That’s the face you make when you’re the product of a democratic socialist utopian culture where the very concept of currency no longer exists and they’re still somehow not paying you enough to deal with this shite.
Scotty experiences a microagression and momentarily contemplates the potential political and diplomatic ramifications of murdering the only Vulcan on board a Starfleet flagship - 2256, colourised.
So there’s this huge dudebro in my class, who, yesterday, sat next to me. And I’m sitting there sweating because like… I’m wearing my shirt with the lesbian flag on it, and he’s the most popular jock in school, and always has this look on his face that say ‘I can and will kill you’. He looks me up and down, stares at me for a minute and then goes, “So. Girls in skirts and long socks, am I right?”
To which I nodded solemnly, both out of agreement, surprise and also a healthy amount of awkward fear. He nodded and went, “You get it.”
I said, “Yep.” He fistbumped me, and on went our lives.
Oh! I forgot to mention! I saw him at lunch the same day, and he ran up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, pointed at this super sweet girl who comes to GSA and asked if she’s gay. I told him he should ask her because that’s not my place and he said he would.
I thought that would be the end of it.
Except ten minutes later he came back and told me he found out (she’s bi) and that both of us have a shot. I said “You more than me.” because he’s attractive and popular.
But this wholesome dumbass looked really confused and asked, “Because I’m tall?’
So this isn’t lesbian/jock solidarity but I thought you guys would want to know-
My math teacher was trying to fix the rolling whiteboard and he just offhand said “This would be easier with a wrench”
And deadass, dudebro said “Hang on” and then proceeded to pull a fucking wrench out of his backpack
Update- after school today he saw me in the library and he didn’t say anything? He just pointed at the book he was holding and I gave him a thumbs up because it’s a pretty good book, and he went “Yes!” Really quiet and pumped his fist and then left
Okay so today he asked me if I know how to help people having a panic attack and I was like yeah? And he smiled at me and then went “cool I think I’m having one”
And I was like what the fuck Colin we’re in the middle of Tech class sit down and we went out in the hall and sat there for a while and he told me about the test he’s stressed about so we kind of went over his study guide and when he was feeling better he kind of like… smacked his head against mine gently? And I helped him up even though he’s almost a foot taller than me and yeah
Today at lunch we walked to the football field and laid in the grass and I told him thank you for being my friend (because I don’t have that many) and fistbumped me and said, “You always looked so nice and chill, how could I not want to be your friend?”
And honestly y’all, I would’ve started crying if he hadn’t sneezed and accidentally smacked me
I’d forgotten about this post - reblogging again cause it made me smile :D
The Klingon word for what humans call ‘transgender’ roughly translates as “soul warrior”.
Like every other thing in Klingon culure, there’s a ritual and rite of passage for transition, which comes in two parts: the first is all blood and pain, where the Klingon in question symbiolically kills their ‘old self’ and the second part is where the ‘true self’ is introduced and welcomed to the family and community and given a new name.
These Klingon warriors are honoured for the courage it takes to look inside yourself and recognise the truth about who you are, and are often respected members of their families. And though modern transition surgeries are often undertaken by these Klingons, they’re not necessary for the rite of passage ritual, which has been around for centuries.
everyone’s talking about digimon again and i remembered the first time my favorite digivolution showed up all those years ago [i’ve always been gay af wow]
also guest appearance by my loving and incredibly straight brother
Holy fuck, I’ve just realised…
…Angemon was my gay awakening.
How did I not realise this before? I mean, the long gold hair, the muscles, the artful ribbons, wielding a powerful rod, protecting over you like a guardian angel…
