if you're looking for a sign to get the hysterectomy, get it. if you are wondering if you will feel freer, less burdened, more optimistic, lighter without your uterus, you will. if you simply want to never get periods again, get the hysterectomy. if you want to have sex with a different person every day forever and never worry about getting pregnant, get the hysterectomy. if you don't know whether or not you want to stay on hormones, get the hysterectomy anyway. if you're afraid you're too young, and that people will judge you, get it anyway. you don't have to live in a hostile body. you are the one who gets to decide what it will and will not do.

Getting some love for the tj klune addition on the last post so I want to add:

Read klune! All of his characters are queer. His books have mostly gay/bi/pan men but not exclusively. TJ Klune himself is gay. The tales of verania series is very silly and light-hearted and great when you just want a fun fantasy saga with lots of homos. He wrote it to heal after his partner died. He wanted to do something fun and joyful instead of dwelling on sad emotions and loss.

On a different side of the same coin is under the whispering door. It's a modern fantasy dealing with life after death. Literally. The mc is a ghost and the side character is a psychopomp. It's a beautiful look at moving on and change. I reread it after my best friend died and I ugly sobbed at the end. In a good way.

There's also the house on the cerulean sea which is one of my favorite books ever. Modern look at a world with known fantasy creatures. Main character observes orphanages with magical children. His latest assignment is a magical difficult orphanage (complete with a young antichrist). It's truly heartwarming and if you ever have felt othered this book will speak to you. There's a follow up coming out later this summer and I'm very excited.

He also has a ya gay werewolf series where every book is from a different character's perspective but they're all part of the same pack. Kind of. One's a human warlock. But he's in the pack.

The bones beneath my skin is a fun scifi mystery and and being on the run from the government with a weird special little girl.

Another series (The Extraordinaries) about teen superheroes. I've not read this but I'm sure it's enjoyable.

He also has a series about gay dad's and their kid. Not fantasy. Also haven't read these.

And more.

All of the books I read are full of gay and no homophobia. None of these books will change your life but they'll entertain you to no end. They might even have you kicking your legs behind you while giggling.

Hey sorry your boyfriend got kidnapped by his mob boss dad. Yeah when he said thank you back there he meant thanks for everything you’ve done for him, that was his goodbye because he’s going to die. No yeah he was in love with you, that’s what all the looks meant. Anyway. He’ll think of you kissing him when he’s being tortured by his father’s people as an escape. No I totally get why you might want to burn the world until you find him. Yeah yeah maybe start with choking your teammate for answers. Sorry again.

ok i need people who are happy about the tiktok ban to understand your opinion should actually have nothing to do with the fact that it’s tiktok. like you can hate tiktok. but supporting the ban is supporting censorship, full stop.

like, i fucking hate twitter. it’s a hellhole. would i celebrate if it went bankrupt and shutdown? probably! would i celebrate if the GOVERNMENT BANNED IT? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. because the government SHOULD NOT be making decisions about how and what people are allowed to talk about on the internet. ever.

“i don’t like the precedent but im happy if it’s just tiktok” stfu and think for a second if they only ban tiktok and nothing else ever that’s still censorship

Our shortened attention spans due to the constant dopamine chasing and needed escapism benefits the government/people in power because if the media stops covering something people tend to forget about it. This is beneficial because if people forget about something, or the general populace does, the government can feel free to 1) Never bring it up again and 2) Distort the facts of the event/what actually happened.

Let me elaborate on 2, because that’s most likely what we’re going to see happen in the case of Luigi Mangione. As the attention shifts, the government will release information that either directly or indirectly opposes the true events, and soon enough that’ll just be “what happened.”

To combat this, we as a society have to begin REMEMBERING. The government consistently gaslights and will continue to gaslight us, and we must not let them.

This is true not only in the case of Luigi Mangione but for other instances as well, like January 6th and the election.

Do not forget! That is how we lose power and they continue to gain.

Underrated moments in AFTG upon reread:

- Allison calling Kevin’s tattoo a tramp stamp

- Seth laughing his ass off upon hearing Riko was on the Kathy Ferdinand show

- Nicky suggesting Allison and Kevin hook up and they both react with intense disgust

- Aaron shrugging to Neil coming back absolutely battered from Evermore

- Kevin wanting to ask what Neil and Andrew talked about at Eden’s twilight after Andrew confessed to Neil, then seeing Neil’s face and being like “you know what? Not my business.”

- Dan, Allison and Renee basically fake dating platonically their first year to defy the sexist guys on their team

- Neil finding math interesting

- Kevin giving Neil the most scathing elevator look that Neil feels shame about his wardrobe for the first and only time

- Dan punching a Raven in the dick after they made a sexual comment about her past

- Matt’s mother being so grateful to Andrew for getting Matt clean that she pays Aaron’s bail

- Nicky calling Kevin a brat

- Wymack making Dan the first female captain despite the rampant misogyny in Exy

- Andrew stroking Neil’s back after Neil stood up for Kevin at Kathy’s Interview

- Wymack and Matt being the original Andreil shippers

- Neil giving Kevin his binder before going to Evermore like HELLO???? That was some INSANE trust
