not feeling okay today.
every time i hear news of another death, even if i’ve never met or heard of the person before reading their memorial, i want to vomit and cry. i want to somehow bring them back. i wanted to have met them, to have loved them even more than i do now.
i don’t know. i just can’t deal with this anymore. i need it to stop. and there’s nothing i can do.

Happy birthday, Richard Brautigan (born today in 1935).
i think i’m going to start putting this on my weekly todo list.
This is a call for femmes on tumblr who are willing to serve as a mentor/guide/friend to younger/newly out/or isolated femmes.
I am looking for folks who are willing to be available for questions and conversation.
I would like this group of mentors to represent the vast array of femme identities and intersections. Trans* femmes, femmes of color, fat femmes, femmes with disabilities, femmes on the more dapper/more masculine side, working class femmes, femmes from countries other than America, and all femmes!
If you are interested in participating, please send me your blog name, your prferred name and pronoun (if you have one) and a short bio. I am going to create a page on my blog that introduces all of the mentors. I will also be giving out your information to those who request it.
If you can’t mentor but support this project, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST.
And if you are looking for a supportive person to discuss your femme identity or life with, or just a caring person to reach out to, please request a mentor here.
THANK YOU.
This is a brilliant idea. I’m not sure I would be a good mentor but I’ll hella signal boost it.
Signal boost!
BOOST AS HELL.
