The ritual magic of exercising agency

Don’t misunderstand: the fundamental problem in your life may well be “Shit Life Syndrome” due to capitalism or a health condition you can’t get treated due to capitalism and medical ableism or something else. Even “just” depression is fucking real, and it’s not your fault. You also aren’t entirely helpless, and while “just do something” […]

Tumblr @hakuteeth Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing @spyrogf Things that actually work if u try at them: -Drinking water -No longer making self deprecating jokes -Making sure to take time out of the day to relax and take a breather -Lighting candles -Counting ur breaths in and out if ur having a panic attack -Getting up and trying to do one thing even if u can’t do everything maybe brushing ur teeth but not having the energy to shower @chronicallysickchick Taking a shower if you can, putting clean clothes on if you can’t, even just a clean set of pjs.

Womanhood is good, expansive and resilient

Tumblr @testosteronebutchI get so frustrated when I see fellow sapphics saying that womanhood is necessarily constricting to us. Like, womanhood is so diverse and doesn’t have to be limited by the gender roles pushed on us by a heteronormative society. My butchness and masculinity don’t mean I can’t be a woman, even if I experience […]

@doberbutts And because I talk about intersectionality- This is why trans men are repeatedly saying we do not have male privilege in the way that is being assumed of us. Especially not trans men of color, and especially especially not black trans men. Sometimes, in some situations, I am regarded as a man. But I am always black. It is not safer to be a black man. A white woman tried to get me killed or arrested so she could run her aggressive pit bull in the field next to both of our houses. She knew who I was. She was our neighbor. I passed her several times walking Creed. Her dog was always offleash in that field and out of control when on leash walking on the street. Don’t tell me she has any right to fear me because “well you’re a man” when I have every right to fear how she is going to wield her whiteness as a weapon against me. That could have been my name on the next tagline for a week.

A better world is possible — but not by following the rules

Tumblr @hater-of-terfsStuff like guerilla gardening, stickering, wheatpasting, lifting, graffiti, pothole-filling and other minor illegal acts aren’t only important for their primary effects, but because disobeying your capitalist programming helps break down the internalized worldview that comes with it You start seeing society as it is: a collection of flawed, limited, man-made institutions that can be […]
