#having complicated thoughts about family o clock #on one hand my family regularly expresses bigoted opinions and questionable parenting methods #on the other hand I come from a family of hardworking women who are all smart and talented #my grandmother and I had a long talk about crocheting and crafting the other day #and it was very nice! #on the other hand #I'm kind of the only queer person in my family that I know of #and I'll probably never know of any queer relatives bc you guessed it! homophobia #so i don't really have much choice but to look up to the women in my family even though the label of woman does not apply to me #it's like I have to choose between making everyone in my family proud of the idea they have of me #or disappoint them all and not recieve any appreciation/validation from them ever again #floof for thought
