Happy pride month, don’t lose focus on the movement going on tho. Be gay, do crimes. Be gay, protest. Be gay while supporting black lives matter. You have the range
some of you really, genuinely, unironically think that “cancel culture” is the most toxic thing about the internet and that it actually ends careers…. not a single “victim” of cancel culture has ever faced serious consequences beyond being forced to issue a notes app apology by their pr team. the real problem is stan culture bc it has you same people acting like celebrities are gods that walk among us and can therefore do no wrong. stan culture is the whole reason why cancel culture exists in the first place. if you didn’t put these people on pedestals then you wouldn’t react so wildly to something bad they’ve done
“There are two types of people you will meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that peak their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe unfold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.”
if you’ve taken the steps to recover, whether you started 10 years ago or yesterday, i’m so proud of you. recovery is hard and messy, and a long road filled with twists and turns. sometimes you’ll backtrack and find yourself crying in the shower or spending the whole day in bed - and that’s okay ! nothing worthwhile is without its hardships, and recovering is the one of the most worthwhile things you can do.
no matter what point you are in your recovery, you’re so brave and strong. one day you’ll see the worth and beauty that has existed in you all along. until that day, please know that i and everyone around you already sees it.
No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.
