a lot of people say twink bc they want to say faggot. and they don't even necessarily realize. but they do
pro tip, if you're using twink to mean:
- effeminate in a negative way
you are probably being homophobic and probably just using it as a free pass alternative for gay or faggot. you're not slick it's not okay and you need to think about your words more. you're not immune to doing this if you're queer either I've seen a LOT of people doing this all across the sexuality labels.
I agree wholeheartedly and you're incredibly right
- "this especially happens to me as an afab trans person because people assume because I'm small and have less body hair I'm okay with being called that, including derogatorily"
you're adding important additional experiences, I'm sorry for how people treat you, and you should kill them with fire
My favorite wedding I’ve ever been to I didn’t even know I was gonna attend a wedding that day. I went to church and the pastor was like “so there’s gonna be a wedding today” and then two people got up and got married in the middle of the church service. I was friends with these people at the time. They didn’t tell me or anyone but the pastor they were getting married. Their two year old daughter was bouncing in circles around them the entire time and then the church service just continued on like nothing had happened. We had a Costco sheet cake after the service. 10/10.
I talked to the pastor afterwards and he was like “yeah there’s an optional part of the service for baptisms or weddings but this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone ask to do the wedding option”
I like that. Like not even getting married at city hall. Just telling your whole community “oh btw you’re at our wedding now” and then just doing it. Excellent.
if you ever hear a little voice saying "just sew the full 3 meter hemline by hand, it will be fine, think about how neat it will be" thats the devil talking
I don't think it's big enough (it was the biggest one) but look at him!!

letsoulswanderReblogged ayzenigmainfectiouspissFollowyou have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay. iwritebigbellies-blogI was 22 when I got my first bookstore job, and at the time my entire experience of "old people" was my grandparents, none of whom had been particularly healthy, and none of whom I was close with. To my young eyes, all they did was sit around and be old. That was life after 60.The owner of the bookstore was this grand old dame of 76 who had been in the business for 40 years. She'd had three kids with a husband who was extremely gay, and as soon as those were old enough, they split up. She read on an epic scale, was an avid follower of the opera, sang in several choirs, and scheduled arts programming for a private club. She had gentleman callers (so they styled themselves) at the store continuously the entire fifteen years I worked there--yah, into her NINETIES. She never took up seriously with any of them, because they couldn't keep up. She was impeccably dressed and put together every single day of her life, drank regularly, and said they would pry her estrogen supplements out of her cold, dead hands. She had a gang of elderly single lady friends, though, and they went out every night of the week. They knew everything and everyone, collectively. She got her first smart phone in her mid-80s and became extremely Online. I bet she's on Tumblr now. She is 96.This blew my mind. Life didn't have to be over...ever. We worship youth in our culture. Only the young have futures, and the aged exist to enable the lives of the young. We act as if by the time you hit forty, you've had your chance. You are now expected to step aside and scede life to others.FUCK THAT. I have a lot of life ahead of me. I have places to go and books to read and people to fuck and food to eat and music to dance to and emotions to feel and nazis to punch and stories to tell and hearts to break and ventures to capitalize and empires to conquer. I am going to be doing this for the next fifty years, minimum.Life has so much in it. Do it all, forever. 141121,877120,769

letsoulswanderReblogged borealnyxcrippled-peeperFollowpeople who have never grown food for sustenance or to supplement their diet have such an extreme view of it. I guess that’s what happens when generations of people are living lives completely divorced from cultivation, harvesting, processing, slaughtering. in theory they believe it’s the easiest thing ever - that it should come naturally to every human ever born, simply because you’re a human. then you ask them if they would ever kill a chicken hypothetically, and they act like you shot their pet in front of them.moniquillThe first time I saw a deer up close was in my grandfather’s back yard; I was about four years old. I don’t remember the reason that my mom dropped me off at my grandfather’s house for an afternoon, but I know that it was unplanned - because he was in the middle of processing a deer. It had been field dressed, organs already removed, and was hanging by its ankle tendons from the t-shaped steel pole at one end of the backyard clothesline. I was startled, worried, concerned that the animal was hurt. There was blood! There was flesh!My grandfather responded by calmly explaining what he was doing, step by step. Explaining why he was skinning the deer, and quartering it, taking it from this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VenisonBy the time he was cooking tenderloin medallions and plating them up to me with grape jelly (don’t knock grape jelly on meat until you’ve tried it!) and instant mashed potatoes, I wasn’t startled or concerned anymore. I had a deeper understanding of the way the world worked, of my role as a consumer, a predator. Of the responsibilities that entailed. I couldn’t have explained it then, of course, with my 4-year-old mind and vocabulary - but Philosophy had been set into motion. This is a core memory for me. I did not have nightmares about the butchered deer. More people should be introduced, as little children, to their place in the ecosystem and the responsibilities that entails. what-even-is-thissI’ve never personally butchered anything but my family used to grow some of our own vegetables when I was a kid. Corn, squash, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, etc. we even tried grinding our own flour for a little bit but that didn’t last long because if you’ve ever ground flour by hand you understand. People have such a romantic view of farming and growing food but a lot of my summers as a kid was spent trying to come up with ways to stop birds from eating our vegetables, planting other plants and releasing insects to keep other insects away, and pulling weeds. Food doesn’t just sit there all pretty growing in the sun. Everything wants to steal it away from you. Agriculture even on a small scale is a never ending battle against insects, other plants stealing water and sunlight, birds, small mammals. You are not the only one who wants the fruits of your labor. It’s important to remember that. Every tomato you eat is one that survived the never ending assault of insects and birds. 432,9895,158

Obviously they're dumb and lazy, like all kids these days. whineandcheese24kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i'm 19 he's 18 and the woman at the door didn't want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i'm still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy's hand while they play video games. kids aren't just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we're addicted to our phones because there's nothing else to fucking doshamebatsI'm sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don't have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society. 222,08132,955
