I feel like I’ve spent my whole life waiting for this moment and now this moment is terrible. This moment doesn’t even have any fireworks. This moment falls asleep with its keys in its hand.

I will tell him then that he was born a special kind of creature, one that God never meant for everyone to understand, but that I understand. I will tell him that I always love that little flower of him, the perfect unknowing differentness that blossomed and danced in a frozen field in spite of everything. Because drag queens always dance in spite of everything. It’s part of the job description.

Remember that if you body looks like these bodies you are a god/dess. Your breasts/chest, your hips, your big beautiful belly, your hair - that’s what divinity looks like. Hold onto that divine femme power today and revel in it. You not only are capable of miracles, you ARE a miracle. #fertilitygoddess #femmepower #ancientstatue #birth #vulva #isthisnsfw? #yourbodyisamiracle #vagina

It is ironic that feminism has not more strongly aligned itself with midwifery, especially since reproductive self-determination is central to the feminist vision. Truly,what could be more feminist than the practice of midwifery?

Go kiwis!

so a racist got utterly demolished in less than 30 seconds on the New Zealand morning news on Monday and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen

who knew a white guy could be capable of such an iconic response, he knows what’s up and is having none of that shit, every other white guy take notes tbh

Chester Bennington’s death made me think that suicides by people in their 40s, 50s, and up, who have been struggling with depression their whole lives, are a special kind of sad. They fought through agony for decades and just couldn’t make it.

I think a lot about killing myself, not like a point on a map but rather like a glowing exit sign at a show that’s never been quite bad enough to make me want to leave. See, when I’m up I don’t kill myself because holy shit, there’s so much left to do! When I’m down I don’t kill myself because then the sadness would be over and the sadness is my old paint under the new, the sadness is the house fire or the broken shoulder: I’d still be me without it, but I’d be so boring.

I don't like Most people anyway How lonely is existing meant to be
