#div rants

this woman knows that my legal name is different from the name she calls me. she has apparently assumed this is my second name.

and now, she found out I'm going to be the RA for All Gender Housing next year and her first reaction was "oh...and are you...cool with that...?" GIRLY I LOVE YOU BUT CONNECT THE DOTS

i have a question for y’all...should I make a twitter? 5 notes and I will! let me know!

I've never been happier

these last 24 hours were spent completely amongst my queer, disabled peers: I went to an underground concert last night, got home at 3 am to listen to some super funny audios by a friend. got up at 12 and met up with friends for hours in the afternoon.

I didn't hear a single dead name or female pronoun. I could be unapologetic about drinking or smoking or going to a kinda nsfw concert. I got everyone's jokes and if I didn't they were more than willing to explain. everyone around me makes accommodation for my disability without even a second thought.

I wanted to scream and cry and cancel everything but my friends told me "literally just come and move less than we originally planned, it's so okay"

they have carried my things for me when I needed to use both my crutches, helped me around the beach when using crutches was unfeasible bc of sand, traded beds with me bc my mattress sucked ass, left me the fuck alone when I said I needed a moment to cry in pain by myself and hugged me afterwards when I asked for it

and I wanna let yall know that I helped them back. I watch out for my friend to take her meds, for another's food sensitivity issues, for another's RSD that tends to get really bad in group situation when they feel left out

this isn't an exchange, friends just help each other out. if I wasn't doing anything for them, they would've still helped me with my mobility. and if they weren't helping me with my mobility, I would still help them as well

if you're not the one to say "well it wasn't a happy thanksgiving for the murdered indigenous people", "well we don't really use x term to refer to this group of people anymore", "well actually those protesters had a lot of good reasons, you can check this website for info"; no one will

and someone in your family will really appreciate it. my cousing was the annoying activist in the family and she is the single reason why i heard the term "transgender" in the first place. my family isn't excessively close minded but my grandparents lead a lot of the conversations so if she hadn't been "the leftist spectacle" each holiday, i'm not sure i'd be the person i am today
