Do men have anything else to offer besides disappointment

doing cute domestic things with someone is so lovely. Like going shopping for groceries or waking up together and making breakfast or just doing your own thing and existing in the same space and being comfortable and happy together is the nicest thing.
I illustrated my work New Years Resolution for It’s Nice That, you can read the feature here :D
Kinda fucked up how cis women are allowed to abandon feminity in the name of feminism but trans women are forced to adopt it just to be recognized as women
Beyond the brilliant way Alan Rickman gave life to a brilliantly written character in one of my all-time favourite childhood series, Alan Rickman was vocal (without fucking up) about Palestine. In 2005 he co-created the play My Name is Rachel Corrie about the brave American activist who was killed when an Israeli bulldozer ran her over in Gaza while she was trying to stop a Palestinian home from being destroyed. In 2006 Alan Rickman publicly denounced the political censorship of the play in the United States.
It’s difficult to find an artist/actor/writer in popular culture who you can respect both for what their art has given you and for their awareness and humanity–especially when it comes to an issue like Palestine which, for the Northwestern part of the globe, is misrepresented by so much racism, hypocrisy, a large deficit of empathy. Rickman’s ability to recognize and feel the need to spread Corrie’s story despite all the bullshit about it being ‘controversial’–that understanding and the ability to follow it with action is what makes his loss so sad for me because it matters even more than the fact he was a brilliant actor.
