Sometimes I forget how young I am, I have time. There’s enough time.

I really needed to read this.

lgbt actually means lasagne, gnocchi, buccatini and tortellini

I get jealous really easily but not like an angry vengeful jealous more like a really sad lonely jealous because everybody likes everybody more than they like me and I really really don’t blame them.

Okay, but seriously on the topic of straight people being so overly concerned about their children being exposed to homosexuality…

As some of you know, I am a makeup artist in a holistic beauty boutique in a very wealthy area of eastern New York. The week before Halloween I was offering simple costume makeup designs for both adults and children. So my last client of the evening was a 15 year old girl who came in to get her makeup done for the Halloween dance at her school. I was enjoying a conversation with both the girl and her mother when suddenly the topic of transgender came up. I got a little nervous because I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when I hear people speaking negatively about these sorts of topics and as I mentioned, my store is in a very upscale, white, conservative area…

Anyway, the girl starts telling us that her friend prefers to be a boy now. She says it very simply and comfortably and it made me happy to see her talk about it as if it was really no big deal.

Her mother says

“How does she even know what transgender is though? She’s a little young to be making a decision like that. I really think the media is taking things too far with all this gay stuff. I’m not against it or anything, but didn’t you just tell me two boys in your class are dating too?”

The girl said that yes, two boys she knew were dating and another boy she knew was gay also. (And she also corrected the pronouns her mother used for her friend)

“I don’t mind that she knows that homosexuality is,” the mother said. “But I don’t think it should be taught at such a young age. Did you know it’s on Disney channel now?”

It took me a moment to respond, I just kept painting the girl’s face until I could figure out what I wanted to say.

“Well,” I said. “We tend to teach heterosexuality literally from the time a child is born. Most children’s books and movies are even centered around a romance of some kind like a Prince and a Princess for example. There’s rarely a children’s movie that comes out where the main male and female character don’t end up marrying each other in the end. If we don’t have a problem flooding our children’s minds with heterosexuality from the time they are able to sit up and watch a movie on their own, what is so wrong with showing them two boys or two girls being in love? We aren’t showing them sex. We aren’t showing them anything inappropriate. Since when is love inappropriate? If we show them love in all it’s forms (be it gay or straight) from an early age, they will see that it’s all perfectly normal and natural and maybe we can finally put homophobic the past…”

The woman considered this for a second and then said “I just feel like they see it and then they start to think that they might be too.”

“And maybe they are. But isn’t it better for them to know that it’s okay? They aren’t hurting anyone.”

Then the girl said. “No ones going around just thinking they are gay because they know what gay is, mom. I know what a chicken is, that doesn’t mean I’m going to wake up tomorrow and start clucking.”

I loved this kid. I hope she does well in all of her endeavors

[kamorth]

I’m not going to wake up tomorrow and start clucking

Dear everyone who is currently working on a Thing, whatever that Thing may be,

Good luck with the Thing. You can do the Thing. You will do the Thing. You just have to do the Thing.

Best wishes,

Someone who is also doing a Thing

i wish my spine was a sword. i wish my knuckles were steel and my teeth could cut leather. i wish i was made of diamonds, unbreakable, unfeeling, glittering in the sun. 

[my-words-are-light]

If your spine was a sword, you wouldn’t be able to bend over. Bending over is fun.

[inkskinned]

i wish my spine was one of those flexible rulers that i could use to rap across people’s hands. i wish my knuckles were crayola crayons so i left art on everything i punched. i wish my teeth were straight and i had money for college. i wish i was made of triangles with a 90 degree angle so i could always be right, unbreakable, unfeeling, geometrical in the sun

Winona Ryder is really out here giving interviews saying she may have “over acted” as her character Joyce Byers since she hasn’t gotten any nominations for awards since the show premiered, after she spent the last 3 years chugging water bottles on set to stay safely hydrated because she would have to be sobbing for 10 hours a day and I just seriously want to make a new awards show and nominate her 10 different times because she fucking deserves it

“no one likes to be around an eeyore”

excuse me eeyore had TONS OF FRIENDS, your statement is patently untrue according to WINNIE THE POOH CANON

[ten-and-donna]

The whole point of Eeyore’s character was that despite his depression, he had tons of friends and was always included in their lives.

[gothiccharmschool]

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

how the human brain works:

electricity tickles the meat so that different slimes come out. sometimes the slime feels good sometimes bad. some people make more bad slime than good slime. that’s called clinical depression.

[reverbpotato]

my biology textbook said it was more like a sauce

[lonelymountainson]

What is a sauce but slime with a purpose?

My boyfriend just woke up, mostly still asleep and told me “don’t worry, it’s getting better” in a heavy, American accent, which is unusual for an Australian man.

“Why are you American?” I asked, to which I got:

“Sorry, it’s getting better” in a stereotypical posh English accent.

“Why are you English?” I asked, amused.

“What is he normally?” He managed to ask.

“He? You’re not anyone else, you’re you.”

“Ugh, me” was the last thing he said, in a right proper Aussie accent before he fell back into proper sleep.

[neverblogidly]

Bitch just thwarted a ghost possession by judging his accents

[wideopenhighway]

My boyfriend would be gettin’ hit with the baseball bat beside our bed if he ever woke up and said, “What is he normally?” about himself.

[geekandmisandry]

Then you would NOT have liked the time he pointed to a corner of our room while he was sleeping and said “they share a dimension with Earth and they take cats to eat them”.

[tharook]

I absolutely do not like that.

[break-drown]

I just have to tell how awesome this show is. Af. I watched it all last night, I can’t get over it. So much feels I- uh. I’m so angry because it has been cancelled and it was pure quality. Anyway. It’s just great.
