it happened !!!!

Considering Waffle House’s racist, far right politics, it’s no surprise they’d be into Reylo.

diversehighfantasy

There’s a Waffle House boycott led by Dr. Bernice A. King after multiple racial incidents at their restaurants in 2018 alone.

And they promote Reylo, specifically.

What’s next, Official Waffle House Make Star Wars White Again caps?

This is all news to me

I’m so confused

Wut.

I’m not a lesbian. I’m not gay. I’m not bisexual. I’m not transgender. I categorically refuse to erase myself by turning myself into an ambiguous +.

I’m queer. My sexual/romantic orientation is not an easily explained situation.

When I say ‘queer’ as an umbrella term, I’m not using it as an equivalent to LGBT, because it isn’t. I am referring to the people who are like me, who are queer, who are attracted to a particular spectrum of people in a way not easily defined by labels. LGBT people can be included in the queer umbrella, if they want to be. Or not, if they don’t. That’s their call, not mine.

My identity is not a slur. Our community, the Queer community, is also not a slur. I will not be erased by the “LGBT” crowd in the interest of keeping things neat and tidy in front of The Cishets.

Fuck off.

rabbit-x3

The original meaning of queer is strange/peculiar and don’t lots of people espically trans people want their identity to been seen as normal so being called queer kinda erases that

iamnotadamnedmonkey

But no one is calling any one queer who doesnt wanna be. Queer is a self identifying label.

People are purposefully misunderstanding us at this point.

If you’re having trouble seeing the connection, list your favorite pro-choice arguments. Then apply them to a human at any other stage of development.

apersnicketylemon

“No one has the right to use any persons body without that persons continuous and ongoing consent, regardless of the reason or circumstance behind the request. A person owns all of their own internal organs, and has the right to decide who may use those organs along with the rest of their body and all that bodies resources, how, and for how long. This also applies to a fetus, who requires continuous consent to occupy a persons uterus,”

That actually sounds like the opposite of ‘argument used to support slavery’, considering the argument is literally ‘everyone owns their own body’. Which, fyi, comparing a medical procedure that allows a person to maintain control over their own body to slavery is SUPER racist.

kittydesade

Ahahah it’s not just knee strength you need, friend. It’s thighs, ass, ankles, calves, you need everything from your waist down to be horrifyingly fit and toned for this.

Also core strength. So include the waist. Everything from the nipples down.

Here’s a cool trick to see if a man actually respects you: try disagreeing with him

the-rain-monster

A friend of mine did something with online dating where, before meeting a person, she’d say no to something minor without a reason for the no. For example: “No, I don’t want to meet at a coffee shop, how about X?”, or “No, not Wednesday”, or “No, I don’t want to recognize each other by both wearing green shirts”. She said how the potential dates reacted was a huge indicator of whether she actually wanted to meet them, something I readily believe.

I’ve mentioned this to a few people and sometimes I get very annoyed and incredulous responses from guys about how are they supposed to know that it’s a test if the girl is being unreasonable? How are they supposed to know that and let her have her way? I find it difficult to explain that if you find it unreasonable for someone to have a preference of no consequence which they don’t feel the need to explain, then you are the one being unreasonable. You can decide for yourself that it sounds flaky and you don’t want to date her, but you don’t have a right to know and approve all of her reasons for things in order to deign to respect that she said no about it. Especially in the case of someone you haven’t even fucking met yet.

the-real-seebs

The point isn’t to know it’s a test, the point is that if you would only say “yes” if you knew it was a test, then what if it’s not a test, but because she hates coffee shops, or because she’s attending a funeral Wednesday and doesn’t know you well enough to want to share that, or whatever else? Because if you’re making rules for when other people can have preferences and not explain why… yeah, that is a thing they can reasonably want to avoid.

teratomarty

@ all the angry dudes in the replies: the point is not to trick or manipulate men. The point is to see how a potential romantic partner reacts to a minor inconvenience. If they say, “oh, ok, would seven work instead?” or “well there’s this Armenian tea house I’ve been meaning to try out, want to go there?” then that’s a good sign that they’re safe to date. If they throw a fit and/or demand to know every little detail about your rationale over something as simple as rescheduling dinner plans, that’s a bad sign. A really bad sign.

