Unmute !
IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNMUTE!!!!
something that rly creeps me out…..occasionally ill see videos or articles for christians or christian missionaries that say something like “what you need to do is make friends with non christians and really get them to trust you and THEN you start preaching to them and bringing them to jesus” and that is….man how much would it hurt to know that the only reason someone’s hanging out with you is to convert you to a religion you were never interested in. maybe this is a real friend, someone you really really feel like you connect to, and all of a sudden you cant hang out with them without being scared they’ll bring out the jesus stuff.

charlie youre blowing my third eye WIDE open
hahahaha like a year ago I tweeted “Christianity’s attitude toward Jews resembles nothing so much as the attitude of a man toward a woman who won’t fuck him” and people got SO MAD at me
The older you get the more you will realize that your friends are people who have made mistakes and bad decisions and even just fucked up and hurt people.
And obviously your boundaries with your friends are completely up to you but you do need to recognize that if you cut off everyone who has done something wrong, you’re going to end up with no friends (and you yourself will have also fucked up in your life, and not lived up to those impossible standards either).
I’ve found it’s much more constructive to learn how to say “hey dude, that was massively fucked up of you,” because most people are really willing to say “yeah, it was, I need to work on it/not do it again/apologize and make things right” ESPECIALLY if they are hearing it from you as their friend.
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for another person is to tell them that they’ve done something wrong, help them fix it, and stay their friend because it’s what we would want from them if we did something wrong.
hang on I’m trying to see something
don’t tell me the name of your pet, just tell me in the tags the name you call them that’s got nothing to do with their actual name
No No No! 🙀 Don’t take your hands. I feel so comfy. 💕🐊
HOW CAN SOMETHING BE THIS CUTE

But really, though 🥺
Shit therapists say really does feel like those "shouldn't this be obvious" game loading screen tips. Like you got stuff like "communicating your feelings verbally will make others aware of how you feel" and "if you feel overwhelmed in a situation, you can remove yourself from the situation until you calm down" and you roll your eyes like ugh isn't that just common sense, but someone who got thrown in with no tutorial and is operating everything completely wrong will spit out their cereal like HOLD ON YOU CAN JUST DO THAT?
Liminal spaces are cool and magical not even in the creepy postmodern horror way btw. I once stepped out of my busy grocery store job at midnight after a huge dust storm and the air was still, the empty parking lot frosted with a layer of fine powder, some still hanging in the air, some stirred by my footsteps. The sky was a bruised, dark grey, and as I walked out to my little Yaris, all alone, I felt like the faeries danced along in the places just beyond my sight
It is nothing short of tragedy that we learned to fear the spaces between the worlds we know, to fill them with monsters of our own creation. There is a peace and a wonder in the places of transition, the silence and stillness and the solitude a rare gift from the universe to you.
Our world today is so loud and full and frantic, to have a moment of genuine peace, to live if but for a moment in a place outside of it all, this isn’t a thing of terror, it’s serenity made manifest.
Learn to love that which waits for you in the silence and the shadow and the places between, and you will find its company like that of an old friend.
Explaining the housing woes to one of my coworkers:
"Both my grandparents died within the span of a year, leaving me with enough for a down payment, and I've been extra conscious about my credit score for the past ten years, so my credit score is excellent. But the bank won't let me have a loan because I don't make enough per year."
Him: "yeah, that debt to income ratio is a real killer."
Me: "...I have zero debt."
Him: "...? Let me sort this out. You say you have the down payment, which is the hard part."
Me: "yeah."
Him: "and you have agood credit score which is the other hard part."
Me: "yeah."
Him: "and zero debt."
Me: "none."
Him: "... how much did they say you have to make?"
Me: "30k a year to qualify for fha loans."
Him: "you got all the hard parts done and they STILL won't let you have a mortgage loan now"
Me: "seems it."
Him: "...it's way worse than I thought it was."
Me: "yup!"
Male tits and girl dicks are NORMAL they are 100% normal to me and not just in a sex way but also like, if you are ftm and wanna chill with your boobs out no bra/binder or are mtf and wanna chill in boxers or underwear with a bulge why the hell not? It’s just body parts ya know.
Why does it have to be inherently sexualized by people? If you DO find it sexy that’s ok but I’m referring to transphobes who treat trans peoples bodies as some kind of… “scary”thing
trans bodies are either fetishized or deemed disgusting and in neither of which do the people doing it recognize the trans person as a human being deserving of equal respect and i think thats the core problem. lack of respect
in a way its kind of a similar problem with fat bodies. theyre either fetishized/sexualized or treated as gross or unhealthy. post-op trans bodies are also treated as gross and unhealthy (trans mens' especially) by a lot of people. and post op/treatment trans womens bodies are fetishized a lot. just treat people normal pretty please
NT's really be like "i'm so stressed, i can feel a headache coming on" and then turn around and say "your physical symptoms are all in your head" like. janet. look me in the eyes janet. do you see the problem here
