heart-fools:

“At some point growing stopped being painful and started to become interesting. I’m so curious about the girl punching her way out of me: dirt under her fingernails, lightning in her eyes.
St. Jude has never been called upon to save her. She looks like she has smashed into starlight
and I am probably in love with her. I have always avoided knowledge of myself, documentation of my growth. I am not accomplished at looking back over myself like a sprawling landscape. There are certain things that I am aware I must have lived
through but I don’t remember the emergence of this girl. I couldn’t tell you what circumstances shaped her. Maybe none. Maybe she was just biding her time, like people so often do. I never know what she is going to do next;
the hair she will cut off without a moment’s thought, the notes she will leave behind in coffee shops wishing the barista a lovely day. She wants to read everything, know the story of how her parents fell in love, follow the lines of her blood back to the other side of the continent. She holds certain convictions firmly in her hand, like religion: you must always have a fresh bunch of flowers in your bedroom, you must allow yourself to outgrow and depart from certain eras of your life with a gentle sort of
ruthlessness, you must learn to recognise important poetry.
I follow her rules. I find that I like them. This girl of the earth, with her knowledge of full moons and fists full of survival stories, is going to change everything. ‘Don’t go,’ I tell her. ‘I will follow you anywhere.’”

— Girl of The Earth.

something that i despise that happens a lot in gay media is where gay character 1 cant come out to their family because of various reasons and gay character 2, who they’re usually in a long term relationship w/ at this point, says some shit like “youre ashamed of me…………..you wont even tell your family about us, about the fact you’re gay…………i dont think i can be in this relationship if you’re going to keep me……a secret…..” and its not called out as being manipulative/abusive as fuck like if someone says something like that to you, you need to get OUT of that relationship immediately

there’s also the trope where gay character’s friend gets mad at the gay character for not telling them they’re gay. like their fucking feelings matter more than the gay person’s safety and comfort. 

straight people really do not understand that we would never do/say these kinds of things to each other. ever. we know exactly how much these things hurt.

Two lesbian witches are about to take over your TV – and we’re so here for it.

A Discovery of Witches, which is coming to Sky 1 later this year, will feature Sarah Bishop, a powerful lesbian witch played by Doctor Who and Arrow star Alex Kingston. 

Together with her partner, another witch called Emily Mather, Sarah raises her niece Diana, teaching her how to use her powers to fight in a centuries-old struggle between supernatural beings.

I’ve grappled with doing this. I always felt these types of fundraisers were for people worse off than me. At this point though, I’m desperate. I don’t know what it will mean for me if I’m not able to have this surgery. Please spread this.
______________________________
______________________________

Hello my name is Nathan and I’m a 26 year old trans man who has been out since I was 17 and on testosterone since 19. I am very active in the Houston Trans and Gender Diverse community. I manage the Transgender Health Lab at my university and have been a part of the lab since 2015. That same year I began my involvement with Gender Infinity, a local non-profit. I now act as the Family Gathering Coordinator helping to organize large family support group meetings and I also work to help organize the Gender Infinity conference planning committee.  

Over the past 8 years, I’ve sought out top surgery at least 3 times. I’m now closer than I’ve ever been, it has been scheduled for   May 29th.  I have run into barrier after barrier.  Unfortunately I haven’t been able to come up with the money I need and I’ve now exhausted my loan options with no luck.  My mom is a public educator and my dad is a disabled veteran and minister. Though they are supportive of my transition, they are not able to help me financially. I was counting on us getting a loan so did not plan on creating a fundraising page, but this is my last chance to access the surgery I desperately need. 

As I am now 26, I will be uninsured at the end of this month, at which point the cost of surgery would go up by about $5,000.  I am trying to raise the money I need by   May 23rd so that I can access surgery before my insurance runs out . 

My current total now stands at $4,711 after the down payment I made of $867. Here is the breakdown of the costs: 

$1,023 is for the hospital fee 

$3,688 is for the surgery and anesthesia

Thank you for your support of my journey. 

This has gotten very little traffic here and donations have slowed.

I don’t understand why High School Musical 4 is going to get an entire new cast when all they had to do was set it at Chad and Ryan’s wedding

Sharpay – mellowed out some with age, still struggling to make it big, chronically single – insists she’s happy for Ryan but quickly devolves into her obligatory show-stopper about how she’s sick of waiting to meet someone who’s right for her. (Mostly the song entails Sharpay singing her ridiculously long laundry list of requirements while trying on bedazzled wedding dresses.)

There’s a running gag that Troy is supersupersuper late for the wedding. We may or may not ever actually see him, since Zac Efron didn’t even come to the damn ten year reunion and is apparently a huge party pooper. What we do see is Gabriella on the phone with him every fifteen minutes or so, urging him to hurry up. Eventually she decides that he’s obviously stuck in traffic because he doesn’t care about their friends enough and wonders if she should break up with him. Cue the obligatory once-a-movie Gabriella Is Sad song.

Taylor and Chad are SUPER amicable exes and she’s organizing the entire wedding with an iron fist. Chad and Ryan didn’t have to do anything. Kelsey is on piano. Zeke is baking their cake, obvs.

Troy is SUPPOSED TO BE Chad’s best man, but again, he’s supersupersuper late. At one point while Gabriella’s on the phone with him, Chad runs up behind her and yells “DUDE. GETCHA HEAD IN THE GAME” into the phone.

Sharpay elbows someone in the face to catch the bouquet when it gets thrown. Like, violently. It’s played for laughs, of course, but we all know that Kelsey/Jason/whoever should probably be in the hospital.

Assuming they can lock down Zefron, the movie will inevitably end up being about them. Troy proposed during the damn reception. Gabriella cries. Taylor and Kelsey are screaming. Sharpay is immediately trying to become Gabriella’s best friend and call dibs on being her maid of honor. Ryan looks affronted at this hijacking but nobody notices. 

tHE FUCKING WEDDING COLORS ARE WHITE AND RED JUST SO CHAD CAN SCREAM “WILDCATS” AS SOON AS HE’S DONE BEING PRONOUNCED RYAN’S LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND 

Sharpay and Zeke reconnect after that moment at the of HSM1 where they were a thing for like 10 seconds. Sharpay Learns a Valuable Lesson about how maybe you don’t need a guy who’s perfectly perfect in every way when you’ve got once who’s a total sweetheart and can bake like a mofo.

Ryan brings some girl he knows from Broadway who’s like his best dancer or something. She spends the entire wedding flirting with Kelsey and making her all flustered. Everyone is trying to get them together.

It ends with an elaborate musical number at the reception. Possibly there’s a self-aware joke about how Ryan emailed everyone the choreography for it months ago, so they all better know it by now. It probably turns into a reprise of We’re All In This Together and then I cry into my popcorn for 6 hours

~the end~

HOW DOES THIS HAVE SO MANY NOTES ARE Y’ALL SERIOUS

holy shit can this happen instead

Chad needs to smash faces with Ryan right after screaming WILDCATS and then they need to leave, come back, and their clothing is swapped!!!!!

I’m just surprised y’all can remember all of their names

bold of you to assume I’d forget any part of something as iconic as high school musical
