if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

my first queer experience was when i was 17 and playing spin the bottle at a party and it landed on a girl. the thing is, the version we were all playing was a seven mins in heaven one rather than a simple kiss one.

the girl was all for it, i was not. i was in no way homophobic, or so i thought, at the time. my brother and aunt were both queer, so to me it had never been an issue. but the thought of a pretty girl being all game to kiss me in the closet of my best friends bedroom made my skin crawl.

spoiler alert: i had a big fat crush and didn’t know how to deal with it.

and so i panicked, and went into the closet. we both started talking at the same time. she let me go first, i rambled and thought i had really fucked up when she simply put a hand on my arm and asked if she could kiss me. i let her.

we are both now 24 and 25 and have been living with each other since last november. i still sometimes struggle with my internalised homophobia, but she’s there through it all and i’m so grateful for her. i’m going to ask her to marry me sometime this year :)

anon are you living in a fanfic because oh my god that is so sweet

Thinking about unitarian universalism... i know we all have our feelings on Christianity but I want you guys to hear me out here because I've been thinking about what I've learned almost all the time.

Unitarian Universalism is a sect of Christianity from Polish-Lithuania in response to both protestant and catholic establishments and a desire for true religious freedom and Primitive Christian Restoration (i.e. returning Christianity to what it was like at the actual biblical times, instead of agreeing with protestant governments or the catholic church.) Its ideas have changed over the past few centuries, but I'd like to share them with you because I find them fascinating.

They're incredibly far removed from what many Americans would associate the religion with. These ideas may be considered sacreligious or heretical by mainstream Christianity, but I find them to be great.

Hell isn't real and we're not doomed to go there when we die

The Original Sin did not happen, and all humans are not inherently born sinful

The "Holy Trinity" is not three entities; Jesus is the Son of God, but he is not the same as God, and does not have the same divine power

Jesus was a prophet first, and is the paragon of ethical behavior

All humans are born equal. All of them. God loves everyone equally. This includes nonbelievers, sinners, and ofc the LGBT

(Included in this is the fact that the UUA church openly supports LGBT people and considers homophobic and transphobia to be against God's wishes and design)

God's true form is indescribable to us, and each person has their own equally valid idea of who/what God is; they may even be male or female or nongendered, the only constant being that they are a "parental figure"

No religion ought to be prioritized over any other

Religion is covenant, and depicts more a community than a "correct" way of living

Humans have the freedom to act as they wish, as God intended; there is no determinism, and humans may be good or evil as they choose

Religious leaders ought to be chosen democratically

There is a goal of World Community; not everyone ought to be a Christian, but we should be able to coexist in peace and liberty

Respect for all aspects of the world and its interconnectedness; we are not just ourselves, but a single piece of the vast tapestry of existence

Science and reason can coexist with religion; it is not sacreligious to believe in ideas such as Evolution

And finally, all humans are inherently worthy and dignified as a principle.

Do I necessarily perfectly believe every single thing here? I don't know. I like most of it. I thought that it would be fun to share - I think we often get so wrapped up in online discourse that we forget what real people are like. And open-minded Unitarian Universalists are part of that. I don't know. I hope this did something for you.

almost none of the reasons why i support abortion rights have anything to do with babies. really it’s more about the fact that I think the government shouldn’t be able to force you to lend all your organs to someone else and change irreparably in the process. is a fetus a person? I don’t care! If it is a person, I don’t want anyone to be forced to host one against their will! If it isn’t a person, guess what? Nobody should be forced to host one against their will! What’s a soul? What’s a person? When does life begin? IRRELEVANT! A world in which the government can force anyone to manufacture an entirely new human body at the cost of their own is not a world I want to live in!

Just a reminder to all the demigirls: you are valid and beautiful.

Not super feminine? Still valid.

AFAB and feel like you're "just faking it for attention"? Nope. That's bullshit. Still valid.

Only a demigirl sometimes (genderfluid, genderflux, or something similar)? Still valid.

A demigirl in addition to being something else (multigender or something similar)? Still valid.

Don't use she/her pronouns? Still valid.

You may not be 100% girl, but that's totally fine, because you're forgetting that ur part girl, part ✨GODDESS✨

Demigirls are valid and awesome, and I will throat punch anyone who says otherwise. -ur local chaotic genderflux

I’m a teacher assistant for spanish grammar and the professor was explaining epícenos (single gendered words that encompass masculine and feminine beings) and he was using iguana as an example and he said: “there is only one gender… iguana” and i had to mute my microphone
