#sent to conversion therapy

Reasons I'll like but not reblog an artist's art:

1. I am, it's just in a queue

2. It's art I really like, I just don't want it on my blog (which is just an archive for posts I want to go back and look at later)

3. It's something I like but don't really understand the context of like a fandom I'm unfamiliar with or OCs and don't want to reblog because it makes tagging difficult which messes up my organization

4. It would go on a blog (either main or side) where I have no followers and don't have the blog TO gain followers or communicate with and it literally would not spread to anyone for that reason

5. I've been on this site for 8 years and even then have memory issues and use likes as a way to mark what posts I have and haven't already seen/reblogged

6. And the one you want to hear the least: yeah. Sometimes art is nice enough for a like but not a reblog. It's called preferences. It's not a matter of technical skill or effort put into the piece or fandom they're not in or whatever. Sometimes you just don't vibe with something that much. That is NORMAL. A like and no reblog there shows, at least for me, "hey I can appreciate the concept behind it/technical skill/etc" but I won't reblog because for some other reason I just don't like it enough to have it on my blog. If the idea that not everyone will like your art enough to show it around to your friends is that big of a blow to your ego then you need to stop posting it because that is EXTREMELY unhealthy. It does you no good and only serves to ruin your relationship with your art. Stop

I have had it with this likescolding. “Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm so likes don’t actually do anything” motherfucker I am not clicking that heart to give some post better ~algorithmic visibility~ I am clicking that heart to help my internet friend microdose on serotonin as god fucking intended

The funniest LGBT+ headcanon for Nat, which is also the only one I have for Nat, is that she's bi but she doesn't like anyone on her team like that.

men are so goddamn fucking infuriating!!!!!!!!!!!! we were sharing examples of gender based discrimination in our own lives in sociology class and one guys example was how he works as a caregiver for children and people think hes a pedo when he takes the kids to the park. another was a GUY who is STUDYING to become a FUCKING MIDWIFE and he was saying how so many people dont want men to be in the field of midwivery and how thats oh so hard for him :( WOMEN DONT WANT YOU. DO SOMETHING ELSE

[kirabasai]

y'all my mom asked me to travel w her this weekend because she didn't wanna travel alone and like. we have a rough relationship but i'm a girl's girl u know i didn't bother asking where she was going i was like yeah sure. cause i'm a girl's girl.

turns out we're flying to a trump rally.

she got me shirts and everything.

i'm literally a genderfluid lesbian (who is never a guy if anybody wants to start shit abt that). i dress alt most the time. i literally AM alt i listen to rock and shit. fuck two of my celebrity crushes r shin ryujin and emma watson i don't know how much gayer that can get. i don't even LIKE politicians or politics in general because i believe all power inevitably corrupts.

literally going to a rally to a man that fucking hates ppl like me dear god how am i supposed to gaslight gatekeep girlboss my wa out of this

on the bright side however i can at least style the women for trump t shirt (she wants me to wear this one to the airport) so it just says women. however the actual trump rally.... hhh

yall this is literally so tragic i might make a tiktok abt this

thanks for that post. 10 years of medical training, humiliation and exams, followed by lack of employment due to cutbacks to healthcare, just so I can read your reblogged little post about how doctors say they know everything and humiliate patients. And the notes about how all doctors do is tell people they're fat. Which of course is the truth 100% of the time. Right. Great. Good to know nothing I ever did amounted to anything, that my own generation hates me. Thanks for that, thanks for the anxiety attack, for making me cry on the bus home, you shitbrick. There's no good doctors, mate, you're absolutely right. This doesn't hurt anyone, we don't try to go into this field because we care, because we want to help. We just want power and money, right? Because we're famously overpaid, us the doctors? True, right? Love and peace. I wish you the best. I'm going to fucking kill myself

crazy how you’re studying to become a doctor when you can’t read

Shit is getting too real for my liking

hmmm looked it up and it looks very difficult to persuade a court in a sibling custody case without evidence of neglect or physical abuse. i did not want to press a physical abuse axis in charlie and the vampos because the emphasis was supposed to be the prevalence of abuse in non-tangible ways. but i dont think running away bc your parents want to send you to conversion therapy, like, counts in the eyes of the law.

The Wednesday conversion therapy analogy was clumsy, definitely. But the way people are talking about it is making me somewhat uncomfortable as an aroace person, because aspec people are and were designated late bloomers and sent to conversion therapy too. And that is very easily connected with what Enid's parents are trying to do to her. It was clumsy. But it wasn't entirely off base and there are queer people who've had roughly that experience, so please be mindful of them when you criticise it because it IS some people's experience.

Mania has me by the throat, and it is slamming my face against the table over and over and over 🙃
