“Christianity Didn’t Become A World Religion Because Of The Quality Of Its Teachings, But By The

Instead of asking your SO where they wanna eat, try asking them, “Guess where I was going to take you to eat?” Their first response is usually where they wanna go. Works for gifts too.

I agree that not everyone wants to be a teacher and they have the right to not want to, but I would recommend at least giving something the person/people can start with. Give them book recommendations, YouTubers, bloggers, organizations, websites, etc.. Giving them a starting point helps so much!

To add, I have no problems with being asked about being asexual, bi/panromantic, nonbinary, trans guy as long as it's in good faith. When I came out to some co-workers they had so many questions and I let them ask them all. Of course I let them know that my experiences and statements won't match for everyone, but it's a great way for them to get some idea of being queer and now they even know what asexual is, which is less common for people to know than 'lesbian'.

thinking about that time I was at some kind of diversity and inclusion thing that involved discussion in small groups and one straight girl said she really wanted to be a good ally but sometimes there were some things she just didn’t know and was too afraid to ask for fear of accidentally being offensive. and as the only queer person in this 4-5 person group I said well go ahead and ask me, I don’t care if you accidentally use the wrong term right now or whatever, it’s better to talk about it and learn something, I love talking about queerness and I’ll answer the best I can. and she just looked so nervous and in the end wound up refusing to ask for fear of causing offense. and it wasn’t just the group setting, I’ve known straight people to act similarly even when it’s just one on one

and just. you guys. this is what purity culture and the “if you don’t know something you were never a real ally in fact you’re a bigot in fact you’re worse than bigots because you pretended not to be one” attitude does. how can our allies be allies if they’re scared to talk to us? to ask questions, to make mistakes, to learn? can we please bring back the idea of “in good faith”? there’s way more to say here about identity politics and virtue signaling and acting like language is more important than action but I’m too tired for that right now

please feel free to add to the discussion (regardless of if you’re queer or not), I would love to hear about people’s experiences with this and if others feel differently about it

PLEASE never let Five Hargreeves find out about irish coffee that man would go BALLISTIC if he does

Treat Yo’ Self : An Umbrella Academy family story

Warnings: None

When Allison comes into the kitchen for her morning coffee, she notices a group of little paper bags lined up on the table. Each of them has a number written with black magic marker, reminding her of the way Grace used to pack their lunches. 

These are about a third the size of a lunch bag and decorated with little ghosts and things. Allison suddenly remembers the date, October 31st.

Halloween treat bags. How adorable! 

Halloween wasn’t the same without Claire, of course, but maybe a little Halloween treat might help to dull the pain.

She opens bag number three. It’s gummy bears. Her favorite. She crams a small handful into her mouth, then sits down to check the news and relax with some toast and coffee.

Diego comes in and gestures towards the bags. “These from mom?” 

“I guess so.”

Diego looks into his bag and smiles.

Idk if anyone will see this from this blog because of how long its been but I made a new account! So much has changed even since this post. 😩

So as you guys may have noticed, I haven’t been active on this blog in a long time. A lot has happened since the last post I made and there’s a part of me that wants to come back, but another part of me that doesn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up because I know I won’t be able to keep up with posting like I did before.

I will not be using this blog anymore, but I will leave it up so anyone at any point can see any of the posts I made on this blog. If there is anyone who wants to take my plave on this blog then let me know so I’d love to let someone else who has more time take my place.

Now as the admin, many of my personal self has changed as well. If you read any if the tags on my posts, then I want to let you know that most of that is the case anymore. I’m very happy now and even have a partner who has helped me become the better person that I am today. I still cosplay, though I’ve grown in my skills since my first time cosplaying and have ventured into other characters not related to Noragami. Life is very different for me now compared to previous posts.

Thank you all for being a part of this journey and enjoying all the content I shared with you guys. Thank you for all the love and requests because without ya’ll’s support, this blog probably would have died sooner or been deleted. You guys made my life a little better, and that’s all I could ever ask for. 💕
