here to read and write and care about stuff that makes me happy. very skilled at ignoring the stuff that doesn't.

When the 118 find out about Buck’s secret thirst account on Instagram – to raise fire safety awareness, of course – they make fun of him the appropriate amount and move on. Eddie, who has had some recent and birthmark-shaped revelations about his feelings, finds it a little harder to do the same.
Of course, Eddie would never invade Buck’s privacy by searching for and finding the anonymous account. Or looking at all the uploaded photos late at night. Or even directly messaging Buck’s secret account. That would be weird, because he’s certainly not planning on doing anything about his newfound attraction, obviously.
However, anonymous account @elbombero118 has no such limitations.
snippet below:
With his gut twisting itself up, Eddie writes out a reply.
@elbombero118: Tell me about him. Your crush. Maybe that’ll help forget the weird version of him from your dream.
That’s a pathetic excuse, but Eddie doesn’t care. It’s as close as he can physically get to casual interest, as if he’s curious as a friend and not as someone who might be forced to hunt down a man with his car in the next twenty four hours. He waits desperately for Buck's reply.
@firehoseLA: jeez. r u sure? I feel like I could talk about him for hours. It’s so embarrassing.
@elbombero118: Go for it. What else are we gonna talk about at 2am?
@firehoseLA: ok ok. he’s…
@firehoseLA: I dunno man. he’s kind of everything to me.
Eddie feels sick.
@firehoseLA: like, physically? he’s brunette, shorter and smaller than me, and also probably the most attractive man in California. Like objectively speaking. He’s gorgeous, and then I’m biased on top of that because I feel so much for him, you know? so when I see him it feels like my brain is just… leaking out of my ears. it’s so dumb.
@firehoseLA: but there’s everything else to him as well. He’s hilarious, and smart as hell, and emotionally intelligent too. He’s kind – he’s one of the best people I know. u know? He’s just good, through and through.
Eddie has never before hated someone like he hates this guy who he’s never met.
Somehow, when Eddie wasn’t looking, Buck fell in love.
This isn’t a crush, this is- it doesn’t take a genius to read into the hundred word essay on how much Buck is in love.
Buck fell in love with some 5’7” male model Mother fucking Theresa, while Eddie was too busy screaming holes into his own bedroom wall.
It’s like reading a list of everything Eddie isn’t. Like Eddie lost a fight he didn’t even know he was in the ring for, that he didn’t know he wanted to win. Eddie’s a male brunette and apparently that’s where the similarities end. Because Eddie isn’t good, or small and slight, or emotionally intelligent. He’s basically the same size as Buck, and he doesn’t crack jokes, and he’s certainly not handsome, not like Buck sees everyday working in LA, not like the women Buck has dated. He has cauliflower ears and a scar crosshatching his lip and his body is riddled with bullet holes. Eddie is a caved-in well of dirt and mess, sucking in everyone around him, lashing out even when they’re only kind. Eddie isn’t a good man, far from it, not with all his baggage and meanness and desires.
@elbombero118: Sounds like a great guy.
@firehoseLA: he is. definitely better than me!
@elbombero118: I doubt that.
@firehoseLA: u know him, then?
@elbombero118: No.
@elbombero118: But I like to think I know you.
@elbombero118: Anyway, I’m assuming he doesn’t run a thirst account for fire safety.
@elbombero118: So you’ve got him beat there.
@firehoseLA: LOL. no absolutely not, though if he ever did… I think he could get the whole state to test their fire alarms with one selfie.

I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!
This is Linda, 60
Alexis, 64
Helena, 63
Kendrah, 72 (!!)
Tasha, 65
It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖
TIL that in medieval times trebuchets were sometimes used during tournaments to bombard the watching ladies with roses, and there is something so inherently comedic about this to me. picture me blasting roses at my lover's window with the force of a battlefield assault to win her hand

"Human rights groups are increasingly struggling to verify tolls as Italy, Tunisia and Malta have quietly restricted information on migrant rescues and shipwrecks along the deadliest migration route in the world. The news barely makes headlines, in part because the lack of transparency prevents journalists from confirming reports.
“It’s a strategy of silence,” said Matteo Villa, a researcher focusing on migration and data at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies think tank."
The Associated Press repeatedly asked authorities in Tunisia, Italy and Malta why they aren’t sharing information related to migrant rescues at sea and what their policies are. Not one responded.
my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade
Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

So.. Who else completed Veilguard for the first time just recently? Actually, I completed it for the second time, but right after the first one. Guess why? In the first playthrough I choose Minrathous.
Love him whithout line too!
I don't know who owns this screenshot, if you know please let me know!
Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!
The thing about Harry making it to the New Year’s party is not that it’s a materially now or never situation. like she’s not moving across the country or getting married or anything, as later romcoms tend to do. The ticking clock is only symbolic, because the party is purely symbolic in their relationship. He has to get to the party as fast as he can, before she leaves, because those parties were an important part of their friendship, and it would mean a lot to Sally. And because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. That’s why it works.

If you see the quote "I refuse to share my body with a man who wouldn't defend it politically" or any variation of it floating around the internet — it was Kat Blaque who originally said it and she would really appreciate it if people gave her proper credit for it but it's gone viral on a lot of different platforms and most of the people sharing it don't know it's from her or choose not to credit her on purpose.
