Words Mean Things

I kinda hate Tumblr. And yet, I'm back. This time around, though, I'm staying away from social justice stuff cause that shit gets toxic on Tumblr real quick. I'm here for hilarious gifs and kittens and pop culture and oversharing.

Things are looking up. All those positive vibes are working. I am emotionally exhausted now but so thankful.

Also, out of tragedy came good fortune. I finally got to meet Bee Listy in person! And anyone who says there is no queer community can suck it. Cause I saw it so strongly these past few days, queers coming together to support one of us in trouble and to lift each other up during a horrible, scary time.

I just hit a motherfucking emotional wall. In the middle of Trader Joe’s, my body and brain were like, you are done. Sit down and cry it out. Now.

Sidetrack.

GPOY. I just hit a motherfucking emotional wall. In the middle of Trader Joe’s, my body and brain were like, you are done. Sit down and cry it out. Now.

Third day in a row I’ve woken up wishing desperately that the immediate memories in my brain were just nightmares. Please direct any and all prayers, good vibes and hopeful thoughts in the direction of Chicago.　

Life is really fucking fragile. Go tell the people you love that you love them. Right now.

I GOT IT!!!!! I’ve officially secured my first-year MSW field placement with UCAN’s LGBTQ Host Home Program! 

“We work from an anti-oppression, harm reduction, and positive youth development framework. These grounding principles place youth at center as experts in who they are and host volunteers and staff as supports in helping them achieve their life goals.” 

So. amazing.


Beyoncé isn’t Beyoncé because she reads comments on the Internet. Beyoncé is in Ibiza, wearing a stomach necklace, walking hand in hand with her hot boyfriend. She’s going on the yacht and having a mimosa. She’s not reading shitty comments about herself on the Internet, and we shouldn’t either. I just think, Would Beyoncé be reading this? No, she would just delete it or somebody would delete it for her. What I really need to do is close the computer and then talk back to that voice and say, Fuck you. I don’t give a shit what you think. I’m Beyoncé. I’m going to Ibiza with Jay-Z now, fuck off. Being criticized is part of the job, but seeking it out isn’t. That’s our piece to let go.

This is probably a stupid question, but um…any veggie dogs up in there?

They sure do!

The Joe Strummer
(formerly the Pete Shelley, the Steve Diggle and the Howard Devoto)
Vegetarian Dog: Meatless … and delicious!
$3.00

You can also get pretty much any of the veggie or cheese (if you swing that way) toppings you want on it.

Rachel come to Chicago and we will eat all the veggie dogs! Chicago, be warned, there’s a reason Rachel and I have never met in person…our awesomeness combined could be dangerous. You might wanna take cover should this meet up ever happen.
