Confessions of an Uneducated Queer- Lauren Zuniga
(For every late bloomer.)
“For the suburban queers who only have Tumblr to not feel alone in the world.”
So much love for this.

On The Recent Failures of Law Enforcement in Oklahoma
Another piece I read for the OK4RJ Open Mic Night sponsored by OU Write Club
(tw: rape, law enforcement)
(Source : idatandgaudior)
From last week’s performance in Berkeley. My phone hates recording things for more than 2 minutes so I got really lucky that it captured nearly the entire piece minus the last two words of “your son”.
This piece is so powerful, so profound that the first time I heard it, I cried and clapped while I sat in my office chair.
Never let the way you talk be an excuse someone uses against you. Never let the way you form your words on paper or the “Errors” that you make when you write, be something someone uses as proof that you are beneath them. It is THEIR weakness in not being able to form another argument. It is THEIR weakness in thought and need to find something, anything to use against you. They aren’t looking at or listening to your words. They are only in search for any item to use against you. It is THEY who need to be fixed, not you. Speak on. Write on. Fuck them.
Hell yeah!!!!
