When I was 10, my mom made me wear a bra and it felt like a punishment for being different.
When I was 10, I took the bra off when changing for gymnastics and accidentally dropped it in the school hallway. A teacher picked it up and said, “Oh, this must belong to you” and handed it back to me in front of everyone. I quit gymnastics.
When I was 11, I thought maybe the boobs would be okay so long as they didn’t get any bigger than would fit in my hand, so I kept measuring it, but they did.
When I was 12, I started wearing two or three sports bras to smush them down, until one day a classmate said, “Are you wearing two bras?!” while laughing.
When I was 13, a boy told me he wanted to squeeze my boobs “until they popped.”
When I was 14, I got cast in a play as an older character and a classmate told me I got the role because I had boobs.
When I was 17, my mom told me to return a swimsuit because it would be too distracting for my boyfriend’s father.
When I was 21, I got properly fitted for a bra and everyone felt the need to tell me how much better my boobs looked.
When I was 26, I got pregnant and my immediate fear was that my boobs would get bigger.
When I was 28, I got shamed for trying to feed my screaming baby in public without a cover.
When I was 28, people asked me “why are you bothering to use a breastfeeding cover?”
When I was 30, people gave me weird looks that I wasn’t yelling at my kid for putting their hand on my boob.
When I was 31, I avoided going to the beach or pool because I didn’t want to have to deal with boobs in a swimsuit.
When I was 32, I got asked, again, “why don’t you get a breast reduction?”
When I was 33, I watched a 5yo girl get shamed for running around in sweltering heat without a shirt on and had to reprimand a bunch of tween boys who thought it was okay to shame her for doing something they do all the time.
When I was 34, my kid kept patting my breast and saying “Mommy’s squishy breast!!” They will never see me express any shame about tits, because I want them to have a different mindset than I had. Yes, boobs are nice! They’re squishy! They’re fun! That’s the end of that.
I’m 35 and no longer give a fuck. I don’t care anymore. As a teenager my tits were covered in stretch marks. They’ve been engorged with milk. My nipple changed shape with pregnancy. Give it another couple decades and my breasts will probably be all wrinkly. It’s sexual when I’m using it sexually. I don’t fucking care, and I won’t be ashamed anymore.
Every time a policy or cultural hangup treats people with breasts differently, it fucks us over.
Tumblr’s new policy makes an active choice to participate in this culture of shame. By classifying “female-presenting nipples” as explicit material, Tumblr has taken a stance that any chest or breast that differs from a male default is worthy of shame and unavoidably sexual. The idea that breasts are shameful and unavoidably sexual is exactly what fucked me up for so much of my life.
Stop shaming people for having bodies.
I’ve been seething in rage thinking of this all day and @aibidil put into words what was reeling in my mind.
One, She’d be very interested in King’s round record and see if she can beat it because sex is a game to her and Bim and she will win!
Virgil, she’ll be genuinely confused by, as well as Blank, but will get over it after a while cause Hell rules don’t really apply here.
Plus why wouldn’t she get with the Sides? She’d probably test out the shapeshifting thing before Bim has a chance to go after them again and tell him all about it.
….what did she think of Roman’s record~
You mean of being the loudest and making Bim the loudest?
She thinks it means that the others are going to hate them since She can really make Bim sing so Roman is going to be loud as hell and if he made Bim be anywhere close to loud he’ll probably get some screams out of her too
Please don’t scar my children, send Virgil to his Emergency Dad as Logan and Patton board up the room.
Pffft Why would I do that?
Virgil will just start playing I just had sex through the walls back at them.
You know what, I was a fool, he would do that exactly. All the while he texts the Office to update the board. Don’t question how he has the Office’s number….it was there after the third visit.
Nah he’s texting the Jims updates who are announcing it over the PA
Bim is laughing his ass off at it
Dang it would either sound like a horse race or an auction
More like a soccer game
…..Poor Roman is going to come out all disheveled
Roman is going to not leave his room for a solid week after he finds out what happened cause he swore he put a one-way soundproof chamber up before Ruzha got him but he was so flustered he put it the wrong way so he and Ruzha couldn’t hear anything but everyone outside his room heard EVERYTHING
I was scrolling through my dash on mobile and I saw this drawing by Rob Liefeld and I was like
“Hey this doesn’t look too bad.”
“oh”
“oh god.”
“she’s like fucking long cat”
“enough”
“thou misunderstands me, my lord”
this makes me feel so much better about the way i draw anatomy
Sometimes I think maybe I’ve set my commission prices too high, but then I remember this, and I remember that he got paid for this, and suddenly I don’t feel like my prices are high enough after all
People love to talk about whether or not disabled people can work
but if you can work just fine and your disability is destroying your ability to have a life outside of work (because work takes all your energy and more)
Dead silence. Nobody cares.
File this under, oh you can be active for 4 hours? You can work part-time. Um no, I have to get ready for work (30 min) get to work (15 min) get home from work (15 min) feed myself all day (30 min) maintain myself, my home and my life (15 min, yeah right), which leaves 15 min for work and absolutely nothing else.
This is so accurate, back after I’d relapsed I wanted to try and go in for one class at school so I could still stay in contact with the education system. I let slip during a meeting that I managed to drag myself to that I could manage about 4 hours of activity a week, which the teacher sprang on to mean I was being lazy for just trying to get to 1 hour class. Never matter that it was 30 minutes travel, that I would have to get washed and dressed, that I would probably still need to recover for 3 days from it.
Far too often abled people see the things they do easily as “non activities”, they don’t realise that for many disabled people these things have to be carefully planned and measured, and sometimes they simply can’t be done.
reblog bc the non activities thing seems really important words
I get X number of pain-free steps per day right now, which means that, for large conventions (like SDCC), I need to be in a mobility device. I had someone ask if I used up my steps every day before transferring to the scooter, and look surprised and a little horrified when I said “no, I save them so I can go to the bathroom unassisted.” Like, they had never considered that walking is involved in peeing.
!
Reblogging for the important point that the term “activity” may mean something very different and much broader for a disabled person with a chronic pain or fatigue related condition compared to its meaning for a non disabled person. If you’re tired enough, simply sitting up in a chair rather than lying in bed is an activity that drains energy otherwise usable for other things. A thing I knew from other people with pain and fatigue related conditions, but worth reinforcing for followers who didnt know or had forgotten.

Soemthing that literally just occurred to me today is the fact that every single time Anti appears, Jack is ILL.
In Say Goodbye, Jack starts to feel very very nauseous right before Anti appears.
In KJSE, Jack actually nearly throws up not long before Anti comes back.
Interesting thing to note!
Oh my god you’re so right
Anti is, quite literally, a virus, and he has the capability to make people physically sick. I think that’s kinda cool, how a a literal error in the body can make people sick, and Anti can do just that. He really is a glitch in the system, but not just technical systems, the nervous system as well
^^ Ooh I like the idea that a computer virus can cross over into bring a real virus!!
Also, have you noticed that Anti can’t fully appear without blood?
In Say Goodbye he slits his throat
In KJSE there’s a lot of blood in the game
Anti is only able to appear in JJ’s video when JJ cuts his finger
Also, Schneep was bleeding from the eyes.
…but what caused Anti to appear with Chase?
Would a mental illness, such as Chase’s depression, make it easier for Anti to get to him? Or did Chase get hurt at some point…?
