Is That You In The Pictures?

Is that you in the pictures?

Um.. no

Some of them are my friends, (photos I took) some are just images from stock-sites edited by me

Government: work from home

me: works 10 hours a day

also me: feels intensely unaccomplished

Let's be real; sometimes the flags and labels get confusing. This can be true for anyone, queer, or cishet, new to it, or a rainbow-veteran. And that's okay. I as a queer person am not obligated to know everything about gay subculture, it's imagery and language. More than that, no queer person should be expected to educate others about these matters. When they choose to do so, however, I advise you listen, even, no, especially where your views may differ. There is no absolute truth to these things in our quickly changing world. It is up to people themselves to choose the words they describe themselves with, and the imagery they feel best represents them. These things exist FOR them. For all of us, to communicate easier and feel safer, and more comfortable in our communities & our own skins. Not knowing the meaning of each slang word and color combination does not make anyone less valid. Using labels, and possibly changing them along the way to better fit, is good. Using a label that you feel describes you, even if someone disagrees, is okay. Choosing not to use labels at all is okay. These words are tools and you may use them however they best serve you. THAT IS THEIR PURPOSE.

A thing about college is, when you write to a professor at 2am on a Sunday they might reply instantly & I don't think I'm good with that

This election is one of the most important political events of the century. You're not just voting for yourself, your circle, your state, or even your country -you're voting for the entire world. America needs someone who represents the true majority, someone who'll do their job not just as a figure, but a doer. Someone, who'll take responsibility over matters.

The US president is a very influential person. The next to carry that title will have incredible control over a lot of important issues in the coming year alone.

Please, use your heads, use your voices and most importantly, use your votes, 'cause you can & we're counting on you to make a wise decision.
