femmederqueer: pleasestopbeingsad: Street harassment is not a compliment. Yo, okay so I am not often street harassed, but I would take the third-from last panel to also be inappropriate, as a general rule of thumb.  “Lovely” to me does not have a very strong separation from “sexy.”  I don’t know, “you look so happy!” or “I like your outfit!” might be more appropriate?  but as a general rule of thumb, if you are a man, maybe don’t offer unsolicited comments on womens’ appearance.  I am maab but not cis male, but I will often be perceived as such, so my general rule is “only compliment strangers [particularly women] if what I am complimenting them on is something that is also true of me.”  I will only compliment their neon hair if my hair is also, at the time, neon (there is a weird culture of neon-haired people going out of their way to compliment each other), or I will only compliment someone’s nail polish if mine are also painted and I make that readily apparent.  So that the overall takeaway is not “hey I like the way you look ;)” but “hey, we have the same sense of style, because we are both amazing!” Do tell me, though, if that isn’t a good general rule.  I am sorta winging it.

buttlid: dutchbag: babyslime: cyprith: basedgaben: garconniere: tothecabaret: 1930’s Teen Delinquents i.e. life role models I’m just gonna reblog this again because it’s one of my favorite pictures ever. That girl in the chair seems like such a badass I bet she was the leader of the crew. I want to write about these girls. When I was a teenager my mother found my grandmother’s (her mother) school scrapbook. It included things like photos, notes, and a two page spread of every demerit she ever received over the course of her formal education. Each of them set aside with little tags like she was so fucking proud of them. They were all for things like, “Unladylike behavior” or, “Skirt too short” or, “refuses to listen to authority”. I loved that spread so much. I always have to reblog this. i would’ve dated the shit outta the babe in the chairu beautiful ppl

Nothing good comes of depression.

At least if you have a tangible disease, you get some sympathy.

But damn, with depression, people just tell you to get over it. Your struggle is never recognized. In fact, it’s beaten down so much that you hide it from everybody. At least I do.

I’ve had depression so long that I don’t even know how to define myself differently anymore.

I’m so afraid to even try to “get better”. I don’t think I’ll be any good at it. Part of me, most of me even, doesn’t even think I deserve to be happy.
