We often fear the future, the unknown. But a true warrior faces forward, confident that their strength and honor will help shape that future. Why should someone who carries their own light ever be afraid of the dark?

As a veteran, I feel it’s important to say every year that no political party or ideology or social class has a monopoly on veterans, and anyone who tries to force veterans into a mold (esp. a conservative nationalistic one) is simply opportunistic and should be ignored.

Of course this is a thing. The color of that cake is so off-putting.

Just something to think about here.

If you're not able to see how awesome you are, let me give an applies-to-all-the-trans-girls-here description: You grew up through the trauma of a trans childhood in a cis world. You made it through a forced nasty puberty of not your choice. You made it to adulthood. You have performed in adulthood in various ways, while fighting not only hidden transness but often ADHD and/or autism too. AND THEN! THEN, you magical fucking amazing women, you transitioned. One of the hardest steps anyone ever takes is that first step out the front door after transition. You've all done that. You took a swan dive off the privilege ladder, and each of you finds a way to be gorgeous and sexy doing it.

You are each of you a bloody miracle. Please try and keep that in the back of your head sometimes. Getting to where you are, from where we started, in the face of determined opposition sometimes from family as well as friends and other loved ones, not to mention official opposition from the government of the day.

Recognize your own wonderfulness.

That's what I see in you. Yes, you. Her too, but you especially. If you can read this, and you're a trans femme person, then this applies to you.

Love yas.
