i love being in bed like yea everything is terrible but at least i’m in bed
Me when I put all my energy into pretending to be chill when in reality everything bothers me deeply
can we just take a moment to appreciate how in the past week there have been TWO mainstream pieces of media that outright and blatantly say that B in LGBTQIA+ is not and will never be silent.
ok, i have to say this before i say anything else about the rwrb movie:
when the book came out, it was groundbreaking. it was one of the first true queer rom coms. this movie is now even more groundbreaking.
yes, some depth and detail was lost from the book, but that’s bound to happen in any adaptation. but before we complain about that, let’s ask ourselves:
exactly how many fluffy, fairy tale, sexy, funny, sugary, queer romance movies are there? you could probably count them all on one hand, and most of them probably aren’t major studio releases.
queer people deserve silly romcom movies too. queer people deserve to see themselves in tender, uncensored intimate moments on screen too. and, correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m pretty sure this is the first time a major motion picture has explicitly mentioned truvada/PrEP and included a conversation between a parent and child about safe queer sex. like…queer people don’t get shit like this, and now we do. and that’s a big deal.
a little more information regarding the maui wildfires:
- medical workers on the ground are describing finding hundreds of bodies. the current death toll in the media is, unfortunately, only a fraction of the reality
- hospital workers are describing injuries and trauma as if survivors had come out of a warzone
- thousands are still missing
- an apartment complex for the elderly was lost. not everyone could get out. people were saying goodbye to loved ones over the phone
- people who did get out of lahaina were leaving with ashes covering their faces and nothing but the clothes on their backs. people are losing everything.
hotels are still operating. hotels are still operating. they are not the ones offering shelters or housing or food. even bowling alleys are offering shelter, but hotels have the audacity to build on burial sites but not open their doors to local families who have lost everything.

nothing funnier than saying "back in my day" in your 20s as if you aren't the toddler of adults

my toxic trait is, I expect people to have common sense and I get mad when they don’t.
