I'm back you sorry bastards!

Look at me like he can’t believe I exist

In response to some things people have said:

Thank you to everyone who offered their congratulations! I came out as nonbinary and use they/them or zey/zem pronouns. My family has continued to not bat an eye and life feels pretty good.

A lot of people are saying that they're not surprised my aunt and uncle "came into children", some even saying that they've been offered kids multiple times. I'd just like to say I am concerned about your life/area you live/social circle if children are such an easily aquired asset.

Finally, I figured you guys would get a kick out of knowing that finding out my uncle was trans was actually the least surprising thing that was revealed in that conversation! That's right folks, it turns out my great grandma committed insurance fraud! By making up an entire house fire! The "great house fire of '74" as it's been known in my family, the infamous house fire which supposedly destroyed all of our family photos and heirlooms and that my family has talked about since literally before I was born was actually just a hoax invented by my great grandma to collect the insurance. And everyone in my family just. Went along with it. Also apparently the reason we "lost" our family photos is my uncle seized the opportunity to hide all of his pre-trlansition photos, but figured it'd look suspicious if only his photos were missing so he hid them all.

To make things even crazier, I was then treated to a tour of my grandma's attic where I was shown the "lost" family photos (some of which date as far back as the 1880s!) and our "heirlooms" which include but are not limited to: a diamond encrusted broach supposedly from the 1780s, a variety of german and dutch oil paintings, and an honest to god actual 8" solid gold statue of the virgin mary. I have no idea how any of these items were aquired and was given vague half answers when I asked.

do you ever think about how dream seems to have a really dominant personality when he's interacting with other people but george can just wrap him around his finger like it's nothing

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps
