I think it should take longer to make tv shows and movies. I think shooting days should be shorter. I think AD's lives should be longer. I think we shouldn't have to be in a goddamn rush all the time. I think we should have the time it takes to make good art. I think fans should wait even longer than they do and be happy that everyone who made the art is getting full nights of sleep.
sorry for being so weird it's my first time being alive
I've never met someone who disliked me for the right reasons. Only I know why you should dislike me and you're wrong
[image description: A series of tweets by Death and the Emperor (@OrionDBlack) responding to matt (@Lubchansky). The tweet from Matt says, "the US is obviously hurtling into a serious 'gender critical' movement and frankly i have no idea how we're supposed to combat it given that almost nobody who isn't trans seems to give a shit or notice"
Death and the Emperor responds with this:
Aight imma spit real quick and hope my FBI agent doesn't turn my phone off. /j Let's talk real quick.
There was a moment in Black History around the Civil Rights movement where there was a currently-unimaginable amount of coalition building. It is truly amazing to me that a letter from the Panthers talking about queer rights was signed by Mexican, Chinese, Black etc activists.
During that time, and the time that followed, the government dedicated themselves to wedging as much bullshit between our groups as possible. Crack. AIDS. Model minorities. Super predators. It just goes on and on.
Every time class consciousness gets a little bit closer to being realized, shit like this comes out in full force. We se BLM being branded as ultra violent. We see gender critical movements get a massive flux in support. We see how disabled people are basically being euthanized.
It's just straight facts that our government is experienced in disrupting and assaulting leftist movements. All of it is on public record. Our own country is included in the collective that have been broken down and 'readjusted' for the benefit of white supremacy and capitalism.
The good thing is that we know we're getting closer, cuz they're scared. The bad thing is that we lose lives and are pushed a few steps back. Trans people are more of a target now than we were before, and it was already bad. Disabled people. PoC. The intersections therein.
I kinda miss the slogan 'all power to all the people' means EVERYONE. It's inclusive. It implies that the work of deconstructing our isms is how we empower ourselves and are able to then collect under mutual interest.
All power to all the people yall.
Anyway. Just do what you can. Just surviving is a revolutionary act. If you can do more, do so. We'll figure this shit out somehow. /end id]

everyday is valentines day if u are a fool and have love in yourheart
okay but saying “i wish i had known you sooner” — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.
healing involves a lot more grieving than you’d expect. progress hurts. you’re moving on from things that happened but also things you wished would happen and never did. mourning does not mean you are not getting better.

Homosexuality explained in a German Children’s Book
‘he tells me jokes, just like dad does’ so this poor kid has to put up with two, maybe three times the dad jokes
That book is called Daddy’s Roommate. And it is one of the books that gets destroyed the most in libraries, forcing libraries to have to purchase it again. That’s right–homophobes keep destroying it, forcing people to buy more copies, which in turn keeps it in print.
you have to get yourself out of bad places. you need to resist the temptation to let everything slip and become apathetic & cynical toward yourself and your life. you need to accept that it takes time to change and it’s ok to fall over as long as u get back up. every morning is a new start and things don’t have to be this way forever. you can heal and you can change.
