INFAUST could use some love and what better way to show it than to show off the insane ao3 tags that relate to it? If you want a buck-wild enemies-to-enemies-that-fuck-unhealthily dark fantasy, dark romance read, this is probably as good as the getting gets www.tdcloudofficial.com/books

#WIPSnips - "Film" On vibes alone, the whole of TETK could qualify for this one! But here's a specific instance of the actual word

“We’re at the ladder. I don’t go slow this time, and I don’t stop when we make the top. I run into the deep dark woods, where for the first time in my life I’m one hundred percent positive there are monsters ready to tear me apart. My only regret is we have no camera to film it.” - The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

""I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue ..."

r/trans

Seeing people deflate when I explain simple facts of my reality bums me out.
Vent
"No, I can't go on that cruise to Italy with you, because I'm struggling to get a passport that doesn't put me in danger. I'm scared I might have trouble getting home."
"Yes, I'm looking at other job opportunities/leaving my position working at school, which I love so much. It's becoming unsafe for people like me to work with children - I got a death threat the other day."
"Will the doctor/therapist/etc. you're recommending be safe for someone like me?"
"Before I meet your parents, I need to know if they know about me. Will I be safe?"
"I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue, I'm sorry."
Seeing it actually register on people's faces that this is my life- that these policies are real and affect real people they know and love- is a really bitter pill. On one hand, it's sad to have to break such depressing news. And on the other hand, it feels so isolating and infuriating that people who love me apparently have no clue any of this is happening unless I take the time to inform them.
Just needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...
