like the fact that PrEP and PEP just kinda became a normal part of life one day without fanfare is something I think about a lot. Thousands of people died gruesome horrible deaths and now when I go on Reddit or ride the subway I see dinky little ads like "start this medication today so you don't contract/spread HIV! and if you get accidentally exposed there's a different medication for that to keep yourself from contracting!" and it's just an everyday thing. all those people who died fought for it to be this way.
In a truck stop bathroom washing my hands today and 2 boys, looked about 5 and 9, came in with their little sister who looked maybe 2. The following whispered conversation made my entire day
"We have to wait, there's a lady in here!"
"That's not a lady, he has a mustache! We can be in here!"
"Some ladies have mustaches! And she has boobs!"
"Well some guys have boobs! Like Uncle Jake!"
"Uncle Jake is fat!"
At this point I could not contain a chuckle and both whirled around with identical looks of panic on their faces. I smiled and said "it's alright for you guys to be in here so your sister has help, don't worry. And I'm both! That's why I have boobs and a mustache. Some folks are just built that way"
(In unison) "Ooooooh!"
(older boy) "So do you use Sir or Ma'am or both?"
"Both, but I prefer Sir"
"Cool! Well thanks Sir! We have to help our sister now!"
This was in a small town country truck stop and both boys had "Murica" type stuff on and neither of them had any issue at all with these concepts. Their mom approached me while I was in line about 10 minutes later and apologized for them bothering me in the bathroom (they had told her about the interaction) and she and I had a lovely little chat too. I got to introduce her to the term "intersex" and her reply was "I think I've heard of that before! I didn't know that was the word for it. Amazing how many different ways God can make people!"
Sometimes the world is good. More often than you might think, if you give it a chance. It's not all bad loves <3
you fucking with fat bitches?
Since day 1 you stupid son of a bitch
tfw "popular" fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don't subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.
something about lightbulbs just screams "put me in your mouth" it feels so natural. like smoking while pumping gas
She had enough
i have the best/worst fanfic ideas I just read a summary about the x men, and Xavier sounds like a dick lol. That would be fun to play with. Have a moment, where Wolverine gets shot in the head.
Piercing white noise. Old fear of forgetting oh god oh god fuck no- Logan Wakes up to Xavier over him, talking to him. But he…remembers something. Fragments, memories, feelings. Xavier is manipulative. He is cruel. He is calculating. Someone's changed his memories. Someone's been in his head. So, in a moment of panicked fear, Wolverine slashes at Xavier.
Xavier falls to the ground, shaken, holding his hand to his chest, pulling away to see the blood gushing out. He screams for help and everyone starts attacking him.
But Wolverine doesn't care. So he attacks Xavier again, quickly and
Logan
snaps
his
neck.
He dies so many times that night.
I AM ALSO GONNA DO THIS OF ITS OK!!!
