#Gonna blast ‘No Place’ by Ezra Furman now

[matchboxcards]

I’m a trans Oklahoman. Not used to going online and seeing people talk about my state. I wish it was not because of this tragedy. I want to love my home state, but it is hard to feel loved in return

I wish this was a surprising situation, but, if I’m honest, my surprise is more from how many people care about people like me who live in places like here. That’s a good kind of surprise, the kind of bittersweet hopefulness that rises from the ashes of hate and devastation

I think about Nex every day. Trans kids deserve a better Oklahoma. Oklahomans deserve a better Oklahoma. That’s what I hope for; that’s what I live for

#personal post #idk I just needed to get this out. #I’m so tired. I got an ad for a petition for getting rid of the superintendent. #as if I don’t have my mother’s voice in my head constantly. echoing from last election. about how horrible he is #and how her and other teachers have Known This #I see strangers from California. from New York. posting with love about people like me. and I can’t process it #I see people talking about the governor. As if I didn’t make a ‘Claims To Be ProLife’ meme about him years ago #Gonna blast ‘No Place’ by Ezra Furman now #haven’t felt up to post/reblog on here for months but this couldn’t stay in me
