The King of Wishful Thinking

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

I- I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT

a foot fetishist told me my feet were weird at a party once. do you know how humiliating it is to have your feelings hurt by the foot dude

I don’t see them protesting to shut off military spending or at least demanding an end to targeted attacks on largely civilian areas. It’s almost as if they really don’t care about life, only about who gets to wield the authority to determine life and death. And that’s white men. That’s really what this is all about.

man like. being lgbt kind of ruins time with relatives in a very specific way that cishets will never truly experience. like family time can be rough tm but theres a special brand of discomfort that lgbt people face and it’s kinda wild

It’s the specific feeling of “these people’s love is entirely conditional, and I know exactly what the conditions are, and one day I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and come out and none of these people will love me anymore”. It’s not a feeling cishet ppl experience for obvious reasons.

Even with family that Accepts You tm, theres always this level of “I can only talk about being gay so much before it gets Uncomfortable. I cant actually talk about dating bc someone will look like they ate a raw lemon whole eventually until I’m told I’m oversharing and then conversation will turn to Perfect Cousin with her Perfect Husband and When Are We Going To See Babies? Are they trying? How often? And just….its annoying that it still has to be Rough tm when u do come out and for the most part ur still loved an accepted, but u cant actually talk about it too much, even in the sense of Finding Someone or Boo Evil Politics bc ppl will STILL get visibly uncomfortable

Me to my student: You need to pare things down. Just, like, Marie Kondo this whole paragraph. Student, softly to herself: Does this clause spark joy??

EXCELLENT WRITING ADVICE

infants are so goddamn funny. i was holding my niece today and i just told her “i diagnose you with baby” and she stared at me with the absolute widest eyes like i’d just told her the secret to life itself so i nodded and went “it’s true! you’re just baby” and she stopped for a few seconds, then absolutely YELLED her little head off, very seriously informed me, “ABABABABABAAAAA” and faceplanted into my shoulder, where she promptly began to try to eat my shirt

as god is her witness she will get you laid and comprehensive healthcare

The future liberals want.
