look I haven't been a 1D blog since like 2015 but I'm too fond of the url to change it. even I don't know what to expect from me anymore. call me cat (she/they)
every time my bf says “for the time being” i respond with “for the time bean” and then we say “all hail the time bean” and carry on the conversation like nothing happened
tiktokers who say classic lit is bad because its not relatable 1. thats not the fucking point 2. you’ve clearly never read twelfth night as a trans bisexual
you’ve clearly never read Frankenstein as a student
If you’re fucked up enough a lot of classic lit suddenly becomes uncomfortably relatable tbh.
This is 100% true, but also: literature is a great way to engage with people you don’t actually relate to, and practice feeling empathy for them anyway. I have never been in a battle, but I have cried over the Iliad multiple times because I was suddenly made very aware that every single war has people like Hector in it, who leave their families one day and just never come home to them. Please keep looking for things you find relatable in unexpected places - but not everything has to be relatable for it to be worthwhile.
Not everything has to be about you to be worth reading
Marchers in Pride parade on Capitol Hill, Seattle, June 27, 1993
This photo of the 1993 Pride parade shows a group of women, some wearing t-shirts printed with “I’m not a BOY,” carrying a banner reading “Women often mistaken for men in public restrooms.”
I never watched the pony show but I really enjoy what you folks are doing with those horses these days. Just today, I saw an image of the yellow one smoking a bong and wearing a “nine inch nails” tee shirt.
