If you identify as any form of lgbtqia+ and have been made to feel like you don't belong in this community by other queer people, just know that I am gripping you by the shoulders and I am telling you that you belong, I am telling you that you're queer and you're incredible, I am giving you every kind of affection you enjoy to tell you that YOU BELONG.

If you ever doubt yourself, you come back here and I will remind you of how amazing you are all over again, because you are one of us and you deserve to feel accepted within your own people.

being friends with byan is so weird bc they say they want you to have the balls to be bluntly honest with them, but then the very moment you're honest about something they don't like, they're peacing out, all "lmao ok friendship ended byeeeee"

...do we really need to go over how telling people to kill themselves is a fucking horrid thing to do again? i don't fucking care who you're telling to do it, just use one of the ten billion other goddamn ways to tell someone to fuck off!

There's a stream up on Twitch right now that's playing episodes of Naruto Shippuden, and earlier it was showing the mini arc of how Hashirama and Madara met, and how Izuna's death drove Madara to forsake his dream of peace twice over.

There's the moment where Tobirama runs Izuna through with the Flying Raijin Slice, and Madara getting ready to book it with Izuna in tow to try to heal the wound, only for Hashirama to stop and tell him the rest of the Uchiha that didn't defect over to the Senju should stop fighting or the war is just going to continue.

And I'm over here like...His little brother is bleeding out, dude. Wouldn't it be better to. You know. Lay him down on the ground and heal him right there and then. And end up convincing Madara that there can be peace. And then go on with the speech? Like, don't get me wrong, it's cute, and I like that Hashirama fought for his idealism and his dream, but I think if he had just saved the talking for, like, five minutes later, Izuna would still be alive.

i think all the dr1 characters get very watered down by the fandom but in reality. they are all so weird

speaking of. I need some input on this.

a week or two ago I posted about the drama with some (now) coursemates. four or so months ago one of them showed me a picture of a crocheted charm she saw on a chinese app and said she wanted it but the girl who made it doesn't sell them. so I made one for her birthday. her birthday is at the end of december. it is not her birthday for another two weeks

now I have this bluebell charm that I absolutely do not fucking want to keep with me due to obvious fucking reasons but also don't think I can give it to her considering she's the only one that's outright hostile to me rn. for no reason btw

do I still give it to her and let that be the end of it, but also risk her just throwing it away, or do I just give it to someone else

talking to people recently out of prison: a do-and-don't guide

Don't ask, "How was prison?" (Answer: traumatic!)

Do ask, "What are you most looking forward to doing again now that you're out?"

Don't ask, "How long were you in for?" (Answer: too long!)

Do ask, "Is there any technology or pop culture I can help catch you up on?"

Don't ask, "How are you going to avoid getting back into bad behaviors?" (Leave the paternalistic bullshit to their PO.)

Do ask, "How's your support network? Do you have people helping you adjust?"

Don't ask, "Do you have a job yet?" (Their PO is asking them ALL the time, don't worry.)

Do ask, "Are there any opportunities I should keep an ear out for and let you know about?"

Don't ask, "Do you have an ankle monitor?" (And definitely don't ask to see it - no one likes to be gawked at.)

Do ask, "Do you have parole restrictions we need to accommodate when making plans?"

Don't say, "Hey, you shouldn't be doing that - it's against your parole!" (A lot of parole restrictions are bullshit, and they are an adult who deserves agency, even the agency to take risks.)

Do ask, "Are there any bullshit parole restrictions you need help working around?"

Don't ask, "Are you an addict?" (Not everyone in prison is, and they'll tell you if they want you to know.)

Do say, "If there's stuff you might get in trouble for, like empty alcohol containers, I can throw them away at my place."

Don't say, "It's probably best if you put your whole prison life behind you and start fresh." (Just because it was traumatic doesn't mean important experiences and relationships didn't happen there.)

Do say, "If you have letters from friends on the inside that you don't want your PO to find, you can keep them at my place."

Don't say, "You paid your debt to society." (Regardless of what they may have done, harm cannot be repaid through senseless suffering.)

Do say, "You are more than the worst thing you've ever done."

Do not ever ask "What were you arrested for?"/"What did you do?"/"Were you guilty?"

People are more than the worst thing they've ever done.
