A life without trans people in it is a pretty shitty life.
I need to be a xanned out housewife and just not look at the news
im so old but i dont think I like using StoryGraph and seeing reading as a statistic
it’s kind of nuts that I know two people who are getting fired bc of musk like ???
it’s actually exhausting not taking anything for granted and saying I love you all the time. actually taking things for granted is nice and may we all be able to feel peace and comfort and silliness and not think of the worse thing that could happen when someone walks out the door

rich people are too concerned with living forever instead of their actual legacy. build a train that works and name it after yourself. fund the arts. stop chugging collagen and digesting infant blood and being a little bitch
No one says “woke” more than republicans they’re obsessed with that word
