Trying to remind myself that im allowed to take painkillers even if the pain is "my fault".
A migraine is a result of, not a punishment for forgetting to eat - take the painkillers.
Back pain is a result of, not a punishment for poor posture - take the painkillers.
Sore joints are a result of, not a punishment for overexertion - take the painkillers.
Pain is not a punishment for a mistake. Painkillers are there to ease suffering. There is no glory in misery. There is no virtue in agony.
I think one of the reasons drag kings aren’t as popular as drag queens, aside from the fact that straight women don’t like us, is that people are uncomfortable acknowledging masculinity as a performance. Like we as a society know that femininity is a performance, with its own costumes and rules. Masculinity is also a performance, and nothing makes that more clear than someone making an exaggeration of it

its been said before but media that emphasizes optimism and a kind of childlike wonder in the face of life’s cruelty is unmistakably more mature than media that emphasizes that cruelty, even though it’s not as realistic.
whats that one quote by CS Lewis.. “someday you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again.”
Media that emphasizes cruelty is written by those who dream of the battlefield.
Media that emphasizes optimism is written by those who have survived the battlefield.
transmisogynists turned chasers are very funny I will agree but there’s something particularly vile about how these people only support trans people they consider hot like ok u say that even tho ur a t*rf you respect hunter schafer but if she didn’t pass or wasn’t skinny or white or conventionally attractive you would 100% be calling for her to be beaten to death in the streets
this is the tweet I’m referencing btw bc it’s too funny not to add
hitting the nail on the head
Fata Morgana
a superior mirage caused by warm air resting on patches of colder air in an atmospheric duct that acts like a refracting lens. Objects on the horizon could appear to be mirrored, distorted, or float. This form of mirage could be the reason for the Flying Dutchman Legend.

(Don’t mention my brother. You’re the reason why he’s dead. You burned the herb, left us with no protector. Then Namor struck and killed my mother. Their blood is on your hands!) … Nah, that ain’t on me.
