being closeted in a conservative, conformist town and then seeing a visibly queer person out in public is like seeing an angel. like finding cool water in a hot desert. like reuniting with a long lost family member. im gonna cry

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

hello allo tumblr user, just out of curiosity why are you always saying "aroace people can still choose to date and have sex!" and never "allo people can still choose not to date or have sex!" just out of curiosity of course! come closer! i just wanna talk! come closer!

hello allo tumblr user why is it that whenever discussing aspec people you always feel the need to bring up that asexuals can be perverts and make the best smut fics or nsfw art? or that aromantics can participate in fandom shipping and write really good romance? why is that? can we reflect on the implications that aspec people have to prove their worth to you by conforming in a way that entertains you? can we talk about this? come closer! come closer!

You know, even if we could objectively measure suffering and oppression, it would still be a dick move to tell someone that they can't talk about what they're going through because you have it worse.

"You only get one family" is true, but not in the way that people who like to say that think it is. You only get one family, the first one is free. If that one sucks or it's just not a good match, you can get a new one but you're gonna have to find that one yourself.

hey boy don't kill yourself. green's dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there's a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 "to kneel at the altar" was slang for "to sodomize"

The thing about anti-libby posts, because ebooks have to be paid for yearly while physical books only have to be paid for once, is that yes, physical books are cheaper for the library to acquire- but the library has a budget they chose to allocate, whether it's on software, subscriptions to digital encyclopedias, or ebook rentals. If they chose to rent ebooks, it was because they want you to read them, and using any of their services looks good for them. Check out physical books by all means, but don't feel guilty about checking out ebooks.
