Whaaaat's Gibby Thinkin' About?

The correct answer to "would you rather be poor and in love or rich in a loveless marriage" is "in love, obviously" but I think I'd much rather be financially secure. Being in a loveless marriage doesn't mean you HAVE to be unhappy. You can just go about your business and do other things that make you happy that don't have to do with them. They can just be a roommate with tax benefits. You don't even have to have an open marriage. You can be single and happy and financially stable and have a roommate. That's just what it is. Marriage is fake

I mean. Solid ngl.
Cept for the marriage is fake which is mildly confusing. But yeah not all marriage needs to be based on romantic love

Marriage is just a thing the government made up

Marriage was invented

It's just a thing that people were like "hey what if it was harder for the person I'm in a relationship with to abandon me?" and their governments were like "yeah okay that sounds cool also what would you say if it cost a whole bunch to get married in a whole bunch of years and then we can build society around it even though it's not at all necessary and is just a useless thing we came up with, you're cool with that right"

Yeah, colleges are really bad about housing for non cis individuals and it's really upsetting.
My school doesnt even have gender inclusive housing, but there are several student orgs rallying behind it.
But the way they put trans students with their gender assigned at birth is pretty gross.
I remember freshman year at my college all freshman dorms were separated into boys and girls, even by hallway or floor. And there were a few trans students, who all had to live together in a separate (supposedly very haunted) room on the top floor, isolated from the other students. Sounds crazy, but I literally saw it for myself because one of my friends lived up there.
Basically from then on out you end up having to find other queers with the same gender assigned at birth as you and it sucks so much.
Anyway, hard agree on the transphobia there. You don't simply "run out" of inclusive housing. Fuck you.

Exfundie tiktok is maybe one of the most comforting places

Just realizing how transphobic Linn's college is for "running out" of gender inclusive housing?? That's a huge trans rights issue. They wouldn't run out or limit men's or women's housing. Don't have room for your trans students? FUCKING MAKE SOME. Also the way they made you apply? Do you have to justify your cis gender when applying for men's or women's housing?
Man if it were me I would not be calm about this. I'm not a boy or a girl. Don't PUT ME with boys or girls, for their sake and mine. It's embarrassing and I'm sorry you have to go through that Linn. I hope your roommate is chill.

You said it, I didn't. Although you're right. I have told my roommate that I prefer [insert gender neutral name here] and I've put that and my pronouns on my job thingy. Gonna try to set up an appointment with someone to officially come out on all the school stuff and give the staff my preferred name. Which'll be hard because I get my id while my parents are still there
But you know, I can mostly be socially out and that's pretty okay, at least to start

Hot take: restricting alcohol sales on Sundays is a really dumb and outdated law. You can try to excuse it with public health reasons to keep said laws around, but it's really a purely religious motive behind it.
Like listen. I just wanted some wine to have a glass with dinner tonight/cook with.

my roommate seems to be an e-girl, which I'm hoping means she's not homophobic

No, I'm gonna wait on that until later or until she asks

it's very clear that neither of us want to keep talking, but she keeps asking questions
ma'am I know you don't care about what my favorite tv show is, you don't have to keep being polite

Great, now she wants to know why I don't like loud noises. Do I leave out the trauma and just say anxiety or should I go for a double whammy?

Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry, that’s horrible. I can’t imagine the kind of stress that must have caused, for both you and her. Praying that everything turns out all right 🙏🏻

Thanks ❤️ I got to go see her a little while ago and she seems to be doing alright. The vet seems to be pretty happy with how her recovery has gone so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things continue to go that way.

"Sensory issues and a little bit of ✨trauma lmfao"
"Ah okay. I understand:)"
What..does this mean?

Thinking about how a picture book about gay penguins was the fourth most banned book between between 2000 and 2009

thinking about how much I love the Undertale soundtrack

Girl help I can't stop sleeping
