Halp.

Need some help covering bills this month. Car inspection, oil change, and registration renewal/vehicle tax, on top of all the usual bills, means I'm in a pretty sticky spot.

Any help will be hugely appreciated.

this right here is why radfem lesbians are absolutely baffling to me. like they know the majority of their community doesn’t share their shitty beliefs right? most lesbians are NOT transphobic, most lesbians do NOT agree with them. just something to consider

(it is important to note that the group they surveyed was small, but this is definitely not the first time i’ve seen a study come to this conclusion, and a larger report will be released in june!)

Trans Day of Visibility: Most anti-trans adults don’t know anyone trans
Most anti-trans young adults don’t even know a trans person, according to research by Just Like Us released on Trans Day of Visibility.

Text ID1: Of the 89 per cent of LGBTQ+ young adults who said they were supportive of trans people, lesbians were most likely to say they both know a trans person (92 per cent) and express support for trans people (96 per cent). End ID.

Text ID2: “I’m also delighted to see that lesbians are by far the most supportive of trans people. As a lesbian myself, I know just how supportive our community is towards our trans siblings and it’s fantastic to finally have the evidence to demonstrate this -- lesbians and trans people stand in solidarity together. We always have done.” End ID.

This is your reminder that the vocal minority of bigots within the queer community do not speak for the rest of us

The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

This is a powerful positive message..

I’m literally reading a book right now (Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski) that says this is scientifically sound.

There have been studies done on rats and dogs where they develop learned helplessness in the animals by giving them impossible tasks. Eventually the animals stop trying, even when the task stops being impossible. (I.e. put a rat in a maze with cheese it can’t get to until it develops learned helplessness, then put the cheese somewhere it can get to it and it won’t even try.) But once they show the animals they CAN do something - i.e. physically moving the rat to the cheese - the learned helplessness goes away.

No one can move you to your cheese for you, but the book says DOING something - which they define as “anything that isn’t nothing” can help. Make a food. Work in the garden. Clean a thing. Do a favor for a friend. Call your elected officials.

Knit a sock.

If you feel overwhelmed by existential despair, do something. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be anything that isn’t nothing.

This is really good advice for ADHD people because when executive dysfunction gets bad it’s easy to fall into this pattern of thinking. Do just one thing. It doesn’t have to be your homework, or a chore. It can be something small, it can be something you enjoy. But do just one thing to remind yourself that you can.

This is what “humans want to be productive” really means

We want to make things. We want to do something and at the end of the process see that something has changed. We want physical proof that we did something. We want to be able to point at something and say “I made this”. We want to be creators
