running into a trans girl while you're out and about makes the entire miserable errand worth it, whatever it was. like glancing upward at just the right time to see a shooting star. I spot a trans flag and it sincerely ceases to matter that the bus is crowded and it rained unexpectedly and my shoes are soaked through and my headphones are dead. I am happy to be on that specific bus on that specific day, because you're there too.

please don't make your body into something designed by committee to be as inoffensive to as many consumers as possible

please. i beg. get some neon leopard print. or whatever. fuck it up on purpose. or just let it do its thing. may your body be a temple, not a Chipotle.

it is so important that you are a little bit ugly. please get comfortable with having unplucked eyebrows and nonexistent jawlines and wrinkles. let your blue hair grow out into an uneven pale green and your clothes be old and mend them and modify them until they’re unique to you. wear lipstick which doesnt compliment your skintone and mismatched outfits which went out of fashion 5 years ago. be a little bit too loud and a little bit too passionate and as weird as you can be because oh my god there is nothing more disturbing to me than perfection. beauty is manufactured and sold to us and you need to realise that you are a fucking animal to live a joyful life I am so serious. you cant obsess over aesthetics forever please just live messily and make your body your home however you please.

if you dont do it for you, do it for all the teenagers who will see u in the street and know that they are not obligated to be attractive

[tricky-pockets]

fucking adhd. I have to run a con on my own brain to get anything done.

[tricky-pockets]

I'm curious:

rb for sample size, you know the drill.

also, please tell me your local stock comments for small talk about the weather.

queer community infighting happens, yes, and it sucks. probably happens a little more online than otherwise.

but there's also acts of solidarity, happening all the time. we're helping each other find housing, crashing on each other's couches, driving the U-haul and lugging boxes, picking up meds when someone's sick. stealing T-shot syringes from work for transmasc friends when the pharmacy fucks up for the 100th time. cooking food for the lesbian couple who just had a baby. tailoring clothes for a transfem partner. finding trans-affirming therapists for sad friends. bringing people into the queer spaces we've found when they're scared to go alone. it's good.

shoutout to nonbinary people for coming up with so many cool ways to do it ✨

just from my own social circle, we got:

- goth who's 100% allergic to gender; any article of clothing with gendered associations, when put on their body, is instantly recontextualised and nobody knows what to make of them. fae magic might be involved.

- transmasc who often looks like Some Guy but ONLY if you don't know them, and might actually be the world's fruitiest sapphic thembo

- another goth who's got like... universal gender compatibility and does them all simultaneously as loud as possible with an artist's eye for juxtaposition

- genderfluid diva with so much charisma; sometimes masc, sometimes femme, and sometimes something else but Always giving the impression that they're starring in something

Extremely cool, is what I'm getting at. nobody's doing it like nonbinary people, not even other nonbinary people.

We all know the "if there was a magic button" exercise for questioning your gender, but I kinda wonder if it'd be helpful to turn the question inside out.

like "There's a magic button that gives you $50 but also permanently bars you from any kind of transition. If you push it, you will never be referred to with new pronouns or a new name, you can never take hormones or have surgery, and you can't do voice training. You will always and irrevocably be seen as the gender you were assigned."

if any of those conditions gave you a little twinge of sadness to think about, maybe keep asking questions. i love you 💖

[tricky-pockets]

yeah yeah the mortifying ordeal of being known, I know. look, sometimes it's not being known that's the problem, it's that generally you do have to be perceived first. which, of course, is a wet ham sandwich of an experience with little to recommend it.

it'd be much more pleasant to just arise in someone's mind like a. a whatsit. an epiphany. no faffing about with perception, skip directly to knowledge.

"transmascs vs transfems" online infighting is so fucking weird. my interactions with transfems irl are like... I went to your art showing and bought a print and we talked about art and tattoos. We had board game night with your dad. You were in a play with my boyfriend and then invited us to your birthday party. You helped me through a panic attack at Pride. You brought me to the trans/GNC support group thing when I was an egg. We watched each other's backs at protests. You came out a decade after college and I messaged you to say congrats, same hat, I'm trans too, and we caught up and it was nice. You spoke at a rally and I cried. We commiserated about not finding clothes that fit and I offered to tailor some things for you. We went to karaoke night and you sang Sinatra and killed it.

real normal/positive shit. I'm not trying to dismiss anyone's experiences, online or irl. just trying to maintain some perspective, I guess, because it's real easy to look at tumblr and get the impression that we're beefing all the time.

hey, do you guys know about ghostpipes? found out about these things recently and I gotta say, that shit is spooky as hell

that's a plant! I thought it was some kinda weird mushroom at first because it was growing in a ring around a tree, but nope. Plant. No chlorophyll. Plant.

these motherfuckers, okay. So, the tree and the fungus are doing fine; they're in a comfy mycorrhizal association. Tree root system all tangled up with the mycelium. Tree gets extra water and minerals, mushroom gets food that the tree made. Pretty good arrangement.

but the ghost pipes are parasitic. they hook their hairy little roots up to where the fungus is connected to the tree and steal the food. They can grow in the dark because they're not doing their own photosynthesis.

the ones I saw had a faint blueish tint that I thought was rather pretty, but apparently they're sometimes called 'corpse plant'. Very creepy. I love them.

"You do?" Sam looks slightly shocked, as if part of him knew that but wasn't a hundred percent sure. He smiles and leans forward a bit, kissing her on the lips before leaning back slightly. "So, do I. I mean on you."

*stares at my prized copy of the Iliad (in the bed) and assortment of edged weapons (beside the bed; includes a machete)* man, queer people just have not changed at all huh.

if you ever feel like you’re too obsessed with something, just remember that, according to plutarch, alexander the great slept with his prized copy of the iliad under his pillow alongside a dagger, presumably so that he could murder anyone who tried to take his copy of the iliad away from him

A small act of goodness in an overwhelmingly grim circumstance is easy to dismiss, saying "well, what difference would it make?" This is backwards. Under those circumstances, the smallest kindness is a miracle. It's not a drop in the ocean. It's a candle in the darkness, and its light shines out all the brighter because it was kindled where it was most desperately needed.

A Love as Bright as the Stars

by ncdover1285

Summary: “You know, I think about that time at the lake a lot. It was weird because you never really acted your age. That was probably down to how we grew up too. It had always been us, you and me, and I couldn’t help but notice that things started changing after that day.” Dean had his door open and his leg resting on the ground. He turned so he was able to look out at the little fire pit he had made earlier.

“I think I’ve been in love with you since then. I just didn’t want to admit it. You were only sixteen and that still seems all kinds of wrong to me, but it wasn’t like that ya know. It wasn’t a sex thing back then, it was just about us being us. It was about not having to hide myself from you, even when I had to with everyone else.” Sam leaned towards his brother, who was now turned completely sideways, looking out the door.
