Basic Fucking Kindness

religion, society, lgtb, oppression "the word "homosexuality" wasnt added in the bible until 1946 [...] the way leviticus 18:22 is truly written is "man shall not lie with young boys as he does with a woman, for it is an abomination" "

language, discrimination, socialization, theory "im gonna say this because its been on my mind for a while: a lot of people on here are ridiculous with why they call posts ableist"

relationships "relationship green lights:"

growth, healing "what we think healing will look like what healing actually looks like"

labels, neurodivergency, mental illness "i really dont like the way that some of you treat an official diagnosis as the Only Way people can be "allowed" or whatever to be adhd/autistic/neurodivergent"

unscheduled post: telegram will start placing ads in this channel. this is outside of the control of this channel's admin. nothing can be done to prevent them from showing here, so do your best to just ignore them, please this channel has a very distinct type of posting, so it should not be hard to distinguish which messages to ignore. usually they will look like a two line long cryptocurrency ad. not everybody will see the ad (they disappear after a number of views) but sadly, some of you will have to see them this channel does NOT approve of neither, the ads, or cryptocurrency as a whole

neurodivergency, society "hot take: AAD, autism, and ADHD are only "disorders" under capitalism. otherwise they are neurodivergence"

socialization, society, theory "mutual aid is a radical act"

medical, invisible problems, chronic pain "doctor: 'dont confuse your google search with my 6 years of medical school' patient: 'dont confuse the one-hour lecture you had on my condition with my 20 years of living with it' "

growth, healing "oh good. i actually need this"

socialization "do you need more water? hes a cactus, i dont think he needs much water hmm even if he doesnt need much we should still ask our low maintenance friends if they're okay"

society, lgtb, minorities "when you're a trans woman, you are made to walk this very fine line, where if you act feminine you are accused of being a parody, but if you act masculine, it is seen as a sign of your true male identity. and if you act sweet and demure, you're accused of reinforcing patriarchal ideals of female passivity, but if you stand up for your own rights and make your voice heard, then you are dismissed as wielding male privilege and entitlement"

socialization, parenting, abuse "i dont know who needs to hear this, but you cant bully someone into acting happier for your comfort"

socialization, relationships, society "genuinely so mad that cuddling is seen as a strictly romantic thing that's so stupid cuddling is awesome and two consenting platonic pals should be allowed to cuddle as much as they want"

socialization "would you like some help? nah, i can do this on my own i know you can but that's not what i asked"

chronic illness, body, mental health "anyone can be tired. you dont need to have kids, work 80 hours a week, have just finished your third degree, or have just recovered from a bad illness. you dont have to prove to anyone why you're exhausted and tired"

society, lgbt, parenting "just occurred to me that of course conservatives who are fearmongering about trans kids think progressive parents must be forcing this on their kids and programming them into accepting it - because that's how they relate to their children, with authoritarianism"

self compassion "it is not an evil thing to look at yourself with kindness. your life was never meant to be a punishment"

self compassion "is it necessary to be the best at my job or to work harder than everyone else? do i really need to achieve huge things in order to make my time here worthwhile? or would it be okay to simply exist, be a good person, and experience life at my own pace?"

relationships, abuse "a relationship that is 10% abusive and 90% awesome, is abusive. if you're tempted to push back on that fact, realize you're in the business of defending what percentage of abuse is "acceptable" in a relationship"
