A life without trans people in it is a pretty shitty life.

I need to be a xanned out housewife and just not look at the news

im so old but i dont think I like using StoryGraph and seeing reading as a statistic

it’s kind of nuts that I know two people who are getting fired bc of musk like ???

it’s actually exhausting not taking anything for granted and saying I love you all the time. actually taking things for granted is nice and may we all be able to feel peace and comfort and silliness and not think of the worse thing that could happen when someone walks out the door

rich people are too concerned with living forever instead of their actual legacy. build a train that works and name it after yourself. fund the arts. stop chugging collagen and digesting infant blood and being a little bitch

No one says “woke” more than republicans they’re obsessed with that word

I know all presidents are bad etc etc but it feels so insane to have a fascist moron run the country for four years

if you ever think about how the world got more conservative bc of the internet you just don’t want to be on the internet at all

feel scared and disgusted by the amount of people who have said well it’s only criminals he’s deporting

hey so not only is this explicitly targeting trans youth, it is also state-mandated propaganda, which is something im pretty sure ive been told “our enemies” do

it’s so arbitrary to rate a movie I’m not doing that shit anymore

While watching Nosferatu, a doctor states "She will rave all night." Willem Dafoe's character strongly states, "Then rave she must!" Simultaneously, I and basically our entire row of friends start quietly dancing, miming glowsticks. This is part of why we sit in the very back row. Then I made this

Finally slept in our apartment after six weeks of being gone and dreamt of keep our cat safe from the streets …. His parasites are creeping back in

Every day I’m so depressed about the state of literacy in the US
