I’m headed out to Indiana tomorrow, and I start work on Monday! I am…incredibly nervous…
What if I get lost in the city?
What if I can’t make friends?
WHAT IF I CAN’T COOK AND EAT OATMEAL ALL THE TIME oh god oh god
i wish someone loved me the way Jay Gatsby loves Daisy
NO YOU DON’T
Dear Scarlet,
About a month ago you asked if you could have a “circle mohawk” again. I told you to think about it because you’ve been growing your hair out for so long and I didn’t want you to regret it. On Sunday night I told you I had a hair appointment with Allison the next day. You asked if you could get your hair cut like that again, but you were laying down for bed and not supposed to be talking so I ignored you. The next day you asked twice, so I finally said I didn’t care and that you look beautiful whatever you decide. The last time your hair was like this you weren’t in school yet, I was so nervous about kids being cruel. I walked you to school on Tuesday morning and stayed awhile to make sure everything was going to go smoothly, which it did. When I picked you up you said, “Olivia liked my hair. She said she didn’t want her hair like this, but she liked mine like this. And we’re still friends. That’ just like how I don’t want to have purple hair like Allison, but I love Allison’s purple hair. You don’t have to have all the same stuff as your friends.” Wise beyond your years, baby child. I’m so proud of you and how you have the courage to be exactly who you want to be, despite any other outside influences. While we’re on the topic of gender, when I was at parent teacher conferences a few months ago a mom of this little boy approached me. She told me how he wanted to paint his nails and go to school. She let him. When he came home he said, “Scarlet loved my nails, Mom!” I’ve never been so proud.
Congratulations to Minnesota for passing same-sex marriage in the House and Senate this week. Governor Dayton will sign the law later, and make same-sex marriages legal starting August 1st. Marriage equality for everybody!
So happy to be from MN!
#His face here practically makes me cry #This is David Tennant okay - David. Tennant. #He’s been in a billion shows and movies and the opinion of one person shouldn’t really matter considering how famous and well-known he is #But it does - you can tell in his face #That he is obviously completely and utterly touched by this caller #He’s literally overcome by emotions and can’t even get the words out #After all this time after all these fans and shows and everything #He is still so humble and down-to-earth and just such a perfect person #And his face just kills me #Because as famous as he is #The fact that he still feels so strongly about his ability to touch people’s lives #Is just the most precious thing about him #He really feels like he’s just a normal guy living an extraordinary life #And I find that to be completely amazing #Many tend to lose themselves when they get famous #But David Tennant is always just himself #and he is brilliant (via winterinthetardis)
ALL OF THIS.
And the fact that in the deepest, most personal corners of his heart, David’s eight-year-old self is SOBBING WITH JOY that children are looking at him and calling him the “best Doctor,” because being the Doctor was something he’s wanted so badly for so long.
#I have a lot of David Tennant feelings #That don’t necessarily just relate to the adorableness of his face #Because all of him is adorable #his heart and his personality and his good nature #I am genuinely thoroughly happy for him that he’s doing what he loves and making a good living at it #He’s found a woman he loves and has a family #Because he’s such a lovely person #And it’s awesome when lovely things happen to lovely people
GOD, THIS TOO^^
Love to go crazy over his stupid hair and his stupid smile and his stupid face with its stupid freckles and his stupid chocolate brown eyes with stupid crinkles and his stupid bottom lip and his stupid neck and his stupid hands with stupidly long fingers and stupid narrow hips and stupid lanky frame
But
He’s such a good person too with so many admirable qualities to his personality and I. Just. Can’t.
all. of. this.
Words cannot explain my love for this man.
People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
