As A Rule Of Thumb I Never Listen To Men Who Call Women Females

as a rule of thumb i never listen to men who call women females

i think one of the most important things i’ve learned this last year is how labels are supposed to accommodate and describe us rather than act as strict parameters for who we allow ourselves to be (this applies to pretty much every type of label but i’m more specifically talking abt sexuality here).

for me, the term bisexual best describes my sexuality so it’s what i use. if in the future i realise it’s not a good fit anymore i can just stop using it and either be label-less or find a different one. changing labels doesn’t invalidate the feelings and experiences i’ve had, it just shows i’ve learnt more about myself as a person. it doesn’t mean i lied abt being bi either, just that i’ve figured out it’s not quite who i am.

realising this has made me so much more comfortable about calling myself bi, bc for a long time when i was questioning i was so scared that i was lying bc i didn’t feel i had enough ‘proof’ that this was a term i could use. but it’s not me that has to squeeze myself into the box i think i need to be in, but instead just living and trying new things and if i feel like i’ve found a place for myself i can stay for as long as it feels right - whether that be for good or not.

The narrative neurotypicals give about the mentally ill is so warped like how many times have you heard “If Van Gogh took medication, we wouldn’t have Starry Night,” and he literally painted that one on meds in a mental ward.

just messaged my crush and told him i liked him and now my adrenaline has peaked and im using it to get thru my revision slump haha

hfgvg i finish school on friday and i think i might cry

like i’ve spent six years in this place and u expect me not to come back next september?? i’m just supposed to go to uni and probably never see these ppl again?

wack

i can’t stop thinking abt that brooklyn 99 episode when jake is SO sure that a suspect killed the victim that he arrests them without any proof.

in the end obviously he’s right but what if he hadn’t been? would he have made up evidence bc he was so sure of his hunch? would he have continues to harass this man until he was sued? would he have done everything in his power to make this man’s life harder bc he’s so sure he’s the perpetrator he’s looking for?

it kind of horrifies me that jake is clearly the hero in this story and it’s supposed to be funny that he abused his power as a police officer to ‘get the job done’ and we as the audience are supposed to accept that
