"The world isn't kind"

Not yet it isn't
Then we must be.
And you're gonna let it tell you how to act?
Well if the world jumped off a cliff, would you?
I don't see how that's my fault
only because people use that excuse
We are all part of the world. Every act of kindness is the world being kind.

And, my personal favorite:

...So?

Anonymous asked:

How do you get the courage to transition/come out? Right now I'm studying at a small college and I just feel a crippling lack of anonymity. The idea of coming out to my teachers or classmates, or even being recognized by people who knew me as a guy, feels so extraordinarily terrifying and shameful. I'm so terrified of attention in that regard, especially if it's negative. I know that it's a bad idea to wait for a better situation, but I just never got over caring about how people perceive me and the idea of transitioning is legitimately paralyzingly scary. I feel like I just need someone to force me to.

estrogenesis-eeveeangelion answered:

anon, i love you. this shit is hard and i know the feelings you are talking about. i wish i had better news for you, but nobody is going to force you. in fact pretty much every institution and cultural norm on earth as well as the existing biases of probably a majority of people everywhere are all inclined toward discouraging you from doing this.

but estrogenesis, i hear you cry, that's not encouraging at all. it isn't. but i have good news too. you wouldn't be asking me this if you weren't already sure that this is something that you want and need. the hardest part -- not knowing -- is over. i understand the impulse to look around you and wish that it looked less like an uphill battle, and to fixate on the pushback you will probably get from outside. but the solution isn't going to come from reducing that pushback, it's going to come from overcoming it.

you are, understandably, intimidated. but the thing is, you're only looking outward. my advice to you is to look inside. do you want this? i think you do. do you love yourself enough to decide that you deserve it? do you love yourself enough to say that it's yours, that everything that comes with it is yours? you will never move forward if you are waiting for anybody to give you permission because on this bitch earth? they never, ever will. you have to love yourself so much that you can decide that you have a right to this and you'll be god damned if anybody's going to stop you. you're not seeking their permission, you are doing your fucking thing and anybody who doesn't understand can get the fuck out the way.

i wish i had a better answer to "how do i get over caring about how people perceive me" than "you just have to love yourself so incandescently that they can't even cast a shadow in your direction" but that's basically it. take some time, mourn the idea that everybody's gonna like you, and then put on some 2024 kendrick lamar & make up your mind that anyone who isn't on board is dead to you. that's the best advice ive got. i love you.

it sucks that even todo lists get affected by the adhd 'absorption of stationary objects into their environment thus leading to effective invisibility' thing

cookiethebirdthing

yeah my to-do list is empty. what do you mean "what about those five items?" those are just part of the ui obviously

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

copepods

@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

It's free slug

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

i need pepple to understand that in the first place leather has always been made from the byproducts of butchering animals for meat, otherwise the skin is just tossed and unused. there were some companies farming for leather for a while, particuarly alligator leather, but those were not the norm. peta did so much harm in their campaigns against leather as a concept (its not unethical. yoi get the skin when an animal dies. thats why most leather clothes in the usa are cow leather, bc thats the biggest meat animal here) that its almost impossible to buy anything "leather" that isnt made of plastic that it so fragile and shitty that the very Thread Holding It Together rips the fibers apart. it will last for maybe a year two if youre lucky, and wont biodegrade and was made out of something that isnt naturally occurring in the first place and is one of the biggest causes of pollution globally

i do not care if you personally think nobody should slaughter or eat animals, it is Going to happen anyway. you cannot be so obtuse thst you think making more plastic that causes pollution endless damage to the animals you claim to care about so much is better than omnivorous human beings eating other animals and using their bodies completely.
