Actually life is beautiful because the sound I make while trying to breathe around hot food sounds like my dog trying to eat an apple. When I yawn my cat tries to put his face in my mouth like a little dentist man and when he yawns I put my finger in his obligate-carnivore trapzone and we both know he will not hurt me. When I do not fold my clothes, they do not hold it against me.
I am demonstrably sad, and lonely, and full of fear. But there are other people who will hold my hand, who will point out the hawk overhead, who will give you That Look in a public place. The other day at a coffee shop a child said "look! It's snowing!" so all of us strangers went to go look out the windows. It wasn't the first snow and it won't be the last but wasn't it lovely, like that?
How wonderful to live in a world where birds and frogs both say beep! How wonderful to have an ocean of beautiful sharks with their dinosaur teeth! How wonderful the moon and her changing face, how wonderful the bees and their dancing to communicate, how wonderful shrimp and their forbidden layers of vision! How wonderful, you, and what you will give the world! The way we love things enough to spend entire blogs devoted to them? How people will let me explain my Pokemon team to them? How we will both jump at the scare in the movie, how we laugh so loudly, how it feels to give someone your baking? How wonderful to be alive. I am sorry for forgetting.
This is the process of getting better. With wonderful people and wonderful strangers and wonderful friends: I am getting better, slowly. Thank you, whoever you are. In some way, you've been wonderful, and left a wonderful place in the world to ripple out to me. In some small way - isn't it beautiful - I promise, you've been helping.

let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out
"We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" how about you go fuck yourself
A middle school in Achille, Oklahoma is closed following violent threats by parents on social media against Maddie, a 12-year-old transgender student who identifies as female and used the girls’ bathroom.
Maddie had been using the staff bathroom at her old school but used the girls’ bathroom at the new school because she wasn’t sure where the staff bathroom was. She was then accused of peeping under a bathroom stall. Her mother said it was probably because she “leans very far forward to use the bathroom.”
Then the threats began on a private parents’ Facebook group for the school. The parents called Maddie “it” and “thing”, suggested that her genitalia be mutilated to make her female (“a good sharp knife will do the job real quick”). One said it was “hunting season on them kind” and said there was “no bag limit.”
Maddie’s mother Brandy Rose said she fears for her life: “These are adults making threats– I don’t understand it. She’s an awesome kid. To see any fear in her, I can’t explain how bad that hurts me for them to hurt her.”
KXII reports: “The sheriff said the mother filed a protective order against one parent but no other arrests have been made, however several agencies including the FBI are stepping in to see if any comments constitute a hate crime.”
See the screenshots:
Sorry to say this but if we have to think about whether or not threatening to cut a 12 year old child is a hate crime means there is no hope for us. What has this nation become when it’s citizens feel they have a right to threaten minorities with no fear of repercussion. The only ringing heard now is the death knell of freedom..

@kierancfthehunt ask and you shall receive ;) (this took forever to write cause I was doing it in between customers at work)
- michael tries to cuddle robert ALL THE TIME
- grabs his hand at random times, is always either putting his feet or his head on robert’s lap, and jumping into robert’s bed with him and spooning him when he’s too bored to fall asleep
- (robert always goes to bed early so that he can wake up early and train, only rarely staying out late with michael, no matter how much he begs)
- robert pretends he hates it, but he secretly loves it
- when michael grabs his hand, it turns into a “who can hold the other’s hand the tightest” competition
- which then turns into a wrestling match
- one of them will say “you wanna go?” and in two seconds flat they’ll be tackling each other, doesn’t matter where
- when michael puts his feet in robert’s lap, he’ll roll his eyes and rest his arms on michael’s legs
- when he puts his head in robert’s lap, robert will always play with his hair
- if he’s wearing a beanie, robert takes it off and puts it on his own head
- he usually forgets to give it back for a few days
- (honestly they trade clothes all the time so michael doesn’t even mind)
- he’s always in awe of how goddamn soft michael’s hair is
- michael’s always telling him to grow out his hair so that he can play with it
- “i would, but i like playing with your hair too much” (cue intense blush on michael’s face)
- the first few times michael got in robert’s bed, he didn’t intend to sleep there
- he wants robert to get out of the house and at least try to have a social life
- “you have to do something other than train and sleep” “i hang out with you” “robert, i can’t be your ONLY friend” “says who?”
- one night michael tells him that he’s not gonna leave until robert does, and wraps his arms around him
- robert just says “be my guest” and doesn’t budge
- pretty soon they’re having sleepovers every night because robert has trouble sleeping without michael holding him
- robert gets so cranky when michael doesn’t stay with him, especially the day after
- (michael can’t really sleep either, he’s gotten so used to robert’s steady breathing and the scent of his cologne lulling him to sleep)
- michael just laughs when he sees robert’s pout and promises that he’ll bring him his favorite food when he comes over that night
- the only time they’re not sleeping next to each other is when the other is sick, but they still insist on being together, so they just pile up blankets between each other
- (they usually wake up holding hands when this happens)
