@wonderingsam See This Is The Kind Of Thing I Wish Humans Could Do

Went to Pride today with the people I babysit for and they brought along their kids' cousin, who was I think 16? When I asked them their pronouns, they kind of just shrugged and were like "any is fine."

Now mind you, the two other adults we were with were straight. Very supportive straights, but straight. And their kids I babysit for are like...8 and 5 (the 5 year old is figuring out gender expression, which we love). All that to say that after less than an hour of knowing me, the cousin was drifting to my side and hanging out with me more so than their own aunt and uncle. Queer finds queer lol

It was kind of crowded after the parade so we all went for lunch, and afterwards they were like "hey before we leave I really want to try and buy a rainbow flag" and we were all like "yeah ofc" and set out to find a booth that wasn't crammed with everyone in the city.

Nothing in the world more satisfying y'all than watching this kid eye all the rainbow flags, hesitate, look back at me, and then very slowly turn to point to the trans flag and ask for that one instead. Because it's the one they REALLY wanted, but I think if they had gone up to the vendor with a bunch of straight ppl in tow they might not have picked it. One (1) visibly queer person hanging out with them for a few hours was all it took for them to feel more comfortable in their own skin. And I'm not even trans myself.

This is not to say the parents wouldn't have been supportive with whatever flag they chose, bc they would have. This is just asking people to acknowledge how IMPORTANT representation is for everyone.

Now that's the dream

Aspecs still face oppression- medically, religiously, and in general. It's just not as wide spread and as known as other parts of the community. And I'm convinced that a lot of it comes down to a lack of visibility and representation

"Aro/aces aren't part of the lgbtq+ community , they don't face any oppression "

The LGBTQIA+ community is for people who deviate from the cishetnorm. Its for people that don't fit the image of liking the opposite gender sexually and romantically, while identifying as their AGAB.

Aros and aces don't fit into the ideal hetronormative identity therfore THEY ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY

It's the 5th of September and sweater weather has yet to arrive

Kinda rude that it’s the 3rd of September and the weather hasn’t immediately chilled down but whatever

I've always been opposed to marking up books; writing in them, folding pages, making notes. It's the permanency I think, the same way I'm afraid to put a sticker somewhere because then it's stuck there forever.

But I also have a lot of books. And how boring will it be for my children and grandchildren to pack them up when I'm gone, boxes and boxes of impersonal books identical to a brand new copy from amazon? They won't be heirlooms, nobody will feel connected to me through them.

I'm challenging myself to leave my mark in all of them this summer. Take notes in the margins. Leave messages for future readers. Doodle illustrations. Leave something behind to be found.

Well that would definitely explain all of the ways you've plotted on how to potentially kill someone

@lizza-yarnscaping you've finally made it as my tumblr crush. So hot 🥵 I'm like, so obsessed with you.

If anyone needs a new period tracker app, Planned Parenthood’s free period tracker app Spot On doesn’t sell your data and it’s only saved locally to your device so only you can access it. I transferred over my cycle history from Flo and deleted it and its data, took 5 minutes.
