Words Matter - Tumblr Posts

Words and actions matter.

I went to tag this and realized that I didn't have a word for being in recovery from patterns of thought and habits of speech engrained from long years of living in a patriarchal society as a woman. There should be a word for that. Anything like 'recovering puppet of the patriarchy' is gross and erases agency, and besides it should capture the thought/speech habits thing. Suggestions? Recovering ____________?

words to remember

So I’m going to be bitter and old here for a minute.

The absolute refusal to allow anyone to use queer as an umbrella is both novel and regressive (I know, I know). For decades, queer was an accepted and neutral way to concisely refer to a coalition of loosely connected communities and identities. Queer theory, queer film, queer spaces, queer history.

This use came after another few decades of committed work in reclaiming the word from oppressors who flat out stole it from us.

It took a lot of effort to wrestle it back out of their hands, and now I’m expected to just give it over to them because decades of unity and collective action and shared experience don’t matter because a handful of (usually white, almost exclusively american) kids on this godawful website have deicded it’s illegal for me to “force it on others” and that I should instead just let them for LGBT or gay or whatever else on me.

Like, fuck off?

Fuck off.

I am going to refer to my community in the way that I have been doing for an entire lifetime. Not just my specific identity, which is queer as fuck, but the whole fucking shebang.

And I will not hand the word back over to straight people with a nice little ribbon and a coat of polish and say “here, some kids decided it was cool if I let you stab them with this word so here you go” like

Fucking, why would I ever.

Frankly, and I know how people are going to react to this but, frankly?

I damned well will use queer to refer to my community as well as myself, and anyone who wants to take it away from me can take it over my COLD DEAD QUEER LITTLE FINGERS.

I will not sit by and let antsy, nervous kids who don’t know a damn thing about our history talk down to me about how “well, actually” when they can’t even recognize the fact that trans people were still being policed out of here literally three fucking years ago.

The presumption and the ignorance are staggering.

So yeah.

Queer as in fuck you people in particular.

And, to my followers who are made uncomfortable by this, well. I will regret losing you on some level, but not enough to stop.

I fully intend to use queer as the umbrella term it has been for my entire life. LGBT never did my intersex, pansexual ass any favours anyway.

My point is, I’m not going to be referring to the “LGBT” community at all, anymore. It’s going to be 100% queer here, in a more conscious and consistent way than it has been before. Because, you see, even people who do use queer as an identity unashamedly have gotten into this pattern of being apologetic or conditional about it, with a constant, overbearing tone that even when we do use queer as a community term with have to hedge it and gentle it because it’s so dangerous.

but it’s fuckign not.

We spent decades pulling the danger out of it.

And ‘m not going to let it sneak back in.

They ask : hakikat pasand ladkiya kaisi hoti hai?

To ispar itna kaha gaya ki hakeekat pasand ladkiya zaanti hai ki zindagi mein mohabbat hi sab kuch nhi hoti woh kisi ka intezar nhi karti woh apne maslon ka hal khud talaash karti hai woh jab tutati hai toh khud ko khud hi samet leti hai

Some relationships don’t deserve

“Fee Amanillah.” Instead, part ways gracefully and silently.

Don’t underestimate the little things you do for others. No matter how small the act, it will come back to you eventually. The appreciation and thank you may be delayed for ages but that’s ok because your reward is truly with the Almighty. So do things out of love not obligation.

Mufti Menk~

There's a saying that

"whatever goes arount comes around"

Similarly is Islam, we have "Kiffarah"

Whatever you do expect it back, Wallahi expect it back.Let's say u hurt someone's feelings or u broke their heart expect Allah Swt to get someone to break your heart or breake your feelings because Kiffarah is like an arrow that never misses it's target. And similarly if u do good as well if u do good to someone or u love someone for the sake of Allah, Allah SWT will get people to love u. Whether your reward is in this world ,or in the next, that's up to Allah. but u 'll get what is coming for u.So, hold tight nd be patient.so if u do bad to someone expect it back nd if u do good to someone expect it back. and that's how it will always be.

those little piece of kind words and actions just mean a lot. It's just make me smile, even on a bad day

Harnessing the Power of Healing Intentions and Words in Political Campaigns

Shaina Tranquilino

December 21, 2023

In the dynamic world of politics, it is not unusual to witness extraordinary individuals stepping forward to make a difference. One such individual who has caught my attention is Katrina Nguyen, a distant energy healing client of mine, who has recently announced her candidacy for the U.S. Congress in 2024. As an energy healer, I find it incredibly inspiring that someone as wonderful and inspirational as Katrina not only recognizes the value of my work but also believes in the power of words, prayers, and healing intentions.

The Influence of Healing Intentions: Energy healing encompasses various practices aimed at balancing one's energy fields to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While some may question its efficacy or regard it as pseudoscience, countless individuals have experienced its profound effects firsthand. Energy healing works on the principle that we are all interconnected through energy fields, and by channelling positive intentions toward others, we can create transformative change.

Katrina Nguyen's Journey: Katrina Nguyen's decision to run for office demonstrates her unwavering commitment to serve her community and address pressing social issues. Having witnessed the impact of my distant energy healing sessions firsthand, she recognized the potential for this alternative form of support in enhancing personal growth and resilience during demanding times.

Words Have Power: As an expression of gratitude for my healing sessions, Katrina requested that I write poems and prayers to accompany her campaign journey. It is a testament to her belief in the power of words and their ability to inspire change. Poetry has long served as a medium for conveying emotions and ideas with clarity and depth. By incorporating these heartfelt verses into her campaign messages or sharing them on social media platforms like Twitter/X (@kat4house), Katrina aims to uplift and motivate those who resonate with her vision.

Prayers That Unite: One prayer I wrote specifically for Katrina encapsulates the collective intention behind her campaign:

"May the energy of compassion guide Katrina's path, As she seeks to serve with love and truth. May her words resonate, inspiring hearts to unite, And nurture a future filled with justice and youth. May healing intentions fuel her every step, Empowering her to make a difference, no matter how small. In unity, we stand strong, bound by hope's thread, Supporting Katrina as she answers destiny's call."

The Impact of Energy Healing in Politics: While traditional political campaigns often focus on policy proposals and rhetoric, integrating alternative forms of support such as energy healing can bring about a more holistic approach. By recognizing the power of positive intentions, prayers, and healing energy, politicians like Katrina Nguyen have the potential to foster an environment that prioritizes emotional well-being alongside tangible solutions. This integration acknowledges that healing extends beyond physical boundaries and emphasizes the interconnectedness of individuals within society.

Katrina Nguyen's decision to incorporate distant energy healing sessions, prayers, and poems into her U.S. Congress campaign is truly remarkable. It highlights her belief in the power of intentionality and demonstrates how alternative practices can complement traditional methods in promoting personal growth, resilience, and ultimately, societal change. As an energy healer, I am honoured to support Katrina and others who recognize the transformative potential of healing intentions and words in their journey towards creating a better world for all.
