Uh oh it’s the problem women!

a more serious comic, about depression

[Image ID: Four black-and-white comics composed of four panels each, depicting a stylized long-haired person with a small leafy sprout from their head going about their day. Text reads:

“I took a shower late last night. As I stood there, I thought about the next morning. ‘I have to get up at a normal time. I can’t stay in bed all morning again. I need to get up tomorrow morning. I need to because it shouldn’t be hard. I’ll feel pathetic if I don’t. WHY DO I STRUGGLE WITH SOMETHING SO EASY?’

That’s when I felt like I heard a voice say: ‘Don’t do it out of guilt, do it for yourself. Do it for your plants that need the sun. Do it for the coffee. Do it for your cat, who just wants to cuddle. Do it for all the things you have yet to create. Do it because you know how much better you’ll feel when you do. Your struggle is already hard and your burden is already heavy. Don’t start your fight by pressing knives to your throat.’

I slowly realized I’d been starting my mornings with verbal abuse. And how that self-harm had invalidated what small accomplishments I made.

I got up this morning. It was still hard. But I got up this morning and I did it for myself.” Signature: MK/RET ‘20. End ID.]

i was trying to visually represent spock’s life in relation to jim and instead just make myself sad

thank you @blipityblopityyy for making it even worse!!!!

[ID: Image one is a stacked bar graph titled "spock's life". The left axis is titled "entire life", and the x-axis is labeled by years. A yellow section, for "before jim," lasts from birth to around 32 years. The orange section, "with jim," lasts from 32 to around 65 years. The pink section, "wearing pendant of jim around his neck," goes from 65 to just over 150 years.

Image two is a screenshot of tags by @/blipityblopityyy that read: "#Where's the thing that says 'I will grieve you longer than I have known you cuz this is that but in graph form." Image three is a poem which reads:

The last image is a gif of an animal biting a railing, captioned "(screams)". End ID]

i always convince myself i dont sound that weird and then i go out in the world and get involved in anything longer than transactional small talk and its like ohhh thats right ive only been hanging out with gay people who speak in riddles

peac & love on planet earth

Trans lesbian feminist Beth Elliot’s response to TERFs who attacked her at the West Coast Lesbian Conference, 1973 (x)

Since it’s LGBT history month it’s a good time to bring this back, with a minor correction- her surname is actually Elliott, with two t’s

Also here’s a photo of Beth from around the time she performed at the conference-

Back when TERFs were barely a thing, when as a movement they were only just coming into existence, one of the first trans woman to be confronted with their shit already looked at them and realized that TERFs make damn good fascists. It has been that obvious this whole time.

like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.

Like music to my ears

I was looking at seagull stickers for my instagram story and I came across seagulls saying supportive things like "You matter! <3" and that's the first time I've gone "He would not fucking say that" over an animal. These birds are fueled by spite. They would yell slurs if they could. Not even the right ones. A seagull would call an old lady a faggot they don't care

hedonism is good actually rich people just suck at it

i think not only do we have a moral obligation to preserve human life but also a moral obligation to maximize the pleasure of others and ourselves (provided it doesn’t hurt anyone)

people don’t just deserve to eat food, they deserve to eat good food that tastes good without worrying about nutritional content

people don’t just deserve clothes, they deserve nice clothes that are well made and fit their personal style

people don’t just deserve the bare minimum, they don’t just deserve to be alive, they deserve to live and have nice things for no other reason than making that particular person happy
