There is an absolutely infuriating trend of city queers assuming that no queer person could possibly want to stay and live and establish a home in a rural community, and none of us could possibly have a vested interest in staying and improving the communities we already live in. They act like all of us dream of moving to Portland or Seattle or the Bay Area or some other gentrified-to-fuck, capitalist-nightmare-with-a-shitty-rainbow-facade city, and to hell with our icky redneck homes.
I'm tired of the kind of people who come on tumblr to reblog endless stuff about how much they want to live a cottagecore life, while also being aggressively classist toward poor, rural, working-class queer folks who genuinely love their homes and communities and are making the best of dangerous situations.

“female characters often have weaker writing compared to male characters” and “audience is unable to appreciate female characters no matter the quality of the writing because they subconsciously see female characters as women first and people second” are two statements that can, should and will coexist
For anyone who sleeps a ton!! Depressed ppl chronically fatigued folk, and fellow narcoleptics:
You need to be brushing your teeth more than the average person to prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease.
This is because saliva production is much more active when you're awake than when you're asleep. Ever woke up with a dry mouth? That's why. Saliva protects our teeth from the acid our mouths naturally produce. Less saliva means less defense against than acid, which can break down the protective layer of tooth enamel.
So! Us chronically sleeping ppl need to be brushing our teeth more to balance out the fact that we're sleeping more.
a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair
a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time
a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for her but herself
a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive
not everything that is empowering for white girls is empowering for black girls
the sexism we face overlaps, but it is not the same
