#and she (and the freshman) repeatedly insisted it wasn't a big deall and it was no problem and they were just glad they realized

[avesseloflanguage]

so my dorm puts up giant posters each month listing everyone's birthdays and it's super cool and sweet but unfortunately for the second year in a row they had my deadname on their spreadsheet (despite every other database having the correct name smh my head).

but. my best friend. happened to be walking through the commons at like midnight right when they went up and she noticed it and texted one of the freshmen who made the poster and the two of them apparently enacted some fucking ridiculous MISSION to fix this shit.

as in. they had a Tub Of Whiteout. they broke out the original paints from the poster. they did multiple layers to make sure only my real name was visible. they added hearts around my name and the WHOLE POSTER to make it look less noticeable. they added pieces of paper to the back of it in case you walked under it at the right angle and could see the faintest shadow of the deadname. at MIDNIGHT. they spent an HOUR on this. all so that no one else would see it and apparently especially so i wouldn't have to see it. they also sent multiple emails to different ppl who could possibly be in charge of changing the name on future lists so it hopefully won't be a problem again.

when i tell you i almost cried my fucking eyes out when i heard about this. holy shit guys.
