I’m sending out some extra love and support today to the nonbinary people out there who are presenting as binary or ‘stealth’ for safety/security reasons and don’t get to present themselves in the way that they want.
You are not forgotten this pride month. You are not less for needing to be safe. You’re still nonbinary and nothing will change that unless you wish to change it.

Tbh I think many people take for granted how much gif makers do, and the fact that this site is unique in their existence of them
Thank you to everybody with the skills to share snippets of media I would not otherwise have seen or had the opportunity of hearing of. Gifs are often the first way I hear of something personally, and frequently the reason I give any new-to-me movie or show a try
This is an EXTREMELY blessed post! And accurate! When I first moved out I was so excited for my new place I slept on the floor and had my tv there and that was it. Loved it. You grow and you build and you gain and you lose. I lost that place and everything in it. Now I have a new place with new things and it’s very much home.
In the future, there is a small, quiet room that is just yours, where you are safe and you are free. In that room your shoulders will finally start to come down from around your ears. Nobody can come into that room unless you let them. In that clean quiet place, you will work and you will study. You will love and you will heal.-Captain Awkward, “Should I Move Away From My Abusive Family?”
This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.
Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need
Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything
no phone i did not “miss a call” i watched it ring the whole time
my media needs are simple: I want the women to hold swords, the men to hold children, and the non-binary people to hold hands
someone being patient with u is one of the softest forms of love
Something I don’t think I’ve ever seen discussed much:
The intersection of poverty & fatphobia is fucking hell. I have literally been told that periods of food insecurity and malnutrition were “blessings in disguise” so I could “use up some of that fat.”
People in poverty are often fat, and food insecurity is a massive concern when you’re impoverished–but all people see is the fat. It’s somehow funny when fat people are desperate for food and clean clothes and hygiene items.
If you stink because it’s been months since you could do laundry? People act like the smell is because you’re fat. If your hair is dirty because you can’t access a shower, people act as if you’re dirty because you’re fat. If you’re starving, people will look at your stomach and assume it must actually be digesting a feast, just because you’re fat.
Fat poverty is scary, brutal, and doesn’t really seem to get much visibility, because the stereotype of what impoverished and hungry people looks like tends to skew waifish.
One of the more annoying trends on Tumblr is how people immediately jump in to point out that workers haven’t called s boycott literally every time there’s any kind of labor action going on. Unless the union is specifically requesting that you buy more to drive up demand, not buying scab wares is just polite.
Also, when the labor action involves food or other perishables (such as for instance, oh I don’t know, perhaps Kelloggs), buying scab wares is a great way to get killed by eating adulterated pop tarts
You don’t want scabs making your food. There’s shit in there that ain’t supposed to go in your body.
