when i was younger the way i felt about girls kissing was different. it made me uncomfortable, like i knew i shouldn’t hear my own heart skip. i remember watching boys kiss girls on tv and teaching myself “this is all i have”. i’m 24 and i still feel guilty when i think about how much i like girls. i hid it and hated it and i’m not even out to half of my friends. i couldn’t figure out why i felt certain things. i wrecked myself over it, made it hard for me to be in longterm relationships, made it hard to love without feeling like i’m doing the wrong thing.
but yesterday i was teaching a group of second graders.
“i think i want a girlfriend,” she said to me. when a boy squawked “a girlfriend!” the other kids stood up for her instantly. “it’s normal!” “it’s okay if some people want different things.” “yeah, not everybody needs to like boys.”
the boy shook his head and stared at me. “i don’t care it’s a girl” he said, with his hands in the air, “but we don’t even pay taxes, how is she thinking of getting married?”
“miss raquel,” she asked, “why does it look like you’re crying?”
::whispers “we don’t even pay
taxes” to self::
I had a little girl the other day ask me to draw her a princess… I did and she gleamed and said, “I love her I want to marry her!” Her mother looked over and said, “you two would look adorable together,” and I’m honestly just so happy and it warms my heart how open-minded the next generation of children are. Parents are slaying these days.

im watching spongebob squarepants and havin a lot of trouble figuring out if this episode is deliberately gay or if it was purely accidental that they made an episode where squidward develops a full-on crush on his new neighbour because they both play wind instruments
omg they’re painting pictures of each other….need me a freak like that
fellas is it gay to admire another fish’s interior decoration 🤔
this is more dramatic than the entirety of the fault in our stars
Someone spilled their dunkin donuts coffee in the school lobby so this kid got out his dunkin donuts uniform and started directing traffic around it saying things like “Ma’am watch out, this is a DUNKIN DONUTS MATTER”
when a security guard walked up to him to ask what he was doing the kid told him to stand back he was just doing his job
it’s actually inverted out of respect!! - plimbko the elf requested to be hanged from an upside down tree because he felt himself unworthy of a death in the same manner as santa
This is the scariest addition to a post I think I’ve ever seen
