sometimes you feel the urge to present each and every single one of your friends with a new bouquet of flowers every day and that's ok
(study on the works of Kathleen Speranza.)
What I love about the months is that they don't actually mean jack shit. What's the difference between August and September? Nothing. The name, that's all. But they're all blank. They're all in my future. Which means I can try again and again and again, and it doesn't matter if I succeed in October or February because they're all the same. They're all empty, waiting to be lived. I always get to try again.
Love love love how every single time Donna meets up with The Doctor again she's like "you're so fucking stupid biggest idiot in the universe wanna be platonic soulmates to the point where we're an extension of each other about it?"
I begging you all to stop calling Hozier a lesbian. The jokes were so funny in the beginning but there's too many of them now. the fact that he's a man, capable of so much love and devotion and to shamelessly sing about it, to own his emotions and thoughts is part of why his work is so important to me. As a bisexual person, one thing I had to destroy was the notion no one will love you as much as a woman, that women have the purest and more intense forms of loving, that a man could never love like that. A man is not inherently less loving for being a man. For the same reasons we've learned to not excuse a man for romanticlly neglecting you because of his AGAB, and demand better of them in our relationships, we cant do that if we dont recognise their ability to feel just as deeply and pass it as some "lesbian soul" bs instead.
THE CHAFF PROJECT
Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses.
Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.
You follow up with a letter to the business saying you're fucking furious because some nosy dipshit just tried to play fucking genital police with you in the loos. You know lots of trans people (don't name any, if you do) and you wear the pin in support and you're disgusted at them for allowing this.
Blame the business for allowing the behaviour.
Businesses see that their cis customers are getting bothered over a badge and may clarify trans-inclusive policies, so they can kick out the bathroom botherers instead of nice cis allies.
You only need to buy and wear the badge, and you are protecting trans people. You can be genuinely heroic. Even one cis person doing this helps, and everyone you get to join in helps even more.
