Back

The good thing about today:

One of my old students who's now in college came to visit. (more to visit baby possums than me, truthfully, but I got a really good hug) He's the one who came out to me as trans before any other adult and I just really like him so much as a person.

Brought a friend whose gender/pronouns I did not ask but who had a really beautiful name that I complimented and they said, "Thank you: I chose it."

Two 19-year-olds with fluorescent yellow and orange hair, tattoos everywhere, facial piercings galore, leather and studs...

Two of the nicest and kindest people you'll ever meet in your entire life.

They saw the pile of pride stickers I have and asked for some and I said, "Only if you promise to stick some of them places that make bigots angry" and they promised. Then they saw the pride pins and put a bunch on their jackets and backpacks.

I'm so lucky to know people like this.
