I know I told this story before but last year I was having complications with a surgery and I just broke down in a public place and I was trying to gather myself, sitting and leaning on a wall when this girl in cowboy boots approached me and sat down and she asked what was wrong and I told her it was medical issues and she said “I understand, I have to have my foot amputated next week” and it shocked me out of crying and I was like “wow that sucks!” And she said “yeah.” And then she just touched my arm so tenderly and told me “I promise you that this problem will have its place, and everything is going to work out.” And the way she said it just made me really believe her. She said. “We’re just gonna have to cowgirl up.” And then she stood up and walked away and I’d call that a genuine encounter with an angel but the truth is there is a lot of goodness right here on earth in humanity and it’s shining and pure.

mayhaps completely decontextualizing ‘we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it’ into an every day slogan completely removed from its meaning of ‘no matter what you do, you cannot kill us all, we will survive and thrive in spite of all of the odds because we are strong and stand in solidarity with one another’ was a mistake

especially since so many assholes are using it against other lgbt people who feel uncomfortable with the word queer which is like… the literal opposite of its original usage

‘queer’ was chosen BECAUSE it is uncomfortable and jarring, so to turn around and say ‘I’M HERE, I’M QUEER’ against lgbt people who are just saying ‘it’s a slur, please don’t apply it to me or use it around me’ is so fucked

If you’re ever bored, here’s a list of Studio Ghibli films you can watch for free.
