people that are 20+ and still in their “being an asshole is funney xD r u triggered?????” phase are wild to me. how are you a grown ass adult and still not aware there’s no pride in being the physical manifestation of a headache?
YO. ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAS A CALLBACK TO PLAY ZUKO. He’s a Taiwanese Pacific Islander and he is So excited about what he’s seen/heard from the casting folks so far.
Jumped all the way to Freshman year of High School
Then I cut my hair Junior year, why did I do that
Slowly it started growing back and then….
I finally felt comfortable to express myself (the picture on the left was my debut)
At this point in my transition I am 6 months into HRT
A year on HRT
Over a year and a half on hormones. My transition hasn’t been the clearest path but I am so happy that I am on it.
Update:
2 years since my coming out
2 years on hrt
2.3 years on hrt
2 and a half years on hormones
Its been a while since I’ve done an update so here it goes
At this point I am 3 years into my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I’m thriving.
These pictures were taken days apart and I am 3 and a half years into my medical transition (The picture on the right was also posted by Instagram on all their major social media handles attached with an interview I did with them for International Women’s Month)
During this time I was 4 years into HRT. Clearly living for it.
I am currently 4 and a half years into HRT, 5 years into socially transitioning, 6 years into when i first came out to my community around me and I’m loving life more than I ever thought I would.
Lil mini update!! It’s my 5 years on hormones and I think that’s quite the milestone to be proud of so here’s some pics since the last update.
Can’t wait to see how the next 5 years go!
I will always reblog this post. It’s so heartwarming.
Hey guys, just a quick warning – TF1 have scheduled part 3 of the trilogy ‘Queen’s Battle’ to air before the previous two parts. Obviously if you want to watch it go ahead but please be wary of others who want to watch the episodes in order.
I’ll be watching the episode but I will NOT be posting anything about the episodes (including reblogs of gifs, reactions, etc) until after the previous two parts in the trilogy air.
Obviously this isn’t an ideal situation but it’s the network’s decision not Thomas’ or Zag’s so please don’t interrogate them.
for the record, ‘not feeling anything’ is a valid and not unusual response to trauma or grief
so if you feel empty and devoid of feeling, it’s not because you’re a cold and uncaring person.
Sometimes, not feeling anything is the only way you can cope.
Be prepared for a delayed reaction, too. It’s very common to be totally calm during a crisis, and then days or weeks (or years) later suddenly get hit with a tidal wave of “HOLY SHIT THAT HAPPENED.”
Sometimes your mind waits until it feels safe to start processing things emotionally. It’s a powerful survival strategy, but it can really blindside you, because just as you start to feel like things are okay, you’re overwhelmed by the realization of how not-okay things were before.
This may not happen, and that’s okay too. But it’s something to watch out for when your initial reaction is numbness.
We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.
1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.
2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking
3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.
4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.
5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.
They say they were just “cleaning up the polls” of people who haven’t voted in over three years, but I wonder how many names of people who did vote recently were “accidentally” included in the wipe.
Even if you voted in the last election, please go check your status. These changes happened over the weekend in early September.
If your not registered to vote, register
And if you are registered to vote, keep double checking that this is still the case (And if it’s not, re-register)
I know it’s annoying but it doesn’t take long to do and honestly with all the blatant dirty tricks the Republicans are pulling and their complete disregard for the law it’s better to be safe than sorry…
Can anyone explain to me any real reason to purge voter rolls? Like, it’s one thing if they drop people who haven’t voted in a decade or something. But there’s just no need to do this so much. Except it’s the only way Republicans win. Because they’re corrupt fucks.
Iwillvote.com allows you to check if you are still registered to vote or to registerif you needd to.
the mcdonalds strike against sexual harassment is today
the point is to make the company see that their profits are generated by workers who they are refusing to protect and that they better start addressing sexual harassment or risk losing the cooperation of those workers
the worker’s cooperation only matters to the rich policy makers if a lack of it is destructive to profit, so their strike works better the less profit is made by the company while its occurring
don’t go to micky dee’s today. no one else is gonna help us so we just gotta get creative in demanding consequences for harassers and support each other in doing it
