I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Don't you fucking dare compare TikTok to Vine. ITS NOT THE SAME THING

Vine went away cuz it couldn't afford to stay active

TikTok went away because congress RIPPED it away from us. It let to many activist groups connect faster than ever before; it let too many voices of dissent be heard louder than ever before; and most importantly it was more popular than Facebook, Twitter( cuz fuck that X bullshit), and instagram.

I understand losing both of these platforms hurt, I was alive for vine's death to. But don't let yourself be fooled into a falce equivalence.

Vine died

TikTok was murdered.

let's hear it for the nonbinary folks who:

don't present androgynously

use "binary" pronouns in any capacity

identify partially with a binary gender

have a "gendered" name

don't experience body dysmorphia

don't experience gender dysphoria

DO experience gender dysphoria/body dysmorphia but aren't sure what gender or body would suit them

just experience body/gender apathy instead

can't be open about their gender identity yet

you're all absolutely valid.

don't ever feel like you're "not nonbinary enough" because you absolutely are! 💖

I genuinely believe that some people could encounter a button that says “if you push this button everyone in the world has the opportunity to live a better life and your life remains exactly the same” and they would not push it.

They’d be like “well that button’s not fair to me, though,” even though there’s literally no other buttons around and nothing newly bad would happen to them if the button was pushed.

The Glow

It started with a hum,

a low vibration buried beneath everything else.

The air felt thinner,

the walls too close,

as if the room itself was shrinking

under the weight of something unseen.

Then, the flicker.

Not light, not exactly—

a pulse, an interruption in the dark,

shadows swimming on the edges of vision.

The television sat silent,

its screen empty but alive.

You wanted to look away,

but it was already too late.

It wasn’t fear at first,

just curiosity with sharp edges,

the strange pull of what you couldn’t explain.

And when the voices began,

they weren’t loud.

They whispered,

crackling through the static

like a secret meant only for you.

The glow stretched into you,

its fingers reaching

where nothing else could.

It knew your name.

It called it softly,

like an invitation

you didn’t remember accepting.

And after that,

you weren’t sure if the hum ever stopped,

if the light ever left.

You carried it with you,

a faint, buzzing thing

under your skin.
