I’ll be honest. I cried so much making this.

This is the beginning of a memorial piece I intend to get tattooed, probably on my wrist. The feather needs to be thinner, especially at the bottom, as it will be a tail feather of my first bird Winter, who passed many years ago. We got Winter from an elderly woman who was losing the ability to care for her properly. We had two birds previously, but Winter was the first that was all mine.

The paw prints belong to my kitties, both passed last year, and I got both at 6 years old. The orange and white one belongs to Odie, my fat, “no really mom, it’s just fur!” cat. His diabetes went unnoticed until it was too late to save him. I attributed his weight loss and sluggishness to depression, as it was mere months after we had lost his brother Batman, to whom the black paw belongs. He was all black, but for the white star on his chest. He was always sickly, but it took me by surprise when I woke up one morning to find him unmoving and struggling to breathe.

Ok but like

Even if someone's sexuality or gender was a "phase"

Who tf cares???

I used to like zucchini growing up but now I don't. I used to be obsessed with with anime and now i'm not. I used to like the color pink and now I don't

I used to hate jeans now they're pretty much all I wear. I used to hate insects and now I think they're adorable. I used to hate someone who is now my best friend

Those were all phases. They were temporary. But that doesn't mean that I didn't actually feel that way while I was going through that phase

So yeah, maybe she is going through a bisexuality phase, or maybe it isn't a phase but instead who she actually is, either way it's not your fucking business

Maybe that boy is going through a trans phase, cool. Respect his gender and pronouns either way. Because it doesn't fucking matter whether he'll still use those pronouns in 5 years, he uses them now so respect it

Even if someone is going through a phase, why do you care? It doesn't personally affect you does it? It's not like their forcing you to become queer or trans, so shut the fuck up and respect them

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

I really enjoyed this one
