The Void

I just walked up to my teacher and said ‘I have to go fight a squirrel,’ HE JUST GOES ‘ok’ AND GOES BACK TO HIS COMPUTER. I JUST WALKED OUT OF CLASS

So, earlier today my younger brother was telling us about a play his class is going to put on. Apparently he got to choose his role, guess what he picked? My little brother chose to be the PRINCESS. He’s in kindergarten. His class doesn’t have a problem with it. My family simply congratulated him on his role. I’m so proud.

So, I’m in the library. This one girl is reading a book about the US Gov or something, and she just burst out laughing before plopping it down on a ‘fiction’ shelf and walking out. I don’t what it said but I felt her on this.

To cuddle with the laser puppies from ‘Star vs. the Forces of Evil’

Is that…just…a regular hang-out spot for her??

Ok, so I am traveling to the UK tomorrow. In order to balance travel plans and sleep schedules, I am going to have to stay up all night, sleep on the plane, and wake up with the UK. This is my very first attempt at an all-nighter, but I’m a writer so this will hopefully come naturally. I will update.

9:04 pm, I have eaten many fries and am watching Parks and Rec while sailing through the internet. I kind of want ice cream. I should eat some.

11:27 pm, I am currently wrestling with myself. Me: I want to lie down. Me to Me: No. Bed is enemy. Me to Me to Me: But we’re tiiiiired😭

11:53 pm, My dogs breath really loudly. “Mm- HUEH. Mm- HUEH.” All night. I am also trying to get my sister to go to bed. (I have not been successful thus far)

1:09 am. My WORD. I’m tired. Good thing I have webtoons to keep me going. But at the same time, is civilization worth it? Maybe I should run away… to live life as a beaver.

- You are still gender-fluid in whatever you are wearing. And I will respect and love your pronouns. YOU ARE GENDER-FLUID

There are a million genders, and infinite pronouns. Not all could be listed here, due to my sadly limited knowledge. But, YOU ARE YOU. You can have any name, any clothes, and body, and style, any sexuality, and any friends. You can be a Demi girl. A Demi boy. A non-binary human with a particular connection to another gender. And I will be your ally.

I will correct those you misgender you and get your name wrong. I will correct them so you don’t have to.

I will send you links to free binders because I know you can’t afford one.

I will stay up all night with you as we brainstorm your perfect name.

I will compliment you. Not just say you are ‘passing well.’

I will tell your family they are wrong about you.

I will share my cupcakes even though I bought them. (STEVE.)

I will send you memes in the middle of the day. Or the night. I don’t really sleep.

I will listen to you rant about Lord of The Rings even though the movies are too long and I can’t seem to finish the books.

I will let you feed my hermit crabs because they’re cool and I’m proud of them even though all they do is sleep and climb around.
