nakedly:

You are drowning yourself by overthinking everything. The next time you find yourself overthinking or beating yourself over something, picture something simple and put no thought into it. Look at the trees moving in the wind or take a moment to look at how beautiful this world is. This world is too beautiful for you to waste your time in unecessary thoughts that are just drowning you.

Wild things I have learnt in therapy:

• When a child cries, parents are supposed to comfort them, not punish them
• Parents are, in fact, supposed to want to spend time with their children
• Children too have a right to privacy, meaning parents are not allowed to read their diaries etc and then punish them for the thoughts they found about
• Children are allowed to be upset and cry
• Children don’t have to earn the love and attention from their parents by performing various things
• Children are not supposed to be scared of going home and/or their parents
• Children are not supposed to be physically abused and even a little bit of hitting is actually physical abuse
• Parents are not supposed to expect that children are mentally as mature as other adults
• Children are not supposed to be told that they’re an accident, a burden, or something the parents regret
• Children are not supposed to be scared and ashamed of themselves or feel like failures because of their parents

All about rodenticides! Bird Friendly London (www.birdfriendlylondon.ca) hired me to make this comic with a grant from Nature Canada. Rodenticides are harming my local raptors so it’s an issue that’s close to my heart.

I feel like what this infographic is missing (though I wholeheartedly agree with the message of course) is the fact that rodents are wildlife too! The thing about poisons and traps is that they don’t discriminate between native rodents and invasive rodents, and more often than not I see people in my area catching native pinyon mice, woodrats, or even chipmunks. If you would humor me, look up some of the native rodents in your area! You might be surprised at how many there are. After bats, rodents are the most diverse mammal group on the planet. ♥️

letter from a mother of a gay man. sent to ONE magazine, 1958.

This post was flagged as adult content and the original poster was deactivated so I’m bringing it back.

“Mrs R” was the pseudonym of Phyllis Shafer, a Kansas City local who helped found the Phoenix Society for Individual Freedom in 1966, a full three years before Stonewall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she and her son Drew operated the Phoenix House, a safe haven for queer people in the city, and a hub of national queer activism. Drew passed away due to AIDS related complications in the 1980s, and his lover, Mickey Ray, spent the rest of his life fighting to keep his memory alive, largely contributing to the creation of the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America.

Before Stonewall, this Kansas City activist helped unite the national gay rights movement

Years before the Stonewall uprising, Drew Shafer started Kansas City's first gay rights organization and published the first LGBTQ magazine
