Exactly this ☝️ you are never going to understand everything about everyone. Sometimes people don't even understand themselves! But being open to learning and respecting different experiences (including your own) is how you begin to understand!

“I don’t understand asexual people” “I don’t understand non binary people” you don’t have to. you can think a sexuality or gender makes no sense, and still support people who identify that way. you can still be there for them and be kind to them. I didn’t understand asexuality, so I talked to asexual people and read stories written from their point of view and actively tried to understand it. after learning, I think I might even be on the ace spectrum. the point is, you can respect people without understanding them.

I think about this post so much! When I finally tell my family that I'm queer I would love to throw a party. Make a rainbow layer cake and get each person to wear a different rainbow color!

I know gender reveal parties seem like cishet nonsense but it would be cool af if coming out parties became a thing. Like, a world where a kid (or adult, for that matter) genuinely has the ability to announce their sexuality to the world, no matter what it is. I’d imagine they generally take place in middle or high school, sort of when kids start actually dating, and would be thrown by a few older relatives, but it could also be totally acceptable to wait until you’re older and throw one yourself or have friends throw it. Instead of the stereotypical nervous “mom…dad…I’m gay” it’s more LIKE a gender reveal party, because you cheer no matter the result because “what’s really important is that they’re healthy and happy.” And kids can say with equal confidence and excitement “I’m straight,” “I’m gay,” “I’m bisexual,” “I’m asexual,” “I’m…”

Amazing!!!

You were meant for something so much greater than yourself. There’s no such thing as destiny, just your own damn bad luck. Now you have a choice to make. We all did. Become What You Fear Most.

all 14 avatar portraits from my zine {Becoming Fear}.

So update your instagram story. Capture yourself. Freeze your existence in fifteen seconds of time. Look at that vine. Look at that vine. Look at those six and a half seconds preserved for all eternity, like a caveman in the ice.

Look! Behold! A moving time capsule so real you can almost feel it breathing. Hear a dead woman speak and watch you address yourself directly. See the living ghost of your past self and hold him tight, because if you play your cards right he’s not going anywhere.

Freeze! Freeze this moment in time! Record it. In a snapshot, a video, a voice. See a baby meeting a puppy. See a shooting. See history in the making and see someone loving their daughter. Capture your present to hold onto your past. Send it in waves of light through the air and send your moment away to anyone that would take it.

Capture a tiny fraction of an atom of the love in that moment and keep it for posterity. Hold close the image of a person you’ll never meet and know that this is reality, even if it’s the past.

We cannot travel to the past but we can preserve small pieces of the present that become pieces of the past and shout into the future. We are doing it every day. Valuing the human existence so much that we’ve decided to share every moment of it on a global scale.

We are archeologists of the present, time travelers of the past, the past of the future. We created time and made it slow and created to it a love letter in the form of a photo and pinned it on a website like the internet was the refrigerator of the world.

Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.

Who cares what other people think, live your life for you!

Here is the secret to fandom:

Give zero fucks about what anyone else is doing.

Seriously.  I mean it.  Because inevitably you will love something that no one else loves.  Or you will love something that everyone loves and people will shit all over it because it’s “so trite and unimaginative and done.” Or you will love something that no one else has ever heard of.  Or you will love something dark and edgy and or obscure and people will roll their eyes and say, “What, do you want people to think you’re dark and edgy and obscure?”

Alternatively, you will not love the thing that everyone else loves, and you will wonder what precisely is wrong with you that the sight of that thing is aggravating the shit out of you now when the whole world sings its praises as one.

People will irritate you.  They’ll irritate you with headcanons that make no sense and misinterpretations of canon.  They will make the same jokes 500 times.  They will overwhelm your corner of fandom with something you either are tired of hearing about or don’t care about.  They will post art that isn’t theirs.  You will meet people who think you are the greatest person ever and bombard you with messages  only to wander off when they find someone new or shinier; you will meet people whom you admire and who do not really seem to notice you exist. 

So give zero fucks about it.  Seriously.  Like what you like, blacklist what you need to blacklist, and ignore everything else.  Be friends, play nice, enjoy it.  And in the meantime, just do you.  Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.
