Weird ass moment to find out a) there was a stabbing from my small alma mater, and b) I know one of the victims stabbed.
Bunch of people sang along with the chorus, so at least I didn't ruin it!
When I turned 30 last week, I sang his 30 song at Karaoke because what else would I sing?
The fact that my knowledge of the backrooms is based entirely off of myhouse.wad explains a lot about me
Say what you will, but seeing some Pride merch at a neighbor's place when I moved to a new neighborhood did make me feel a little better. So yeah, it does help sometimes
Yeah, it was fine. I like crunchwraps, so I wasn't upset, but it didn't feel special
Or just believing that you're in the right because /they're/ being unreasonable, but you can be a reasonable queer or whatever.
To be clear, I got pulled back by friends and family who were willing to confront me in different ways. From kind and empathetic, to verbally snacking me upside the head, to just challenging factually on what I was saying. I think it's a mix of all approaches that pulled me back.
This is why I left Tumblr and flirted with the alt-right briefly. I was bitter and frustrated that everything was always the worst thing ever. We never got to have anything good and in looking for acknowledgement that any small victory happened, YouTube fed me down the alt-right rabbit hole
My husband is reading a really interesting book about activist burn out, and basically every chapter that looks at specific historical activists shows that being unable to acknowledge even minor victories leads to burn out and depression.
In my head all day starting today
Utunu is a great writer and I still haven't forgiven him for making me cry in Rafts.
Very excited for this book to come out!
My new science fiction novel is now available for pre-order! Fennecs! Hyenas! Planets! Psionics! Feels! Curry!
All this and more can be yours soon (releasing July 5)!

The real question is why do sharks always look like they were asked a question in class they weren't prepared for?
Stuffed animals are such a fucking nothing kink. Like, okay? That's so nothing of a kink
My dad scoffs every time Fury Road is brought up. Even popular stuff gets weird judgement that gets under my skin.
It has me feeling so frustrated being in nerdy or cosplay spaces. I can't wear any X-Men cosplay without being given weird comments, or asked to explain why a movie sucked.
I'm just fucking exhausted that this shit gets to me and pervades my mind so much.
I think my exhaustion from it is somewhat borne out of being in the Star Wars fandom through the prequels and sequels and this constant bickering and fighting. Like, people can't just not like something, they have to drag it and everyone else through the mud.
Like there's a transitive property in the eyes of others that only wrong people like something "bad."
I don't know why it affects me so much. Maybe it's growing up terminally online, maybe it's having a brother that made fun of people who liked certain things. I can't seem to let go of this.
I've spoken with my therapist about this but I'm having this weird, unnerving self-consciousness about movies I like. Specifically those made in the last 15 years. Feels like film discourse being so cut and dry, good or bad, pushed to extremes that liking something "bad" makes me bad for it.
I remember the book so well (not to be hipster but I did read it first) and was so happy and sad when I heard it got adapted to a musical. Sad because Ned Vizzini's suicide really tore me up as a fan of his writing
Is there a worthwhile adblocker on mobile? That's where it's the most obnoxious to me
As close to #FursuitFriday as I'm getting right now.
I got to debut my swashbuckler Nightcrawler today to meet Adrian Hough, the voice of Kurt in X-Men 97. This was such a wonderful experience because Kurt has been near and dear to me since I was a kid, watching the original run of X-Men TAS.
Reddit shit posts are ruining AI. I've never been so proud of shit posters
