I prefer men who are improper, and all that sort of thing. If I were a man myself I should go in for everything I ought to leave alone. I know I should. But you see,—I'm not a man, and I must take care of myself . . . I like a fast man, but I know that I must not dare to marry the sort of man that I like.

Anthony Trollope, from Phineas Finn

No, my hair isn’t actually buzzed all short (just the 1 side and undercut), and the one on the right is using Snapchat’s filter that is supposed to “turn you into your opposite sex twin,” or some shit.

Is this maybe… gender euphoria…. Or is it the Sleep Deprivation?

… the world may never know.

Btw, My love @ultraterrestrialstars did the cut <3

#opposite sex twin #filter #if I were a boy #if I were a twink #lmao #has someone made a version of that song called that - bc they really should #gender bender #undercuts #lgbtqia #Snapchat filter #for funsies #nonbinary #genderfluid #I could only dream of having that jaw or those eyebrows #lol

Othello Act 1

"She swore, in faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing

strange.

'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful.

She wished she had not heard it, yet she wished

That heaven had made her such a man. She thanked

me,

And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her,

I should but teach him how to tell my story,

And that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake.

She loved me for the dangers I had passed,

And I loved her that she did pity them.

This only is the witchcraft I have used."

Othello, Act 1, sc 3, lines 184-95

When speaking before the Duke and Desdemona's father, Othello explains how he and Desdemona met and fell in love.

What's interesting is how the lines "She wished she had not heard it, yet she wished/That heaven has made her such a man" can be read a couple different ways. The first way is that she wished that there was a man made FOR her that fit the description Othello was giving. But the more intriguing interpretation is that she wishes SHE were such a man. Here we can see her desire to have adventures and do things a man can do. Part of the reason she fell in love with Othello was so that she might have a chance to go with him on adventures.

Is this the best reason to fall in love? No. Does she pay for it? Yeah. And she deserves better. She deserves Emilia. And she so would have a crush on Elizabeth Swann, Pirate King.

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.
