Just as a reminder, y'all, 988 su***de & crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth go away on 7/17 thanks to the current political administration. Thankfully, The Trevor Project is still here. They're the leading su***de & crisis support nonprofit organization for young people & they offer 24/7 crisis services year-round.

Until 1:59 PM PST, their Board of Directors is matching all donations up to $75,000 3:1 AND they're tax deductible! If you're looking for a great cause to donate to, PLEASE consider this one!

✨ From Dysphoria to Euphoria ✨

Gender euphoria isn’t some distant dream—it’s real, it’s powerful, and it deserves to be celebrated just as loudly as the hard stuff.

It might look like finally loving your reflection. Wearing that outfit. Feeling free in your pronouns. Or simply breathing easier in your own skin.

And if you’re not there yet? That’s okay too.
Your joy is still coming. And you don’t have to prove anything to deserve it. 🏳️‍⚧️💖

✨This Thursday in My Reputation Era✨ | WHAT IF PRIDE IS QUIET THIS YEAR?

Not everyone feels loud right now - but that doesn’t make your queerness any less valid or powerful. In a year where trans folx are being targeted & the political climate is exhausting as f**k, quiet resistance is still resistance.🖤✊🏻

〰️Pride doesn’t have to look like glitter and parades.🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️
〰️It can be crying in the shower to You’re On Your Own, Kid, rage-journaling, saying no to invites, or finally trying that pronoun that feels like home.

Your existence is enough.
Even in whispers.
Even in stillness.
Even now.

Welcome to “This Thursday In My Reputation Era” - a new series where I grab a Taylor Swift lyric and spiral (therapeutically, of course). Expect reflections on mental health, personal growth, and the glorious mess of becoming. So, for my first:

🔥”THEY SAY I DID SOMETHING BAD” - LOVING OUT LOUD WHEN THE WORLD IS LOUD BACK🔥

Q***r love is powerful. Messy. Tender. Defiant. It doesn’t always fit the mold—and it was never meant to.

“You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath.”

Whether you’re loving out loud, hiding and longing, or healing from what tried to make you small—this one’s for you.

🖤 Joy is protest. Softness is power. And loving on your terms? That’s art.

✨ New Blog Post: “I Know My Love Should Be Celebrated” ✨
Pride isn’t just glitter & parades. It’s grief, softness, survival, rage, resistance—& yeah, sometimes it’s a venti iced latte & a deep breath just to make it through the day.
This one’s for the qu**rs who made it through another year.
For the ones still figuring it out.
For anyone who’s ever felt too much, not enough, or just plain tired.
You’re not broken. You’re here. And that f**king matters.
