ask not for whom the bell tolls, I don,t fucking knoww

recently saw a comment section full of people, primarily women, talking about loving living with their best friend and being sad about having to live separately one day. some people talking about missing living with their best friend, some talking about “getting” to live with their best friend “until” they find partners. saw one person mention that moving out to move in with a partner felt like a divorce. it makes me so genuinely sad… all these people recognizing the joy they can find living outside the norm, letting themself live with a friend instead of a romantic partner, but still feeling like they have to live with a spouse eventually. like it’s not even a decision, just an inevitability.

similarly, it makes me sad when someone shares their happiness from living with a friend with others and the biggest response is people insisting/assuming they must have a secret unrecognized romantic connection. just taking over a moment of joy to insist they’re wrong about their own life and feelings; all to reinforce the lifestyle everyone is already expected to conform to eventually…

"drawing a trans woman with broad shoulders is transphobic" I'm a trans woman and I have broad shoulders and I like seeing people like me being depicted as beautiful

“You shouldn’t draw trans characters like this” and then it’s a picture of me. And then it’s a picture of my friends. And then it’s a picture of my family. And they’re all the most beautiful people I know.

you are not an endearingly rude and unfriendly cartoon character you need to be nice to people
