Okay just saw a post that was talking about how Steve would at least have an idea about bisexuality even if he didn’t know the name of it bc of pointing out Vickie could still like boobies thing

And I absolutely agree, I’m a Steve knew he like babes and dudebabes all along truther, BUT

Steve also could’ve known it was something Vickie could do, but not himself.

When I was a kid I knew trans women and drag queens, I spent more than a little time with them, and I still didn’t know you could be trans in the other direction until someone spelled it out for me. Obviously, that’s a bit different, but Steve could have the idea that, yeah, totally, Vickie’s a girl so Vickie could like both, because in his head it could just be different.

He grew up in a small town in Indiana in the 80s, it wouldn’t be that he was stupid, wouldn’t be a hit on his intelligence, it’d just be something he didn’t know and hadn’t had the chance or resources to learn about yet.

#steve harrington #listen!!!#i say this bc even the difference between the 2000s and now is astounding #like my fifth grade babysitter was a drag queen!!! I had a whole person right there was a trans girlfriend and the pieces still didn’t click #even though I already knew something was off with me I didn’t connect those dots and didn’t really know how to voice that #nowadays people have internet and library resources to figure this shit out way more than I did #and there just more visibility in general #and that’s just like a fifteen year jump #in the 80s? where before Rob Steve would’ve only heard the queer community talked about in slurs???#unless he went and found himself a community- a place that wasn’t biphobic too which is hard to come by even now #he wouldn’t know!#and that’s not a dig in him!!!#sorry I have… a lot of feelings #especially about this #pyreposting

You guys don’t know how much yearning for Baghdad takes up of my mental real estate

#I have so many videos saved of last year’s trip #Me and my cousin laughing and joking w my dad while getting ready #The fact that multiple men asked my dad for my hand in marriage (lmao)#Me calling my mom every night to make fun of my “suitors”#All the gorgeous restaurants #Forcing my dad to rate every dress I tried on whenever he took me somewhere #Being catcalled by guys was an unpleasant experience but it was still fun to laugh ab it w my mom #Me having a MASSIVE crush on a family friend #That one time my dad said all the dresses I brought were too short so he bought me a dress that #Went down to literally my ankles #But the family friend was gonna be there so I showed it to my mom and she was like #“You’d wear that??? The queen of mini skirts????” And then she IMMEDIATELY clocked me and was like #Ur behaving strangely. U must have a crush. Who is it.#The hot fuckin summer nights that I spent sitting outside w my cousin on the big swing in the garden #The capital when it was drenched in sunset #When my aunt’s husband took me to the University of Baghdad and I got to literally play act being a student there #Which was a profound experience bc it’s the university my mom went to #Sneaking into the library even though u needed a student pass for that (:#Shadowing my uncle in his laboratory #My first ever nishan !!!#No weddings sadly but I got to see the buildup to the wedding so #And I think getting to call the shots and fly solo from the states to Amman and then to Baghdad was sick as hell #My mom never let me fly abroad by myself before and now im probably gonna be going solo all the time #Help I need to go back #Bro I wish I could drop everything #But before I go to Baghdad I’ll probably have to go to Belgium first for my uncle #SO many stops before I get to where I rly wanna be #I never explicitly told my dad im not religious but I think he already knows im full of sin. Memories..#Omg and my bibi’s delicious food

I've seen a few posts about how if you were bookish as a kiddo, then you have an author with whom you have an irrational vendetta because of an English teacher. I keep trying to consider if I have one, but I don't think I do. I've definitely had English teachers I didn't respect, but I can't fathom taking them seriously enough to feel anything about their opinions on lit.

#i was very independently driven about my education and if a teacher was inept then i dismissed them and found my own means #in elementary school when the school librarians wouldnt let me check out books from the higher grade sections #i just went to the public library #collected what i wanted #and then brought them with me during the designated school library times instead #that's actually how i discovered edgar allen poe #even if i loved a teacher i didn't like. defer my education to them.#like i certainly had teachers i argued with or maliciously complied with or fucked with #but i didn't retain anything they had to say substantively if it wasn't worth listening to #the other side of this is once my beloved and very pregnant western civ teacher was like i can't do today can you teach the chapter #and then she took a nap at her desk while i taught the class off of her powerpoint #i'd already read the textbook a few times by then it was fun to force my classmates to listen to me go off and she made well structured ppt

Me going into this weekend: Well, it's time for the local anime convention, the one that I've been preparing for since December and worked super hard so I'd have lots of mage plushies in the store I sell them at downtown, all ready for excited anime fans to buy them!

This weekend: Protesters gridlock downtown on Saturday (aka, the Busy Day, aka the Profitable Day) because they can't handle the concept of a drag queen doing story time for kids at the library, someone escalates this to a very effective bomb threat that's fortunately fake but still forces local shops to close and the reading to be cancelled for the sake of safety, it pours rain, and is the coldest weekend we've had all month to boot. All the shops and the downtown farmer's market that brought in extra stock and produce in preparation for what is traditionally a very profitable weekend for local businesses due to exploring convention members are left in the lurch.

