I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either
Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines
I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”
every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid

How can you talk about this movie without showing the fucking dinosaur
I could not be more sincere when I say I need to see this movie more than I need to see any other movie that has ever been made.
As someone who changed his name just for fun when I thought I was still cis, i promise most people are ok with accepting a new name, even if you lie and say it’s a nickname. I promise. It’s really easy to just casually go “hey I wanna go by Bob now, it’s an old nickname I wanna bring back” like. Just start introducing yourself to new ppl, no one knows better. and if someone accidentally deadnames you just go haha no I go by my nickname now.
It sucks that ppl treat nicknames as more sacred than trans ppls choice names but still.
If ur cis u can totally rb this to help ur fellow trans friends out thanks
I WILL GO ON A RAMPAGE DON’T YOU DARE DIMINISH HIS CHARACTER ONE MORE TIME
LOOK AT WHAT HE JUST WENT THROUGH
HE ALMOST LOST HIS DEAR FRIEND
HIS FRIEND WHO JUST SAVED HIS LIFE
AND RISKED EVERYTHING AND PRACTICALLY SINGLE HANDEDLY DEFEATED THE HUNS
AND NOW THE LAW SAYS HE HAS TO KILL THIS AMAZING PERSON
THE LAW HE WAS RAISED BY A MILITARY FAMILY AND SOCIETY TO HONOR AND RESPECT
THE LAW HE, AS A CAPTAIN OF THE ARMY, HAS PROMISED TO LIVE BY
AND IT IS SO INGRAINED IN HIM TO FOLLOW THAT LAW AND THE PUNISHMENT THAT COULD FOLLOW HIM REFUSING TO OBEY COULD BE SERIOUS
HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO BUT THIS ISN’T JUST ANY SOLDIER, IT’S HIS FRIEND, HIS HERO
HIS FRIEND, WHOM HE THOUGHT HE KNEW, WHOM HE TRUSTED WITH HIS LIFE, HE JUST FOUND OUT HAS BEEN LYING TO HIM THE ENTIRE TIME
HE’S NOT WHO HE SAID HE WAS, HE’S NOT EVEN A HE, AND HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO TRUST THIS PERSON ANYMORE
IT’S STUPID, BUT HE’S CONFLICTED, AND IT HURTS
AND YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU KNOW WHAT
DO YOU EVEN SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE IN THE SECOND GIF
HIS DAD JUST DIED
HIS FATHER DIED YESTERDAY
IN A BATTLE HE COULDN’T EVEN GET TO SOON ENOUGH TO HELP
THEN MULAN TELLS HIM JUST WHY SHE ENTERED THE WAR
TO SAVE HER DAD FROM DYING THE SAME WAY HIS DID
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN HIS FACE, HOW MUCH THAT GETS TO HIM
HE IS SO CONFLICTED OVER A MILLION THINGS HERE
DO YOU HONESTLY THINK A GAY SCARE WAS THE ONLY THING GOING THROUGH HIS MIND RIGHT NOW
DO YOU!?
AMEN
So many people miss this.
This man just lost his father dude and to know that she was doing all she did, breaking the law, to save her own father? How could he kill her? For doing something as honorable as sacrificing herself for her father? This movie is deep as fuck dude. Don’t diminish his character.
the symmetry of mulan breaking the law to save her father and him breaking the law to save her because he lost his father will always blow me away
Just my two cents, but if you want to watch “Happiest Season” (the KStew lesbian romcom on Hulu), and you’re not straight, I would highly recommend reading some reviews first. Or have someone watch it for you so they can tell you about it. Because like, I want there to be so many views of it because obvs it matters, but also you know how the trailers for The Family Stone made you think it was this adorbs romcom and it turned out to be super fucking depressing? This is that but with toxic relationships and a lot of repression that people shouldn’t have to deal with and everyone is going to bring their own experience into things, but for me, a lot of this is really hard to watch and I just don’t want anyone else to deal with anything more difficult than this year already is.
So yeah, just like, spoil yourself so you know if you should boost the views by actually watching it, or playing it on mute while you’re in the other room.
Here’s a write up about this at Buzzfeed (written by a lesbian woman):
warning there are major spoilers for the movie plot and the ending
Ok yep, this is exactly the type of article I wish I’d read before watching.
That review was…interesting
I’m kind of surprised anyone was expecting it to be an uncomplicated, fun comedy when half the plot is about not being out to your family? I’m a little bit pissed that our first Hallmark movie- a genre known for sugary sweetness -had to be a coming-out story, but I never thought I was signing up for a completely happy movie here.
(Also the reviewer calling the ending “not very queer” because they get engaged made me want to punch something. I HATE when people act like queerness is defined by lifestyle rather than gender identity or attraction. Especially the idea that committed monogamous relationships/marriages are inherently Less Queer. Anyone who is LGBT is queer. Their relationships and stories are queer. Period, no matter what, end of discussion.)
