Broke: accidently coming out to a new-ish friend at the club because you cannot keep a secret ever
Woke: that friend remembering and being the most respectful, affirming person ever at the next party

I meant to post this like a day or two ago, but here’s the Timmy and Tecna instalment of my little pride series
Timmy is asexual panromantic (ey/em/eir, he/him/his) and Tecna is non-binary (she/her/hers), asexual and demiromantic

when i was in high school the librarian used to let me pick out the new books that would get purchased and added every year. and basically what i'm saying is that 17 yr old me might be indirectly responsible for the very weak local chapter of moms against liberty that protests the books i chose

Okay I gotta just put this out there I don’t care. It is really tough finding a place for yourself in groups of people as an extremely white passing mixed race person especially when your family was ashamed of their culture and never taught you anything.
I feel stuck all of the time, I swear I’m just constantly seeking to belong in a group but none accept me. I see posts all of the time that are like “even if you weren’t raised in our culture but are from our race, yes including mixed race people, you are still one of us” but to me it’s just performative. I need to see that and feel that. I have been denied access to so many groups and clubs because I’m not black enough or not native enough. And I know that some people are like “why not just hang out with white people?” Because it’s not the same, I want to belong somewhere too, I still go through struggles, just not as many, but I’m outcast from white society as soon as they learn about me. The only other people that I can ever talk about this with are other mixed race people. I can barely talk about this with my siblings because both of them are obviously poc or mixed race…
This isn’t really to say anything about or to anyone, it’s just really frustrating feeling cast out from so many groups when it comes to talking about heritage and cultures. I have them!! I truly do but I can’t celebrate anything because I’m not “x” enough to belong, or I’m too much of “y”.

Re : PLL
I see what you mean! 🤔
Okay so, what if there was a trans character who was established as trans since the beginning whose story is not about her coming out and transitioning but rather about personal development? I’m thinking of Spencer specifically and how at the beginning it was clear that she was envious of her sister Melissa and would try to copy her or steal her boyfriends.
What if it was the same story except the character’s trans? Spencer would realize at some point that she needs to gain confidence and become her own person rather than trying to copy her sister, so she would develop her own style and start doing things her own way rather than stealing from her sister (Melissa’s essays, her boyfriends, etc.).
It would be the exact same character except that it’s casually mentioned that she takes hormones or something, y’know what I mean? 👀
Also I would love to see a badass trans girl being a Straight-A Student, the smartest one and a leader! 😭
Ooooh okay this I like!
Spencer is an interesting one from the friend group to pick because she exists in a very gendered and like, socially strict environment but she's not necessarily beholden to the same hyperfemme restrictions as Hanna, for example.
This also adds a neat dynamic to Spencer's plot of differentiation from Melissa because we still have the older sibling / younger sibling thing but through the lens of cultural expectations of femininity (for "old money" rich people) it becomes a more complex story. Also I may or may not have been a little bit in love with Spencer 💘

my mom and i were facetiming to talk over what she's bringing to my campus on fall break (to prepare for winter) and she was showing me these two hats i have (one that's white, one that's rainbow with tassels made by a family friend) and i said i wanted the rainbow one because it always gets funny compliments and she's like "yes it's also LG!" <- because she keeps forgetting the order of the LGBTQIA+ letters and doesn't like the word queer. but like... tears in my eyes. i love my mom. i love her so fucking much actually
