treat straight trans men like absolute shit. Like, me and multiple other transmascs I know tried to force ourselves to be comfortable identifying as a lesbian because we didn't want to become straight men, friends had told us we better not end up being straight men, we didn't want to lose our queer identity but straight masculinity is seen as incompatible with queerness. So we tried being lesbian trans men. And exclusionists would rather scream "male lesbians are bad and evil" than address and try to dismantle the transandrophobia that leads so many trans mlw to identify as lesbians rather than straight trans men.
(For clarity, not all lesbian trans men identify that way out of external pressure or internalized transandrophobia, and i don't think every one of them should switch to identifying as a straight trans man. I just find it interesting that exclusionists would rather spew hate than actually help trans mlw)
King Harald V of Norway speaking at the national memorial ceremony at Oslo Spektrum on 22 July 2021 for the 10th anniversary of the far-right terrorist attack that killed 77 people – 8 at the government quarters in Oslo, and 69, primarily young people, on the island of Utøya.
Still, I have a lot of faith in the Norwegian people, for we have proven time and again, in so many difficult situations, how much we can achieve when we stand united in protecting our fundamental values. Which is why I repeat today what I said 10 years ago: I firmly believe that freedom is stronger than fear. I firmly believe in an open Norwegian democracy and society. I firmly believe that we will uphold our ability to live freely and securely in our own country. And today – 10 years on, I would like to add the following: I know that time does not heal all wounds. I mourn all the lives that were lost, and I grieve alongside all those who were injured. At the same time we should truly be thankful for the many people who are working to build an inclusive society for us all. Even as we mark the 10th anniversary of one of the darkest days in our history, all the people bringing back the light fill us with hope.
no bc guys. people are sleeping on the will byers trauma train somehow. like HOW? this boy isn’t compelling to you??? imagine you got kidnapped by an evil tooth monster to another dimension and your sister you hadn’t met yet tried to find you but you were unconscious and then you DIED and then got better and came home and started coughing up slugs and then you had to go back to middle school and then you got possessed by evil smoke and killed a bunch of scientists AND your mom’s boyfriend AND almost killed all your friends (but you got helped by the power of family and rainbows and a little gayness) and then you were unconscious AGAIN when you tried to meet your sister for the first time for the second time and then you tried to strangle your mom and then your boy best friend’s sister tried to burn you alive and then your boy best friend started dating your sister who you finally met and then he called you gay and you cried and then you had to move to the desert and your weird brother got a new weird friend who drives you to school in a pizza van and then you find out the evil smoke that possessed you is named henry and he still fucking hates you and you actually are gay. and also your dad sucks

reblog to send three ghosts after elon musk
some of u reblog the most ableist posts without even realizing n it's so sad.
"you're depressed bc ur an adult who doesn't exercise n u only eat pre-made meals which is also why ur in pain all the time" bruh have u heard of being disabled? if i exercise i will get worse. regardless of food (which takes a lot of time/money/energy to prepare, not to mention food restrictions some of us need to find a way around!!) or exercise i am still in pain every day.
i was in pain when i played basketball at a national level at 14 and when i ran over 1h every day and also went to the gym at 21 and when i rode my bike a minimum of 40km up and down hills daily at 23 AND i am in less pain now at 25 bc I've learned not to push my body beyond it's limit.
"you're depressed because adult humans need to have sex" like that's the most ridiculous take I've ever heard lmao maybe U need to have sex to avoid depression and maybe some of us cannot have sex for traumatic reasons which will trigger even more depression. maybe things aren't black n white u should not be spreading such misinformation?
i beg yall ableds to pick up a book on the relation between trauma & pain & capitalism and also, while I'm at it, to fucking stop putting neurodivergencies on the same level as for e.g. spinal cord injuries. it ain't the same!
obviously a balanced diet + physical exercise can seriously improve some people's lives but not all of us have the capacity to make that happen. not all of us have the self sufficiency let alone external help to enjoy such privileges. just... be kinder & be careful with the info ur putting out there?
“Santo cielo!” Luigi cried out, laughing as the ghost continued his faithful administration of their usual morning greetings. The Italian did his best to control the beast, hand phasing through the spectral form as he tried to push Polterpup away. “Down, doggy, down! I’m up, I’m up!”
cop shows are like "dammit! we would have caught babyeater mike by now if people didn't have rights,"
