The REGALIA, the beauty, the pride. Yes little sisters!
if I don’t reboot this, assume I’m dead
It’s so weird how sometimes when I read a poem it just feels like a bunch of words and sometimes when I read a poem it feels like someone ripping my heart out of my body and throwing it at my face at 90 mph
disabled adults who are still living at home with their parents because they’re unable to live on their own—whether it’s temporary or permanent, whether they’re working or not working—don’t deserve to be looked down on or made to feel like they’re not doing enough or aren’t good enough. what they deserve is support, love, understanding, and respect. 💜💛
Yeah, that doesn't prevent pregnancy.
Dfgajagakala it’s so you don’t get a UTI 😂
*facepalm* So, given that sex ed in the US is a tire fire:
Vagina-having people have a shorter urethra, which means we’re more prone to UTIs because the bacteria doesn’t have to travel as far to get up into your bladder and cause a problem.
Which means if you’re exposing your bits to bacteria (as with sex), peeing will flush out bacteria in the urethra. (Urine isn’t actually sterile - that’s a myth - but you’re *supposed to* have a little bit of bacteria - that’s how bodies work. But it still flushes things out that shouldn’t be there.)
Oh! You should ALSO pee after you masturbate, especially if it involves penetration with fingers/toys/etc
So I’ve blocked like five transphobes on this post, which I feel should have been relatively uncontroversial.
If you’re one of the people saying “You meant ‘women’”, fuck you. I meant “people who have a vagina, regardless of their gender or lack thereof”, and you can go fuck yourself with a cactus.
And you should pee afterward, so you don’t get a UTI.

alternative depression tips for when you read the ‘depression tips’ post and laugh hollowly, bc only in your fondest dreams could you manage to do any of those things
- dry shampoo and face wipes are your friend. if you can brush your teeth you’ll feel maybe 2% less disgusting. wash your hands.
- smelling nice is gr9, rubbing moisturiser in is Exhausting. perfume, scented candles and linen sprays are way quicker.
- try to change your clothes at least every other day. wear sweats or pjs as often as you physically can.
- you don’t need to put on underwear if you’re not leaving the house (that goes double for bras and binders)
- drink any water that hasn’t been sitting out on your desk for a week. dust doesn’t taste good. stay hydrated. I fill one of those 2 litre bottles in the morning and keep it with me so I don’t have to get up and walk to the sink.
- re: cleaning, try and keep one room vaguely clean. if everywhere else is a shit hole that’s fine, but you can go sit in your one tidy space and chill for a bit. it’s fine if that’s the bathroom or just the corner of your bedroom where there’s no crap on the floor. find a tiny space that isn’t horrifying and sit in it.
- music helps.
- eat a thing. +5 points if it has a fresh fruit or vegetable in it. take out is acceptable if it comes with veggies.
- if your creativity curled up and died a long time ago try and find something that at least reminds you what it was like to feel inspired. watch a film, look at some art (probably not your own), read a thing. if that makes you feel worse, just?? don’t think about it??
- grounding yourself is actually really helpful. open the window and breathe for 2 minutes. lay down on the floor and feel your whole body (unless you don’t want to in which case: lay down and don’t feel anything except the floor)
- human interaction is Good. text a family member you don’t hate if you have one. message a friend. reply to someone’s personal post with ‘SAME’. make your own personal post asking the void for validation. stare out the window at people and remind yourself that life exists outside of the black space inside your head. whatever works.
- pets are amazing, agreed. watch some funny animal vines if you don’t have one.
My bummy ass seriously needed this 2 fucking days ago
I keep full glasses of water around the house. It drives my family nuts but sometimes it helps to prepare it ahead of time and drink the closest one whenever I remember I need water.
not to be a lesbian on main but I want to be in the Old West and make meals for the cowhands when they come home and when the toughest most badass cowgirl comes to grab her serving I look at her calloused hands and see a deep gash so I immediately go bandage her up even though she protests it’s just a scratch and I rip off some of my petticoat to make a bandage and she looks away blushing and as I tie it firmly around the wound I tell her she has to be more careful because it would be a damn shame to lose those hands of hers around here and she blushes again but she maintains eye contact this time and keeps her hand in mine and softly says “yes ma’am”
It’s not just okay to be sensitive. It’s beautiful to be sensitive. It’s beautiful to be aware and feel deeply. It’s beautiful to love with all your heart and be giving.
being bipolar is wild when you feel okay you feel like you’ve been faking the whole time when you’re depressed you forget you’ve ever felt anything different and when you’re manic the idea of you being mentally ill is absurd because you’re ready to fight god
