In What Version Of Reality Is This World Not A Dystopia?

God I really do be too empathic for this shit

my toxic trait is simply not doing things if i don't want to do them

hey. don’t cry. crush two cloves of garlic into a pot with a dollop of olive oil and stir until golden then add one can of crushed tomatoes a bit of balsamic vinegar half a tablespoon of brown sugar half a cup of grated parmesan cheese and stir for a few minutes adding a handful of fresh spinach until wilted and mix in pasta of your choice ok?

hey. don't cry. I went to Mad At You island and none of your friends were there :)

thing is, there are some drag shows that kids shouldn’t be at. hell, I’ve performed in some drag shows that specifically didn’t allow anyone under 19 (usually in bars). and that’s ok. drag is a wide spectrum of art and sometimes the performances are fun and colourful and designed to be appropriate for kids (like drag story time, which I’ve also done) and sometimes they are meant to only be seen by adults. that doesn’t make them inherently harmful to children any more than other art forms. movies, music, shows, books, all of these things have similar kid-friendly and not-kid-friendly designations. the fact that they are being attacked is simply due to homophobia and transphobia, and nothing else.

Ya know what?? Screw societal norms. Life is short and society bombards us with constant reminders that we need to be something else. That we need to be a certain way, but the truth is we can be whatever we want. Needing approval is only the construct that we are unqualified to make our own decisions. Go be, I believe in you.
