I tried Lineless art—

kicks open the swinging doors to ur saloon wearin THESE

I spent three weeks in a mental hospital and what I discovered there I feel like should be put into words.

we are not who you think we are.

the boy with turrets told the funniest jokes

the girl who raked her nails up and down her skin could create the most exquisite drawings

the girl who abused drugs had the wisest soul

the boy with schizophrenia had the biggest heart

the girl who tried to kill herself told the boy with insomnia stories to help lure him to sleep

the boy who wanted to kill himself had the deepest passion for cooking

the girl with slits and scars all over her body dried my tears and told me I was beautiful

the boy with anger issues gave the warmest hugs

the girl with bulimia told everyone every day that they looked beautiful in their bodies

the boy who was a compulsive liar told us that he wanted us all to get better, and that he was for once telling the truth

the girl who almost drank herself to death stood up for anyone that felt they were feeling bullied

the boy with social anxiety made sure nobody sat alone at meals

we are not who you think we are.

*slams reblog button*

*breaks phone with reblog button*

When I was there..

The boy who almost killed himself was one of the smartest people I’ve ever met

The boy with anger issues gave everyone hugs, we called him “Teddy Bear”

The girl with PTSD told jokes to cheer everyone up

The girl who was abused by a “boyfriend”(”pimped out”) was very wise and made sure I wasn’t nervous

The girl with anorexia showed me ways of making food more enjoyable

Everyone was so nice to everyone else, really

I’VE BEEN SEARCHING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS POST AND I FINALLY FOUND IT❤❤❤

People are people and illnesses don’t define us

I want this. Please

This image hurts my brain more than the original debate ever did. Brains are dumb.

i wanted to like make sure this was legit and stuff so i took a section of the left and stretched it over to the right and jesus fuck

rb for the last pic being the best demonstration by far

Roast the fuck out of them. Being family doesn’t mean you ever have to be okay with that shit.

*slow clapping at the dad*

every woman on tumblr should have this on their dash

And every man

Look how nobody’s yelling or arguing or making things into a competition. Look how this is to straight up educate people through a different perspective. Look how effective that makes the message.

The last one really hit me. I never really thought about something like that could actually impact a woman’s life. Damn…

she loves play rehearsal!!

NURSING WOUNDS, NURSING WOMBS WILL BE UPLOADED TOMORROW

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I just… wanna remind people that asexuality was classed as a mental disorder by the DSM all the way up until 2013…. Because I feel like people don’t know this or like to ignore it because it doesn’t fit into their “asexual people don’t face discrimination” rhetoric.

Asexuality was only removed from the DSM in 2013. Please, know this and remember it.

asexuality is STILL in the DSM they still have a disorder that’s literally the definition of asexuality called “hypoactive sexual desire disorder” which is what they’ve always classified asexuality as. they just added a clause that said “if the patient IDs as ace it’s fine” but it’s not like the general population knows what asexuality is and people want to complain about how visibility is such a high priority for us jesus christ

thats a very good point. i knew about that distinction, but it bears repeating for people that see this post and arent aware of it

And that’s why we need the queer community to be like ‘no really we exist and it isn’t hurtful it’s quite fine they belong here with us, the other queers, who were just de-pathologized.’ 

*bang gavel*

I was going to college and grad school when the fight over this diagnosis being included in the DSM-V was going on. 

If I remember correctly, the big push to keep it in the DSM came from the pharmaceutical companies who need this diagnosis to exist so that they can market a drug they are currently working on to treat “female sexual interest/arousal disorder”. 

This diagnosis is so fucked up. It not only pathologizes Asexuals, it also pathologizes non-asexual women for having less interest in sex than men. This disorder literally used to be called “Frigidity” and feminist psychologists had to fight like hell to get the DSM to clarify that simply having a lower sex drive than one’s husband was not sufficient for a diagnosis. 

The APA throws in that little disclaimer about being a “self-identified asexual” and the diagnostic criteria of distress, but they did the same thing before they removed homosexuality from the DSM. 

A lot of people think that psychologists stopped considering homosexuality a disorder in the 1970s, but that’s not entirely true. They kept it in the DSM with a slightly changed name and a criteria that the person experience distress about being gay. This was used to justify “reparative therapy” for decades. 

This diagnosis is just one part of the APA’s long history of pathologizing human sexuality, especially women’s sexuality. Women who deviate even slightly from the prescribed amount of sexual interest will find themselves labeled as either borderline or frigid. 

Continued reminder that asexuality is still only listed in the desk version of DSM-V, and that many countries either use the ICD or an outdated version of the DSM.

Listen for a second

A forest fire - possibly caused by lightening - just killed at least 62 people and injured 59 more in Portugal. That’s my country.

As is usual, when tragedies happen in Portugal only Portuguese and Brazilian people seem to care, but I really need to make a point right now.

We are a country that used to have the nicest weather. We had winters that never got too cold and we had summers that never got too hot. However, it’s not even officially summer and we’re already facing 40-45 ºC temperatures. This is NOT normal for us.

These high temperatures (in a country full of woods and vegetation) are the reason our wildfires are so hard to put down and destroy everything in their path.

At least 62 people died today. Again, possibly because of lightening in an overheated country. Don’t any of you ever try to tell me global warming is a myth. Ever.

If you can’t read my horrible handwriting: I’m having top surgery in November! But it’s like… really fucking expensive and insurance won’t cover it!! Fuck!!

I need a ton of help. Follow the links to donate or commission me, whatever grabs you. And even if you can’t spare the cash right now, that’s okay! Maybe just give this post a reblog or two?? Love you.
