So this past summer I was a Counselor in Training at a Girl Scout camp and we were dared to try and start a trend. A bunch of veteran counselors told us that it couldn’t be done and not all the girls would do it, but we tried anyways. All 9 of us wore “space buns” (two little buns on the top of your head) on morning and by the time lunch was over everyone was asking us to do it to their hair. The girlies with short hair, we did little pig tails. By dinner, Every. Single. Camper. Had space buns or something equivalent. Some 100 girls, looking adorable with little buns and smiles on their faces. I will never forget the look on the head directors face. Hilarious.
I love my girls
Seeing a lot of misinformation flying around regarding lesbian flags this year, particularly the pink one, so here’s my attempt to set the record straight!
FAQ/Common Misconceptions and Sources are listed below the cut - if anything in this post contradicts what you’ve heard, I’d encourage you to read through them before responding.

My dear lgbt+ kids,
No matter if you are trans, nonbinary or cis. No matter who you are attracted to or not. No matter if you feel sexual attraction or not:
Wanting to have a family one day is okay.
The desire to be a parent one day is not a “secret hetero fantasy” or a “sign you’re just going through a phase” or any silly stuff like that. A happy family is not something only cis, straight people are allowed to dream of!
It’s okay to dream of marriage and raising kids together with the love of your life. It’s okay to dream of being a single parent. It’s okay to dream of co-parenthood (like raising kids with a best friend you’re not romantically involved with).
Your dreams may fully fit in with the “traditional” family or not at all - both is okay and neither means you are “weird”.
It’s even okay to crave pregnancy or be sad because you can’t physically get pregnant. You’re not ridiculous and again, no, this does not mean you are secretly straight. “Baby Fever” is not a straights-only thing, and certainly not a cis-only thing either.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Mom
PS: And no, you’ll not “ruin the life of your future kids”. Queer parents are not bad for a child - Bad parents are.
fun bilingual things
- you know the word in second language but not first - your notes sometimes are in both languages at once. some words are quicker to write than their equivalents - phone autocorrects to wrong language - the words that are the same but slightly different in your two languages are always spelled the wrong way. no matter what. - certain memories only available in one language - music genres?? u like maybe alternative and pop music in your first language but like rap and musical theatre in your second - u know what verb tenses are called in your second language but not in your first - saying bullshit like “close the lights please” because it’s idiomatically correct but not in english
All Star but it’s in a minor key so it makes you question life and realize the years start comin and they don’t stop comin
