you inspired me.

"I broke into a million pieces, and I can't go back

But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass

"I love you" // "I love you too"

Cis men are trying to deflect and deny their manifest sexual abuse of women by creating the fictional 'trans women offender'.

If I weld a joint, and the CWI comes up behind me with a radiographic test for it and finds that I just laid hot metal on cold metal or it looks like a sponge inside, you know what’s gonna happen? You think they’re gonna give me a low score and tell me to move on? Fuck no. They’re gonna hand me a grinder and tell me to take it out and put it in right.

When there’s actual work to be done, we don’t leave it at the first attempt if that attempt was shit. We don’t leave a trail of “what’s done is done.” If it takes you four attempts, that’s what it takes, and next time it’ll take fewer because you learned how to do it right after the third time.

School, as it’s set up, with unforgiving deadlines and single attempt high stakes tests are building a shitty work ethic. It says “I tried once, and that’s all you’re getting.” It sets you up to leave a trail of cut losses and barely or unfinished projects as you scramble to get something, anything, turned in before the deadline.

Superman? You mean the ALIEN from a DIFFERENT PLANET who WAS NOT BORN IN AMERICA BUT GREW UP THERE??? The one created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who were both children of IMMIGRANTS???
