How are you gonna complain about my outfit when you're over here looking like a lebubu knock off.

Stop clutching your pearls at my midriff and get a grip. It's not my problem a whole 4 inches of skin turns you on enough that its considered distracting.

Basically, im a physics nerd. Less in language/vocabulary, more in action. In what i see and feel, not what i write. Experiencing it instead of mathing it.

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1989. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

I want to add: the impact of US dominance on queer culture goes so much further than just knowing our history and when our pride is.

It means that queer people all the around the world - especially those who are not white - whose experiences don't fit neat 'L', 'G', 'B', 'T' identity labels (or any identity label at all) are constantly forced to flatten their understanding of their own lives until it fits into a box that's the US-dominant system can understand.

Do you want to find others online? Social media is English-dominated and there's no word for your experience. So flatten who you are until it fits in the box.

Do you want funding for your organization? The fund uses LGBT labels and concepts. Flatten who you are until it fits in the box.

Do you want to get something published? It needs to be understandable to an audience raised on a diet of American culture. Flatten who you are until it fits in the box.

Do you want transition care? Your doctor uses an American manual on 'genderdysphoria'. Flatten who you are until it fits in the box.

Do you want an LGBT-refugee status? The state uses white American/European concepts of what it means to be queer. Flatten who you are until it fits in the box.

Again and again, you have to cut away all the ways in which your experience of queerness is different from the dominant narrative. Simplify yourself over and over until you're not longer sure what your real experience was like before you made yourself legible to a US-dominant system.

Growing up is realizing why your parents always grumbled when you asked them to park on the roof of the parking garage

I’m about to save you thousands of dollars in therapy by teaching you what I learned paying thousands of dollars for therapy:

It may sound woo woo but it’s an important skill capitalism and hyper individualism have robbed us of as human beings.

Learn to process your emotions. It will improve your mental health and quality of life. Emotions serve a biological purpose, they aren’t just things that happen for no reason.

1. Pause and notice you’re having a big feeling or reaching for a distraction to maybe avoid a feeling. Notice what triggered the feeling or need for a distraction without judgement. Just note that it’s there. Don’t label it as good or bad.

2. Find it in your body. Where do you feel it? Your chest? Your head? Your stomach? Does it feel like a weight everywhere? Does it feel like you’re vibrating? Does it feel like you’re numb all over?

3. Name the feeling. Look up an emotion chart if you need to. Find the feeling that resonates the most with what you’re feeling. Is it disappointment? Heartbreak? Anxiety? Anger? Humiliation?

4. Validate the feeling. Sometimes feelings misfire or are disproportionately big, but they’re still valid. You don’t have to justify what you’re feeling, it’s just valid. Tell yourself “yeah it makes sense that you feel that right now.” Or something as simple as “I hear you.” For example: If I get really big feelings of humiliation when I lose at a game of chess, the feeling may not be necessary, but it is valid and makes sense if I grew up with parents who berated me every time I did something wrong. So I could say “Yeah I understand why we are feeling that way given how we were treated growing up. That’s valid.”

5. Do something with your body that’s not a mental distraction from the feeling. Something where you can still think. Go on a walk. Do something with your hands like art or crochet or baking. Journal. Clean a room. Figure out what works best for you.

6. Repeat, it takes practice but is a skill you can learn :)

Growing up is watching Doctor Who and noticing his growth in relationships.

In the reboot series, there's this notion that The Doctor starts more pure and innocent then becomes vengeful towards the Matt Smith arc. He's excited when no one dies as Christopher Eccelston, but in later seasons, he seems like he'd watch the world burn for the few he loves to survive.

It is true that his value for the life of strangers diminishes, but it's replaced by an increased value in close friends and found family. In the beginning, The Doctor is an arrogant little shit with minimal regard for how he makes people close to him feel. While he later maintains a sense of bluntness, he eventually grows softer and more considerate of his friends.

In truth, growing up is realizing Doctor Who is not just about a whimsical, eclectic man in a time machine; but instead, it's about the character growth and decay of a man who learns to actually love those he knows he will outlive.
