I told my coworker that I really wanted a baby girl, and she told me all about how raising a girl was so much harder. Because she had 3 boys and 1 girl, and her daughter wanted to be treated like her brothers. She told me all about how she forced her daughter to wear dresses, be pretty, wouldn’t let her cut her hair. She said that when the boys started to be involved in sports, that she did too. So she pushed her into dance classes. And as this went on, it was such a surreal moment. This is why we have so many unhappy, trans, nb teens on our hands. This poor girl.
She wanted to be a person but was forced to be a decoration.
Gender obsessed parents be like: it is so hard to raise a daughter, it is so difficult to completely destroy her personality and then fill her up with vanity and sexism

“I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies”

Growing up my mum had this table in her room as a desk. When they moved to England my parents sawed the legs off, and sat around it with friends and cigarettes and vodka––quite a bit apparently––then they gave it to me and it lived at the end of my bed. I wrote the portfolio of work that got me accepted to university at this table. It’s been in my old room for a few years while I was moving around London a lot but recently I brought it to my flat and having it here is such magic; it’s amazing thinking about how every mark on this wood is my family, sitting around it for all these years, and how we get to continue that. Right now, it’s my workspace 🖤

white people joke so much about “ooohhh don’t open that ancient egyptian tomb you’ll be cursed” or “oohh don’t dig in that indigenous burial ground, you’ll be cursed” but the joke is annoying as hell and acts as if some curse is the worst thing that could happen & not the fact that you are disturbing real, actual human graves that were buried with tender love & care by someone all those years ago. while i know in my head that the joke is ridiculous & annoying. i really do want anyone who disturbs an ancient grave (or ANY GRAVE because this is not an old problem) to be cursed because you deserve it
white people see our dead as either playthings or obstacles with there rarely being an in between lol
while y'all are here go help my friend @cherryblake & their mom out
