Hot take, but cis people have gender identities. They aren't the gender they identify as because of their genitalia or what their birth certificate says. They're only cis because they identify with a gender and it happens to match their government documentation. Cis men aren't men because they're "obviously" men for having a penis. They're men because they identify as men. It's the self-identification that dictates this, not any other factor, even for cis folks. And we should be framing it this way. A cis man identifies as a man and a cis woman identifies as a woman. There is no automatic or inherent gender.

Life is made of these moments when you feel alive

• Running around in the rain.

• Being in a live concert when everyone sings along with their favorite artist or band.

• The night before you’re about to travel.

• Swimming in the sea at night.

• Reading a breathtaking book—the kind you don’t want to end.

• After a long week, spending a Friday evening with friends—nicely drunk, talking, laughing—and then coming home to a peaceful sleep.

• Driving with the windows down.

• Writing something of your heart.

• Sleeping with the windows open.

Because Catholicism and by extension Christianity are so big and normal I don't think a lot of people consider how strange the Vatican is just conceptually. Like yeah in the capital of a long-dead empire there's an opulent temple district that acts as it's own sovereign nation, still speaking the dead language of that empire for their rituals, ruled by a prophet-king chosen by a secret conclave of the high priesthood. Yeah his followers eat a lot of fish in the spring.

i genuinely don’t think most of y’all realize how “i hate humanity, we’re inherently evil and irredeemable” is 1) some puritan bullshit and 2) actively damaging to literally any activism you partake in

seeing mutuals younger than you discover blorbos you've already known and chewed on is like watching a newborn lamb discover that it can frolic with it's friends it's beautiful and soon i will drop the Lore that i was there during a big event and their eyes will light up as if the little lamb has just sniffed its first dandelion

ah yes, my favourite foreign language feel, “I know what all of those words mean individually but not together like that”
