To claim that something is “just politics” is to point out how much privilege you have, either systematically or incidentally.

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?

Because you only get one shot at life.

[N]o one held my molester down and called the police for what he did to me. He was quietly escorted away, and over the course of a few months, the whispers of support turned into accusations.

Even a Google search will conflate “queer women” with “lesbian.” So the first and most obvious thing I wish people understood about being a queer woman, is that we exist.

There’s a lot more to sexuality than meets the eye.

At this point gender basically exists to sell us stuff.

It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.
