US SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE IS CHANGING ITS NUMBER

ik i’m fine on my own but where is the love of my life

Conservatives yap and yap all the time about how kids don’t understand “woke” culture, but today the school age kids at the daycare had a field trip to a park and saw a really weird swing, and one immediately said “that’s for people with disabilities.”  And the others were like, “Oh, people with disabilities, yeah that makes sense.”  Like, the whole, clunky, politically correct phrase.  These are kids who spend most of their time on tablets and don’t like using five words when three words would do, and they said that phrase like it was natural to them.

Sometimes my kids will be making up characters and write pronouns on their pages.  One day a girl turned to me and said “This character is they/them.”  They don’t think of it as a foreign concept - different genders are just as new a concept to them as all the other stuff they’re learning at this age, and like all that stuff, they regard it not as something to fight about, but just another facet of the world to learn, understand, and incorporate into the stories they create.

The kids handle learning these things just fine.  It’s the adults who are moaning pissbabies about it.

when you talk about queer love, remember the queer love that isn’t romantic.

queer love can be two best friends who support each other through their transitions and go to pride together each glowing with admiration for the other

queer love can be siblings confiding in each other about the difficulties of growing up queer in a small town and still texting each other every day when they finally move away from home

queer love can be queerplatonic partners caring deeply for each other and redefining what a relationship can be

queer love can be a group of friends who bond in middle school, realize years later they’re all gay, and laugh and smile when they reminisce together about how far they’ve come

queer love can be a community coming together to give food, shelter, and unconditional support to a teenager who’s been rejected by his family and has nowhere to go

queer love can be two mothers supporting their daughter as she changes her name and buys the clothes that truly express her gender for the first time

whatever form it takes, queer love is life-changing and revolutionary. 

You tell a lot of people you love them..

That’s the point of living, dummy.

my dad, trying to explain the concept of money to me: say you have a sandwich, and i need your sandwich. but i don't have anything to give you. you're not just gonna give it to me.

me: i would just give it to you.

my dad:

I should kiss more women
