A Letter To Parents

a letter to parents

if your child flinches whenever you move, you’ve done something wrong.

if your child memorizes your work schedule and uses that as knowledge of when they can have a good day, you’ve done something wrong.

if your child is scared to tell you what’s wrong, you’ve done something wrong.

if your child gets in trouble a lot for your attention, you’ve done something wrong.

if their grades start to slip, don’t yell at or degrade them, help them.

if you’re child comes out as LGBTQ+, support them, DO NOT kick them out, harass them, ignore what they said, or tell them that they’re wrong, no matter what.

support your child, do your fucking job and be a good fucking parent because that’s what your child needs. they don’t need an asshole who degrades them or ignores them.

With Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty on one side and bulbous-headed Fart Ninjas on the other, the gender divide was impossible to avoid at the North American International Toy Fair in New York City back in February.

The light-up Barbie mermaids vying for space with Gatling-style foam-dart blasters in Manhattan’s Javits Center raised a question: Have toys really progressed since our grandparents’ days? And how do the toys we play with shape the people we grow up to be?

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow

To all the lesbians who gave their first kiss to a boy.

To all the lesbians who aren't "golden star lesbians".

To all the lesbians that had to deal with compulsory heterosexuality.

To all the lesbians who felt pressured by society to be with boys.

To all the lesbians who had a really tough time coming to terms with their identity.

To all the lesbians who put up with any kind of lesbophobia on the daily.

To all the lesbians who have to listen to guys their age sexualizing gay girls.

You are walking through hell with your chin up and I am so proud of you. I love you and you're valid.

If you don’t wanna spend rainy days with a girl cuddled up in a blanket playing movie after movie and eating snacks and drinking hot drinks and petting your pets that walk by and falling in and out of sleep all day what are you even doing
