Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
Because treating people fairly often means treating them differently.
This is something that I teach my students during the first week of school and they understand it. Eight year olds can understand this and all it costs is a box of band-aids.
I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.
After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say, “Well, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!” And they’ll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like I’m just now understanding it. Then I explain, “There might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.”
If at any time any of my students ask why one student has a different assignment, or gets taken out of the class for a subject, or gets another teacher to come in and help them throughout the year, I remind my students of the band-aids they got at the start of the school year and they stop complaining. That’s why eight year olds can understand equity.
-(Heard over the phone) “I don’t care WHAT is in your pants or what you identify as, GET THE FUCKING PISS OFF THE TOILET SEAT”
– “I don’t get why some men like to call themselves straight and then say they’d never date a Trans woman because honestly if you’re willing to exclude an entire subsection of women based on something so stupid you’re probably not worth their time anyways”
-“I don’t know why some guys worry about gay men in the locker rooms because if I was a gay guy, even I wouldn’t date me. I’ve been wearing the same shirt for three days.“
-(Over spring break) “How the fuck do you make Kraft mac&cheese”
-“What do you mean it’s written on the box– WAIT SHIT IT IS”
-“I hit on a lesbian two weeks ago in the SU without knowing it and I still feel bad about it”
-“I honestly think I’d prefer living with a (Trans) person at this point because if they’re even as half as cool as you then it’s got to be better than living with two 19 year old boys who have fucking competitions of who can piss farther on the ceiling”
-“For some reason even in college guys don’t seem to get that the only reason I get so many girls’ numbers is because I treat them like I would treat anyone else”
-“No seriously they think you have to act uninterested or like a dick for some reason”
-“No I don’t know why they think hitting on a lesbian is anything but a lot of secondhand embarrassment for the rest of us”
-“My roommate came into the room looking really dejected and when I asked why he said that he spent hours talking to this girl just to find out that she had a boyfriend the whole time and didn’t say anything” (And after me asking why it mattered) “I dunno, apparently he doesn’t understand the concept of friends”
-(After me saying I don’t get heterosexuals sometimes) “Even I don’t understand straight guys little dude, and I am one”
Also: “I’m actually really glad you’re a boy because now I can do THIS” (pretends to full on body slam me into the couch and then carries me around over his shoulder in a fit of laughter)
omg this warms my heart
Holy shit this got 1K notes you’re all gonna make my brother cocky
some fucko: not ALL men!!
me: you’re right. [op’s brother] would NEVER
Addition, said to me yesterday during a discussion we were having about toxic masculinity: “Honestly…in my experience, people in the LGBT community seem to have more empathy and care more about their peers than straight men do. Like I have a lot of friends, you know, but if I had to choose between who I wanted to talk to about something deep and emotional, I honestly don’t think I could talk to my straight bro’s about it because they usually don’t understand or just call me a pussy for it”.
And honestly that hurt me so deep because like…is it really like that for y’all? That sounds…so incredibly difficult oh my god
Idk Clarice, maybe we’re just tired, and life is uncertain, and we like the idea of a stable husband with a steady job and a big dog and his own place away from all the loud, shapeshifting-kink party gods.
Last week my brother was in a car accident. He was hit by a drunk driver. He sadly lost his life after a two and a half day fight in critical condition. He was my best friend. We did everything together; we travelled, listened to @taylorswift and had heart to heart talks. I can’t help but to stress how things could have been different.
Before taking the wheel of a car, ensure you are not intoxicated. If you go out to drink, arrange alternate transportation to get home, like an Uber or taxi. This can not only save your life, but also the lives of other innocent people.
Please do not drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Reblog this to save a life today!
@taylorswift it’s now been almost 6 weeks since my brother died. I buried his Reputation album with him so he can have it forever. Your music will live on for eternity 💕
I’ve seen a post before saying that the sides might all be in Thomas’ head. (Like figuratively, only he can see them)
And that makes sense because of Joan’s line at the end of ‘Can Lying Be Good?’
At 26:29 Joan says “I just… I just hope you didn’t do that thing you do sometimes where you freak out and stand in the middle of your living room and talk to yourself for twenty minutes”
Implying that Joan has witnessed him talking to the sides, but only Thomas could see them.
But then I remembered this one brief part in “Why Do We Get Out Of Bed In The Morning?”
At 1:51
Logan looks over his shoulder slightly, as the door closes. He’s checking to make sure that the friends are gone before he starts talking to him.
If his friends can’t see him, then why would he bother doing that quick little check? He would’ve appeared earlier to at least talk to Thomas about that idea, not really expecting a verbal response.
But also, they know they’re being recorded, as we’ve seen in various points in the series, and we can, obviously, see them.
This has lead me to the conclusion that, the sides are real, Thomas isn’t crazy or hallucinating them, (If he was hallucinating them, Roman wouldn’t have been able to give him the binder with the sheet music in the christmas episode) and other people can see them but they can choose wether or not others can see them, sort of like ghosts in certain fics.
I guess they live by a certain rule, that’s like “Don’t let Thomas’ friends or anyone out in the real world see you”
I highly doubt this will ever be directly addressed in the series, but logically I think this is how the sides work within that universe.
(Side note: Can you imagine this as an episode? Like one of Thomas’ friends leaves after something and comes back right when one or more of the sides pop up like “Hey Thomas I think I left my walle- What the-” )
You just added a good 20 years onto my life span friend
