Yes to all of the above!
Yes! There is nothing wrong with phases, or taking time to find the terms that fit you, or changing your orientation. My understanding of myself has changed over time.
instead of assuring everyone that it “isn’t a phase”, why don’t we just assure everyone that if it is a phase it’s fine? it’s healthy to figure yourself out? because if we tell everyone it’s not a phase and it ends up being a phase, those people are going to feel guilty, like they stole resources or wasted time. It’s not bad to ‘go through a phase’. It’s a healthy way of finding out who you are. And if it isn’t a phase, that’s fine too. But if it is, there’s no reason to feel bad.
I read picture books, watch silly cartoons, collect stuffed animals, and more! Why should kids have all the fun?
Hi, if you are a teen or an adult who watches/uses things that were “made for kids” or where kids were the target market,
(ex: Disney movies, stuffed animals, Steven Universe)
Please like or reblog this, I’m trying to prove a point.
I was well over 20 when I *started* reading fan fiction. One of my best friends finally convinced me to try it, and I’ve been addicted ever since. I’ve been active in science-fiction/fantasy/gaming/furry and various other fandoms for decades. I have seen everyone from infants to senior citizens having fun at conventions. The idea that fandom could have a use-by date or age range is laughable.
I’m curious!
I tried this twice, and I got “Addams family astronaut” and “nonsexual gay.” It seems to be working just fine to me!
I tried to make a sexual identity generator but it’s glitchy and I’m not sure how to fix it.
I think most of the people following me know me well enough to know that I’d be fine with questions, but I’ll reblog just in case.
I feel like a lot of people don’t want to ask questions they have about gender/sexuality to LGBT people because they don’t want to offend them because we talk about cishet people asking stupid or intrusive questions a lot
But actually when you’re questioning it’s really helpful to be able to ask some ‘stupid’ questions although you’re too afraid to
So can y'all LGBTQIA+ people reblog this if you’re totally fine with people asking questions about your gender/sexuality, as long as they do so respectfully
@katy-l-wood put this in the tags, "#deciding what to eat for dinner #EVERY NIGHT #what should I cook? #babe what do you want for dinner? #I love food #but when I have to ask that question #I suddenly forget every food I like #and it never ends #personal"
My partner and I have this problem! It doesn't help that neither of us are good enough cooks to decide something on the spur of the moment that we'll both enjoy, so we have to plan a week's worth of dinners before we get groceries.
One thing that helps us is having a spreadsheet of dinner options. It includes where the recipe is, what type of protein it has, and what cooking method it uses. (We should probably add how long it takes, but we haven't gotten around to that.) This lets us look for slow cooker recipes or a way to use up the package of ground beef in the freezer.
This isn't perfect -- we still spend a lot of time staring at the spreadsheet, trying to find something that we're in the mood for and haven't done two of the last three weeks. However, it helps a lot with the "I suddenly forgot every food I like" problem!
If you don’t think this makes a difference, look at what the Minnesota legislature accomplished so far this year:
Set up free breakfast and lunch for all K-12 students
Implemented automatic voter registration and a number of other reforms to increase voter access
Made abortion access and reproductive care a fundamental right
Provided up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave
Banned conversion therapy and made Minnesota a safe state for trans people
Indexed school funding to inflation
And much, much more
Our cities, our states, our country -- they can do this, too! The Minnesota legislature isn’t filled with perfect people, but it has enough people who are willing to work together to get things accomplished.
Vote for people who will make progress. If you don’t have that option, vote for people who won’t push us farther back!
