Basic Fucking Kindness

self compassion, society, body "do i like my legs smooth? or do i just want to wear shorts without getting weird looks? do i need support? or am i just uncomfortable when people stare at my nipples? do i like long hair? or am i just worried about appearing less femenine? would it be so scary to not care at all?"

unscheduled post family, socialization, self compassion, abuse "holiday rules: 1. do not go into debt trying to show people you love them 2. do not go home to see family if it damages your mental health 3. if someone comments on your weight, eat them"

mental illness, socialization, invisible problems, depression, chronic fatigue "depressed person: [exists] person thats never experienced clinical depression before: have you tried doing this extremely long list of things that you definitely dont have the energy to do to cheer up?"

labels, lgbt "something people really need to accept is that fluidity is present in everyone. you may not identify the same way you did five years ago, one year ago, even last week"

discrimination, minorities "you dont get to decide that a group of people dont face any discrimination because you dont think they do"

boundaries, socialization " "you only got one family" yeah you only got one appendix too but when it fucks with your health you cut that bitch out of your life"

self compassion "in a society that profits from self doubt, loving yourself is a rebellious act"

socialization, boundaries, relationships "if you ever date an asexual person be sure to get the specifics of their asexuality because the level of comfort is different for all of us [...] permission once is not permission forever no matter your sexuality"

housing "millenials are spoiled! should i pay rent or eat? [...] ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR RENT"

boundaries, socialization "you can love someone AND put space between you you can forgive someone AND refuse to let them back in you can have boundaries AND keep people close you can put yourself first AND give back to others life is not black and white"

body, socialization, society "fat shaming children does not create thin adults. it creates adults who have a really messed-up relationship with their bodies"

socialization, boundaries "what i say what they hear what i mean"
