taohun

no such thing as wasting your 20s your 20s are for recovering from whatever the fuck happened to you as a kid so that youre ready to get weird with it in your 30s

if you find this relatable and exciting I have good news about what your 40s will be like

btw you all have to stop talking about gargoyles when you actually mean grotesques. not because i actually care that much about using the correct technical terms but because those wretched beasts deserve your love and recognition too.

valtsv

basically, for those unaware of the difference:

gargoyles: freaks with a job, created to drain water from the roof

grotesques: freaks for the hell of it, created when one guy dared to ask the question "what if there were some absolutely disgusting creatures just hanging out on the roof"

both: swell guys who deserve your admiration and make architecture look metal as hell

Sylvia Rivera calling out gays and lesbians for their trans exclusion in 1973 at the Christopher Street Liberation Day rally (x)

theothersiiide

Still relevant

russianspacegeckosexparty

And if I’m not mistaken, Sylvia Rivera was *specifically* addressing WHITE gays and white feminists here. She called out these middle/upper class white folks who strove only for assimilation while neglecting Black and brown LGBT people who were poor and struggling and languishing in prison. White Gays and feminists didn’t like the way revolutionary figures like Sylvia were “rocking the boat”

Specification is important here because antiblackness and racism are still rampant in the LGBT community and Black + brown LGBT folks have had to make communities of our own because white LGBT people ostracize us.

it's actually worse. the police know she's on probation and charging her with an offense will automatically trigger a probation violation charge. police are legally going for the throat on parents speaking out about their gross negligence.

Good news-- she went to the judge who sentenced her and he was like.... oh, no. Nonononononononono. Don't worry, you go ahead and call the press.

It's a fantastic point, but John Boyega's net worth also puts him at $6 million. When he says eat the rich, he isn't safe either...

neon-classical

There’s a pretty big fucking difference between six million and one trillion lmao

Not to mention the way the money was made

An actor being paid for a role / doing some advertising is a world away form a man setting up a cooperate money machine that horrendously exploits workers

To myself, raised in an environment that glorified and romanticized restriction and suffering:

There is no victory in skipping dinner, or lunch, or breakfast, or morning coffee, or dessert.

There is no victory in refusing heaters and air conditioners and fans and heated blankets.

There is no victory in denying yourself sleep, or showers, or movement, or water, or a comfortable bed, or taking the elevator vs. the stairs.

There is no victory in refusing pain meds and heating pads and ice packs and medical help.

There is no victory in punishing yourself needlessly, in telling yourself that this pain you feel is because you are bad to the core and deserve it.

There is no victory in choking back your laughter and your tears, to keep an imagined equilibrium of safety that is really just a dry, cracked, empty, endless emotional desert.

You are here. You are in this body, and this body is yours. You deserve good things. You are alive, and that is messy and loud, and messy and loud are okay.

It’s okay to live abundantly. It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to indulge. This paralysis of self-punishment, self-restriction, self-loathing is not healthy or good for you.
