i’m screaming Xena caused the Ides of March

Xena caused most things. Xena influenced the development of Taoism. Xena gave directions to Joseph and Mary, but she ALSO stopped Abraham from killing Isaac. Xena does ALL THE THINGS.

Xena singlehandedly created history.

That she did

Psst. See them pull millions - if not a billion - pounds from nowhere for this funeral.

NHS? Cost of living crisis? The everyday person will suffer. I'm behind ye all the way. I think I would not be the only Irish person who will also stand behind you to get those fucks out of the position they have.

That died with the Queen. Do with them like the rest of the world. Only royal I like is that King with the funky hats

ah, the duality

my budgeting app is like “did you know you’ve shopped at panda express 3 times this month?” to roast me like YEAH. maybe i HAVE. maybe i go buy crab rangoons every time i fail an exam bc the girl who closes during the week always tells me she likes my HAIR and sometimes it’s NICE to have a little POSITIVE INTERACTION WITH A STRANGER. and i steal plastic FORKS from there. is that OKAY with you?

It's never too late to be yourself

To clarify, I’m not a wlw. I’m a mlm. But this story is wlw related, and I hope it can make people feel better about themselves, especially those who took a while to come to terms with themselves.

I came out as gay when I was 16. The reception was varied. My mom’s side generally accepted me in a lukewarm way where you can tell deep down they’re kinda not ok with it, but are trying to be nice. My dad’s side of the family rejected me pretty harshly. So, as you can imagine, I felt pretty alone.

I live in the US while my maternal grandma lives in Canada. We go to visit her shortly after I came out, and she eventually became aware of my sexuality from the hushed whispers. There’s a stereotype that older folk aren’t too accepting of the LGBT community, so I was nervous given she was 71… but I was wrong. She accepted me. Not only that, but she seemed to genuinely accept me. I didn’t get the vibe of lingering discomfort (and I’m very intuitive with that sort of thing). It was a relief.

She ended up getting an email address, and we’d keep touch via email. We’d talk about the typical stuff: school, work, friends. But she also asked me about my love life, seeming genuinely interested. It didn’t seem unnatural to her that I’d be pursuing boys instead of girls. She was the first to hear about my first boyfriend, and by far the most supportive of it.

Fast forward 2 years. I’m 18. I was about to go into college (somewhere more liberal, for my own sake). I had been in a relationship for almost a year now. Things were going pretty well. I was still in touch with my grandma. Then one day, she asked if she can vent about something. I said of course.

Her email was long. She talks about how she was never really attracted to my grandfather (he died when they were 65 of a heart attack). She considered him her best friend, and she missed him dearly as a friend, but nothing more. She admitted that she considered it a relief when the two grew older and the once flaming hot passion cooled down to a mere sizzle.

She told me how she was into women her entire life, though she denied it for a while. She reminisced about repressed crushes on ex best friends, finding female celebrities attractive and denying it, basically a lot of stuff that seems pretty typical of the stories of lesbians in denial. 

She told me that it felt too late to be a lesbian. She was 73, had been married to a man, never was into women, and “past her prime.” I could only imagine how painful it was to have denied such a major part of herself for so long. When I came out at 16, I couldn’t imagine waiting another day, let alone so many decades.

I can’t pretend like my response was perfect and insightful. I was still a dumb 18 year old. But I did my best to assure her otherwise, and that she may as well live the rest of her life the way she wants to. I forget exactly what I said, but she thanked me and we moved on, talking about my upcoming college or something. The details escape me.

Fast forward another 5 years, to the present. If anything, her love life is going better than mine. She found a partner (also on a similar boat - in her 70’s, once married to a now dead man, denied her true sexuality), and she’s been with her for 2 years. I finally got the chance to meet her a year ago and they're so cute together and it’s the happiest I’ve ever seen my grandma.

It’s never too late to be yourself :)

Don’t come at me about the Bible and homosexuality if you’re using it to justify your homophobia. I will demolish you.

Also, for some cultures including early Christianity, sodomite could very well have ment someone gravely inhospitable, as the sin of Sodom was inhospitality and not anal sex.

I wanted to talk about that too but I was running out of tweets I could put on a singular thread 😅 thank you so much for this addition!

@louithescribe

I’m reblogging this partially because it’s frickin awesome, and partially for future reference, cus yeah the evangelical community is really scary to be in as part of the LGBTQA community

People keep asking for the links on the thread, so, here’s a link to the thread.

Whoa this is one of the BEST things I’ve ever seen!! And I learned a lot from it which I can tell my LGBTQ+ friends so that they can also destroy someone with this knowledge! Thank you so much for making a stand!

This was some hella good stuff here. I knew there was corruption with Bible verses and such but wow this was supremely informative!

I’ve reblogged this before, but I always feel like someone might need to see this.

I'm going to fucking lose it I'm in my "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS" sweatshirt and my professor said "is that a motley crew reference" and I said "my shirt? No it's a lesbian reference" and she said "oh good I hate that song"

This sounds like a lot, but it’s true. An estimated 100,000,000 sharks per year are killed, threatening many species with endangerment or extinction.

Scary predators are important to the ecosystem, too. Conservation’s not just about the panda bears.

therapist: can you…. give me an example?
