Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈

I grew up really religious and in a really small community. It wasn’t until I went to high school that I knew the queer community existed, people that I loved were coming out and I wanted to know how to support them so I put aside all the religious bs I grew up with and became an ally.

Then, eventually, I realized that I was part of that community, too. I first thought I was just bi-curious and that’s how I identified for a long time. Then I met someone and got into a horrible relationship and he told me he couldn’t be with someone who was bi. And I hadn’t come fully out so I thought, maybe this isn’t who I am.

And then we broke up.

And I knew all along it’s who I always was.

I’m bi. And I’m proud. I fought long and hard to find and love all of me. And I won’t let anyone take away my identity again.

Happy happy pride 🏳️‍🌈 my 7th one out 🥹

My first Octavia Butler book and it was so good I read it in 30 hours.

My memory of my [family] told me that even people who loved me could demand more of me than I could give—and expect their demands to be met simply because I owed them.

I liked the books HOWEVER!!!! There should have been a trigger warning for body dysmorphia for Replica. Truly I have been doing so well and this book triggered the helllllll out of me. You can tell it was written in like the 2010s

[alittlebito]

Finished my 8th and 9th book of the year in the span of like 20 days. I finally decided to read Replica by Lauren Oliver and then immediately read its sister book Ringer. I used to love her books when I was in high school (middle school?? I don’t remember) and her writing felt like coming home. I love how she created worlds. And the concept was really unique! Two voices in one book felt like a choose your own adventure.

I found it really beautiful. The overarching question of what makes you human? What makes us good? In the world we’re living in today, it’s a good reminder that empathy makes us human. Love makes us human.

(I also, unfortunately, could 1000000% see the US military torturing clones for “the greater good”)

I’m trying to get back into reading so I can reach my reading goal this year of 24 books. I decided to check out Replica by Lauren Oliver. I remember loving her books when I was in middle/high school. And let me tell you…..it’s good. It’s been three days and I’m almost done with it. I love the choose your own adventure aspect of it. A really cool concept. I can’t wait to see how it ends!

When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

I watched over her that night Doted on her 4mg every 4 hours Clockwork Beep beep beep Mommy please drink this I know it tastes bad, but please You’ll feel better  I love you 4mg turned to 8mg When the face of a sleeping angel became contorted in pain Beep beep beep Mommy? Mommy you gotta wake up You gotta drink this Please, just open your mouth a little I know I know it tastes bad  I know I love you I laid in a chair next to her Grasping her hand Thinking I could hold her spirit in  I promise, Mommy, I promise I’ll be here the whole time I promise you won’t be alone I promise  I promise I promise Up, down, up, down The rhythm of her breaths was a lifeboat I clung  Up…..down Up………down The waves crashed along the boat Up…… ….. Down I promise Up…… ……….. Down I promise Up…………. ……………. GASP I promise I love you I promise I love you I promise  I love you The warmth of her hand retracted into the void And still I held I promise I love you Until only ice remained I couldn’t hold you here I couldn’t keep your spirit  I promise I promise I promise You did not leave this world alone - M

Do you guys ever think about that fact that the moment Bree inherited her powers (aka the minute her mom died) was probably also the moment when Sel first inherited Bloodmark and began succumbing to his demonia because of it??
