I Mean, Yes.

Yes, this, especially because finding the relevant INSTANT in a video is such a pain. Let me use my eyes and brain. They're really good at this.

In Prince's funky name, amen.

100% this!

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy.

Yeah, I'd watch this.

is this for anyone? or just me lol

Damn, this is good to know. The weakness of something that relies on reporting from the public.

this has been happening a few times and now twice today that someone in my notes was marked a terf on shinigami eyes and I kneejerked to "oh shit what are YOU doing in my notes" before doing my due diligence and seeing if this is a correct mark and blocking

95% of the time if the url isn't a giveaway, a few keyword searches on their blog will show they're a terf, if not their bio or pinned. but now 4 different people in a week were trans.

I thought okay doesn't mean they aren't a terf so I dig deeper. And all 4 of them were non-exclusionary trans people who had reblogged or posted something recently defending various trans groups who get a lot of shit on tumblr. Trans people talking about transandrophobia, talking about tearing down transmedicalism, accepting trans people with "unconventional" expression/genders, or advocating for intersex folks in a way that challenges popular binaristic ideas on this site

This is wildly disappointing. All four of these people are clearly not terfs, but as I sat here I realized they are groups of trans people who get accused of being a terf by other trans people as a way to silence crucial community conversations that move us past bio and gender essentialism.

I'd urge people to do second looks at blogs marked as anti-trans and verify before just going off of the mark (not just for this but always as a good rule) and I'd hope if you are a trans person who marks trans people as anti-trans for challenging binaries and essentialism, you knock it the fuck off

Well, yeah. It's fine!

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Obviously

The person I reblogged this from deserves happiness and love

It's absolutely the results that count. Even if your soul isn't pure, helping other people is still a good thing.

There is functionally no difference between doing something nice because you actually care and doing something nice because it makes you feel good or because you think you're obligated to.

A charity does not care if you're only donating because your religion says you should; either way, your money is still going to help people. That little old lady next door does not care if you only help her with gardening because being thanked makes you feel good, it's just nice to have some extra hands.

"Fake it til you make it," is a phrase for a reason but it's also okay if you NEVER make it, if you never feel the "correct" emotions behind your actions. Your thoughts and feelings matter considerably less than the impact your actions have on other people.

Okay, but on a standard keyboard, that H is nowhere near the P, C, S or E for that matter... meaning that the drunken slurring of "respect" was done *deliberately.*

Love this.

hope is a skill

It shouldn't have to be said. And yet, here we are.
