Like For Peace On Earth

I just got an offer for a university which I had applied to for fun because I thought it ranked too high for me to get in which is great but idk if I want to accept the offer opposed to another uni whose course I prefer but is ranked lower that was my first choice when applying. It feels like a waste to not go for the higher ranked uni but I'm scared that I wouldn't be as happy/interested with the course. I wish someone else could just make the choice for me honestly.

[“Many gay people will say that their families are “fine.” But when you ask for details, this means, basically, that the gay person has not been completely excluded from family events. Or that their partner, if they have one, is allowed in the house. Very few experience their personhood, lives, and feelings to be actively understood as equal to the heterosexual family members. Often parents or siblings keep the person’s homosexuality secret from others, or euphemize it. They vote for politicians who hurt gay people; they contribute to religious organizations that humiliate gay people; they patronize cultural products that depict gay people as pathological. They speak and act in ways that reinforce the idea of gay people as “special interest.” In many ways the message is clear that the gay person is not fully human. But because many gay people know others who have been more severely punished by their family’s prejudices, they look on their own continued compromised inclusion to be miraculously positive and a product of their own correct behavior.”]

Garlic powder & onion powder are literally like two beautiful twin sisters brushing eachothers long hair at the lake by moonlight one last time before they both walk into the forest and kill themselves

Well I really think quarantine is getting to me because I've made 5 loaves in 3 days and i genuinely want to be a baker.

It didnt turn out amazing, I added a bit too much salt and using only all-purpose flour wasn't a great choice but overall it's still good.

like people are just going to keep saying “theyre only queer because they want to be/because it gets them off/because they think it’s fun/because they saw a queer person and thought it sounded like a good idea/etc”. theyre gonna keep saying it.

and we are going to have to stop desperately scrambling to say noooo, they have to be like that, they have no choice, they wouldn’t be like this if they didnt have to. we HAVE to stop falling all over ourselves assuring straight people and transphobes that we hate being us as much as they hate us being us, that we are suffering and that’s why we deserve this decadence and deviancy. we HAVE to start saying “yeah ok and?”

being queer is a delight. deviant sex makes people really happy. being genderfucky is joyful. queerness CAN actually be an option you can choose, and that doesn’t make it worth less than if you only picked it with a gun to your head, because it is a good option and there are good reasons to pick it.

we have to stop shifting the goalpost to “we can’t help being like this”. the point is that being like this is good. being queer is good, whether you chose it on purpose or whether you only moonlight or whether you do it because it gets you off or because it’s fun and freeing or because you have been this way since you were born. queerness does not need to be earned or justified by an inability to be “”“normal”“”. if you are being queer that is good because being queer is good.
