queer is such a great word

Queer is the word that protected me for decades as I figured out who I was and still protects me when I want to speak and be seen without being forced to come out in specificity to random strangers.

Queer is the word that never makes me feel left out. The acronym says “you’re less important, you’re an afterthought, you’re a throwaway plus sign”. Queer says “you belong here”.

having both anxiety and depression is like that post about washing your meds down with redbull. you’d like to think that the constant fear of failure caused by your anxiety would cancel out the lack of motivation you feel thanks to your depression, but no. they are both working so very much and you cannot stop it.

It’s entering the final boss stage where the music kicks in, but they don’t spawn.

Like what the hell is wrong with the person who subs tharntype why am I reading lyrics instead of the actual dialogue? Make it make sense???

“No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly.” I’ve had the misfortune of encountering some people who really, really, really need this drilling into their skulls.

“No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly.”

[psst. hey. it wasn’t the trauma that made you stronger, kinder, and more empathetic.] [it’s how you handled it] [that credit is yours.]

I mean, these are hobbits. the annual Best Garden Contest IS something Very Important!

somebody asks Bilbo about it and he answers, truthfully, that it’s one of the most important events of the Hobbiton social calendar and they’re like ah… that does sound important

The best garden contest is perhaps the most ruthless, cut-throat, and vicious contest in hobbitish culture. Families have been fractured, blood-feuds sworn, and casseroles thrown out to feed the pigs instead of eaten. It is Very Serious Business and Big Folk may sigh and shake their heads, but when it comes to gardening, it has been known for a Hobbit to take a tea-kettle and beat a goblin to death with it for daring uproot their award winning roses (that said Hobbit might have been Bilbo’s younges aunt, a Brandybuck now by marriage, was completely beside the point). You do not mess with the Gardening Contest, and more importantly, you don’t get caught messing with the contest either.

This is why Sam was able to walk all the way to Mordor with Frodo. Frodo may be the Ring Bearer ™ but Samwise Gamgee has won The Best Garden Competition 3 times in a row and Sauron himself is nowhere near as tough as that

can i just say that ‘hobbits are the most ridiculously competitive and cut-throat race of middle earth’ is probably my favorite thing ever

Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.

i was giving little wagon rides to a baby around the backyard one day and all of a sudden she hops off and slaps the seat of the wagon telling me to get on because it was my turn and i was like no it’s ok im too heavy and she was like NO ITS UR TURN and kept tugging on my hand so i would sit down. eventually i got on and it was just a little 2 year old trying so hard to push me around on a wagon not understanding why it wouldn’t budge but still so determined to let me have my turn lol

Teach them kindness.

my little cousin is 3 and she stands there and goes “you’re doing it!” whenever i’m like, making food for us, or doing the laundry, or pushing her in a stroller up a hill. she is the most encouraging sweetheart.
