Not all lesbians are thin white girls who wear Calvin Klein underwear and go camping every weekend. Lesbians are brown girls in salwar kameezes and bindis and black girls with dreadlocks and afros and Muslim girls in hijabs and Jewish girls in tznius, lesbians are fat girls and 5X+ girls and girls with big bones and girls who are 6 feet tall, lesbians are poor girls on welfare and girls getting food stamps and homeless girls and girls working multiple minimum wage jobs, lesbians are girls with depression and anxiety and girls with personality disorders and psychosis and girls in the hospital and girls who are suicidal, lesbians are girls with disabilities and girls in wheelchairs and girls with chronic pain and girls who are blind and deaf and girls who are in recovery and girls who can’t recover, lesbians are girls who are 5 years old and girls who are 85 years old and girls who have known their whole life and girls who just found out, lesbians are girls from literally all walks of life and all cultures and all religions and our stories are so unique and so vast and to reduce us to only a small group of girls who most of us aren’t is disingenuous of who we all are as a whole.

white lgbt ppl dont know how much trouble theyve caused for us -_-

white lgbt ppl will constantly have to be informed about racism and nonwhite issues bc they're only ever friends w other white people, speak over lgbt ppl of color when it comes to representation and problems in media, not acknowledge when white supremacy feeds into intracommunity bigotry. and then say things like "the lgbt community shouldn't be at odds with each other! 😤" i don't know if you guys know how big a split there is between you and us at the best of times

white gays can reblog this if u can keep ur mouth shut

full offense ya’ll don’t have to announce you’re white, very white savior-y, just reblog the post and stop trying to use people’s struggles to make yourselves look good

ITS PRIDE MONTH AND YOU GUYS ARE CONSISTENTLY WEIRD ABOUT LESBIANS, THE LESBIAN FLAG, THE LESBIAN EXPERIENCE — THEREBY YOU ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO OFFER YOUR SUPPORT TO EMILY GWEN, THE CREATOR OF THE LESBIAN FLAG WHO IS CURRENTLY STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE WITH NO JOB AND NO CLOTHING FOR INTERVIEWS

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

^^^^^^ read it. say it out loud. keep repeating it until you understand.

I personally hate talking about my health issues online but I have an infection again, thanks to my autoimmune disease. It might go away on its own with the usual regiment I take to combat it, but it might not. To be ready for any potential doctor appointments and surgeries (yes, plural sadly) please help if you can as I don't have insurance or any assistance. I have paid divinations and paid devotionals open for any that want something in return.

Any donations are welcome if you don't want a written piece or tarot/oracle reading. My ko-fi, v*nmo, p*ypal, and c*sh*pp, as well as tumblr tipping for anyone that wants it, it would help so much I can't begin to get into it.

today i feel very…… mmmm whats the word… bad

ohhh god how could i choose

i’ve been listening to them since i was like 6 because my mum used to play them in the car on long road trips + we had the big black and the blue and stay gold as cds so they’re super nostalgic for me but also they just slap. very hard <3

uhhh my fav songs are probably the lion’s roar, wolf, heavy storm, met up with a king and silver lining!

hbu?

omg same stay gold is literally our go-to car cd and everyone always sings along to it it's great

they DO slap honestly i love everything about their music,,, also i love listening to how it's been evolving since they were two teenagers recording videos in a forest

oh no now you've made me think about it i'm realising how hard it is to choose a favourite 😭 my favourite songs are probably wolf, waltz for richard, tangerine and i found a way. also nobody knows and master pretender. and to live a life. and some distant memory. and hard believer. and- aargh!

yesss all good choices!!! i don’t think i know a few of those because i’m only really familiar with the big black and the blue, stay gold and the lion’s roar as albums but yeah

i see i see i see if you like their early stuff then maybe you would like to listen to drunken trees because it's the first thing they released ever and i really like the vibes and you can still hear the traces of their swedish accents in some parts which is kind of cute

have you listened to any of the lion's roar bonus tracks? 'cause there were three that only got put on like the japanese itunes release or something idk and only one of them is available on spotify and i think it's a travesty because i love them all dearly

also you simply MUST listen to their cover of the boys of summer by don henley. i think everyone should listen to it actually

NO I KNOW BOYS OF SUMMER AND IT’S REALLY GOOD YOU’RE RIGHT (did not realise it was a cover lmfao)

but omg ty for the recommendations!!! i really have to listen to more of their stuff hehe

tumblr should add the ability to do slider-polls. Instead of a set of individual discrete options, you give two endpoints and people answer along a scale, and they're averaged together to some slider position.

Something like this:

Trick i learned awhile ago, but this can help change your voice (lower/higher)

Lower:

-Tilt your head back as far as you can

-hum as high as you can

-slowly lower your head while lowering the tone of your hum until your chin touches your chest

-repeat for 10-15 minutes once day

-for quicker results, do this 2-3 times a day

Higher:

-lower your head to your chest

-hum as low as you can

-slowly raise your head while raising the tone of your voice until your head is tilted all the way back

-repeat the same amount of times as previously stated

I cant say if this is long term or anything like that, but it helps when you want your voice to sound naturally higher/lower

Help two queers in the US south pay bills

Unfortunately my whole paycheck went to bills, but I only need a little help. I have to pay $120 by June 10th to keep my water on and I need to pay $70 ASAP to keep my Internet on. Total it’s $190, if anyone can help I’d really appreciate it!

I’ll even send you my poetry book or a poem or anything if that’s interesting! Reblogs are also always appreciated 🙏🏼❤️

If you are thinking about it on paper, the bus running every half hour doesn't sound so bad, until you're waiting at the stop and you miss a bus or it's delayed. Then you're waiting a very, very long time. To people who never take transit, that's probably fine. Why do you care. To people who only take transit, they're expecting it, it's baked in their lives. But the important part, what really impacts our cities, is what happens to people for whom transit is an option.

The spiral goes like this. You go to take the bus instead of driving, thinking "I'm going to o have a couple drinks" or "I don't want to worry about parking where I'm going." So you take bus. First bus is right on time. But then you transfer from your neighborhood line to the line that takes you where you actually want to go. And your bus is delayed. And it only comes every 30 minutes. And then you're waiting, 40 minutes later, wondering where your bus is, knowing you could have driven there in 20 minutes.

Why would you ever chose to take a bus again? The bus made you waste precious time on your day off just sitting there. So next time you drive. Ridership goes down. When the transit authority asks for more money for more buses and more drivers, people point to the ridership numbers and say "why should we pay for this instead of paying for our schools/police/baseball stadium/parks/police again (let's be real that's who's taking all the money)?" If we want to increase ridership we need to actually design and fund functional transit networks. If we want people to actually ride the bus we need to make it a better option than driving, which means reliable service, which you don't get with a bus every 30 minutes.

Every 15 minutes, everywhere, all of the time.

Reading sports headlines while pretending sports doesn't exist suggests a fascinating world of magic and whimsy.
