RIP - this is kinda hitting me more than normal because i loved this song as a closeted kid. it became more special to me as i grew older. aside from the song being catchy and fun it celebrated same-sex attraction during a time i felt alone and unsafe. thanks, jill sobule.

you ever think about that? imagine if you could section out a cube of space and remove every single “thing” within it. take out all the particles, leave a complete void. you would still be left with the remnants of the universe; a quantum foam of could-be and probability. the foundations of physics still remain. absolutely fascinating.

anyway, the universe is unfathomable and we are delusional and arrogant for thinking we can understand it. and thank god for that because we wouldn’t be making the progress we are.

genocide doesn't have to be a violent extermination. you can take away resources until they die or, hey, kill themselves! nobody to blame, nobody to care. it'll keep happening until numbers are significantly reduced with other attacks on LGBT livelihood. this isn't just Trump being a fucking asshole; this is a fascist wanting us gone.

i feel bad for everyone truly trapped in Arkansas but it is hard to give a shit when the majority are terrible people

oh you can’t? and what is anyone gonna do about it?

of course they can. gender affirmation is for anyone who feels the desire to achieve their gender presentation. if you have a gender you are attached to and want to represent then doing anything to get to that goal is your right whether you're trans or cis.

i was 16 years old and decided, for some reason, that it was a great time to come out as the only gay kid in school in the year 2005. i was living with my father and had to keep it secret because he was extremely homophobic. the kids bullied me and i eventually dropped out because my life was threatened and they told me where i lived after i called their bluff lol, k bye. before then i was able to tell my mother with a school counselor that i was gay. she kinda knew and was fine with it but was worried my life would be difficult.

eventually, my father somehow found out and asked me and i confirmed his suspicions. he told me he didn't accept it and that i could change. blah blah blah. i thought he would beat me and kick me out, because he told me he would. he said i would never be his child if i were gay. one time, there were two gay dudes in the back of a wedding photo he was looking at with me and his girlfriend, and he tore it up into pieces and said "i don't want any fucking faggots in this house." noted! anyway, he didn't do shit and eventually accepted me. i don't talk to him anymore because he's a fascist.

this is such a fucking waste of time and is nothing more than pandering bullshit. we don't want you to try to pass something that WON'T PASS and WON'T STOP FASCISM. please do something more. please do something that fucking matters.

Chloe and Theo have been attached since I adopted him with my partner ~2.5 years ago. He does enjoy beating her up though lol. I have to take him off her every so often because he likes to wrestle when she’s not in the mood. They’re both super affectionate to each other and us.

then they’ll have to do that because i am not willingly paying shit.

[-] obscureprodigy@pawb.social 21 points 7 months ago

that’s fine. i’m not paying.

ah, i'll take your word for it. but it seems closing a psych unit would cut staff and resources which would lead to something terrible like this.

~~they say they want to know how and why this happened. you already know. they did not have the staff or support needed to properly take care of your child because of cuts by your state and local government. it is unconscionable.~~

i think i misunderstood the main cause for this. still a terrible decision being made by greed and business first mentality.
