z library got taken down because booktok blew it up, not realising it provided access to literature in third world countries where physical copies are expensive due to extra taxation and new releases are difficult to come by ???? like i'm glad booktok got more people to read but fuck you if you ever carelessly mentioned it or made a tiktok about it

the sapphic urge to take pictures of your friends, listen to exile and champagne problems to feel heartbroken, watch video essays on something rather than look it up, not mend the complicated relationship with your mother, kin lady bird, use the anatomical heart emoji instead of the normal one, buy candles but never burn them, blast sapphic songs at 4 am, fill your bedroom with a hundred different things that all somehow not just yours but entirely you, adamantly use wired earphones, use claw clips and hair sticks, keep promises, blast all too well 10 minute version in the car, dress fruitier than a fruit, bake red velvet cupcakes for your younger sister when she's sad, vist museums to look like art, write love letters to your friends and communicate primarily through voice notes

a lot of young girls need to realize that keeping friendships alive gets so hard after high school/uni and that you have to actively nurture your friendships if you want them to last yes even the friendships of 2 decades….. your 20s are so disorienting and trauamtizing no one can afford to take friendships for granted… everybody worries about not finding a romantic partner lets start worrying about being friendless by the time you hit 30

Happy pride month to those who are scared

Happy pride month to those who are proud

Happy pride month to those who are out

Happy pride month to those who are closeted

Happy pride month if you’re trying to figure yourself out

Happy pride month if you’ve known for years

Happy pride month to those who it’s their first

Happy pride month to those who have celebrated for years

Happy pride month to those who are afraid to celebrate

Happy pride month to those who will scream it from the rooftops

Happy pride month to you.

“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”

— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

But heaven wasn't what you were aiming for You didn't think the other side would be better You thought the other side would be nothing at all Imagine choosing nothing at all Imagine something hurting that bad

Andrea Gibson- The day you died because you wanted to

.

.

 As someone who has been so suicidal recently, this made me cry. Because I don't know if I'll ever be happy, and I doubt it, but I love my friends and family to pieces and I'm not so blind that I don't know how utterly I will break them if I leave. I may not deserve happiness but they do.

Me is hot gurl✨

Hot girls break their backs trying to find a pdf of some rare book which had 500 copies published in 1932

-- and even now if you were to say "leave all your new lovers, be mine" I would be yours in a heartbeat. If you were to say "I hate your existence and I don't want you to talk to me and be near me or anyone I know ever again" I would respect those wishes. Because while my mind is moving on and while I may appear to be breezing through every new day, my heart is still where it was in the beginning of February, with my nose smushed against yours and the taste of your mom's khandvi lingering on my lips.

to many more leela and urmila!

since it's Dusshera today the day know for the right side's win over the wrong one

celebration of the victory of good over evil and it's lgbtq+ history month

here's another history lesson for indian queers

In 1987, Leela and Urmila, two policewomen from Madhya Pradesh, married each other in the first ever documented case of its kind. Their marriage was one of the first and most widely reported instance of same-sex marriage in India.

(both of them were later removed from their positions and were imprisoned. they continued to face discrimination for being 'immoral women' and for 'setting bad example over fellow women' due to which were forced to leave their village.)

SAY THEIR NAMES

[bisexualpoetrylady]

I hope the universe blesses you with a moment of peace this week. You’re doing the right thing, and you’re going to be okay.
