hiii friends! my lovely partner is trying to get top surgery but because the medical system is Ass™️ to disabled, queer, and trans folks, they’ve set up a gofundme to achieve this goal!!! they only need a bit more to go and i’m so excited for them, if y’all could pitch in even a dollar or share the link with people you know, it would be so helpful 🥹

would be happy to take gifset/header commissions if it means he gets donations <3

gofundme here!

Isn’t that reason enough to keep living? To rediscover simple delights one moment at a time, I mean. I used to count them on my fingers, reassuring myself there was still good in the world and reminding myself to keep looking for those blessings. Butterflies, fresh-baked bread, the crunch of leaves on an autumn morning, so on and so forth. They don’t have to be profound. I started with one: the scent of fresh-cut grass. […] What you hold onto is less important than the act of holding on itself. It’s so easy to get lost in ourselves and this world. Sometimes you need to find your way back one tiny miracle at a time. —THE SUNSHINE COURT, NORA SAKAVIC

books i read in 2020: the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid

It’s always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one, how someone can love you in a way that is beautifully selfless while serving themselves ruthlessly.

The problem with my life was that it was someone else’s idea.

all this twisted glory by tahereh mafi

she’d shown him more loyalty and tenderness in two days than he’d ever felt in his life, and he knew then, with a force that drove the air from his lungs, that he would never survive her.

he loves her. of this he’s certain. he loves her laugh; that sharp, sudden sound; the cynical laugh that always comes too quick, like it’s ripped out of her. he loves her quick, confident grin. he loves her resilience, her bravery, even her impulsiveness. she’s everything he’s not: unbound, reckless, free. he’s never known anyone like her. she terrifies him, and he loves her so much it hurts.

sixteen years on the streets and you can learn a lot. but all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn. sixteen years on the streets and you see a lot. but all the wrong sights, not the things you want to see.

beach read by emily henry

i always liked that thought, the way two people really did seem to grow into one. or at least two overlapping parts, trees with tangled roots.

You shall sail the iron ship with warriors of bone, You shall find what you seek and make it your own, But despair for your life entombed within stone, And fail without friends, to fly home alone.
