- Reposted by becsAdding my voice to the choir to say: make something. If there's a story that you wish was different, or two ideas you've never seen mixed but wish someone would do something like that, try it yourself. Make something. Make it in any medium you feel comfortable with, but make it. ♥

- Reposted by becsevery gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

- Reposted by becs"trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are valid" You know what, this isn't fucking roll call. Why don't you try "Trans people deserve dignity, autonomy, and freedom from discrimination"? "Trans people deserve access to healthcare without gatekeeping"? "Trans people matter"?

- Reposted by becsCamus: Under conditions so desperate, the hard, marvelous task of this century is to create justice in the most unjust of worlds, and to protect freedom from those souls who, out of principle, choose servitude. If we fail, man will return to darkness. But at least we will have fought to find light.
- Reposted by becsweeding ironic self-deprecation out of your language really does a whole lot to free yourself to appreciate things openly I don't apologize for the art I make, the stuff I like isn't garbage or trash, and people finding me cringe is literally not my problem - I take pride in liking what I like

- Reposted by becsDeleting web pages, taking down photographs, changing names, firing people…none of it’s going to magically change history so that white men did absolutely everything ever. It’s not going to make them suddenly the most accomplished. It’s so pathetic. That they need to erase reality to feel powerful.
