“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020

Just a reminder that Vincent van Gogh did not eat yellow paint to make himself feel happy, he ate paint, and drank different chemicals because he was suicidal and this is why he was not allowed in his studio while having breakdowns. He also did not paint starry night and his other great works because he was depressed, he painted most of them while he was in recovery and demonstrated his hopefulness and love of the world through this. Most of his great works were painted from his room at a hospital. Van Gogh’s depression should not be glorified. His hope and effort toward a better life, as well as his recovery from depression should be glorified.
You’re right and you should say it

Hating homophobes/transphobes irl is SO DIFFERENT because you know you should hate them, you have no trouble hating the same people online, but you know this person, you just talked about the math homework a minute ago, you know they’d hate you if they ever found out about you but yesterday they offered you tictacs and you had a laugh about a bird hitting the window, and you’re so fucking terrified because you don’t want to lose this, you don’t want to lose any of them but you know their opinion and you know you’ll never be yourself around them and it’s heartbreaking and terrifying
i know the mtv movie awards aren’t the end all be all of awards but the fact that moonlight won best kiss last year and love simon won this year just makes my small gay heart just a little happier :’-)
