if we imagine for a moment that there might be cosmic purposes behind things that happen, which i haven’t solidified my opinion on and probably never will, i think me being born trans wasnt a mistake. i would certainly rather be cis, but i also think that if id been born cis i would be a completely unrecognizable person right now. being trans, coming out, facing my transition alone, asserting and proving myself, has given me so much courage and strength and empathy and persistence. i hate not being a cis man but i also cant disregard the gifts i’ve received from my transness, and the fact that it’s shown me how much im capable of.

“i think it’s important that overwatch league is global and not region locked” just gender locked.

imagine how mad men would be if there was a parity rule, at least 50% of your team must be women. they’d be so angry if they had to compete with women to get into the teams.

imagine if any misogyny from viewers and players was a bannable offence in competitive and women felt safe enough to compete.

If you think all Black people’s blogs are “social justice” blogs, you’re racist.

I read some newspaper article recently that pretty much summed up Tumblr and the responses to it this way—privileged people who come here are shocked to see marginalized people talking about their experiences, so they think everyone’s just obsessed with social justice, rather than talking about their own lives.

this is really important.

honestly i went into shock the first time i listened to a mountain goats song and discovered that you were all listening to a dude managing to both sing and whisper at the same time while his mate clinks together some empty cans in the background. what the fuck
