When asked how Oklahoma leadership would deal with 2slgbtq+ hatecrimes in schools, in the context of a literal child being murdered in Owasso this month, one of our senators stated:
"I represent a constituency that doesn't want that filth in Oklahoma [...] We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state – we are a moral state."
To be clear the "filth" he is referring to is the 2slgbtq+ student who was murdered.
Shame on Oklahoma leadership and shame on everyone who supports them.

the first time I was suicidal I was 11
shit was horrid and I'd had enough, but I never ended up going through with it
we hadn't realised that dinosaurs had feathers yet. (or at least, people who suggested it were laughed at. at the very least, nothing 11 year old me had access to mentioned it)
if I had gone through with it I never would have known dinosaurs have feathers.
IMAGINE! Never learning about that!!
and there's so many other incredible things I've learnt, incredible people I've met, innumerable things I've learnt about myself, amazing experiences I've had
in the 20 years since then, I've LIVED so much.
yes I've had relapses, multiple, many relapses, but every time I'm struggling I just think what future discovery I could miss out on , what mind-opening discovery about the universe! what small, personal discovery that changes the gentleness with which I treat myself
I know this may not work for everyone (but as long as it helps even one person id be happy), but what I'm saying is, yes shit is hard, but just imagine all the incredible things the future may bring

So something I've had to come to terms with recently especially as I get farther and farther into my transition is that it doesn't really matter how I'm perceived by other people. Like, sure, it hurts to get misgendered and it leads to a really uncomfortable experience but also it doesn't really have anything to do with how I perceive myself and I feel like way too much of my identity is wrapped up into how others perceive me instead of who I want to be and who I already am. I'm a little bricky and my voice is kind of deep and honestly that's fucking rad. I'm a weird little freak and I love it. My body is mine and I've shaped it into something that I love and I shouldn't let other people force me to modify it further in a way that only exists for *their* convenience and *their* pleasure. I guess what I'm trying to say is I need to learn how to stop being worried about being a freaky trans bitch because being a freaky trans bitch is cool and fun as hell.

A very specific idea/scenario I have about Alastor's sleeping habits
He barely even sleeps in the first place. He sleeps like only a few hours a week, in one go. He locks himself up in his room once a week, sleeps for 4 hours straight and that's it. And since he doesn't sleep much, each time he does he falls into a deep slumber and it's absolutely impossible to wake him up he's straight up passed out until he gets fully recharged.
He does this because the idea of being in a vulnerable position where anyone could do anything to him while he's completely defenseless is too unsettling for him, so he sleeps as little as he can and always makes sure he's locked up first, away from everyone else's eyes.
HOWEVER, one time he's playing cards with the rest of the hotel, and because he got unconsciously so comfortable around them, he accidently falls asleep on the couch during the game. Everyone is shocked because they didn't even know he actually needed to sleep (they always hear him walk around the hotel humming at night like an absolute creep so they just all collectively assumed he didn't need to sleep).
Charlie panicks a little because nothing seems to wake him up, but he's still breathing and seems fine, eventually they all just let him sleep there and keep on going with their card games since the noise doesn't seem to bother him. Charlie even put a blanket on him, and Angel initially wants to draw something on his face as a prank but in the end everyone agrees not to try anything like this, because who knows how the radio demon would react,,, could be dangerous.
A few hours later Alastor finally wakes up, immediately understands what happened and plays it cool like "Oh dear, looks like I passed out, too bad I couldn't finish the game :) oopsie" but internally he's SCREAMING
EDIT: greykolla was faster than me and made a comic about it it's so so good 😭 crying

idrk how to phrase this but the amount of people who think minors esp teenagers don’t have any sexuality is so strange to me. i totally get not wanting to sexualize teens and i think that’s a good thing but when i watched my friend on twt once get told “you can’t be asexual because you’re a minor and minors don’t experience sexual urges” i realized that ppl r kinda missing the point lmao
