On of the less intuitive things about love, I've found, of any kind, is the importance of needing things.

I didn't realize it until recently, but I've always seen love as something requiring sacrifice, selflessness, patience, and generosity- to ask for nothing is to be the best person I can be, small and quiet and never in the way, always happy and helpful, self-sufficient and present when desired.

It's only as an adult, now, that I'm beginning to see the selfishness of wanting nothing.

I cut my friend's hair in my kitchen the other day. They wanted a trim and I had the skills, so I offered, and was genuinely excited when they stopped hesitating over "bothering me" and took me up on it. It was a peaceful afternoon, and we had tea and chatted for an hour or more.

My brother and I shared popcorn at the movies a while ago. When I came time to pay, I pulled my card out like a wild western sheriff and slapped it on the machine before he could fight me for it first. The satisfaction was delightful.

Someone called me crying on the phone the other day. Kept apologizing for disturbing me at work, talking about how they were bothering me on my lunch break. I was telling the truth when I told them that really, I was flattered and honored and relieved, knowing that if they were hurting I would know, that I didn't have to worry in silence. It felt good to hear them slowly come down, and to know that they knew it would be better soon, and to hear them laugh wetly on the other end. We're getting together for a visit next week.

It's hard to need things, if you've trained yourself not to. It's hard to want things, when you don't know how to want anymore. Trusting people is difficult, and so is relying on them, but I don't know where I'd be without the people who rely on me.

I've heard a lot of people say, "Nobody will love you unless you love yourself". I've had a lot of thoughts about it. It's not right, but it's not wrong, either, I think.

"Nobody will love you unless you love yourself"... I've always taken that to mean, "You will not be lovable until you develop a positive view of yourself as a person".

Now, I think it's sort of inside-out.

"Nobody will love you unless you love yourself"... because nobody can show their love to you in a way that you can accept until you treat yourself kindly, and learn what you need, and what you want, and how to ask for it, and then give that vulnerability away.

Love, for me, is someone I ask for a ride to the airport. Whether they end up doing this or not is irrelevant.

It's not needy, or selfish, or taking up energy. It's giving the gift of being wanted, and needed, and thought of. It's giving someone the security of being part of someone's life.

So many gorgeous shiny rocks!

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

Trying to sell handmade crafts in this economy is so. Like. Hey guys I know we're all broke as fuck but do you want my silly little things. I'm very good at it. For the time it takes to make them + skill + materials it's gonna be 30$ per silly little thing. But also shipping costs 12$ for reasons outside my control so it's actually 42$ now. Sorry. No I really can't charge less than that. Yeah I know. Ok. Bye

Sometimes Cantrips are incredibly useful.

This is Ootah, my half-orc Wizard. Not a very conventional class/species mix, but I honestly loved the contrast, and that she was exceptionally tanky for what is normally a very glass cannon kind of class. I played her from level 10 to level 24, before RL interfered and my DM had to just flat out stop DMing. I miss playing her, so I want to share a story of something she did.

