REMEMBER THAT EPISODE WHERE REESE THOUGHT MALCOLM WAS GAY AND MALCOLM THOUGHT REESE WAS GAY AND THEY TALKED ABOUT IT BUT LIKE THIS I’M CRYING
Daily reminder:
If they wanna talk to you, they will. If they wanna be with you, they will. If they wanna make things work, they will. Don’t let things be one sided. It’s not healthy, and it’s not fair to you.
I was at Disneyland yesterday and when I walked into the Princess Fantasy Faire I welled up with tears as I witnessed a magical moment with the newest princess Elena of Avalor speaking in full Spanish to a small princess visiting from Latin America.
Representation matters.
Oooh she’s so pretty 😍
Me: crying at this beautiful magical moment…
Also me: I don’t understand what is being said except zapatos. They are talking about shoes and I’m crying again.
I guess I should’ve translated for the non-Spanish speakers.
Elena: “Your shoes are so sparkly! You know my grandmother always says a princess needs something sparkly so everyone knows that you are a princess and look; you have your crown, your dress and your shoes. Everything is so beautiful!”
basically all my sentences start with one of these
- ok so
- basically
- omg
- no but seriously
- actually
- ok
- wow
- ok wow (or wow ok)
- wait
- but wait
- no wait
- guys
- oh wow
- so like
- dude
if you mix some of these together you could make so many more…
If you feel like you have to stop wearing cultural or religious symbols like hijab to stay safe THAT IS OKAY. YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN.
If you feel like you have to start dressing a different way to stay safe THAT IS OKAY. YOU ARE STILL VALID.
If you feel like you have to change your hair, or anything else to stay safe THAT IS OKAY. YOU ARE VALID.
If you feel like you have to change ANYTHING AT ALL, STOP DOING SOMETHING AND ANYTHING to stay safe, THAT IS OKAY.
It will BE okay.
Do what you can to stay safe for now, and protect your loved ones who have to do similar things to stay safe.
Just remember that you are loved and you are valid and you will be forgiven for whatever you have to do to stay safe from this oppressive racist xenophobic homophobic transphobic sexist orange highlighter
i texted my dad and told him i’m terrified. he called me and said this:
“I know you’re scared. I know you feel isolated and helpless. But you aren’t alone. You have me. You have our family. You have your friends and your readers and millions of other Americans who are going to scream down the mountains with you. I know a lot of queer people grew up with just them against the world, but that isn’t how it is anymore. Even if he wins, you’ll be alright, because you aren’t alone.”
and now i’m crying.
