You know how companies used to make flour sacks with pretty flower patterns on them because mothers would make dresses out of them for their daughters? We should bring that back. Paper bags designed to be reused as wrapping paper. Jars of jam designed to look nice filled with pencils or homemade sauces. Fabric that's high quality enough to use as a patch.

Give things a second life!!

Richard Gadd is ten times the man I am because if I shared my trauma and I saw people calling me the villain and debating on what I should have done and calling my actions bad (even though I already acknowledged my role in what happened and also that guilt over being an imperfect victim is part of what kept me from saying anything at the time) I would go fucking insane and start killing

some quick shivs

i’m so tired of the old “they’re a bad person so have no feelings” shtick. abusers get up every day and do normal human things just like you. they don’t wake up and go “ohoho how can i be horrible to as many people as possible today” they wake up and go “should i have eggs and bacon or just a bowl of cereal.” they think “i should take out the trash.” they think “my favorite show is on tonight at 9pm, i should set up a reminder so i don’t miss it.” they think “man, i haven’t called my mom in a while, i should do that.”

the most important thing we always need to remember is that whoever hurt us is also human. and no, it’s not for forgiveness or rationalizing the abuse. it’s so that we don’t forget that abusive people act exactly like everyone else most of the time. it’s so that we don’t assume our friends could never be abusers just because we never see that side of them. it’s so that we don’t ignore the red flags purely because of the presence of the green ones. “bad people” are not a different species, and the more you think that way, the more you are going to get hurt.

i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY

one time i had a dream that tiktok users deemed “kid” as a slur and that you HAD to refer to them as minors otherwise you would get harassed and threatened with doxxing. you couldn’t say “when i was a kid” anymore for example you HAD to say “when i was a minor” instead

the catholic old white guy asked me to explain lgbtq+ to him and it was honestly kind of funny

As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

personally if i accidentally came out via gay joke at the fan convention i would not keep doing gay jokes at the fan convention. but misha foot in mouths georg who lives at the convention and makes over 10000 gay jokes a day....