Me, now: (lying in my bed trying to console myself with humour) ...this did not go according to keikaku.*

*keikaku means plan

#my life #tw bomb #tw bomb mention #this weekend was supposed to hopefully net me the equivalent of a couple months of profit #instead two mages sold on Friday and I don't think anyone from con really went to the store the other two days #frustrated tears; I worked SO HARD to make sure there was plenty of stock for this weekend specifically #and extra sympathy for the farmers' market vendors who brought in extra food for the lunchtime crowd #which didn't come because cold wet weather + conservative protestors #also this wasn't some little phone-in bomb scare #a package was found at the library. a bomb squad with a dog was called in #the dog reacted to it in a 'we need to treat this as a threat' manner #and there was also a letter going 'yeah... this is ONE of the ones I've placed around downtown'#it was fortunately a fake out but it was still highly effective #and my parents got to learn all this after I was already downtown and there wasn't a good way to immediately retrieve me #it was Not a Good Day

#random personal stuff #coworker walks past my desk says something in passing #I don't hear it immediately because I have earbuds in to drown out the noise from other coworker #by the time I take them out and realize I was wished a happy Flag Day?#he had already gone to other coworker's desk #and I heard 'YOU AND I are the ONLY ones...'#and the earbuds went back in #I'm sure I'm probably an ignorant un American whatever-label-they-want-to-slap-on-me for not replying but I didn't hear in time!#(and I wish people would take notice of the wired earbuds before trying to talk to me)#anyway I'm trying to ignore things but the cliqueishness of these two does bother me #it seems worse now that we don't have a library director #do we really care about Flag Day or are we just trying to flaunt a worldview

It’s too hot to do much outside and I’ve done a bunch inside... I’m bored :/

#I already got sucked into a book my brother is reading (that I’ve read before)#and went down a theology rabbit hole (glad I did though I was really wondering about the thing)#ate some popcorn started my laundry went to the library #but now I’m... bored XD #rambles from the floor

I read 500 pages today. Five hundred.

What is wrong with me, why do I do this. Why can't I just enjoy books at a normal pace?

#lynx thinks #it is nearly 3 am and i am so tired #which is a good thing i guess considering how lwst night went for me #hopefully I'll actually be able to get to sleep and stay asleep #but for real... I've read half the book already and i just got it from the library today #why can't mr sanderson speed up the pace on these things i mean do they really need to be 1000+ pages each?#i would say that i havent done this kind of thing since i was in high school but that would be a lie #when i found SVSSS and MXTX's other works i went just as rabid reading them #I'm pretty sure i read all of TGCF in like a week bc it was in an online format and i had no way to know how much i was fucking reading #that work is multiple times the size of the bible and has very few words in common with it #absolutely unhinged behavior on my part tbh

what if Dean killed Charlie himself for helping Sam with the book of the damned instead of immediately telling Dean what was happening. what if he still told Sam it was his fault for putting Charlie in harm’s way (in this scenario, anywhere near Dean with the mark on him, despite her and Sam trying to remove said mark?) what if Dean had actually killed someone important to him who trusted him and loved him?

#he should literally also have just killed Cas as well and god should have brought Cas back. again.#that’s his favorite doll right there he can’t stay dead <3 Dean Winchester would be too sad about it #anyway. Sam mopping up the blood in the library scene but it’s not the Stynes #it’s Charlie’s blood and Charlie’s body and he’s cleaning up the mess and Dean tells him at her funeral that it should be Sam burning #and Sam gets to blame himself for it <3 #come on fellas if we have to fridge Charlie let’s at least give it some stakes #Dean already broke her shadow self’s arm and nearly killed her despite knowing he’d be killing the good Charlie too. what if he lost #control again. she went behind his back. Dean doesn’t react well to betrayal. and she’s Charlie! she’s supposed to be Good and Perfect!#she’s supposed to be like a little sister to him! and if dean were in his right mind he might deal with this okay #(like say. how he forgives Benny in that deleted scene for breaking and drinking from someone. when he sees Benny as a man and not the ideal #of a person who won’t ever mess up or betray him.)#but Dean is not in his right mind. and Charlie is the key to cracking the book. and he can’t let the book be cracked.#and she only came to him because she felt guilty. maybe something Rowena said dug too deep under her skin. and he’s dean! he’s still dean!#and she forgave him. (she couldn’t stay in that bunker another minute around him.) but she forgave him! he has to understand how important #it is to save him! just like he saved Sam! and Dean stands up. and you know. if this was really the show I’d still say we don’t get to see #what happens. we just get Sam mopping up the blood afterwards. that’s all.#I’m just saying. if she had to die. make it count.#spn #charlie bradbury #dean winchester

I feel simultaneously embarrassed and thrilled to be able to actually commit to doing a reading challenge that I put together

#i mean it burns me a little that my boss said hey i want us to do this thing lets talk about that later #and then out me off forever until I made EVERYTHING for it and then went on to inform the entire staff (after she approved)#but it's still ~our~ thing #worse still that it was an idea id already wanted to do lmfao #personal #library stuff

My parents had to go to a show so I had to mind Charlotte until her dad finished work and omg we watched so many episodes of bluey, like the pavlova, stickbird, musical statues, slide, TV shop, baby race, oh and a dragon episode and Charlotte was so scared of the dragon oh my god she's like slowly backing away from the TV and then freaked out when the dragon came to life and

#i would've liked to have watched the cricket episode but I'm pretty sure my mum would've already shown that to Charlotte #i mean most likely Charlotte has seen all of them #she probably knew exactly what would happen in the dragon episode #also earlier today my mum took Charlotte to the library and then they went to the supermarket across the road #and my mum went down the yoghurt aisle and got a tub of yoghurt but Charlotte cracked it because she wanted the bluey yoghurt and #completely normal child #i don't know how much she takes in for bluey but it's a very good show #I'd be like 'which episode do you want to watch now' and Charlotte pointed to the stickbird one and was like 'beach one!'#her parents took her onto the sand after Nana's 100th and the next day she asks 'does bluey go to the beach?'
