I literally only realised the other day that being called names such as ‘whore’ and being called lazy and fat often by my stepfather is not okay
And that when he’s calling me something I don’t like and I ask him to stop he says he won’t because ‘he can do what he wants because he’s an adult’
I didn’t realise for a long time that wasn’t okay
It's always infuriated me hearing people say that children have it easy. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older and have been able to reflect on my childhood and see the children around me grow up.
They do not have it easy. They don't get a say in most important things. They're seen is unintelligent, yet expected to understand things that full grown adults struggle with.
They've got a job, which is school, that is actually proven to not be working for a lot of them; myself included. They're expected to sit still and in silence for at least forty minutes at a time, and those with ADHD are treated as though they're immature and lazy because they often physically can't do it.
Far too many of them have abusive parents that lie through their teeth to make people think everything is fine, and of course, who would believe the child over the parent?
Aspects of abuse has been normalised. Parents are sympathised with when children open up about the things they've gone through, especially if they're not physical. They're told that their parents are only doing this because they love them, or that the child needs to start seeing things from their point of view. Meanwhile, adults can freely complain about their children on public forums and to friends and family and get away with it because "it's hard being a parent".
Fuck off and do better.

Reblog to show your blog is a safe space, or don't, no bad vibes your way if you don't wanna reblog <3
i spent 3 hours making this today i had to place each box individually
A CAT POSTING ACCOUNT STARTED FOLLOWING ME THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU
my first girlfriend ^^^
OMG I LOVE BUGSNAX THESE ARE SO GOOD WELL DONE
pride flags color picked from bugsnax! lesbian, gay, bi, pan, genderfluid, aro, ace, trans, and nonbinary (ftu w/ credit)
my pizza is overcooked and i can’t find my pizza cutter but don’t worry cause Everything’s Great
why are my mother and father okay and accepting of me being trans… but not my sibling? my sibling is considering transitioning into she/they or they/them and a feminine name, and they’re grilling my sibling about it… but when i transitioned into a male, they were fully accepting of it? they say that just wanting bottom surgery isn’t a good enough reason for having it. just thought i’d share this and see what the internet people think
(my sibling is also… older than me if that’s relevant)
EW WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE FORMAT.
tumblr did a thing
The title should've read transmasc, but now it won't let me change it. Bother.
Anyway, pretty much what it says on the tin. I haven't felt safe living where I do for Some Time Now, and I have a great opportunity to move somewhere better, but I don't currently have the money for a cross-country move.
As things stand, I'd rather not pay rent on a room I'm not occupying while I save up moving money, but if that's the only option, that's what I'll do, because it's more or less impossible to find rent this good in the Bay Area. It just won't make me any safer in the short term, and not getting medical treatment because I feel unsafe around the medical transportation folks isn't a great long-term strategy.
While I can't offer incentives to donate on the GoFundMe site, I'm happy to offer 3-card tarot readings for every donation of $10 or more, 5-card readings for $15 or more, and bigger and more complicated readings for anything $30 and above, so long as you're not asking for a relationship spread for your 7-person polycule. (If you really want polycule readings, donate over $100 and we'll talk, but for anything more than a triad, readings get exponentially more complicated.) I have multiple queer/BIPOC-friendly decks, and one that is aggressively body-positive. If you're looking for a specific vibe, let me know, because I can probably at least get close to what you're looking for, deck-wise. (I also have a couple of decks that differ from the standard tarot template, like the Normal Tarot and the Alleyman's Tarot.)
I would really love to live somewhere with IRL community and public transportation and not feeling like the only trans person for miles. That said, if you stumble across a fundraiser for someone who needs food or rent Right The Fuck Now, please donate to them instead... but also please consider giving this a reblog if you can't toss any money my way.
Thanks, everybody.
