do you have any advice on coming out? specifically to friends, i dont think im ready to tell my family yet lol
The more times I came out, the more I framed it as an invitation for the other person to be involved in a new phase of my life. "Hey, this is what's been going on with me and what I may be doing in the near future. I'd love it if you could [use new pronouns/name, or other small ask]."
Trauma dumping about the closet always felt like asking for permission to come out, which really made me sensitive to possible rejection.
You do need to be prepared for ignorant, even rude questions and jokes. Just because these are friends, doesn't mean you need to answer everything and you'll need to figure out what is being said in good faith, and what is pushing boundaries.
Just overall, try not to think of Coming Out as being an imposition. This is an opportunity for friends to get to know the real you, and it should be something joyous.
I am going insane
Happy Independence Day!
i think if you showed minecraft or fortnite to a little medieval peasant boy he would probably start writing parodies of church hymns. it’s human nature
this has rendered me speechless
EPIC the musical was not for me but i do think its creator was an einstein level genius for commissioning popular youtube animatic creators to make animatics to the songs. this is how you can very effectively poison the groundwater with your music
I cannot recommend bringing your heritage and culture into how you view media enough.
It is important to consider the culture of the person who created the piece, absolutely; but the different perspectives offered by the viewers is fascinating in and of itself and does not always detract from the message.
As an example, when I was younger, I watched Schindler's List. This movie is famously shot in black and white except for one section, concerning a little girl in a red coat. The camera follows her until her eventual death.
I am Turtle Island Indigenous and I was always taught that the only color spirits could see was red, because it is the color of life and blood.
So the second the girl in the red jacket came on screen, something inside me chilled with fear.
The only color in the movie was that red. At some point, I, the viewer, had died.
I remember sobbing at the sight of the burning human piles that were shown, convinced I was buried in there somewhere. The reason I had only seen red on the girl was that my death was recent. I was the ash in the air mistaken for snow. I had died before her and had followed her, helplessly, until she followed me.
The message I got for that was maybe not what the creator had intended: that there was no "being clever enough" or "good enough" or "kind enough" that would shield or protect you from such a massive tidal wave of evil.
You are not exempt from tragedy, that red jacket whispered. You are not special.
When I told some of my white friends about my experience with viewing Schindler's List, some were shocked and the rest just out-and-out mocked me for my "media illiteracy".
"it was just a filming trick to make you feel something," I remember one saying, which terrified me. How had he not felt anything even before she showed up?
However, when I repeated my viewing to a college class, they were fascinated. The implications of what I had seen and felt made the film all the more terrifying and solemn. It encouraged a lot of people to try to ask themselves what media meant from a cultural perspective, where they hadn't done that before.
So just to be clear for the historical record, my liege, we are one hundred percent sure that this apparently unremarkable farm boy is the hero chosen by the gods to beat back the darkness?
Of course it's not that I could ever doubt your judgment, my liege, but the qualifications by which he has established himself do seem somewhat opaque to those of us without direct insight to the will of the divine.
No my liege I do not deny that he has a certain aesthetic appeal. A solid nine out of ten, as you say. Perhaps a ten if he were more acquainted with the concept of personal grooming?
One does wonder, however, if there are not other qualifications that might be more pressing for the specific post of being the hero who will beat back the darkness.
My liege of course is very wise, indeed none could argue that the tools of violence are not frequently overstated in their importance. Given how little we know about the shape the coming scourge is to take, who could say what skills would be required to defeat it? Might not a scholar or physician or even a particularly inspiring poet win us the day, in the end? Most wise, most insightful.
It's just that this particular farm boy doesn't even seem to actually know all that much about farming, my liege?
No no of course that's not relevant, quite correct, your wisdom remains unassailable. What would farming have to do with saving the world indeed!
So we are going with the farm boy. For sure then. No, no, of course my liege this humble servant would not dream of gainsaying your choice.
Pardon me, my liege, but I must go and ponder my orb for a while. There are some dark murmurings I was previously ignoring that suddenly sound a lot more sensible.
Hm? Oh no, I said nothing of importance, your graciousness. Haha, yes, of course we shall drain our already strained coffers to host a celebration for the new champion!
How wonderful.

Thank goodness that justice is being served, and the companies that stole from every American family to the tune of tens or hundreds of dollars are being forced to pay less than one cent per person they affected!
"Do you think people [in Korea/China] are gonna look at me funny because I'm wearing shorts instead of long pants?" I think you need to stop thinking so hard about yourself everyone's gonna look at you and think "tourist" no matter what and it does not fucking matter
"Do you think people [in Korea/China] are gonna look at me funny because I'm fat" I think you need to stop thinking so hard about yourself and also this might sound crazy what I'm about to say but there are fat people there too and if you're thinking of a country as a high school setting of potential bullies you are probably not emotionally equipped to be traveling anywhere
"Do you think people are gonna be mean to me because I'm wearing a big backpack instead of a handbag" I think you need to stop thinking so hard about yourself
"Do you think people--" I used to say "Nobody cares," but the truth is there are some people who will. There are people who may judge. There are people who may laugh. The question is what you're willing to do about it. Fight, goddamn it. Don't keep conceding ground to people who mean nothing, who ARE nothing. Nothing's even HAPPENED yet you are shadowboxing with hypotheticals STAND UP. STAND UP, GODDAMN IT

imagine we make contact with an alien species that’s like, vastly technologically superior, they could fucking kill us in a single shot if they really wanted to
and this species has never eaten salad before. and we show them salad and they eat it and they’re like holy living fuck this is tasty. and suddenly they’re offering us huge houses with all kind of advanced technological shit and incredible medical care and all the amenities and everything, with the only condition that we keep making salad for them.
and like, salad isn’t even hard to make. grab some plants, dump em in a bowl. it doesn’t have to be fancy salad, they’ll fall all over themselves for the most mediocre salad in the world. we can make so much salad that we’re practically drowning in it, even if we eat some of the salad ourselves. and in exchange we’re protected from danger, we have great living conditions, it’s basically paradise compared to life on earth
imagine
now realize that this is what bees have done to us
