🌙🪬 • I am safe in this very moment and I have nothing to fear. I am guided. I attract peace in all areas of my life.
Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns
I love the normalization of neopronouns for this reason. Transphobes are just gonna get their "ironic" pronouns used and respected lmao. Neopronouns users were so based for doing this.
A classmate in undergrad once tried to test me by claiming she would only agree to respect nonbinary pronouns if I used Her Majesty as pronouns for her.
She lasted 2 days before she realized I had absolutely zero problem doing exactly that and was too embarrassed to ever argue with me about pronouns in class again.
When I was working at the greenhouse, one of my coworkers was getting flustered because he was a Proper Gentleman who called everyone "Sir" or "Ma'am" and was getting genuinely heated that there wasn't a gender-neutral honorific for nonbinary people like me.
"Well, you could always call me 'Your Majesty'." I said.
As a Joke.
Because in addition to looking and sounding like an older Yosemitie Sam, he took me Extremely Seriously and addressed me as "Your Majesty" for the rest of the summer. Which was hysterical because it was things like "Your Majesty? Where is the fungicide?" and *gestures at me* "You'll have to as Their Majesty about the tomatoes." He also would call every single person he could not immediately identify the gender of "Your Majesty" and also everyone that had neon hair.
So yes, you should absolutely rigorously adhere to someone's pronouns (Especially if they're unusual pronouns), because it's respectful, because it's clowning on assholes, and because it is fucking delightful.

“When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you. This misinformation will feel unfair - but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth, just like you did.”

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”
— Neil Gaiman
“I am patiently trying to regain control of myself, to regain the self-control that I had lost. For more than a year, everything that happened to me, except you, happened to me without my consent. I was dragged along by events, moods, the work itself, and finally the illness. And in order to accomplish what I still have before me, to be, quite simply, I need a continuous strength, a superiority over myself. Then I get up, slowly, I rebuild my will and my body. I’m not sure I’ll succeed, but I have to, failure would be terrible.”
— Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, February 2, 1950 [#164]
You're allowed to take up space and exist, with all of your needs and problems. You are not a burden, you are not annoying, especially if you depend on other people's care in some capacity, people love you and are glad you exist. Your needs are valid.
And the most important thing to remember is that you have time. Time to discover new people and new projects and new places; time to heal from your past and your wounds. You might feel like you’re getting nothing done and nothing is happening, but you have time to discover your soul. It will happen for you <3
the tumblr and pinterest girlies have made me realize that i am not the only one thinking my silly thoughts and that we all in fact are crazy and share at least a third of our brain cells

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…
Would be a further shame if people started covering cameras (as seen in Hong Kong, with protestors using poles and rakes to lift cardboard boxes over security cameras), blinding drone optics with laser pointers, and flooding police-run reporting apps with junk data.
It would be a shame if the protesters noted that plainclothes cops can be identified a number of ways, such as wearing steel-toed boots; an armband or wristband of a particular color; driving white, black, or dark blue cars with concealed lights; or having the outline of cuffs visible in the back pocket or the bumps of an armor vest’s shoulder straps under their shirt.
It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over the heads of the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hardback books, and ceramic tiles.
It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top) upside-down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain tear gas by placing them over the canisters.
It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise.
All this would be a terrible, terrible shame.
Hey it be even more of a shame to not use plywood
But Rubbermaid instead. Shame shame definitely DONT do that

It would be a shame if someone had to reblog this. Such a shame
ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
- i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
- there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
- there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
- doing nothing is good for my soul.
- i am not defined by what i produce.
- my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
- i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
- i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
Every time you sleep, you have nightmares about apocalypses. One day you had a lucid dream and managed to stop an apocalypse, after which you woke up feeling refreshed. Little did you know that in another timeline, the people of that world is looking for their missing saviour.
PSA:
1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly
2. If you are silly, you must stay silly
2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness
finding out your friend has a new name/gender is so hype. Like yess give us the patch notes
