There were several times as a child where I just stopped what I was doing and told myself, “Never forget this moment. Remember this moment for your whole life. You’re now allowed to forget it.”

So now I look back and try to remember my childhood birthdays and happiest moments and… nada. That one time I stopped and hyperfocused on a patch of moss in the woods? Crystal clear.

You are twenty years old.   You know most of the people who pick this up will cast it aside as inappropriate content. Because you use the word lesbian. Because they’re not homophobic, but to them not being straight is automatically equated with sexual activity. You challenge them to read on anyway. You are five years old.   You are a girl. You have a crush on Daphne from Scooby Doo. You just think she’s cute and want to hold her hand. You are eight years old before you find out that this isn’t considered ‘normal’. You see the word ‘lesbian’ on a magazine cover, big and brash like the scarlet letter. You ask your friend what it means. She’s two years older than you. She whispers it to you like a dirty word. To her, it is. You are fifteen years old.   You have a girlfriend. You don’t tell your parents. They find out anyway. Your dad starts a sentence with ‘sometimes people go through a phase…’ and never finishes it. You are told not to put ‘things like that’ where people can see it. You do not sleep that night for crying. You are sixteen years old.   You briefly date your best friend. Very little is different than when you weren’t dating. You have always held their hand in public, and always will. Some girls in the shopping centre see you holding hands and whisper, accusatory, fully intending you to hear, ‘they’re either sisters or lesbians’. You are neither. You defiantly tell them you are both. They jeer after you and you ignore it. They aren’t worth your time. You are still sixteen years old.   You hold hands in the school corridor. Your favourite teacher sees. He doesn’t acknowledge it, but he starts smiling. You start to realise what it’s like to be proud of who you are. You are eighteen years old.   The Supreme Court of America legalises same sex marriage. Scotland did this over a year ago. The violent responses of the ignorant in opposition are drowned out by the joy of the rightful victors. It is a step in the right direction, but there are still many miles to go. You are nineteen years old.   You are on holiday. You log in briefly to check to see if your exam results are in. They are not, but you forget to even check because there has been a shooting, a massacre, at a gay nightclub in Florida, in the middle of Pride celebrations. Your brothers and sisters are gone. America once again has blood on its hands for its refusal to impose strict gun control. There are some who say they deserved it. You are still nineteen years old.   You hear people have lined up around the block to donate blood to the victims. There is a solid wall of solidarity on the internet. This will not stand. This must not stand. Love will win. You are twenty years old.   You have to explain to your mother why gay clubs even exist. Because elsewhere people like you aren’t safe. Because straight people are terrifying. “But not all-” no, not all. But enough that we have learned where we are not wanted. We will not risk our wellbeing for the sake of your hurt feelings. You are twenty years old.   You hear people say “not in front of the children”. You see the mere existence of gay people written off as unsuitable, as dirty, as R movie content. You are twenty years old.   You have never been straight. You were not unsuitable for children, you were a child. You are not dirty, you are a human being. You are twenty years old.   Donald Trump ran for president. He spewed hatred and bigotry towards women, towards immigrants, towards gay people and lesbian people and bisexual people and had the audacity to hold a pride flag upside down for publicity. He won this battle. But this is a war. You are twenty years old.   You believe in equality. You believe in people. You believe the world has the capacity to be good. You believe there will be change. You believe that one day you will be able to hold hands with your partner and not feel fear. To exist, and not feel fear. You are twenty years old.   Maybe you are older. Maybe you are younger. You will live to be thirty, forty, sixty years old. Older. There is only one thing you need to know for certain. Love will win.

[thecouchwitch]

When I was a child I thought Susan was needlessly mean to Ross. Then as I got older I realized Ross was an asshat and Susan was the only one on the show that could see it.

Women belong in the kitchen.

Men belong in the kitchen.

Everyone belongs in the kitchen.

There’s food in the kitchen.

[yourstoryisnoteverover-deactiva]

You can stay in the dining room. Food will be ready shortly.

[kimflewoverthecuckoosnest]

I love watching cr1tikal’s public presence turn from chaotic neutral to chaotic good. The first big sign was donating his funds from Youtube partnership, and now he makes videos about how corrupt textbook prices and police drug tests are. They’re mixed in with infomercial parodies and laden with ridiculous profanity, but he’s doing good for humanity and I love that.

[montypla]

We’re also seeing more of his actual personality show up in his videos, his snapchat, and when he’s been a guest on people’s Twitch streams. And it turns out he really is just the nicest dude. He wears puppy slippers and plays the recorder.
