'Til My Dying Day

ok RUDE

not she berry or he berry but no berry

[ Begin ID: A screenshot of a Letterbox review by Georgia Coley for the movie My Cousin Vinney. It's been rated four and a half stars, and was "Watched Nov 26, 2020". The review reads: "I'm a man who is very content with his gender identity, but i must admit there's part of me that wants nothing more than to literally just be Marisa Tomei in this movie and wear all those delightful leather jackets and backless catsuits while talking in that New York accent

reminder that you cannot call people or things "retarded" around me. we will have a conversation where I explain that I can still tell you the names of 62 people for which I was legally responsible. I will tell you that I loved them

if we're friends, you can call me a faggot. there can be a lot of tenderness in that. I got beat up and bullied and just generally treated like a detestable freak by people who called me that word while they did it. hearing it spoken by a loved voice, with clear affection, can be beautiful. it can feel like understanding, forgiveness, absolution, permission, and a thousand other wonderful things. it can be beautiful.

a lady with a developmental disability once explained to me that she'd overheard some kids calling each other retarded in the mall we'd visited earlier that day. searching for something to say that might comfort her, I explained that they don't know anything about people like her and so they weren't really talking about her, just being ignorant.
