"what if a dangerous man pretends to be trans to-" what if we actually dealt with the underlying causes of dangerous men. what if predators faced real consequences more often. what if you stopped using trans women as a proxy for your grievances with liberal feminism's individualist denial of the need to fight systemic issues.
what if you stopped assigning blame for patriarchy's evils to one of its more vulnerable victim groups.

Book conservationist Nobuo Okano repairs tattered books to make them look brand new:
today my baby fic has grown just a bit it's a Klaus retelling with the marauders and in chapter 2 we finally meet Remus!
Postmarked on ao3 (and now with ch 2)
being mutuals is like we’ve never talked but i saw your vent post and do you want me to kill that person for you. still won’t talk to you tho bc that is scary sorry. love you
don’t be scared to live lovingly. compliment your friends on the little things and cheer for live bands in small cafes and leave tips when you can. tell the person you saw that you really like their shirt and write cards and letters to the people you love. make playlists for people and don’t be afraid to express your appreciation for others. life is so much better when you live it with love.
If this doesn’t show how broken American higher education is, nothing will.

Pinoe doubles up vs. Australia

KO WAS FREED!! AND BLOODIED!! ALL IN ONE GAME!!
200th Cap, Captain, Game Winning Goal… Just Carli Lloyd Things
they don’t call her captain clutch for nothin’
when everyone’s hearts collectively skipped a beat or two… or five
HAO WAS FREED!!!
when we all got a headache at the same time
eggs, bacon, grits…. MISSED IT
the soccer gods are real
when everyone wanted to give JJ a hug
when Carli Lloyd teaches Sasic a lesson in PK taking
I have no idea what y’all are talking about. she obviously shouted “FIRE.”

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc
This might sound silly, but anything that makes you want to stick around on this godawful earth any longer is worth it. Fandom is worth it. Talking about your favorite characters is worth it. Imagining silly little stories or angst to process your grief is worth it. Please do whatever you need to do to stay alive. Fight for joy in the places you can find it. Your community wouldn’t be the same without you
