things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever
change the color used to highlight text on your laptop
move the pictures on your wall
stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all
slightly vary your commute, even just by one street
change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed
drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real
shower with the lights off, without music
buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing
wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!
The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!
This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!
ITS BACK!!!!!
god i fucking love the quote “dont turn yourself into a sad zoo animal” it has really inspired me!
I think the fact of the matter is that if queer/trans people integrated themselves into groups with people of color, specifically black trans people, the women turning out to be transphobic wouldn’t be that much of a surprise.
I understand the concern and attention to racism from the white trans community is little to none, but both Rowling and Margaret were racist prior to being open about their transphobia, and not unsurprisingly most white trans and queer folks didn’t care.
Racism is often going to be a precursor to a lot of other discriminatory beliefs, including transphobia. So I really do suggest y'all start caring about racism rather than silencing people of color, and I beg of y'all to care about it before it impacts you.
Because racism is the foundation of a lot of discrimination, and a lot of these people coming out to be transphobic were hella racist to begin with, especially towards black people.
Realize the trend please.
I absolutely encourage you to share this if you’re white and trans.
It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it.
Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.
In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.
Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.
Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…
I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.
This is why all emails should simple be signed with a serial number or “ sincerely, your robot overlords”
