its really quite astonishing how many allies are willing to misgender someone purely because they don't like them, in the same breath that they demand respect for their existence.

what was that old quote? "If you don't respect my authority, I won't respect you as a person?" 🤔 seems like youre just being a cop.

deplatforming Nazis works. like there's actual scientific shit to back this up. ban them. make it public knowledge that they are a nazi or a nazi sympathizer. encourage others to ban their presence. don't let them have a voice. it works because most of these people are cowards and the minute you slap them with hard consequences, they run back under their rock where they belong.

i dunno who needs to hear it, but don't settle for someone that likes you *in spite of* what makes you different. find that person that encourages you to be the fuckinest weirdo possible.

your relationships should make you feel free, not stifled.

cancelled for enjoying things without a dissertation of its positive impact of society and/ or sanctimonious but self aware criticism of own internalized bigotry manifesting as blind spots of privilege

Its not a huge deal. I mean, it is for me. My long term boyfriend (y'know, KJ) was here last September and I've been really miserable since he left. I've been slowly saving up to go visit him, but I had to quit my job as a baker because of illness, so its.. super slow.

Anyway, this is just an ask that if anyone has any spare and wants to enable me, love sick and silly, I'd appreciate the help. I need like, $300 more? 🌻

I made this and decided not to use it, so if anyone wants a background, here you go.

so Starbucks is selling a disgusting looking Halloween frappe made with activated charcoal

and here's your yearly Halloween food PSA that if you take any kind of vital medications, be very very aware of any black foods you consume.

activated charcoal is what sucks up toxins from your body (like in the case of poisonings) but it will also soak up your medications and fuck you up. be careful out there.

@MoMartin @Are0h this makes sense. You only become a firefighter if you believe in your core that you are willing to die for other people. You become a cop because you want the power to bully others.

Fewer cop shows

More firefighter shows

This also works if you take out the word "shows"

@Are0h

And we all need to remember we need to pitch in. To be a defeatist, to say "the world is cold and cruel" and enact on it instead of trying to change or challenge that isn't helping anyone.

Being kind and nice isn't easy. Its not weak because its difficult to do. It requires a lot of reflection and working on yourself, but its possible. This can be the internet's baseline, but we have to try.

the coolest thing about actually diverse- or better, POC focused and driven media, and/ or queer media is that i lose myself in whats going on because it feels comfortable and familiar.

when media is cishet and white, i always feel vaguely uneasy and Very Aware. i can't actually get absorbed in it.

check your Mark Hamill erasure when discussing the best Joker ever, plebs

the venn diagram of adults complaining about teenagers being "too old to trick-or-treat" and adults that have complete meltdowns at the thought of socialized medicine and tax payer funded education is a circle

the venn diagram of adults complaining about teenagers being "too old to trick-or-treat" and adults that have full scale toddler like tantrums at cashiers and wait staff for utterly trivial matters is just a circle

Tesla allowing users to customize their car horns like i can't wait to hear aggressive hentai tooted at me as i cross the street too slowly for an incel with a mountain dew addiction

okay okay okay hear me out:

Enbieween :heart_nb: 🎃

I'm counting this as a date anyway. When KJ got off his flight, I was so flustered that I didn't touch him even to shake his hand. I leaned in kinda awkwardly and said "Don't touch me." And he didn't and I didn't and things turned out fine. Respect boundaries and understand the other person is probably just as freaked out as you are lmao

recovery from trauma and abuse is a selfish time and it should be. you're trying to make sense of a world that no longer makes sense, for some of us we're learning for the first time who we are.

its okay to be overwhelmed and to choose new self and new life over your past.

queer poc spaces being relegated to bars and clubs feels a lot like keeping us deliberately bathed in a dirty light that makes it so much easier to dismiss us as inherently sexually deviant and not permissible for wholesome day time activities vs just normal ass humans that want to exist in peace, reading or taking cooking classes or having coffee with friends without worrying about being clocked

Does anyone have any recommendations for creepy, thrilling, mystery and/or horror books? Preferably with female authors.📚
