“Who is this?!” (via bri.brownie)
Excellent thread.
It’s Time
Exciting news.
This issue was brought to me on my personal Instagram by one of you, and I managed to find a fundraiser for Madras Crocodile Bank Trust. Please share this and if you can, please consider donating!

Don't know why the link broke like this, but this is the fundraiser.
several months ago when we were unhoused tumblr rejected my attempt to blaze a fundraising post (twice). i have despised staff ever since and their advertising gimmicks fill me with rage. if they also fills you with rage, consider helping us DIY blaze this post so we can pay rent next month.
my partner was hired for a contract position around the new year after doing hours of unpaid training for this company, and has yet to be given any actual work or hours. i sell art and apparel online. you can also refer to our other donation post here
we are very much trying but are both struggling. ty to everyone who helped us so far, youre keeping our autistic asses alive
my partner is hedwwig on CA VM & PP
has anyone else ever played the 1 2 3 i’m sorry game? it’s where, after having a falling out w/ a friend or loved one, when you see them again after calming down you count to 3 and both of you say “i’m sorry” at the same time. (best followed by you both respectively acknowledging the things you which you’d done or said differently.)
it’s hard to apologize first when you feel like someone else was also in the wrong, but waiting for someone to apologize is the worst game of chicken. the counting-to-3 thing can be a helpful way of letting someone know you’re ready to mutually accept responsibility and move on, together

tips for what to do after a really long cry because you’re probably feeling all kinds of exhausted and drained and i don’t want that for you in the slightest:
take a shower and change all of your clothes even your socks and underwear. this is the first step to everything.
pour yourself a big, cold glass of water and drink it. all of it. once you’re done, get yourself a refill. this will boost u physically and emotionally instantly please trust me.
grab a snack, something light that you don’t have to wait to prepare. i recommend a pudding cup, a piece of fruit, yogurt, a popsicle, or some crackers.
get under the covers. turn on something - tv, a movie, music, anything distracting. or consider calling a friend or talking to anyone nearby, even your sibling the next room over!!
know that you are loved. you are important. you mean more than you know right now, more than you will maybe ever know. you are worth all the stars in the sky. you deserve to feel good.
Because I just went through the tag and don't see anyone talking about it, wait for the reblog, I'll share a link to a petition asking the K-pop group Dreamcatcher to change their names and stop making merch with "dreamcatchers" on it. I found the petition on Twitter, where it seems to have more traction
Pro-tip to young trans guys:
If a stranger misgenders you, please please please do not ever utter the phrase, “I’m a man.” It sounds very unnatural and immediately sounds overly defensive.
My advice? Just look at the person like they’re an idiot and, in the deepest voice possible, say, “Uh. Alright, then.”
Just act as though they made a huge and obvious mistake, and don’t get flustered. If you’re comfortable with it, handle the situation with humor and say something like, “Man, I know I’ve got a babyface, but I didn’t think it was that bad.”