It’s like this, dudes. Women in Western society are socialised to cooperate and compromise. Some men are socialised to get all their own way, all the time. These dudes are incredibly dangerous to women their partners,* and the only way to tell them apart from the OK guys is to pay close attention to how they react. If you’re one of the OK ones, this isn’t about you. Learn to take “no” for an answer, and you’ll be fine.

*Updated to reflect the fact that abusive men can target any gender, and the fact that I used this screening tactic to good effect during my Big Gay Slut phase.

The thing a lot of the men reblogging don’t get – they think this post is telling women to lie. They think this post is telling women to start a fake argument and to be manipulative.

Actually, this post is doing the opposite. This post is telling women to be straightforward, and forthright, and upfront about their values and opinions.

This post is telling women, “I know you’ve been socialized and conditioned to nod and smile at everything a man says your whole life, since you were 4 years old and your grandma told you that little girls should be seen and not heard. I know that by now it’s second nature to you, and you probably don’t even realize you’re doing it half the time. You don’t even realize that the laugh that just came out of your mouth is a laugh of appeasement, rather than a laugh of genuine humor. ”

It’s telling women, “Force yourself to resist your conditioning. Consciously make an effort to be open and honest in that initial conversation, when you’re making small talk, about small things. If he says something you don’t quite agree with (and he inevitably will, because nobody agrees on everything), don’t smile and concede the point like you’ve been trained to do. Consciously make a point of vocalizing your real opinion.”

It’s telling women “If a man doesn’t respect your real opinion about a small, insignificant issue when you first meet him, then he’s not going to respect your real boundaries later on when you’re in a serious relationship.”

Good advice to adopt as gospel.

liesonthefloordramatically

Hot take: people who argue that saying “mood,” “same,” “F,” “oh worm?” etc. add nothing to a conversation don’t realize that they function the same way as aizuchi, i.e. signalling that you’re still paying attention to what the speaker is saying, which is harder to do when you can’t see the other person.

I honestly always find the term ‘spinster’ as referring to an elderly, never-married woman as funny because you know what?

Wool was a huge industry in Europe in the middle ages. It was hugely in demand, particularly broadcloth, and was a valuable trade good. A great deal of wool was owned by monasteries and landed gentry who owned the land.

And, well, the only way to spin wool into yarn to make broadcloth was by hand.

This was viewed as a feminine occupation, and below the dignity of the monks and male gentry that largely ran the trade.

So what did they do?

They hired women to spin it. And, turns out, this was a stable job that paid very well. Well enough that it was one of the few viable economic options considered ‘respectable’ outside of marriage for a woman. A spinster could earn quite a tidy salary for her art, and maintain full control over her own money, no husband required.

So, naturally, women who had little interest in marriage or men? Grabbed this opportunity with both hands and ran with it. Of course, most people didn’t get this, because All Women Want Is Husbands, Right?

So when people say ‘spinster’ as in ‘spinster aunt’, they are TRYING to conjure up an image of a little old lady who is lonely and bitter.

But what I HEAR are the smiles and laughter of a million women as they earned their own money in their own homes and controlled their own fortunes and lived life on their own terms, and damn what society expected of them.

Wait a sec

I always thought George Lucas was just being an ass when he decided to change Timothy Zahn’s pronunciation of Coruscant. That’s literally how I always heard it: “hurr blurr sure this guy help establish an ongoing series of novels that almost singlehandedly maintained interest in my franchise enough that I finally feel it’s the right time to continue it in film so I’ll use his name for the capital planet buuuuuut I don’t care about his linguistic choices.” Nowhere have I ever seen that Lucas changed it to help a child actor feel comfortable and not embarrassed about tripping on his lines.

Don’t really say this in regards to the prequels much, but good on you George Lucas

I saw a post saying that trans people should remember that “ You may be the first trans person someone has met! Be a good ambassador!!!”

I am not an ambassador. I did not agree to, nor do I want, that position. I am not anyone’s token trans. I am not the spokesperson for all trans people everywhere. I am an individual, and I am just trying to live my life.

Don’t put that shit on people.
