This Is Me Btw. In Case You Forgot. I Am Them And They Are Me.

Never forget the people who worked to give us the place we have today. Don't stop working towards it. They're still trying to take everything from us. Still. They're trying to kill us. They're trying to brand us as something illegal or dangerous. Never shut up about trans rights, about bipoc rights, never shut up about giving rights to the people who have clawed their way to be here, and who demanded their seat at the table because no one would give it to them.

They're going to keep trying to take our power away from us, to have us forget who we are and our roots. We shouldn't let them. Keep believing in change and love and acceptance for our community and keep fucking working for it. If we don't, we're failing everyone who came before us.

I want a family. I want a family with my wife, and I want kids and a house we can call our own, and I'm ready to fight tooth and nail for that.

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Hey! Heeeeyyy! The 2000s called >:D

I answered. It felt nice to hear the memories of my childhood echoing through the receiver. I heard the ocean, back when the 30 minutes it took to drive to the beach felt like an eternity. You were there too, mumbling something over the waves and the cars engine.

Chalica falling on finals week is a sick joke. How am I to spread all my good will when I have to pull 2 all nighters in a row to get everything submitted in time 😔

I will simply celebrate this week.

I also do! I've done it for yearssssss.

NEEED to have a tail to wag

it feels so wrong to not have one T^T

I really needed to hear this

to you, it's a shitty sentence. to some random bitch 500 miles away, it's a fire line that'll haunt them for the next 17 years.

you don't know how impactful your writing is because it's been in your brain for far too long now. you've stared at it for hours and repeated "this sucks" over and over again to the point that you killed your capacity to feel anything about your work.

but trust me, once you get your shit out there, someone's gonna go over that paragraph you hate and go "jesus fucking christ" and put the book down to have an existential crisis.

Be there! For! Your! People!

when i say community

i mean staying with the victims of violence until the emts get there

i mean not letting the cops get them alone even though you just met

i mean carrying around extra pain and allergy meds not just for yourself, but in case anyone else needs them too

i mean giving them to anyone regardless of if you actually like them as a person

i mean password sharing and spreading links to your favorite pirating site

i mean helping that stranger set up a workaround for their broken computer

i mean helping them understand the weird ass language in a job application

i mean helping people understanding medical information when their doctors did a bad job

i mean letting someone sleep on your couch so they don't have to go home

i mean checking if people have rides home

i mean "text me so i know youre safe when you get home"

i mean "have you eaten today"

i mean "have you eaten enough today"

i mean "what do you want, i'm buying tonight"

i mean "hey does anyone have experience with this med, my doctor wants to put me on it but i'm not sure"

i mean "here's a zine on going off of psych meds with minimal risk"

i mean "hey you weren't at the show tonight, are you doing ok?"

i mean "i have a spare room if you ever need it"

i mean "i'm here, i promise i'm here"

When I am the poor impression of a normal, quiet everyday Joe anytime I leave the house, but the second I go home or spend time with my girlfriend? BOOM! Doggy :3

you ever get stressed by like. job and filling out forms and talking to coworkers. And then you get home and remember you can daydream about playing as a dog. and about running around

This picture but they're both me.

me (wolf) and my doggy friend, we're so silly !!!

Hi!

I hope you get to eat dinner with your friends soon.

I hope you pet a cat soon.

I hope you see a really nice sunset soon.

I hope you get to wake up after getting the perfect amount of sleep soon.

I hope you have the time to make art soon.

I hope the thing you've been dreading doing isn't actually so bad.

I hope that you get to listen to your favorite song soon.

I hope you have a really good day <3

"Daddy issues? Well, duh, how would I be the coyote cowboy I am today if I had a stable relationship with my father?"

I say as my therapist slowly nods her head and scribbles something down on her clipboard.
