#she does it?

[jesytr]

“   How do I show people that I’m more than my unethical career choice? ”

the light splatter of rain splitting down from the skies could be heard battling against the curved roof of the cafe's exterior. interior - dressed perfectly to sustain the crippling weather. though harley doubted she'd feel the sun again as it had already been days with cloudy visibly nasty weather. it has been awhile since she sat across from Arthur with her ordered caffeine. sugaring down two extra packets into her cold drink - sprinkling in the sugar. caribou had always been the more local hotspot for a quick stop.

the cool iced latte sat in her pink and blue chipped nails. she pulled the straw towards her mouth before taking a drink and feeling the coffee slide down past her teeth and tongue. she didn't exactly feel like she'd need another chance at getting a nice drink elsewhere. coffee being her main sense of energy those days.

" speaking from experience, " she turned her hands over across her hair. adjusting the blonde strands and pulling out her buns. not quite liking the way the cold vents drained down on her. chilling up and down her spine. pulling back the plastic recycled drink and adjusting her long red sleeves past her wrists. sliding them up to her fingers, " your first major job always ends up being the unethical choice. " fingers brushed through the ends of recently dyed blonde locks. though her roots were missed. revealing brown roots.

" though I ain't no expert on becoming a role model on a whim. " she tilted her head and her eyes lit up as she found the page she was looking for on her small Mac. beaming like a little kid eating sweets, or popcorn, or cotton candy. something sugary and redefined. like a sweet toothed smile. she hovered above the lit screen. her fingers tapping away before she gasped and nodded, " that's the guy! " she spit out a bit too loudly. catching the attention of a certain caribou customer who missed it the first time when they yelled out, ' Carla ! ' her monotone stare somewhat posed into awful scrutiny. though her son caught her sleeve and pointed out the barista holding a iced tea. turning her back and quickly deciding attention elsewhere.

" that's him alright. " she said again. her voice less pitched and mellowed as she spun the laptop around and pushed it towards arthur. Palms faced up. her smile pulled up out of determination and a reminder that it was much more easier to find people on facebook from ten years ago than she once assumed, " that's my ex. the one that broke up with me at some upscale restaurant on my birthday. " she spoke proudly enough that she had found him, but there was a bitter tone when she described her breakup. her eyes rolling as she added, " and he couldn't be bothered ta' pay 'em either. couldn't afford it. left me with the check n' a box of leftovers. "

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

Never not thinking about the trans woman I met in a gay bar in a town I'll never go back to who said "gender roles are like chains, fun to use in bondage scenarios but largely irrelevant in daily life"

when we were studying the bible in literature class (so we have the context necessary for later works that reference the bible), i think we were at the book of jonah, and one of my classmates was studying the text very intently, and then looked up and earnestly said "professor, i don't understand the will of god"

the teacher was just like. well sadly i am a literature teacher and not a priest so i can't help you there. but if it helps, many people throughout history had the same problem.

Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.

Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.

He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.

He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.

Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"

"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.
