chronic exhaustion

i am delighted to inform you of the existence of the Rosefinch, which is a real actual bird that exists!

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

romance is a form of creativity. it is the ability to see the potential for beauty in the everyday. freezing flowers in ice so they release floral notes as they melt; learning to draw; taking the scenic way--these acts ask us to leave behind the pragmatic and pay attention to the fanciful, the sensory. in a world devoted to efficiency and productivity, living with romance is a way of reclaiming ones own life. it is a way of saying: being alive is worthwhile for its own sake because i make it so.

I fucking love this.

I love how there are people who are pissed off about the depiction of *fictional* fat people being active. These aren’t even real people, but the very idea of a fat person being active (or you know, living while being fat) and being depicted in a positive light is enough to bother some? 

no one:

trying to prove a point to the boys at school

So basically

So real question from someone who wants to be a good ally: if someone is trans and you knew them before they changed their pronouns, do you use the current pronouns to refer to their old self? Like, if Lindsey transitions from female to male (it is a gender neutral name, after all), and you have a fun story from when they were female, do you use she because that’s what they were at the time, or do you use he because that’s what they are now?
