Why Do People Except Me To Be Upset When I'm Told I'm Scary Or Creepy Or Weird, I Think It's Funny As

i have a headcannon that darry dies of AIDS in the 80s, because after sodapop and ponyboy left, during the 70s, darry would go up to new york for a week-a few months and would meet a guy (or a few guys) and sleep with them due to him having a lack of intimacy in tulsa because there was no obvious queer community. fast forward a few years (around 81-84) darry gets sick and figures out he has HIV and doesn’t tell anyone or try to get treated (not that there were many effective treatments in the first place) because of the shame he felt. he wouldn’t even tell his brothers. eventually it would develop into AIDS and darry would go back to new york to go to the hospital to live his last days out alone. in this time he’d get in touch with everyone, not to tell them of his impending doom, but to be able to have a connection with them before he passed. the last calls he made were to his brothers.

IM SO SORE RN WHAT THE HELL

Hi there,

I’m reaching out with a quiet hope in my heart. These days are heavy, and my family is living through a reality filled with uncertainty—but I’m still here, doing my best to hold on and keep going.

If you have a moment, please check out my pinned post.

A simple share could help it reach someone who might be able to make a difference.

If you’re able to give, even the smallest kindness can bring light into the darkest places.

Your time, your voice, your compassion — it all matters more than you know.

With deep gratitude,

@nadinfamily

Important!!

gods, I don't have a life outside of the internet, man

Even if you think Teruko is 20+, it's still disgusting to ship her with ppl btw!

What do I even do in a rlly low period of my mental health, sleep?????? Thats my only coping mechanism other than bottling things up and the thing we shall not name.

Happy trans visibility day!!

I'd like to tell you all something today:

Your gender identity is valid, no matter what labels you use. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin. You deserved to be loved. Your more than whatever labels you use or whatever pronouns you're comfortable with it.

I'd also like to take a moment to remember and honor those we've lost as a community. Those murdered for their identities and their activism. Those who committed suicide due to a lack of acceptance. Those of our past who experienced the sad yet universal injustice of being trans. Rest in peace and power.

Help a young dad of two toddlers in غaza! 🌸

🌱 For a year I’ve been in contact with H, a young dad who is doing his best to keep his two toddlers alive after the destruction of their home.

🌱 H is a delightful, shy, sweet person, who always sends me the latest about his adorable little ones, updates on his family’s wellbeing, and, on Fridays, his prayers for my health.

🌱 They are terrified but persisting in hope. After months in a crowded tent, your support got them medical treatment after a life-threatening injury; food and supplies; and some shelter in an apartment, which has been crucial to their survival, especially protecting the kids from hypothermia and the whole family through numerous illnesses and medical emergencies.

Your help has truly saved this family more than once. Our task is simple—keeping this sweet family housed another month.

H’s family has requested privacy regarding their names & images and has requested I handle raising funds for them. I send all funds directly to them (and cover any fees myself). You can see all donations and my transactions to them in the doc below.
