    Always remember:

    • You can’t accurately judge how you look. Even Taylor swift can’t tell how good she looks.
    • Online femboys do not represent most femboys, or even themselves. They don’t look as good IRL.
    • Mark the post as NSFW and put a trigger warning in the title if you’re mentioning suicidal ideation. Some people might not feel safe here if this flashbangs them.

    Friendly reminder to all y’all that if you see a beautiful person online, it’s real real real likely you’re looking at a clever lie.

    Everything online now is edited, curated, altered. Study after study shows how bad that content can be for you and your self-esteem.

    **Consuming content that glorifies people based on their appearance is self-harm. **

    Don’t objectify women. That includes yourself.

      Also… I keep winding up in y’all’s space from all. Hope that’s not a problem.

      Sometimes I see in you my little sisters, and I can’t help but wander in and try to set you on your feet and brush the dust off your tear-stained cheeks, and remind you that you don’t owe anybody anything, especially not to be pleasing to them to look at!!

      You are strong, and fierce, and capable, and anyone blessed to see you should be grateful you gave them the opportunity and didn’t scratch out their eyes as the fee for your largesse!

        Well said, please know and be reminded this sort of message inspires, has reach, and does good for sisters and siblings more than one can ever know 🫶

    We can fit one more “when” in there somehow, I’m sure of it.
