#im turning reblogs off

[a-whispering-echo]

im so done with 'body positive' groups and comments - because the fucking SECOND anyone SKINNY is in the group, and talks about THEIR troubles with their weight an appearance, they get fucking SHAT on! 'oh you dont understand cus youre skinny' 'shut up youre literally the beauty standard' ' who gives you the right to show up here looking like that? fucking leave'

youre not actually 'body positive' if your just there to talk good about fat people and fat people EXCLUSIVLY. yes, fat people ARE beautiful, YES they deserve to feel good about their bodies and EVERYTHING, i assure you i am ALL for that! but if you start talking shit about someone who thin who has insecurities too, your NOT uplifting ANYONE, youre just being a dick.

'haha fast metabolisms' jokes and shit 'oh look anorexic' 'eat a fucking burger' 'youre wasting away'- these are ALL fucking AWFUL things to come from people who are SUPPOSED to be positive. I dont have ANY of the above mentioned disorders, AND i come from a family with a bunch of obese people on my mothers side - ive had these and similar comment from people who are my own damn FAMILY.

Im THIN because i have a fucking disease DISEASE that was, for a while, slowly fucking KILLING me, and i HATE how fucking SMALL i am. the smallest sizes of clothing i can fucking GET are TOO BIG ON ME - i am SWAMPED. but yeah sure, i cant feel bad about my body when i desperately need someone to talk to who, while on the other end of it, SHOULD and DOES understand my struggles!

instead of talking to me about their own struggles, so we can uplift and support, im just told 'dam i wish i could be as small as you' NO YOU FUCKING DONT! MY ORGANS FEEL LIKE THEYRE FUCKING FAILING EVERTIME I DAMN BREATHE! im freezing all the fucking time, i can barely walk, and i feel like my body is going to collapse in on itself every damn day. my bones are brittle, my skin barely stretches over my skin, you can see all my bones - my ribcage, you can see the way the bones in my arm cross over each other, and STILL you tell me in not allowed to complain because 'people would kill to look like you'

im just so fucking tired.

You wouldn't imagine the type of crowd that bug poll I made went to

[nymphoutofwater]

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything”?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?

Anything that runs on a track counts as a train for the purposes of this poll, i.e. metro, subway, tram, trolley, whatever you want to call it.

"I could fix him" well DON'T, I'm trying to breed a new generation of trembling pursedog freakboys and I need his cringefail loser genes.

if skinny ppl get to say things like "squishes/pokes them" and "they are so huggable" about fat characters i get to say "plays the xylophone on them" and "they look so breakable" about skinny characters

im so fucking infuriated at the state of the world. is there no compassion left in anyones hearts. marcellus was murdered by the court for a crime he provably did not commit. so many people called in that they cut off the number, so many people signed, called in, faxed in, sent emails, and no one in this fucked up system even cared. im so angry and distraught. what a miserable fucking world.

reblog this post and see what happens

theres something to be said about the fact that the "music doesnt matter, punk is actually all about being soft and tweeting vaguely leftist things and total pacifism" posers whose beliefs line up far better with the hippie subculture, and how that correlates to the fact that a substantial portion of the reason punk emerged as a subculture in the first place was as a counter against the hippie movement cause a lot of them clocked hippies as liberal yuppies that were full of shit and had no real backbone about the things they claimed to care so much about. interesting...

honestly as a trans woman i think it's completely fair to have alarm bells go off in your head whenever someone talks about "men" in a negative way and think "what if they mean me" because unfortunately a lot of tme people view us as a subcategory of men

if you have this alarm go off when a fellow trans woman says this however then i feel like maybe you should reevaluate either why you feel like your fellow sister would count you among the men she's talking about (and if she does, cut that toxic shit out of your life pronto), or reevaluate your own internalized biases about your fellow sisters. because maybe you are the one who thinks of yourself as a subcategory of men

Listen, I know it's not really my lane here, but I need to say something because Tumblr isn't concerned with a deadly attack in New Orleans that killed between 10 to 15 people last night on Bourbon Street during NYE or so. About 30 were injured, too, and it looks as if it was an almost worse terrorist attack because of IED's they found in the truck responsible. One was found in the French Quarter and detonated by cops.

The far right is already jumping on the blame game to illegal immigrants, especially Trump, but the man from the truck was gunned down after attempting to open fire on police and revealed to be a 42 year old American Vet- however, he seems to have one of "those" names and had an Islamic State flag on his truck, along with a gun with a silencer. FBI thinks he didn't work alone because of the bombs found, and the Airbnb the guy rented was lit on fire.

I'm not talking about this to scare you, however because the majority of Tumblr doesn't give a shit about the south unless it is to point at us and laugh, and I have seen zero posts about it here, I would implore you to do a couple of things

1. If you're in New Orleans or Louisiana, or near borders like i am, please listen to the news. I'm getting mine from AP and CBS.

2. If you know anyone that may have been there, please check in on them. I'm relieved to know two friends of mine in NO are alive and well, but I'm concerned for a couple of others.

3. I think most probably can already guess, but I'd personally get ready for another wave of xenophobia and violence towards vulnerable people that could be affected, the same way it always happens when a non white person does something like this. Take precautions to keep yourself, friends, and family safe, please.

I'll delete this once things finally start circulating here. I'm just trying to get the word out because I almost lost friends to this.
