Please be careful with how much you tolerate from the people around you. You are teaching them how to treat you. 🧡
Good things to know:⁣ ⁣ - #HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects gay and bisexual men, specifically men of color ⁣ - It does not affect this population exclusively⁣ - In 2017, heterosexuals accounted for 24% of new diagnoses ⁣ - Schools do not usually teach about the prevention, history or reality of HIV because administrators still think talking about sex (specifically queer sex) and drugs are too taboo ⁣ - It took Ronald Reagan four years to say the word “AIDS”, by which time between 10 and 20 thousand Americans had already died from the disease⁣ - Silence equals death⁣ photo/words: @mattxiv
Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling, but start. Start and don't stop. Start where you are with what you have... just start. 🧡
“I updated this iconic #Nirvana cover to match the reality.” - @dan_cretu⁣ ⁣ Did you know that every piece of plastic ever made still exists today? Or that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean? ⁣ ⁣ We have to do better. Check out @greenpeace to learn more about how you can take action.
25 white men voted to advance the most restrictive abortion ban in modern history - making it not only illegal to to get an #abortion, but also a felony and prosecutable under the law. Oh, and no exceptions for rape or incest.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here’s an idea. We should pass a Women’s Heartbeat law: if a woman has a heartbeat, you can’t tell her what to do with her body, ever. Anti-abortion laws do not stop women from having abortions, they just put the lives of poor women, especially poor Black and Brown women, at risk.
Sometimes you don’t start your day until 2pm. Sometimes you have to put on a pair of jeans and a nice shirt instead of sweatpants in order to feel good about yourself. Sometimes it’s really fucking hard to get up and take a shower or brush your teeth. Sometimes it’s really f'ing hard to take care of yourself and it’s okay. ⁣ ⁣ That is okay. Simple things aren’t always easy and simple things being hard doesn’t make you weak, you are doing the best you can and some days there are things you just can’t do and that’s okay. You are healing. You are trying. Do what you need to do to feel good. photo: @hellosunshine
Living someone else’s life plan is the fastest and most consistent path to an unfulfilling, unrewarding, and frustrating existence. Don’t waste your life following someone else’s rules and ideas about what a good life looks like, find your vision of your ideal life and push towards that. 🧡
