how do people get over things i have never gotten over anything in my entire life
I'm gonna cook clear crystal meth and put edible glitter in it and call it Silly Meth
"If we can provide over $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1% and large corporations, please do not tell me that we cannot afford to make public colleges and trade schools tuition-free and debt-free for all." - Sen. Bernie Sanders
I don't know who told straight people that queer people only deserve representation in shows that are centered on being queer and the queer experience, but whoever told them that, I am coming for you because if I have to read one more person saying "Stranger Things isn't gay just go watch Heartstopper or whatever", I'm gonna start blowing things up.
Queer people deserve to have representation in EVERY genre. Not just shows like Young Royals and Heartstopper and whatnot. Sometimes, I don't wanna watch shows like that and I just wanna watch a cool fucking sci-fi horror that has a really elaborate plot and I deserve to feel seen and represented in those genres. Straight people are represented in every single genre and it's seen as completely normal to include cishet relationships in EVERYTHING...why can't queer people get the same?? Why do we not deserve the same treatment?? Why do I have to be stuck watching shows that are only about being queer and nothing else?? Why don't I get cool sci-fi plots with my queer ships?? Like what the fuck bro that ain't fair.
“wow i can’t believe a trans cat girl hacked and leaked the no-fly list. the way we came about this information is so absurd, it’s funny” 🤝 “the actual information that was leaked is abhorrently racist, specifically towards middle eastern and south asian people. that is absolutely not funny and needs to be spoken about without the absurdity of the situation dominating the conversation”
When I knew Will was gay in 2016, during the first party scene, it wasn't because of some stereotype. It wasn't anything he said or the way he looked or his mannerisms or whatever.
There are just certain behaviors that a queer person can recognise for what it is. That simple act of telling Mike it was a seven behind the party's back told me all I needed to know.
Because as a queer person, I've done that.
I've looked for that extra attention, that special connection, that idea of 'us two against everything else', even our other friends. Especially at that age, when you didn't even know yet what it meant.
And sure, it could be nothing, there could technically be another explanation. But ultimately it's a clear as day sign of young love as Lucas and Dustin stalking Max. Specifically, young queer love, which looks slightly different from heterosexual crushes.
So yeah, when straight people are able to 'tell' whether a person is queer it's usually based on stereotypes, because they could never get it, but that doesn't mean it's the same for queer people. That's ultimately what 'gaydar' has always been - recognising behaviors that make you go "oh they're like me" not the typical "oh they're wearing this" or "floppy hands" or whatever. Not "oh they cuff their jeans!" or "finger guns!".
That's why 'Byler is the gay ship for gay people' - queer people recognise their behavior for what it is. That's why the GA can't connect with Mike.
They can't fathom the fact that Mike wouldn't call Will at all if he had a crush on him. But as a queer person, you recognize how figuring out your feelings often means distancing yourself from them. Both because you're fighting your queerness and because it just hurts to be around them, even - especially - if they are your best friend.
If you think Animal rights activists, Climate activists are going too far, you should know you can't defeat evil by knocking on the door. People with power aren't gonna turn good because you tweet stuff or write a blog.
Words matter I am not denying that, I am a decent person today because of the word I have read. But corruption doesn't go away only with words because actions are far more powerful.
One rich person holds more power & wealth than thousand poor people. You only saying stuff doesn't do any good, not really.
Capitalists only cares about profit, they will do anything to gain profits. But we can change that if we gather ourselves, remember a million ants can kill an elephant.
Wanna change the world? Create political groups, rallies, and protests. Politics is for everyone, that's where everything happens. You should not let random rich arseh0le dictate your future.
no bc guys. people are sleeping on the will byers trauma train somehow. like HOW? this boy isn’t compelling to you??? imagine you got kidnapped by an evil tooth monster to another dimension and your sister you hadn’t met yet tried to find you but you were unconscious and then you DIED and then got better and came home and started coughing up slugs and then you had to go back to middle school and then you got possessed by evil smoke and killed a bunch of scientists AND your mom’s boyfriend AND almost killed all your friends (but you got helped by the power of family and rainbows and a little gayness) and then you were unconscious AGAIN when you tried to meet your sister for the first time for the second time and then you tried to strangle your mom and then your boy best friend’s sister tried to burn you alive and then your boy best friend started dating your sister who you finally met and then he called you gay and you cried and then you had to move to the desert and your weird brother got a new weird friend who drives you to school in a pizza van and then you find out the evil smoke that possessed you is named henry and he still fucking hates you and you actually are gay. and also your dad sucks
