Beth. She/Her pronouns. Queer. From Blighty (aka Britain). Probably too old to be on tumblr as I'm in my 30's, but here I am. I might accidentally talk about the Harry Potter books too much, but that’s not my fault... (J.K. Rowling wrote them after all!). I do talk, and reblog posts about depression and anxiety, but I do tag these if you want to block them. Current state of mind: “my shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance”

I don't want to make ““doctor’s appointments””and ““schedule a follow up.”” I want to be coaxed gently into a crate and taken to the vet.

Doctor: "what kind of contraception do you use?"

Suzi: "Is the undercut and doc martens not enough?"

This is going to be my new favourite question to asked queer women.

What's your contraception? Mine is bow ties and blazers :)

Gosh, some people can't read me at all. Or is it masking that's covering things.

Oh well
