Quick reminder that July is disability pride month. Not “gay wrath month”.
When ableism is a massive issue in the queer community and most pride events aren’t accessible maybe y’all should. Idk. Try a bit fucking harder to educate urselves this July.
shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.
idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

Here’s to everyone who was doing better, but has hit a rough period. It’s okay. You will be okay, you just gotta hang in there. Steps backs happen, and you are not going backwards. You still have your strenght and all that you have learned that can help you get back on your feet, and better days will reach you, right now you just gotta hang on and wait for the storm to pass enough for you to feel like you can get up and move forwards. 🌸
There are so many reasons to keep going! Here are just a few.
biking to the farmers market
Wow apparently you really need to eat and sleep and repeat in order to have energy for positive thoughts or good feelings
I hope July brings you closer to your goals, closer to the people you love, closer to your dreams. May it bring you friends, laughter, delicious food, cuddles, dancing. I hope July feels like a sigh of relief, may it feel like you’re settled and safe and warm. May if be filled with moments of joy, with lots of rest in between. May you feel confident and capable in what you hope to achieve, may your health improve, may you recover things you thought you’d lost, may you find beauty and keep it close to your heart, may you feel loved and make new friends
