To celebrate the success of the first few days of the kickstarter campaign, the WBN team posted Chapter 1!! 🌻
I'm so excited to share this story I've spent the last year drawing, and for everyone to get to meet these characters in a new way. :) The rest of the chapter is here, enjoy!!
Why is corporate work like. Try Not to Get Ragebaited Challenge (Level: Impossible)
This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.
happy pride month to country mama lynn and country mama lynn only
Someone give this woman a damn crown and medal
Happy pride month to country mama lynn and ger gay son only
aint it crazy how many people realize they're queer when they have the language to express how they feel and a support system to encourage self exploration????
I never stop enjoying reading this. Literally everyone's lives improves.
Ancient legends say that if you reblog this on June you get 110% gayer and stronger
right at the beginning when she's like how do I help my son feel loved and accepted I'm here shouting "QUEEN YOU ALREADY DID THAT BY TAKING HIS SIDE AND LEAVING THAT NO GOOD HUSBAND FOR HAVING THE AUDACITY TO KICK YOUR BABY OUT!" And Good for her! this is the only response to a man who kicks out a child.
without it appears any hesitation. She's got it solid.
happy pride to mama lynn and her gay son! i hope her ex husband suffers forever <3
YOU GO AMAZING GURL MOM AND HER WONDERFULLY GAY SON!!!! X3
WE LOVE COUNTRY MAMA LYNN
cain moodboard. gehenna from his playlist is so relaxing…
isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...
schizophrenic person: makes a post trying to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse and harmful stereotypes schizophrenic people face
yall: "yeah im not gonna reblog this they used the word ins*ne which is so problematic ://"
What the fuck happens that changes these stats to such a massive degree?
1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else
2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people's symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.
also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.
can y'all please reblog this version instead
Y'know, there's this gripe I've had for years that really frustrates me, and it has to do with Love, Simon and people joking about it and calling it too-pg and designed-for-straight-people and all the like. (A similar thing has happened to Heartstopper, but that's another conversation.)
I saw Love, Simon in theaters when it came out my senior year in high school. I saw it three times, once with my friends/parents on opening night, once with my brother over spring break, and once with my grandparents.
On opening night, the air in the room was electric. It was palpable. Half the heads in there were dyed various colors. Queer kids were holding hands. We were all crying and laughing and cheering as a group. My friends grabbed my hands at the part where Simon was outed and didn't let go until his parents were saying that they accepted him. My friend came out to me as non-binary. Another person in our group admitted that she had feelings for girls. It was incredible. I left shaking. This was the first mainstream queer romance movie that had ever been produced by one of the main five studios, and I know that sounds like another "first queer character from Disney" bit but you have to understand that even in 2018 this was groundbreaking. Getting to have a sweet queer rom-com where the main character was told that he got "to breathe now" after coming out meant so much to me and my friends.
But also, from a designed-for-straight-people POV (which, to be frank, it was written by a bisexual author and directed by a gay man, this was not designed for straight audiences), why is it a bad thing that it appealed to the widest possible audience? That it could make my parents and grandparents see things in a new light? My stepdad wasn't at all interested in rom-coms but he saw it with me because it was something I cared about and he hugged me when we came out of the theater. My very Catholic grandparents watched it with me and though my grandpa said he still didn't quite understand the whole 'gay thing,' all he wanted was for me to be happy and to have a happy ending like Simon did. My Nana actually cried when Simon came out and squeeze my hand when his mother told him he could breathe.
And when Martin blackmailed Simon, my mom, badass ally that she is, literally hissed "Dropkick him. Dropkick him in the balls" leading to multiple queer kids in the audience to laugh or smile. Having my parents there- the only parents, by the way, out of my group of queer and questioning friends- made multiple people realize that supportive adults were out there. That parents like those in Love, Simon do exist in real life.
When people complain about Heartstopper not being realistic or Love, Simon being too cutesy, I remember seeing Love, Simon on opening night. I remember my friend coming out and my stepdad hugging me and my mom defending us through this character. I remember the cheers that went through the audience when Bram and Simon kissed and the chatter in the foyer after the movie was over and the way that this movie made me understand that happy endings do exist.
Queer kids need happy endings. Straight people need entry points to becoming allies. Both of these things can come together in beautiful ways. They can find out about more queer culture later, but for now, let them have this. Let them all have a glimpse at a better, happier world. Let them have queer joy.
perhaps a hot take but even at its most generous i think "if men could get pregnant abortions would be free" is a pretty shallow observation in that it treats the ability to get pregnant as something superfluous to patriarchy. i do take a very socialist view of patriarchy and reproductive autonomy is very much a labor issue. "if (cis perisex) men could get pregnant" is a "what if the moon was made of pudding" issue to me because if cis perisex men could get pregnant, our entire model of society and the production of new workers and also our entire species would be fundamentally different. its not like random happenstance that the people who can get pregnant are treated like property to be controlled, that is literally The Whole Point. you simply cannot separate misogyny and patriarchy from how people's actual bodies function and how they are treated and used by systems of power.
its not a super deep phrase overall. its an attempt to make visible the degree to which (cis)androcentrism shapes what things are viewed as important or normal and at the end of the day "human" in a general sense. which isn't entirely useless on its own, but in that attempt trans and intersex men are harmfully excluded. we can do so much better i promise! this phrase is cathartic for cis women to say and i feel that is largely why it has stuck around for so long and why people who are supposedly pro-trans get so defensive about people criticizing it, or will agree with criticisms and then keep using it.
#I'd reblog this a thousand times if I could#patriarchy's fundamental existence is as a tool of control of (re)production#the means of production of new working force or heirs (depending on class)#trans issues are also inextricable from this dynamic. how we are viewed and treated socially is highly influenced#by our ability to reproduce or lack of it. transphobes even explicitly point this out a lot of the time
^^ THIS is what actual transfeminist materialism can look like btw.
this is also why i believe the patriarchy is binarist in ideology but never truly binary on a system-level. because queer people ("queer" used as expansively as possible") have always existed and will always exist, and as a system of culture and thought it has to account for queer existence in order to properly suppress it and maintain power. which is why any feminist analysis that doesn't take a fundamentally non-binary view of gender, which overlooks queerphobia(s) and focuses entirely on "m > f," is incomplete.
I cannot give birth
what's more,
there is a gaping
hole in my
stomach through
which strangers
can see where
my womb
isn't
they do not
say I'm sorry
for your loss.
they stick their
hands inside and
they look stern
when they tell me
it's a disgusting
hole
