Straight Edge - Tumblr Posts
Something funny about me that caused people to be confused in the past is that, on a surface level, you'd think I'm conservative, or prude, or old fashioned. I don't drink alcohol ever, I'm willingly an adult virgin and I don't dress in hyper fem ways that show skin.
The real reasons are that I take antidepressants & adhd meds daily which aren't to be mixed with alcohol, I'm asexual and genuinely disinterested in sex, and also I'm gender non-conforming so I don't wear the awesome looking fits for whoring nights.
The band tanks we painted yesterday.
Relient K was done by a friend. I don't usually go for yellow stuff but she and I figured the design would match the laces on my docs. "Long Live the Rebels" is both a song and album by Disciple. Now I have merch to go see them in!
If you're an author/writer, a maladaptive daydreamer, alt, a cosplayer, into DnD/Roleplay, enjoy fantastical fashion, or generally just have a love for fantasy fiction... you HAVE to attend a Renaissance Faire at least once in your life.
I'm most of the above and it was an amazing experience for me. Entirely liberating. I forgot my job, my disorders, my responsibilities. Completely tossed aside my stress for an entire day. There were freaks everywhere; unusual humans of every lovely variety. My friends and I met so many great people. Anti-facists, anarchists, goths, punks...
I'm from a small town and know next to no alternative people. The X's on my gloves, safety pins, the yellow laces on my docs- people don't understand it. There I was able to speak the lingo and made friends in the process. At one point or another I was offered alcohol by a new acquaintance. Told them I was straight edge. Instead of looking at me weird, they GOT IT. Even apologized and asked if it would be disrespectful for them to drink in front of me. I'll tell ya, punks supporting other punks... nothing better.
It was like coming home.
I want freedom
Not a boss that comes in a forty ounce bottle
Of anything or taped scotch paper
I eat meat and drive trucks
And shoot guns and don't trust
In the federal government
To solve all our problems
You might think I'm joking
But I'm not a Republican
Call me when your president
Pulls out of Afghanistan
Because that's the day I'll
Get a cell phone number
And you can call and
Leave a message on voice mail that day
I fell asleep smoking
So I'd wake up on fire
Because that might get me
Out of bed for a while
And back into battle
With the things that I breathe
And the holes in my arms
And the way that I think
And if freedom is doing what I want
Well that means I gotta know what that is
Not just what it isn't
So I'll dig up the dirt
And I'll throw down some seeds
Because the world needs more spinach
Not more motherf*ckers like me.
Hello everyone! In today's video I discuss what it's like to be a part of "positive" communities that are actually pretty toxic. I talk about the minimalism, straight edge, and zero waste communities! I am sure there are good people in these communities as well, but when the meanest people speak the loudest it gives everyone a bad rep.
