CCS Fanart, Rewatching it for 999th+ time. 

You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station

You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence

You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way

Dice up a yellow onion and cook that in oil until the onions are translucent

Throw in as many cloves of garlic minced as your heart desires and after a minute throw in chopped carrots and celery and cook until it feels right

Pour in your water and the soup mix, add any other spices you want at this time (I added fresh parsley thyme and dill along with black pepper and some chicken bouillon)

Once its at a boil, before you add your matzah balls dump the contents of 1 shredded rotesserie chicken in

(Side note, to give your matzah balls some oomph i recommend spicing the mix up with whatever mix of spices you want)

Yeah trans people get the “what’s in your underpants hehe” questions from cishet people all the time but like.. some of y’all also make assumptions while trying to be supportive? Like, I really need y’all to understand that there are trans women with vaginas and trans men with penises. You simply cannot treat all trans women as though they have a girldick and you cannot treat all trans men like they have a boypussy. Gender Affirming Surgery has been around longer than most of you were even a twinkle in your daddy’s eye (literally the 1950s, making bottom surgery 70 years old) and some of you still act like there isn’t a significant portion of trans people who have had it or have a goal to get it.

It’s totally fine to not want to get it/be no-op, but I have also met trans women who have confided with me that they have severe bottom dysphoria but do not want to undergo GAS because they are worried partners will be disappointed by it. And that’s fucking sad. I just feel like the commodification of trans bodies as a fetish has led to this idea that what genitals you have determines if you are trans or not, which is just ridiculous. It’s the same transphobic rhetoric that people use to justify not dating trans people because of “genital preference” when they literally have no clue what genitals a trans woman or man has.

Look at every city. The nicest buildings are usually the post office and the library.

We need libraries. They are a reflection of our society. Cops do not need more money, especially at the expense of libraries.

there was one time that stands out to me in particular because a fashion magazine had done an interview with me and subsequently sent folks to do a photoshoot to accompany the article. they had a stylist they sent down to select clothes for the photo shoot who, i am dead serious, was picking out clothing they thought fit The Homeless Teenager Aesthetic. artfully pre torn and frayed $250 jeans (studded, for extra Edge, with a skull design. in rhinestones.) a $70 tank top with Graffiti Print Design. (the clothes did, in fact, still all have price tags on; i gathered they had some sort of policy around keeping them in Like New condition for… return? reuse on different photoshoots? i wasn’t really clear on what happened after they had served out their life making real homeless teenagers look fake homeless.)

i tried explaining that this was Kind Of Silly and didn’t actually look anything like the clothes i wore, since what with the homelessness and it being chicago and, uh, cold, i preferred my clothes as hole-free as possible for as long as possible in order to be alive.

but they were very insistent. people will expect you to look the part.
