god ok a few years back i had this friend who was like. an influencer. like a legitimate instagram influencer. paid promotions from makeup companies type. and we were talking and she was like wait how many tumblr followers do you have and i was like uhhhhhh 4k and she was like ooooo you should start doing advertisements on there get yourself some money. and i just quietly sat with the realization that we were two very, very different people
Here’s a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was there.
Basically, we were walking down the sidewalk, talking about something meaningless. I think it had to do with a movie. Then this bus screeches up, stops next to us, and a bunch of people with “Down with Cis” shirts climbed out and started beating him up. I was punched and kicked a bit too, but I managed to avoid brutalization by going for their faces. After figuring out what’s happening, I started attacking them back, getting them off of him. He was quite injured but I called 911 and he made a full recovery at the hospital. I was fine, with only a cut on my arm that they patched up.
