it’s on all of us to make the world better and safer

so that those of us who can’t come out now hopefully can someday, and join us in the sunlight

But nobody gets to tell you how to come out! Nobody gets to tell you when to come out, or if you have to come out at all.
I believe in the depths of my heart that we owe it to ourselves, and to each other, to be out and living as our true selves... but only if it is safe and the right time for us to do so. The sad reality is that, for some people, it will never be safe or the right time due to outside factors in their lives.
We should not be angry at those people. Imagine how difficult that must be, and the suffering they're going through. I know several people stuck in that situation, who can only be themselves online or anonymously. I know the pain they're in.

I think the wheels make it much more difficult 😅 but also more fun so it’s a trade off

🦇 Killy Witches 🎃👻 @tillybridges.bsky.social · 14h

I don’t think it’s AS intense as TV Glow is, but it also doesn’t have a hopeful ending. It’s more… ambiguous, where TV Glow is very clear if you pay close attention

Jane said making WF is what cracked their egg, so TVG is more intentional in its exploration, whereas WF is maybe more subconscious

🦇 Killy Witches 🎃👻 @tillybridges.bsky.social · 14h

oh! i’m the Tilly mentioned in the link! 🤗

we had an excellent discussion about the (you guessed it) very trans movie We’re All Going to the World’s Fair!

it shares a lot of DNA with Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow, and is also an examination of the horrors of gender dysphoria

give ‘er a listen!

yes sure doing a ton of squats is great for building leg strength for roller derby

but have you considered sometimes you still need to stand up from sitting in a chair and this simple task will now be agonizing?

heed my warning

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

tonight’s birthday pineapple reminds you

every single day on this earth is precious because it’s a chance

to be better
to love each other
to help each other
to protect each other
to fight for each other

we only get one shot at life
make it count for something
and love with all you’ve got
🩷🍍🩷

Me in a Wonder Woman pajama tank top and pink heart shaped glasses, with my long brown curly hair up in a pineapple swirling gently down the right side of my face

if they’re going to treat you like that, for wanting to live an authentic life free from pain, they’re showing you that their love is conditional, and that’s not really love

you deserve better 🫂
