I love kids so much. Yall are so brave and so strong. Sometimes i remember being a kid, and I have no idea how I survived. You have so little agency, so few rights, the world at large dismisses your thoughts and passions and tells you that you don't know what you're talking about, too young to feel your feelings. You're totally reliant on parents or guardians or other authorities who may choose not to respect or listen to you, who may use you as a target for their anger and frustration, who do awful things and tell you to "just deal with it", and you do, because there are so few other options. You're living in a world that refuses to treat you as a human being, and you're putting up with it. You're dealing with so much bullshit. It's amazing that you haven't just snapped. If nobody has told you recently, You're doing amazing. I'm so proud of you. You're going to get out of this and it'll all be okay. You're doing great
the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
This is just as relevant for tumblr as for twitter, so I share it here. Fully agree

I'm not gonna lie the slightest possibility of witnessing the dissolution of the british monarchy and reunification of ireland in my lifetime has jumpstarted my will to live
im isobel and i hate to do this but kind im of fucked rn, im unemployed, no jobs have gotten back to me in like 3 months and i’m struggling to keep the lights on and gas in my car let alone food for myself. debt and bills are starting to pile up on top of everyday life maintenance and ive been making the choice to go to bed hungry rather than risk any more losses.
im trying my hardest to get out of the state or at least to secure some kind of employment to start getting to the point where i can. its an “anything helps” type situation but i’m shooting for 200 for food and utilities
please please please reblog and if its possible for you to donate a little i'd appreciate it a lot
