Exactly this ☝️ you are never going to understand everything about everyone. Sometimes people don't even understand themselves! But being open to learning and respecting different experiences (including your own) is how you begin to understand!
“I don’t understand asexual people” “I don’t understand non binary people” you don’t have to. you can think a sexuality or gender makes no sense, and still support people who identify that way. you can still be there for them and be kind to them. I didn’t understand asexuality, so I talked to asexual people and read stories written from their point of view and actively tried to understand it. after learning, I think I might even be on the ace spectrum. the point is, you can respect people without understanding them.

Part 2 of my KFAM Tarot card deck!!!
Me starting the two princes this morning and binging the whole thing in one day
unironically the mindset that saved my life
“gays go to hell” factoid actually just statistical error. average gay goes to heaven. Gay Castiel, who was sent to super mega ultra hellx1000 after confessing gayness, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
“We live in a world where we’re always in our own little bubbles. Whether it’s in our cars, at our desks in our little broom closet of an office, in our home.
In our cars it’s ‘my daily drives’, and “you are in my way.”
When we get to work it’s ‘my promotion’, “how dare anyone get in the way of that.”
When we’re home it’s “my god what a rough day I had.”
But you know what will take you out of the shadows and make everything a little brighter?
Love.
I’m not just talking strictly about a romantic type of love. Because, let’s face it, a lot of people hide behind that. Putting themselves in emotional limbo based on a feeling someone else has about them, and sometimes that brand of love just isn’t available. What I’m talking about is just regular, plain old love. Love of oneself. Love of one another. Love used as a weapon, instead of hate. To defeat hate - hate of what’s different than us, hate of what we don’t understand, hate of others, hate of oneself.
It’s so easy to get caught up in our day to day lives stuck in the intricacies of what we think matters. Being late to work, getting that promotion, making sure your bank account has enough zeros in it, making sure we can keep up with the Joneses. But you know what will actually make your life more rich?
Love.
Love will make you richer, and loving youself? Well that can make you richest of all.
You don’t need someone else to find your self worth. Yes, it does help if they see it in you, even if sometimes you can’t see it yourself. But love, I promise you, is always the right answer.
We deal with scary things in this world. You hear the news we talk about on the daily. It is scary, and it sucks, and most of the time sadly it doesnt have a happy ending. And we aren’t promised tomorrow. Not one of us - rich, poor, happy, sad. We do not know that tomorrow will be there for us. So we have to make each day mean something. We have to make each day count. And that should start and end with love.
Start by loving the little things until it’s a given. Then take on the bigger stuff.
Love your parents. Even if they didn’t understand you, or know what you were going through, or made things rough on you.
Love your friends, because they put up with your crazy ass.
But most importantly, love yourself. Because there’s only one of you, and despite the fact that you can see every little flaw, every bad thing you’ve ever done, every time you’ve let yourself down. Love yourself, because you are worthy of love, because you should be loved. And if we keep trying, we keep loving, all those little things we see as so damn important wont matter, and then the only thing you will be left with is the good, is the love. And I promise you that will be the best version of you there can be.
So that’s all I’ve got guys. Just, you know, love.
Love is all you need.”

Jet Siquliak, resident aro-ace: Romantic and sexual attraction seem only to cause needless drama that would better be avoided.

Jet: See what I mean.
I think about this post so much! When I finally tell my family that I'm queer I would love to throw a party. Make a rainbow layer cake and get each person to wear a different rainbow color!
I know gender reveal parties seem like cishet nonsense but it would be cool af if coming out parties became a thing. Like, a world where a kid (or adult, for that matter) genuinely has the ability to announce their sexuality to the world, no matter what it is. I’d imagine they generally take place in middle or high school, sort of when kids start actually dating, and would be thrown by a few older relatives, but it could also be totally acceptable to wait until you’re older and throw one yourself or have friends throw it. Instead of the stereotypical nervous “mom…dad…I’m gay” it’s more LIKE a gender reveal party, because you cheer no matter the result because “what’s really important is that they’re healthy and happy.” And kids can say with equal confidence and excitement “I’m straight,” “I’m gay,” “I’m bisexual,” “I’m asexual,” “I’m…”
me, crying for the last 20 minutes of episode 42: it's going to be O-A-K 🙃🙃🙃
