reporting live from TikTok: gaylor content is still going strong !!!

my favorite Gen Z quirk is having a chat communication when we are both actively present and sending voice memos back and forth so there’s like some sort of delay but at the same time no pressure a phone call would provide

surprised to know that Lucky Wishbone has a wiki page

the biggest highlight of my year so far is absolutely personal growth even though i can say i’ve been having an insane momentum in other areas of life. the person you’re alone with when it’s just you is always going to be there. making peace + healing is the best thing you could ever do for yourself

you know how people say like “there’s no christmas spirit this year” I feel this way about Halloween this year :// but it’s probably because i’m just too busy

it’s been about a year since i read a study that said that Slavic speakers of English tend to overuse perfect tenses because English lacks the perfective aspect otherwise and it’s been HAUNTING ME

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

i gave my mom explicit permission/encouragement to bring myself up as her oldest being trans and she is already reporting back about a conversation she’s had with a parent of a kid who’s thinking about transitioning 🔅🔆 sending an ocean of love and solidarity to all queer and trans people in texas

- what grade do you teach? - the magical grade that is somewhere between pre-, post-, and secondary

the one subcategory for slapping on commons is certainly very interesting

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.