As part of the story, she and the rest of the party were working at the behest of Fate, through the medium of a saloon that existed on and connected to simultaneously on many planes of existence and many alternate timelines at near-random. As one of the marked of Fate, she'd get sent out with only a vague sentence or two and the faintest of hints as to what needed to happen. This time, it was an alternate history, and at least part of it was preventing the lynching murder of the local baron and his family - the local population were a few pitchforks away from mob mentality due to a lot of other things going on and that no-one had seen the baron's sister in over a year, and the house had been shut up tight right after they'd arrived in the area. The sort of thing that's pretty much gasoline on the fire of superstitious worry when the rest of the country's facing a war, something's been eating the livestock, and people keep turning up dead. Ootah was passing as a nun since this wasn't a high-magic world, and one of the party was Brother Enoch, a priest from yet another world that had been very much like this one they were in currently. Due to party shenanigans, we learn about how reclusive the baron has been, and between Brother Enoch and our charismatic paladin, the party manages to get inside the manor. It took some work, some sincerity, and some heavy leaning on magical skills, but we persuaded the baron to let us see if we can help his chronically ill sister. With the maid and the cook there, Ootah and Brother Enoch did a physical examination of the poor girl first - it was a very midwestern sort of world - and paused to discuss how to do a purification ritual, since there were signs the illness would just come back if they cleared her, trying to figure out what the root cause was. I put forth to my DM that since it had been established that those serving Fate see the Saloon as it is, Ootah had spent some of the time watching documentaries on the bar TVs. My DM agreed that was reasonable, and asked just what I was thinking. "I want to take a look at the room and see if anything pops out to Ootah as health hazards, since she's seen all those random documentaries." My DM laughed and nodded, asking me to make a few skill rolls to see what stood out to Ootah and Brother Enoch, and what they could remember to compare it to. Two eighteens and a crit later, we got a description of the room and how _splotchy_ and dark it was. Brother Enoch headed out of the bedroom to start setting up the purification ritual in the cleanest room of the manor. "Ootah's going to stand up, and wrap her cloak around the girl and hand her over to [the paladin] to take into another room. She's then wrapping a bandana over her nose and mouth and giving them to the cook and maid to do the same, and tell them to start getting all the furniture moved out and out into the yard to get cleaned thoroughly with soap and hot water." "The maid and cook look utterly confused, and start protesting the orders and the moving of their mistress, calling for the Baron." "Ootah doesn't wait for them to start talking before she starts thunderwaving the black mold off the walls, and she's going to blow out the outer wall if she has to, if it means getting this room clean as fast as possible." My DM was grinning from ear to ear describing how my character was utterly thorough in getting the infestation of black mold completely obliterated, and how much it scared the local crows to have the wall blown out. Turns out the poor girl was fighting off the side effects of black mold, and it was slowly killing her. Between Brother Enoch's ritual and Ootah terrifying the household into hardcore cleaning of the house, our paladin pitching in as a guard to help keep the town calm (as well as help the baron foster good-will by buying supplies there), we managed to avert the lynching.

The LGBTQ community has seen controversy regarding acceptance of different groups (bisexual and transgender individuals have sometimes been marginalized by the larger community), but the term LGBT has been a positive symbol of inclusion and reflects the embrace of different identities and that we’re stronger together and need each other. While there are differences, we all face many of the same challenges from broader society.

In the 1960′s, in wider society the meaning of the word gay transitioned from ‘happy’ or ‘carefree’ to predominantly mean ‘homosexual’ and was an umbrella term that meant anyone who wasn’t cisgender or heterosexual. The community embraced the word ‘gay’ as a mark of pride.

The modern fight for queer rights is considered to have begun with The Stonewall Riots in 1969 and was called the Gay Liberation Movement and the Gay Rights Movement.

The acronym GLB surfaced around this time to also include Lesbian and Bisexual people who felt “gay” wasn’t inclusive of their identities. 

Early in the gay rights movement, gay men were largely the ones running the show and there was a focus on men’s issues. Lesbians were unhappy that gay men dominated the leadership and ignored their needs and the feminist fight. As a result, lesbians tended to focus their attention on the Women’s Rights Movement which was happening at the same time. This dominance by gay men was seen as yet one more example of patriarchy and sexism. 

In the 1970′s, sexism and homophobia existed in more virulent forms and those biases against lesbians also made it hard for them to find their voices within women’s liberation movements. Betty Friedman, the founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), commented that lesbians were a “lavender menace” that threatened the political efficacy of the organization and of feminism and many women felt including lesbians was a detriment.

In the 80s and 90s, a huge portion of gay men were suffering from AIDS while the lesbian community was largely unaffected. Lesbians helped gay men with medical care and were a massive part of the activism surrounding the gay community and AIDS. This willingness to support gay men in their time of need sparked a closer, more supportive relationship between both groups, and the gay community became more receptive to feminist ideals and goals. 

Approaching the 1990′s it was clear that GLB referred to sexual identity and wasn’t inclusive of gender identity and T should be added, especially since trans activist have long been at the forefront of the community’s fight for rights and acceptance, from Stonewall onward. Some argued that T should not be added, but many gay, lesbian and bisexual people pointed out that they also transgress established gender norms and therefore the GLB acronym should include gender identities and they pushed to include T in the acronym. 

GLBT became LGBT as a way to honor the tremendous work the lesbian community did during the AIDS crisis. 

Towards the end of the 1990s and into the 2000s, movements took place to add additional letters to the acronym to recognize Intersex, Asexual, Aromantic, Agender, and others. As the acronym grew to LGBTIQ, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAA, many complained this was becoming unwieldy and started using a ‘+’ to show LGBT aren’t the only identities in the community and this became more common, whether as LGBT+ or LGBTQ+. 

In the 2010′s, the process of reclaiming the word “queer” that began in the 1980′s was largely accomplished. In the 2020′s the LGBTQ+ acronym is used less often as Queer is becoming the more common term to represent the community.
