people on twitter like "you can't ship elphaba/glinda/fiyero together bc glinda is a lesbian" it's like they don't even know about a lesbian-centric semi-nonsexual throuple where they don't have sex with him as often as they have sex with each other but they do love him and he's in this relationship. HE'S IN THIS RELATIONSHIP.

No. No.

I asked my dad what our family answered to the loyalty questionnaire when they were at Tule Lake. The contested questions were numbers 27 and 28: “Are you willing to serve in the Armed Forces on combat duty where ever order?” and “Will you swear to abide by the laws of the United States and to take no action that would interfere with the United States war effort?” The options to answer were no/no or yes/yes. Three-quarters of the people in Tule Lake answered no/no.

I felt the suppression of shame when he reflexively shook his head. “There were no ‘No/No Boys’ in our family. Three of my uncles volunteered to serve their country.”

I remember the video of the jail built to hold 24 and bursting with 100 men, the barbed wire and machine guns, the US govt selling survival to us in commissary while paying us $0.26 a day to produce food they sell for a profit. The sale of the buildings we built and lived in and the fact that there are over 300 people buried under what is now “private” land.

I think it it right to resist this in every form.

i think taylor swift wishes she was bisexual because she knows it would make her slightly more money. whereas sabrina carpenter wishes she was bisexual so she could have sex with someone who looks exactly like herself. and ariana grande wishes she was bisexual because she did too many designer drugs on the set of wicked and now she has kin memories of being glinda for real

Ugly Duckling sequel where the swan is like hey it's nobody's fault and I don't think anyone did anything wrong per se but nonetheless I did feel really alienated and depressed for most of my youth and those years do continue to affect me in the present day and their mom is like, so what you're saying is that you think I'm a failure and a bad duck.

so frustrating to be a skeptic with a sense of whimsy because like. I want there to be cryptids. I want there to be magic. I want there to be evidence of something we don't fully understand and can't explain. but then 99% of the "proof" out there for that stuff is like. the most obvious scam you've ever seen in your life.
