On September 5, 1986, a 22-year-old flight attendant held off a group of armed hijackers. Her name was Neerja Bhanot, and when the attackers boarded Pan Am Flight 73, she shouted a secret code to the pilots to allow them to escape. From there, she spent 17 hours on a full plane with the hijackers, hiding the passports of foreign passengers, to keep them from being targeted. When the power began to fail, the hijackers began to open fire and set off explosives. She gave her life protecting children running to the emergency exit.
She died 2 days short of her birthday, which is today.
I cover her story in the RP book. Last year, a movie about her life, Neerja, came out. I believe it’s now on US Netflix.
A person who’s had a positive impact on my life is my mama, Denise. I know it may seem like I’m saying it because she gave birth to me, but I’m not.
She’s been with me all my life (obviously), but she has been with me through everything I’ve been through; including self-harm, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, panic attacks, mild agoraphobia and many other things.
She got me out of an abusive household, and has been supporting me in all my pursuits; no matter how stupid they are.
My mama is a single parent, and we don’t have a lot of money (due to me not being medically fit to work, and my father not paying anything towards me) but she doesn’t push me into doing things I’m not ready to do.
She puts my heath and happiness above her own, and she excepts me for who I am.
This is why she has a positive impact on my life.
Today’s not the day - but today is relative to where you are, so what the hell. Today may not even be today, but today could be today. *inserts pointless caption*

He showed up for the rehearsals and the fight training, he’s just a sponge. I’m telling you the guy is amazing.

I have a friend who’s trans. I’ve even got a friend who’s gay, one who’s a lesbian, a couple who are bi, and I’m asexual (used to be bi).
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out
• reading fics
• staying up really late to read fics
• waking up really early to read fics
• leaving fics unfinished for months
• finishing fics in no time
• shipping
• more shipping
• “are you done with this fic?” “Physically, yes. Emotionally, no.”
Please help out if you can.
