A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.

[quarterinthequeerjar]

“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”

[dani-kin]

you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur

[brinconvenient]

EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES

Holy motherfucking shit. Don’t fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know it’s a god damn slur. And it’s mine. You don’t get to take it away from me because you can’t take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community. 

[jenroses]

always, always reblog this one.

If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, it’s my sword now. And the person telling me I can’t use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.

This came around again, but it’s worth sharing and remembering.  You have the right to only accept certain words be used to describe you, but so does everyone else.

[aqueerkettleofish]

I have this bookmarked to through at people who DM me about using the word Queer.

[mayastormborn]

The rallying cry when I was but a baby Bi was

We’re here

We’re Queer

Get Used To It!

And that has stuck with me ever since.

[this-is-not-a-slow-burn]

Goddamn this is beautiful. Queer is above all my #1 label and I find untold amounts of strength in it. It’s a word that absolutely defines me, and feels like an armor of gratitude for those who fought battles so that we could stand.

And I say this as someone who first came out in the early 90’s, who marched in many dyke marches, who lost a friend to AIDS, who has been to so many dyke softball games it isn’t funny… I could go on all day.

The Lesbian Avengers were a political action group, and one of their actions was to literally eat fire while chanting

“The fire will not consume us. We take it and make it our own”

it was a message that not only said that we were reclaiming and therefore defusing the things that can harm us but that the fire was also a fuel.

Oh and their slogan? “We Recruit” This was a partly tongue and cheek and partly defiant statement referencing a strong homophobic view at the time that we were sexual deviants that were preying on and recruiting vulnerable people.

Queer is a slur and you are not going to take it away from me.

[the-haiku-bot]

“The fire will not

consume us. We take it and

make it our own”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

One very important note on the immense value of the Internet Archive that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

It crawls major newspapers like the New York Times multiple times per day.

For anything other than one of those scrolling updates breaking news pages, you can access it from the Archive usually within an hour or two of it being published. No paywall. You want international news? You got it. Opinion? That too. Recipes? It's all here. Page not yet archived? There's a button for that and now you got it.

There are various paywall-evading extensions and tricks out there, but they don't always work. This does.

Go forth and read the newspaper.

[letrune]

The Internet Archive is a library. Unlike the newspaper, that may misplace or even destroy their own archives, they keep it.

Internet Archive is awesome.

I'm waiting for my psychiatrist appointment outside and some kid, maybe 2 years old or so, stopped dead in his tracks, stared into the bush (nothing was moving or in there), proceeded to make baby-noise, and didn't move at all til the point his had had to lift him away.

Don't know what was going through your mind, kid, but goddamn I relate

I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little.

But I was little too.

Reblogging also to add a link to the tiktok upload of the poem by the aforementioned user from whom this quote originates 👍 no idea why this was randomly attributed to Kafka

Fuckin iowa jesus christ. And fucking republicans in general

[antiterfbutch]

Please notice that the wording they use has shifted from "marriage between one man and one woman" to "marriage between one male and one female". This is not a coincidence. GCs and terfs have no excuse to not see the blood on their hands.

[sexhaver]

i love it when people end their dumbass points with a snappy one-liner that is technically true but in the complete opposite direction they intended

"i only concussed myself on a bike once and it wasn't even as bad as the time i walked directly into a metal pole" is not the supporting argument you seem to think it is

[archaeocommunologist]

Listen up "Dutchies," the big smart Americans are here to lecture you all on bicycle safety. Let them just roll down the windows of their Honda Civics, lean out, and spit on you for not wearing a helmet while riding through your robust cycling infrastructure. Remember: the people from the country that is actively hostile to all forms of transportation other than cars are definitely the people who know best.

[kusali]

This dude doesn't even know how concussions work because if he did he'd be talking about how helmets of all kinds don't prevent them because they're caused by the brain impact inside the head while leaving out the fact that they do prevent catastrophic head injuries by protecting your head from cement and metal poles

[teaboot]

I'm going to fight all of you what the fuck are you on about.

You know what sucks? A concussion

You know what sucks worse than a concussion? A skull fracture leaking your fucking brains out on the goddamn concrete like a fist full of pork-flavored jello in a wind tunnel 'cause you took a turn and bonked the dome attached to your food hole at an angle 2⁰ sharper than nature intended in beta testing, you absolute trogodytes

"Oh but I've had accidents without a helmet and I didn't die or get major permanent brain damage"

Wow, that's fucking incredible! And hey, while we're trading anecdotes, can I tell you about this one time I *did* die forever? Yeah just grab me that ouija board and pop a seat, pour a drink, fuck, holy shit

Here, let me hand my phone to my bud Jimmy here, he lost basically all fine motor function along with a good chunk of his face so it might take him a minute to read your post and navigate the touch screen so you'll have to bear with us

You absolute fucking jackasses, Jesus Christ. Jesus fucking Christ. Holy shit

[farialyton]

Facebook deleted this almost immediately. It's almost like the ultrawealthy don't want us knowing or talking about what's at stake.

[kalessinsdaughter]

Just want to add one thing:

In countries with universal healthcare, this is a non-issue during a strike. Our access to healthcare isn't tied to working. It's an unconditional right for each and everyone of us.

The US system screws workers over in oh so many ways.

[athingofvikings]

This is exactly why US companies fight so hard against universal healthcare; even if single payer healthcare is cheaper on a per-person basis and takes the cost away from the employer, it also takes POWER and leverage away from the employers... and they don't ever want to give that up.

[fruitpilled-peachcel]

With the death of Jimmy Buffett, it's clear the old world is dying. Boomerism slipping quietly into the night. Maybe no one else better represented its aspirational vision. The end of the work day. The end of history. The possibility, just over the horizon, of a terrestrial paradise. A cheeseburger in paradise.

DO NOT SUPPORT AI

They will not stop unless we refuse to give them money. Do not support ai. Only human made art!

[justasillynerd]

Ok, say you don't care about artists jobs. You suck, but I get some people truly don't care.

Here's why you should still boycott.

Game companies are spending less money and giving you an inferior product *and not charging less*

They are not paying aritsts anynore, but they are pocketing the saving and not reducing the cost to consumers.

So if you don't want to b boycott over artists being screwed, boycott over you being screwed.
