“I will not have you without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me without the madness that makes me. If our demons cannot dance, neither can we.”

It's stupid that bread goes bad so fast. Bread should last ten million years on your countertop. You should be able to feed yourself off the same loaf of bread from the day you are born to the day you die. They should pass down bread between generations like a family heirloom. There should be remnants of still-good bread after the heat death of the universe.

making a guide is too kind honestly, if ppl lack the common sense to not be a prick to someone and lack the ability to consider how they’d feel if someone said these things to them, they should be exiled from society. actually i’m surprised natural selection hasn’t gotten them yet
very informative guide tho
Thanks :)
You should never have shame about your academic journey. It's a journey. You're growing and learning. You're going to face challenges alone for one of the first times in your life. Shit's hard. It's ok to struggle.
I haven't had a pretty journey at all. I'm graduating with a bachelor's degree at 25. I've been in college nonstop since I was 18. I've failed a lot of classes and had to go part time. So many things have happened. But I will have the degree. And that degree is worth the exact same as someone who got it in 3 years. The knowledge I have is mine to keep.
How I got here doesn't matter. I'm here. I am going to graduate in a few months. I have won this chapter of my life. And to those who try to shame me for how I got here and how long it took, I pray that you never experience the things I have that have made it take long. May you live a life of comfort and luxury and have hands soft as silk until you die. And hopefully I will get the same grace from the universe eventually.
searching for the most "perfect" and "unproblematic" kind of representation will fuck with your ability to enjoy the media you consume. Characters are going to fuck up and act like humans. They might engage with problematic tropes and behaviours. sometimes it will be toxic and sometimes it will be soft and thats not a bad thing. you will disagree with actions and choices because thats how media works.
you dont have to love every queer character and story BUT acting like only one specific niche of representation is "acceptable" and good? fuck that. And as i said in that other post. STOP ACTING LIKE ONE MOVIE OR SHOW WILL DISMANTLE THE FIGHT FOR QUEER RIGHTS.
in case anybody didn’t know why representation in media is so important
