i think makeup can be artistic expression i also think sometimes people are lying about it being about artistic expression and would in fact be a lot happier if they had never been told they had to wear it
I need all of you to understand that if you are intentionally *hurting someone to feel more powerful, you are abusing that person
I've seen way too many posts recently saying like "sure, it's not productive, but it can be empowering and therapeutic to get your anger out" Yeah, that is abuse.
making someone feel lesser so that you can feel more powerful is what abusers do. that's why they do it. nobody wakes up in the morning rubbing their hands together, stroking their beard, planning all the evil abusive things they're going to do today. yhey just do those things because it's cathartic and empowering
you can be abusive, yes you, even if you're oppressed, even if they have privilege over you, even if you're a woman, even if they're bigger and stronger than you, even if it's "just a joke," even if you think they shouldn't be upset because it's a stupid thing to be upset about. it doesn't matter. you're not uniquely harmless.
some of you guys are turning into your parents shockingly quick
*I don't specifically mean physically hurting someone. I mean doing anything against another person's consent. this post is not about kink. as long as you've negotiated and are using safewords, there is no problem with beating someone up for fun
You are the adventurer who went on an epic quest and defeated the evil king, all to gain the sacred amulet and use its one wish to revive your sister. Now everyone expects you to accept her death and use the wish to undo the damage instead. You refuse.
one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.
The way you change your immediate reactions to things is that you catch yourself having an uncharitable/bigoted/overly judgmental thought and you catch it and replace it and then you do that a hundred times a day for your whole life and eventually one day like five years later you realize that you think differently now and you’ll always be working on something but that’s how life goes and that’s fine.
Hey tumblr if I opened commissions would you buy them? I wasn't going to yet but I might have to do it sooner than I thought but I'm not sure if my art is someone people would commission
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Sometimes your progress may not look like progress to others. You respecting your limits and listening to your needs might mean you do less things, rest more and say no more than in the past. Maybe progress for you is actually speaking more up and being more honest about how you are actually doing, being more honest about your health. It can look scary to others and like you are getting worse at first, cause they are not with you every single minute of the day. I am proud of you. You should not feel like you need to apologize for your progress, even if your progress is inconvenient for other people, gets misunderstood and takes time for those around you to understand. Your progress is yours to judge, claim and celebrate. 🌸
