I Beaned so hard.

By the time I actually got into the arena and stood in my spot in the pit, I was already a little sad because I didn’t get VIP, so bean was my only chance. I was on Kevin’s side of the stage and dance singing my way through every song. When No was happening, Kevin was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. At some point he pointed towards me and we started dancing at each other. It was a battle. There was also a point where Avi was looking directly at me, he makes eye contact from the stage, in case you’re into that sort of thing. So later when the beans were tossed on stage I started screeching for Kevin to pick me. I was screaming and pointing to my hat and waving… Anyway, he picked me and I wiggled my ass out the crowd (lmao I kept saying “it’s me!” in the most childish voice ever), climbed some pretty dangerous stairs and ran to Kevo’s arms. He had the biggest smile on his face and hugged me and said “oh my gosh! How are you!?” And I, in my highest voice, said “I’m good!” We hugged for a moment before sitting. Then, like old friends, we caught up. He asked how I’d been and said he loves seeing my tweets. I told him I try, emphasis on TRY, to be funny and he told me I succeeded. Kevin Olusola told me, Aubree Olu- *ahem*… Jackson, that he loved my tweets and they always make his day. The song started and Kevin said “Oh. I know you know this.” I said “Oh. I do.” Then he snapped me. And we spent most of the song dancing together and being cute. I sang one of the backgrounds from the album, mostly out of habit, and after the song was over he said he loved it. We hugged, in the beans, then we stood up, cause I needed to leave. Mitch came over and said he loved my hair, hugged me and said “Bye queen!” I hugged Avi, who said I did amazing. Then Kevin again before Kate escorted me off the stage. I said hi to Kate too. After the show, I tweeted a thank you to Kevin and he tweeted back. So, all in all, yesterday was an absolute dream and I want nothing but the best and the happiest for that man. He’s a precious human and he’s so uplifting, just his presence is uplifting. Now my voice is gone and I miss his embrace. That is all.

So, I talked to Jeffrey Marsh...

I saw one of their vines on my dash a moment ago and remembered when I’d gotten to a point where I was dysphoric with everything I was doing with myself at the time. I felt so out of sorts and disgusting. I was talking it out to Eric (@xelethaine), because I was hoping talking would help me find a solution, but it wasn’t helping. After a few days of waiting to see if something would change, it didn’t, Eric suggested I tried talking to someone that was older and had more experience with being non-binary. Mostly on a whim, I sent a message to Jeffrey. I didn’t expect anything from it really.

“I’m pretty knew to my own genderfluidity and I’m struggling with a lot of dysphoric feelings I never had before, to the point where I don’t feel fluid anymore. I guess my question is if this is just part of my fluidity, or if I’m just a transman.”

The next day, Christmas morning, I’d received a message.

“What a wonderful question! My first thought is, please don’t feel any pressure to have a label. I just say genderqueer when people ask me what I am because I don’t really feel like anything! You don’t need a clear idea of who you are in order to learn to express yourself and treat yourself with kindness. That’s far more important than ‘knowing what you are.’ Does that make sense?”

It was exactly what I needed to hear and hopefully, if you’re struggling, this message will help you too. Love yourself, regardless of if you fit inside a label or not. Just be you.

reblog this and in the tags, write the band that comes to mind first when you think back to being 13 years old

fyi non-natives wearing moccasins isnt cultural appropriation but if you want moccasins you should definitely be buying them from natives. otherwise youre creating profit for the white people who were/are trying to exterminate us.

I was told this by a Native American guy I went to school with so now I do that. I’d rather put money back where it belongs. This resonates deeply with me as a black woman who tries to support Black and Non White individuals. - K

!!! Please this thing, don’t buy crappy moccasin rip off shoes from chains, please make sure you buy authentic ones made by us!! Also stop wearing them in the fucking rain and ruining them goddamnit

also the ones made by first nations are always way better anyway????? there’s this woman named Sunshine Tenasco-Brazeau in eastern canada that makes them for babies and they’ve been known to sell like crazy because they’re amazing. You can get them here and she employs tons of other first nations women and it’s a great little native-owned company. 

Reblogging this for the links in the last comment. It’s really cool to raise awareness, but it’s even cooler with something like this to provide links to places where you can actually buy the goods in question!

Beyond Buckskin has a whole list of native online retailers, so you can get your fix and feel good about where you’re sending your money!

People keep saying that Detective Pikachu is going to have the obligatory almost-swear-but-cut-away-last-second joke, and it almost certainly is going to do that

But I can’t stop thinking about the fact that the movie IS PG-13

Meaning they can get away with saying fuck once and keep it PG-13

Superheroes being 197% done with wii music playing

This is a gift to humankind

baby boomers: climate change & bisexuals aren’t real also i’m better than u

gen x: !!! kids these days are spending too much time on the phones!! they’re faking the depression & anxiety !!

millennials: people need to realize the importance of our truths and struggles; rent prices, shitty education, decreased job opportunities, and discrimination, are causing genuine problems among today’s population

gen z: ok i’m ready to eat fruit, be gay, go to the moon, and die lets go fuckers

I love that my bisexuality allows me to be attracted to every member of pentatonix.

Kevin did not think that one through
