It’s literally impossible for you to make yourself known to everyone you meet. Some people will just get the wrong impression about you and you have to let it go.
I was walking down the street with my brother on a hot day on our way into a bookstore and I said “I hate the sun. It’s too hot. Name ONE reason we need the sun. Literally I can’t think of a single reason why we can’t just figure out a way to block it”
And a guy turned and looked at me with the most dumbfounded and horrified expression Id seen since the last time someone looked at me like that (about a week before) and then turned to the girl with him and they both looked mistified in the worst way.
They really thought I don’t know what the sun’s for.
I could’ve told them I work in environmental science but I was having a conversation with my brother.
Those two people think that’s the day they overheard probably the stupidest thing any human being has ever loudly said in a bookstore.
white people will cry over the death of a robot but will totally ignore the murder of an African American man who got shot by the police while he was sleeping.
cleaning gurus:minimalism only. you can only own 3 t shirts and a cactus. white walls. you can have one pen and a piece of paper. everything you own has to fit into a backpack everyone: omg this is SUCH good advice i followed this exactly and it CHANGED. MY. LIFE. everyone has to follow this!! marie kondo: actually you can keep things you like! getting rid of clutter doesn’t mean getting rid of things that take up space: it means getting rid of things that you don’t need or don’t make you happy. holding onto things that have no personal or practical value creates the real clutter! everyone: oh my GOD she’s trying to force me to throw away everything i love! she wants me to live in a house with only three t shirts and a cactus!!! she is personally in my house and forcing me to toss out my grandfather’s ashes right now >:( also learn to speak english
Honestly fuck all this “i hate Valentine’s Day because I’m single” shit. Love is not just romantic. People love in so many different ways it is almost imposible for you not to have someone to celebrate Valentine’s Day with. Bake some cookies with your best friend because you love each other. Watch some cheesy romance movies with your siblings because you love each other. Give your mom (or mother figure) a home made card because you love each other. Have a dance party to all your favorite love songs because you love yourself. Play with your dog, volunteer for a good cause, call a relative, do something nice for a stranger. There are so many ways you can celebrate love on Valentine’s Day without a significant other. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
bradley cooper’s disappointment on not being oscar nominated for best director is like peak male entitlement in the film industry, like it’s his first directing job, it wasn’t an original film, nor was it above extraordinary, and i think of all the incredible female filmmakers who didn’t get a single nomination or minute of recognition in this awards season & they haven’t publicly made headlines about their snubs!!!!! female filmmakers are absolutely ignored and excluded from the award season that is the men’s club! and they’re giving that desert lizard time to express his disappointment like pls !!!! you gotta EARN a fucking directing nomination. christopher nolan only got his first directing nomination last year for dunkirk BITHCHH
some of y’all still can’t recognize the differences between platonic, romantic, sexual, mentor-student, and familial relationships, both in fiction and reality, and it really shows
starting 2018 with sharing some lgbt singers/bands that i listen to. some of these are really popular and you’ve probably already heard of them. and also im always looking for some new lgbt music so add some more if you want!!
gay bands and singers
sam smith – basically really sad soul/RnB. a lot of his songs are slow heartbreaking.
brockhampton – a rap/hip hop boy band. the founding member is openly gay and a lot of the lyrics are about him being gay, but also about things like racism/sexism/homophobia.
kevin abstract – the gay member of brockhampton who was mentioned above. he also has solo albums. his album american boyfriend is basically one gay love story.
mika -- lebanesepop rock singer who speaks a bunch of languages. majority of his songs are in english but a few are in french. his songs are kinda weird and sound like you would sing them with ur gay friends around a campfire
troye sivan – u know him. cool and funny youtuber/indie pop singer. not much to say bc everyone already knows troye is amazing.
passion pit – indie electropop band, the sole member is gay
neon trees – pop rock band. u already know them from animals back in 2010. the lead is gay.
years & years – one of my faves. an electropop trio with songs with cool imagery that you can dance to whilst crying. the lead singer olly alexander is a cool lgbt activist and youll want to know him.
lesbian bands and singers
jen foster – idk many songs, but definitely some pop country vibes
the veronicas – idk a lot of their songs either, but they’re a pop punk duo and twin sisters. one of the sisters is gay and in a relationship w ruby rose!!
hayley kiyoko – ok you already know her. she’s half japanese and The Lesbian Icon. all her songs are about girls and the music videos are great
coeur de pirate – she’s an indie pop singer and her voice sounds like lying in a field of sunflowers in the spring. most of her songs are in french, but she has a lot that are in english.
mary lambert – rnb/pop singer and also lgbt rights activist. she is absolutely amazing and her songs talk a lot of about her sexuality, sexual abuse, bipolar disorder, and body image.
tegan and sara – another twin sister indie pop duo except both of them are gay this time!!
bi bands/singers

tokio hotel – pop rock band from germany who slowly turned to electropop over time. their early songs are in german but they have english versions to all their songs and their newer music is all in english.
taylor bennett – rapper who’s very similar to kendrick lamar and pretty open about his sexuality. he’s also chance the rapper’s brother (and don’t hate me but they kind of have the exact same voice. like it’s so trippy how similar they sound)
the xx – two of the members are gay and it is so great. They’re indiepop and sound like what laying on a cloud would feel like
green day – everyone knows green day. billie joe armstrong is bi ppl!!
sia– you probably know sia too. her music is electropop and basically just gets you dancing.
st vincent – idk much of her music, but she’s kind of indie rock and incredibly sweet
