may the flame that burns inside us burn everything around us

gender envy is nice but what about gender appreciation? what if i don't exactly wanna go with my own gender in that direction but i'm still like "love what you've done with the place" when seeing someone's gender presentation?

richard nixon is q*eer because he did watergate, subverting the societal expectation we all had for him to not do watergate

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)

nobody else doing it like me. particularly because the way i’m doing it is needlessly difficult

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless

theoryslop. you only believe in it because it has evidence supported by and relating to the narrative and themes of the work

There are certain privileges that come with say being in prison like you get a roof over your head and food every day. And if you are homeless you can easily die of starvation on the street roasted under the summer sun or chased and beaten to death by officers similar to the prison guards that shackle the prisoner. But would you call the prisoner privileged or tell them they’re being hyperbolic for what they’re experiencing bc it’s not homelessness? That’s what some of the conversations around privilege sound like on here sometimes it just gets really weird and misguided but whatever

i love people who are continuously surprised that there aren’t men kissing in marvel

I don’t even think the het couples are fucking
