my principal was fired a few days ago for beating his wife. in the school parking lot. he broke her finger and she had to get surgery to fix it. i'm honestly not very surprised, but it's still like a wtf moment. the principal has never been good at his job, and he kinda just lets kids smoke anywhere they want, have sex in the gender neutral bathroom, and skip excessively (that last one i'm proof o... » Continue Reading
i went to a drowning pool concert in my town recently and i had the time of my life. i never anticipated the amount of rules that older metalheads had in place until i met a guy named gavin- the guy who helped me out. he explained how mosh pits worked to me and how the social climate was at shows. i wasn't exactly sober but the rules were simple enough. 1: weak people went to the front, up and aw... » Continue Reading
As I was heading to school today, I get multiple frantic texts from my friends telling me to not come to school, there was an active shooter threat in the building. I text my boyfriend and my friends, make sure they're safe, and turn back and go home. For twenty minutes I called the school, my friends who I didn't hear from, anyone I could reach.... and it was really scary. Turns out, it was a kid... » Continue Reading
The dreaded chromosome talk happened in my Biology class recently, and let me tell you, it was hard to sit through. It was as if everyone was staring at me, the only trans kid, during the whole thing. I will give some credit to my teacher for being delicate and explaining that gender is indeed backed up by biology, (although how I don't know,) but it still felt horrible. Gender is such a strange t... » Continue Reading
**spoiler warning** Adventure Time was and still is a fascinating experience. Finn and Jake's adventures through the land of Ooo is so fun to watch (even if the romance isn't the most appealing) and the show grows naturally over the span of its many seasons. You grow up with Finn, from his first childlike infatuation with Princess Bubblegum to losing Jake and his grief over his best friend. The Ic... » Continue Reading
Alternative subcultures are music based (and moral based when it comes to punk-based music.) It's hard for people to grasp that, somehow, and pointless discourse spins it's way back onto the more popular social media platforms every so often. For example, someone who wears perfectly normal clothes and doesn't dress up is just as alternative as someone who wears corpse paint and spikes- if they bot... » Continue Reading
I live in a mainly conservative state. The city I live in is fairly liberal and accepting, but I still get "f*ggot" and "t*nny" often in the hallways of my school. The recently established gender neutral bathroom is misused for cis couples having sex or smoking weed, and the sign on the door gets ripped off so often that it just says "girl" now. Romantic partners are only interested in you for the... » Continue Reading
**spoiler warning** Shameless has one of the most realistic gay couples that I have seen on TV (as of right now anyway) even if the show is a little absurd sometimes. It feels human, and with the mental illness and trauma that Ian and Mickey work through (even if it isn't the most healthy way to work through something with a partner.) With the inclusion of Trevor as well in the later seasons, and ... » Continue Reading
