I genuinely and with no malice love how we are collectively moving towards this kind of exhausted yet biting satire using what is frankly a completely overexposed form.
My girlfriends family needs money for one of their cats to get surgery. She has had a rough life and this would mean the world to not only the family but Iām pretty sure the cat would be happy too.
Please give anything you can, and if you canāt please re-blog this so it gets around so maybe they can save her.
So many people have donated and are amazing. Thank you guys so much. Everyone who has donated is wonderful and beautiful and we all thank you and bless you with Calvin paw pats.
If you observe the feet of statues from ancient Greece, you will quickly see that they all had what is called a āGreek footā; that is, when the second toe is larger than the big toe. This condition is medically known as the Mortonās toe, and is ubiquitous in every form of art in ancient Greece. But why is that? Here is the story behind the Greek foot.
hey, so my nameās maja, iām from poland and iām asking for help.
iāve been living with severe depression for probably four years as for now. iām gonna keep it short so it wonāt become a sob story: i had to drop out from uni two times, which was extremely painful experience for me. i canāt keep a job, even a part-time one. i struggle with self harm, suicide thoughts and frequent panic attacks (add to it being not-cis, dysphoria and transphobic parents)
i need money for psychiatric appointments, meds and therapy. my parents will help me out with some of it, but my family is really poor, so they can probably only pay for psych appointments and meds, but not for therapy. and i tried being only on meds and i still failed my classes and dropped out lol.
one therapy appointment here cost a little bit more than 25$. if i wanted to go once a week, 100$/month – so itās probably the goal i will try to achieve, but tbh even one dollar would be cool!i hope when my meds kick in (after a few weeks), iāll be able to find and keep a summer job, so i can pay for stuff myself.
tl;dr: severely depressed person needs help with paying for therapy. paypal address: stumilowywood@gmail.com
i know iām still in fairly good situation, i have food, i have a place to live, there are definitely people on here who need money much more than me. i know it may sound kinda pathetic, but i just want my life back.
every time the BBC brings up āobesity in childrenā it just disgusts me? it genuinely makes me fucking ill. I feel like everyones eyes are on me because of it. shut the fuck up, BBC.
okay so yeah. children are āobeseā. children have been ‘obeseā. children will be ‘obeseā.
but centering a report on them/us isnt going to help for multiple reasons. especially when you show clips of a headless ‘obeseā child playing and HAVING FUN during pe. I remember a few years back one of the reporters commented that ‘obesity affects the way you runā. fuck off.
Understand that overweight children probably are being picked on because of their weight, and they still will be when they recognise THEIR OWN BODIES being shamed on NATIONAL TELEVISION by MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE.
Children can be overweight because of their parents – weight has a rate of 77% of being passed on through genes. Donāt forget that.
And why do people focus on fat children? Iāve been fat since I was young and Iāve had virtually no health issues which HAVENāT been related to my weight. In my high school you have skinny teenagers drinking about five energy drinks a day and not exercising. You see them eating and drinking MORE then I do and yet I still get made fun of.
The BBC carrying on reports like these every so often breaks my fucking heart when I think back to when I was younger and wanted to physically cut off every piece of fat and flab on my body, while being forced to diet by my own overweight and emotionally abusive mother (which, side note, DIDNāT work at all), and it scares me knowing that this will be a new reality for some six year old out there.
im uncomf with theĀ ābi women who prioritize women vs. bi women who prioritize menā shit for so many reasons and ive tried to put them into a coherent post for ages but i cant so hereās a list of Feelings i have about it
the only concrete definition ofĀ ābi woman who prioritizes womenā that iāve come across isĀ ābi women who dates women primarily or exclusively (exclusively is better) and definitely is not dating a man at this exact moment in timeā
and look:
if i was going to repress all attraction to all genders except for one iād probably take the path of least resistance andĀ ādecideā to only act on my attraction to men because do you know how much easier my life would be if iĀ āacted straightā? do you know how many people have implicitly or explicitly suggested i do so? do you know how manyĀ āgay celibate mormonā ~inspirational articles have been posted to my facebook feed since i came out?Ā
so like, if that were at all an option for me i think!!! i wouldāve done it by now, i even heavily considered it at one point!!! but it feels like going back into the closet, like hiding part of yourself away so other people can ignore it. itās incredibly damaging to my mental health, and thatās just when iām attracted to women generally, if i actually fell for a specific woman and wanted to be with her?? it would kill me.
and people act like this is different because itās coming from a different direction, itās Radical but itās the same thing, itās just asking me to hide away a different part of myself because it happens to make you uncomfortable
its just political lesbianism by another name because bi women arenāt allowed to call themselves lesbians now but weāre still expected to act like them
and thatās the thing, the whole thing relies on the idea that your attraction is political, that who you date and sleep with and love is a political statement, and itās not!! my entire life is not dictated by politics, iām allowed to do things because i want to and not in service of The Cause.Ā
people act like asking us toĀ āprioritize womenā is so easy, like weāre boycotting men the same way weād boycott a racist movie, instead of asking us to prioritize their politics over our own personal, intimate romantic and sexual desires
like i Get if youāre not attracted to men you think that that attraction is trivial (esp if youāve experienced compulsory heteronormativity and were once convinced that you were attracted to men but realized that attraction was false) but itās not, itās as real and strong as my attraction to women
and you donāt have to understand that, you just have to respect it
the whole thing feels like some kind of violation, like a stranger walked into my home and demanded i started decorating differently, except itās not my home, itās my head and my heart but theyāre so casual about it itās like THEY think itās my home, like an external representation of how i live my life instead of a very personal, intimate representation of my own thoughts and feelings
and ALSO i hate the idea that i need toĀ āprioritizeā women or men, that i need to frame my attraction in terms of social classes instead of in terms of individuals.Ā
if i date a man, and i prioritize him over random women i donāt know, iām not prioritizing men over women, i am prioritizing a loved one over strangers???
similarly, if i date a woman, and i prioritize her over random men i donāt know, thatās not a political statement, thatās justā¦me being a human being and considering the feelings of someone i know and love over someone who has no connection to me?? oh my god
also whatās with the equation between prioritization and romantic relationshipsā¦the person im dating may or may not be more important to me than my platonic friends but if they are itāll be because of my specific relationships with those people, not because romantic relationships are by default the most important relationships in any given personās life
also whatās with the assumption that all bis are monogamous. if a bi woman is dating a man and a woman at the same time, whatās her status?? who is she prioritizing?? We Just Donāt Know
AND what about people who identify as neither a man nor a woman? what about people who identify as both? where does this leave us?
anyway my point is i donāt prioritize women over men OR men over women, i prioritize the people i know and love and my relationships with them over people i donāt know but happen to share a social class with.Ā
which goes back to the politicizing. you can prioritize certain groups in your activism (thereās cases where you shouldnāt, but like, itās a thing that happens) but someoneās dating life isnāt activism and theyāre not obligated to bring their activism into the bedroom.Ā
holy crap, this.
also, like: when i got out of an abusive relationship with a woman, you better damn believe i wanted to date a man again
even though i am more strongly attracted to women
did i āprioritize menā out of trauma? are we even doing that āwell as long as itās TRAUMA then itās OK but otherwise noā thing?
