for me, the worst part of being a gray-sexual person is that I desire sex so rarely that when it does happen, it’s mostly just extremely confusing

so I may not be at the end of my grad school career after all.
the same guy who let me tech in his lab exactly a year ago is letting me do a summer rotation, and maybe do my thesis work there.
he does cool, important things with yeast.
he’s super, super good at science, but he’s also pretty…
yay!
yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
100% of the encounters I've had with my neighbor have been weird and it's because I am really weird.
- 1: this winter, I was sitting on one of our potting containers smoking a cigarette and staring at thing. he walks by and says "hey". I think I just blinked at him.
- 2: he comes to the door and talks to N about our internet. I stare at him silently the entire time, while wearing an oversized sweater and no pants. I was also holding a cat.
- 3: he comes over to say hi while I'm gardening in the backyard. I tell him my theory about the murderous hobo who lives in our basement, and when he can't remember my name I suggest that he call me "Cat-lin" because I have a lot of cats.I am also not wearing pants or shoes.
- 4: he stops by the apartment to pay us his portion of the internet bill. when he comes to the door, N is huddled in a blanket on the kitchen floor and I am wearing a silk robe and nothing else. he says "I thought I had money but I don't have money I'LL COME BACK LATER I'M SORRY."
A Muslim sister on her way to college was refused entry by two men from boarding on a bus. To add to that, this woman was wearing a niqaab, which these two bigoted, heartless ‘men’ had the audacity to forcefully remove.
I ask Allaah to protect our sisters, daughters and our mothers from the evil of wrongdoers, even if we ourselves have failed to do so, so many times.
Gin and tonics are really good, fuck you.
This is an old family picture.
My family does not support my being in the LGBTQIA community. They actually are opposed to it. They tell me every day that its disgusting and that it’s sinful and I’ll go to hell for liking women.
I moved out when I was seventeen, and in January I moved back in with them because I couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Every day one of my five siblings tells me to go back to Minnesota. My little brother Charlie (the black baby in the picture) is now 8 and he constantly physically attacks me and tells me that I’m not his sister and to leave. My other siblings make it very obvious and clear that they don’t want me here and my parents tell me constantly that they’re gonna kick me out soon.
I’ve been saving every penny for a bus ticket to Oregon to stay with my best friend and today I found this picture in my sisters’ room ON DISPLAY. Not hidden. On display. They cut my face out of the picture.And that… That was just the last straw.
I don’t care if anyone reblogs this or whatever, I don’t wanna get popular, I just want people to know that this is not what a family looks like. This is not something people should have to go through.This is no life.
