  • I’m sorry you have to go through this.
    I literally cannot comprehend any parent who won’t realize their child just wants to exist as they are.

    The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. (Can’t believe I’m quoting the fucking bible of all things, this one is often shortened and misused)

    Anyway, it means the bonds you choose to make, the bonds with those who have your back in times of hardship are so much stronger, deeper and meaningful than whatever lottery of being born into whichever family.
    I wish they’d come around, but in the meantime, build your covenant.
    It might be friends, other family or online folks, but there are people who will accept you as you are.
    Surround yourself with them whenever you can.
    Cut out those who don’t, it sucks, but if they can’t respect you for who you really are rather than their idea of you, that’s on them.
    You deserve better.

    The concept of family is nice and all that, but if they don’t have your back on this, they broke that social contract first.
    It’s hard enough on its own without having to debate your own existence to your own parents.

    For whatever that’s worth from a random stranger, I’m proud of you for setting boundaries.







  • I like chunkier scrollbars. Fuck the tiny disappearing scrollbars where you need to mouse over… somewhere… to maybe be graced with its presence, only for it to be 1px wide for some reason.
    Also fuck the endless scroll, especially when you already know what you’re looking for is on page 4 because you had to reload the page for some reason but the infinite scroll didn’t save your position and you have to go down (without an actual scrollbar) only to “load more” 3 times until you’re (maybe) on page 4.
