ugh

my blasphemous hair secret is that if you're using semipermanent dye, that's pure pigment, no chemical processes. so you can leave it on your hair as long as you want. So i try to keep it on for at least 3 hours to get as much pigment in there as i possibly can for suuper vibrant color that will last forever (not actually forever but you get it)

my third blasphemous secret is summoning ghosts

who is the most famous person you’ve interacted with either online or in person?

Had guy fiery sign my sketch book but it was a loud bar so he went “SEX BOOK?” Then immediately grabbed it and started flipping through it and went “ahhh sketch book” and signed a random page

I forgot to mention he signed it “love, peace, and taco grease”

pioneering something called “gritted teeth optimism” where everything is gonna turn out okay even if i have to bite and claw and gnash my way through it

haunted dolls are cool not scary like bro there's a friend in there

i feel like no one really wants to hear that sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration are major factors in treating mental health issues bc we’ve all talked to that person who thinks your depression would be cured by one good session of goat yoga or whatever but unfortunately they do help and i’m chronically annoyed about it

That’s when we were all using “teh”

We all just shut up in 2009.

the archive, when it comes to trans people, records violence.

Oh, absolutely! The funeral industry is sooo new relative to the history all of mankind, and previously funerals were performed by family, including handling of the body. A spouse or family member generally wouldn’t go around outing their loved one after their death, so of course most of the people who we would call transgender today went unknown. That’s not even going into cultures where gender was more complicated than just man or woman. Transgender people have always existed and have always been loved and when a person isn’t remarkable in some way they go just like the rest of us. Into the ground and lost to history.

This goes along very well with the original intent of the “well-behaved women rarely make history” quote. That goes for queer people as well. Trans people lived their lives, gay people often went unmarried or married out of necessity. Sometimes their families even accepted them for who they were. These people didn’t stand out, didn’t make the historical record. That doesn’t negate the fact that they were people and they were here.

how many ancestors went up in smoke with their letters and diaries after their deaths- and how many, much as we cry out to know them now, were happier in life for their anonymity?
