A short thing about “weird triggers” inspired by this that I’ll end up deleting later honestly-
You can reblog this but like... don’t fuck around??? I won’t hesitate with the block button on this I swear to fuck I won’t.
Well this doubled in notes in like three hours so... I’m glad other people are finding this validating
remember to take care of yourself <3
the athiesm of women/people of color/lgbt people is absolutely different than the athiesm of cishet white men and i feel like people forget that a lot
how?
Don’t have spoons for long explanation - also this is only speaking for christianity - but religion has been a force of oppression for women, people of color, and lgbt+ people and the rejection of the religion is often coupled with the rejection of how religion treats them.
I’ll also say that abuse survivors are included in this because it is a reaction to and an attempt to reconcile how (christian) god would allow abuse to happen.
For straight white men atheism is usually rooted in intellectual and rational superiority complexes. It’s a “i am more rational and intelligent than you, how can you believe in something so obviously fake” thing as opposed to a reaction to a societal institution that upholds their oppression and abuse.
Women, PoC, Queer people, immigrants, trauma survivors, etc: How can I believe in something that teaches you to be cruel? How can I trust the books that tell me of peace and love, when you use your faith to hurt me? How can a loving god allow [insert injustice of the day]?
White Men: I, as an Intellectual, eschew silly superstitions that say I might, someday, after my death, face one (1) single consequence.
i would rather say "i love you" too much than too little, yk? i would rather yell "i love you" across a parking lot at 8:40 pm than to quietly go home, i would rather scream at my friends that "i love you" before i turn a corner, i would rather live in a world where my friends yell "i love you" back at the top of their lungs because life is so insufferably long but its also so so so short and i just. i would rather tell my people that i love them a ridiculous amount than have them not know,
yk?

I’m so sorry it hurts. It wasn’t fair, what happened to you, and you don’t deserve to feel like that. But you’re not always going to be in pain. Better days are coming dear. You will Heal and be okay one day.
A therapy penguin showing us how to get out of the negative thinking trap of fortune-telling: when we think the future will be really bad, and we can’t do anything about it. In reality, we have more control over our future, and things usually don’t turn out as bad as we fear. ❤️️
“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket

[image description: three images of a digital drawing of a lil siamese cat, against a white background, with a pink speech bubble with black text, that on the first image reads “hello there, friend!”, while the cat waves. on the second image the text continues “are you, by chance, aware of the fact”, and the cat holds a paw to their chest. in the last image, the cat holds up their paws and the text finishes “that i am so proud of you!” with a little red heart.]
i don’t know who needs to hear this but the only way through is to go inward. there is no magic fix to all of your problems because without the necessary healing you will never evolve mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from where you are now. work on the things outside of you, of course, don’t neglect any aspect of your life. but prioritize your inner work, your healing, your growth, your evolution, because without that foundation, nothing can really stand.
I hope in 2020 you get to write that thing you’ve been wanting to write, and you write it amazingly.
westerners are obsessed with the idea of happiness as if it’s a constant state of being. happiness comes in moments. you dont “achieve” happiness. you experience it along with every other emotion on the spectrum. if you spend your life chasing this constructed idea of happiness you will never even be remotely content. work on being whole and feeling everything while increasing the happy moments. stop trying to be a “happy person.” just be a person.
i just got home from seeing birds of prey and i’m just so ANGRY ok like every time i see a movie/tv show written/directed by women, starring women, made for women, i leave the theater feeling so HYPE and SEEN and like i can do ANYTHING and the way women love MATTERS, like hustlers and little women and the witcher made me want to eat the world RAW, and i just feel so much RAGE because this is how men get to feel ALL THE TIME about NEARLY EVERYTHING EVER MADE and they don’t even REALIZE it, they have no idea the world could or should be ANY DIFFERENT no wonder men can be such entitled MONSTERS they think everything is FOR THEM because it IS
yeah a lot of ppl r bad but we also find art in the night sky and tell stories that r passed down from generation 2 generation and we fix each other’s necklaces and save each other’s lives and hug and love rlly hard. the world is scary but there is so so so much good. i promise.
Must scifi be "good"? Is it not enough for the characters to be gay, in space?
This is my only post to break 1k notes let alone 8
Scifi fans share one brain cell that goes "that was good. Be better if they were queer though" don't they huh
