do y'all ever wake up in the middle of the night and think about how since IVF produces twins at a higher rate than using a donor does and how a lot of queer couples opt for IVF instead of a donor, for a variety of reasons to do with genetics and success rates and the yuck factor of the whole donor situation, and how that probably means that now twins aren't just more common across the board bc of IVF, they are Disproportionately more common for queer couples when compared to the era pre IVF availability.

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

i love when a character’s worst traits become, against all odds and against their will, what saves them. when their irrational paranoia suddenly becomes right. when their obsessive vendetta suddenly makes them useful. when their cowardice leaves them the only person left to carry on

imagine being a lonely introverted kid and you don’t get along with your peers and one day a frankly very sketchy individual shows up at your door and next thing you know you’re sneaking out of the house with said sketchy individual (it’s okay because you’re friends now) and the two of you break, like, so many laws but it’s okay because you were doing it to help people. and also your new friend let you do surgery on it.

do you swear to tell not the truth, not even a little bit of the truth, and everything but the truth

"Can such-and-such a person ever be redeemed?" I don't believe there is or could be or needs to be such a thing as redemption because I am not a Catholic, therefore the question is vacuous and incoherent. Next question.

What about redeemed like a voucher? Can you turn in Jim Kirk at the customer service counter for 40% off your purchase? Does Galadriel get you in store credit? Can you go to the bar and exchange Twilight Sparkle for a shitty beer?

Problematic characters can be redeemed at waffle house for a free omelet

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worse thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

When I taught high school, I made sure to tell my students they are strong for braving youth. Adults so rarely take the time to validate how difficult being a kid is! And especially as someone whose life really turned around in my early twenties, I see it as vital that they understand that whatever they have now isn’t necessarily the best they’ll ever get — and that hating it (rightfully, because it probably sucks!) doesn’t make them ungrateful.
