shout out to all the trans women who don’t feel included in the protests as of late. you are still a women even if you don’t have a vagina and you deserve just as many rights as cis women

If someone asks you if your “a Gay/Lesbian/etc” in That Tone™, its okay to say no, especially if saying yes is potentially endangering to you and puts you at risk for ridicule and humiliation.

You’re not denying yourself or misrepresenting the community, you’re protecting yourself and that’s your number one priority.

Don’t feel guilty for keeping yourself safe.

In light of the women’s marches today, please remember that not all women have vaginas, and not all people with vaginas are women!!! There have been some transphobic signs at the marches today that play into the gender binary and echo the sentiment “my genitalia is better than yours,” so here’s to intersectional and inclusive women’s rights, bodily autonomy, reproductive rights, and human rights

Some ideas for bad things that are white/light:

• lightning, very hot fire
• snow storms, ice, frost on crops
• some types of fungus/mold
• corpses, ghosts, bones, a diseased person
  
• clothing, skin tone, hair, etc. of a bad person
• fur, teeth, eyes of an attacking animal/monster
• bleached out deserts, dead trees, lifeless places
• poison
  

Some ideas for good things that are black/dark:

• rich earth/soil
  
• chocolate, truffles, wine, cooked meat
  
• friendly animals/pets/creatures
• a character’s favorite vehicle, technology, coat, etc.
• a pleasant night
• hair, skin tone, clothing, etc. of a good person
• undisturbed water of a lake
• the case/container of something important
• valued wood, furniture, art
• velvet
  

Think to burn, to infect, to bleach vs. to enrich, to protect, to be of substance.

*slams reblog like the fist of an angry god*

the politics of light and dark are everywhere in our vocabulary…psa to writers: subvert this, reveal whiteness and lightness as sometimes artificial and violent, and darkness as healing, the unknown as natural

Ok so within the next few months or so there will be alot of diet propaganda and I want you to stay safe and take care and be gentle on yourself. You don’t need to lose weight to be valued or loved. You are beautiful just the way you are.

The single most toxic thing I was brought up believing is that being Adult and Responsible and Good starts with doing everything completely alone and without help

What it’s really about is learning where and when you need help, how much help you need, and knowing when to reach out and ask for the help you need to function at your ideal level

People were never meant to live alone
