Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight
I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever
But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”
This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it
And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit
So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too
Vice doesn't have many expressions other than "tragic victorian anxiety" but one of them is definitely "caught two seconds away from slurping your soul like a gogurt"
i remember a friend and i used to play around in the cemetery as kids and make up elaborate stories about the people buried there, i still find them pretty nice and not so much creepy
cemeteries aren't creepy they're actually devoted to memory and rest and love and humanity
sir, why are you still here? this place is a wasteland, what do you stand to gain by staying on this hellsite?
Absolutely nothing. That's its appeal.
BIG emphasis on the Trevor Project. personally had the best experience, and i’ve gone to talk to them during some of the hardest times in my life. yes they do the therapy speak, but they take such good care to be respectful, kind, and really get to the route of problems and help find solutions. yes, it’s their job, but compared to other places i’ve gone through, the Trevor Project has always felt genuine and comforting. and texting/chatting online is a big plus if calling is a stressor for you or you’re in a situation where calling on the phone is risky!
