I think it's actually cool and great not to have any especially specific descriptors for your gender and/or orientation. just do whatever you want. yeehaw.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the way people talk about gender and orientation often has an implied understanding that through enough introspection/reading/fucking around and finding out you'll eventually arrive at the True Answer but actually that's uh. listen it's not gonna be the experience everyone has and that's fine, especially since the language we currently have to explain gender and attraction are pretty recent and relatively limited (as all language is!) and it's like. it's fine not to jive with that. you don't have to find a box you fit in perfectly and you also don't have to build a new box for yourself, you can just exist in whatever way feels right to you.

every time i ask people if they do any new years resolutions its all ooooo i dont like making them bc i fail or ohhhhh no i couldnt keep up wiht that and then when they ask me and i tell them about Pasta Quest (i am eating as many different pasta shapes as possible in the space of a year) or when i did Fruit Adventures (every time i saw a fruit i had never eaten before id get one and eat it and read the wikipedia article about it) theyre like hang on i forgot you can make Fun Ones i want a fun one

[songofsaraneth]

while i actually made this post back in May, since New Year’s is approaching here’s some of my fave suggestions from the tags if you’re looking for inspiration!

other favorites from the notes I didn’t get screenshots of at the time:

learn the names/species of local plants, bugs, and birds where you live (iNaturalist or Merlin the bird app help with this)

learn the rules to 10 new card games

steal the colored paint cards from hardware store paint aisles and use them to make art

try out every different apple variety you can find and rank them

similarly LOTS of people in the notes doing soup quests, and a few cheese quests also

similarly lots of people reading/watching certain amounts of media over the year, and tracking/rating it

track the number of cats/dogs/etc you see over the year

there’s plenty more in there too :)

I really don’t know what crowd I expected to be in the theatre for carol at 1:20 in the afternoon on a friday but it was probably 85% old people, old het couples and halfway through the movie this old lady in front of me turned to the old dude next to her and just said “harold they’re lesbians”

[lerayon]

Honoring 10 years of “harold they’re lesbians.” Many happy returns to all who celebrate.

I don't need to know anything else about this man to know we would have been great friends. An absolute legend. I wonder if I can find the actual story about that conviction, cause you know there is a story there.

[dovewithscales]

I can and did. He attended a protest against a poll tax, and when he saw a cop choking a protestor and objected, two other cops pinned him to a wall and choked him into unconsciousness. He woke up in jail charged with assault, and one of the cops claimed he'd bitten him on the hand.

The bite mark was proven not to match his teeth, and it's presumed that the cop bit himself to frame Mitchell. But they convicted him anyway despite proof it wasn't his teeth that bit the cop. Ergo, he was convicted of biting a cop with someone else's teeth. The experience led him to a lifetime of activism work and getting a law degree so he could fight injustices like the one he faced.

Alistair Mitchell, 61: Lawyer whose calling was knocked into him at a riot

Private Eye once described Alistair Mitchell as “the only man in British legal history to be convicted of biting a policeman — with someone

I reference this literally every time I'm at a bar because I somewhat convinced I saw it in a tumblr post somewhere but I have been informed that this is not in fact a known tumblr post in circulation and I was shown a prophetic vision at some point leading me to form the dichotomy from first principals
