Flippin Hell This Is Epic

it's not just about love

throughout the month of june, but especially today, on international pride day, "love is love" is being slapped everywhere. and while thats an important part of pride and we do fight for equality, seeing the queer movement being boiled down to that always hurts me. as a trans person (and also as someone on the aromantic spectrum), every single "love brings us all together!" and "everyone has the right to love!" feels more and more like a slap in the face.

every day, there's more anti trans legislation. more transgender, especially trans women and transfeminine people of color, are murdered. more trans men commit suicide. this cant be solved with love by itself.

every day, the societal gender norms are shoved down the throats of nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming people. these people constantly suffer with not only microaggressions that discredit and invalidate their identities, their non-traditional pronouns, their expressions, but also with actual violent acts just because they dare to exist. and i won't even go into talking about the violence that intersex children are subjected to and how these bodies are made invisible. what does all this have to do with the "right to love"?

if this kind of question has never crossed your mind, i hope you take this post as an invitation to re-evaluate your role as an ally to queer people whose identity is NOT just about their relationships and who they are attracted to, romantically or sexually. what do you do to help the fight this huge part of the community?

not everything can be solved with a rainbow flag emoji.

LETS KRIFFING GOOOOOOOOO

Fuck hayfever

my nose is SO SORE and ITCHY from all the stupid dust and pollen

I should be able to both read for 8hrs a night and sleep for 8hrs a night. That I cannot is very rude and, frankly, poor design.

DINOSAUR PASTA HECK YEAH 😁😁😁😁😁

I absolutely adore the rock climbing community basically everyone is so supportive and just plain nice. Rock climbing encourages comradery and community building at least that's what I've found 😁

Oh to be a muppet😔

I wish I was a muppet so I could flail uncontrollably with no consequences. And for the scrunch

Oh yeah and while I remember the weird ass shit that just went down a while ago.

Me and same parental figure who had taken me to the comic book store were picking up other parental figure from the airport since they were in a different province for a wedding. Now I'm in the back of our two door 4 seater car studying for the History test tomorrow when we get pulled over IN THE PICK UP ZONE OF THE AIRPORT BY TRAFFIC COPS CAMPING THIS ONE SPECIFIC PEDESTRIAN WALKING ZONE WHERE YOU HAVE TO STOP (which we did but we didn't like fully stop as THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS) and were given a Fucking FINE. NOW this wouldn't be bad if they doing this because of ~*their jobs*~ and ~*upholding the law*~ but NOoooo in this country they👏do 👏it👏for👏the👏money👏 and love showing their incompetency. On the bright side at least they are doing their jobs to a degree by watching for speeding on the highways (in their shiny bmws) but anyway. Oh yeah and on the way home some warehouse was ON FIRE?!?! Like HIGH HEAT BILLOWING CLOUDS FIRE! So yeah that was..... hm

NO THOUGHTS ONLY BOOPS

I am currently trapped in a warm cosy bed by not one BUT TWO cats who are intermittently purring and are decidedly not fighting, while the weather outside is a glorious overcast.

I am having a great day ☺️
