The test for allyship isn't how you treat an oppressed person who is your friend, family, spouse. It's how you treat an oppressed person you absolutely can't stand who is vile and loathsome in every way.

Do you gender trans people correctly even when they're being absolutely terrible people? Do you refuse to use the r-slur against someone who suicide baited you but is neurodivergent? Do you refuse to snark at a mentally ill person who is being genuinely unpleasant, "go take your meds!"

Do you allow members of marginalized groups to be terrible people without judging their entire demographic for it? One of the most invisible yet vital forms of privilege is the right to be terrible people as an individual rather than as a group. Do you acknowledge that there are bad people in every group, that it doesn't make their group less worth fighting for? Or do you shake your head if you happen to get mistreated by some who belong to a group and insist the entire group is awful and not worth your allyship?

Oppressed people can see how you treat those of us you like, but do you still treat the worst of us with the basic dignity you treat the worst of other groups with?

If empathy is a muscle, this is how you get SWOLE. This is how you grow BEEFY. I’ve got stacks of empathy muscles. I’ve got an 8pack of empathy and love for humanity’s flaws.

Once upon a time I felt I was a useless pit of a person who did not deserve to live. To fight this voice, I found the “””worst””” people I could and defended them in court regardless of what charge, what they could pay, who they were. I wanted to prove to myself that everyone is worth defending, because if everyone is worth it, so am I.

Pleased to inform you that everyone is worth defending. Human rights are worth defending. Humans are worth helping, even though a lot of them fail and fall even with help. And it’s worth it standing up for oppressed people always always always.

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????

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.

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

i used to be a sad boy that lost his passion for reading and now im a cute dyke with glasses reading books on the train and blushing when pretty girls smile at me from across the car

never kill yourself

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

good, that was the point.

i used to be so sad and so miserable and so scared. Now i get to be a pretty girl in public and other girls see me and smile and we compliment each other and it's normal and im happy.

im so fucking happy, even when life sucks, im fucking happy.

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

this is your annual pride month reminder that queer rose is real

[godlessondheimite]

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

[nobodys-odyssey]

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Y'know, I don't think Gor would be nearly as hypnotically repulsive if it was just the slave kink stuff. Like, I've read worse than that, the depths to which the human libido can drive are abyssal and endless, but Norman refuses to let it just be a fetish thing.

Like. John. It's slave kink porn. You're writing slave kink porn. You can have the weird sword and sorcery worldbuilding stuff but please stop trying to make this a philosophical treatise.

That's the THING, though! He doesn't realize it's a fetish! He thinks this is universal and everyone else is just denying these feelings that they MUST have! He's convinced that his slave kink fetish is in fact the biologically inherent universal human condition!

If you told this man that sometimes people have the same horny feelings about like, specifically feet, or about fursonas, or about a big strong stone butch splitting wood in a tank top with the sweat glistening on her muscles, he'd think you were lying.

[bisquid]

Frankly I could almost allow that if he wasn't so bad at writing. Like. There's all sorts of weird bullshit niche porn on ao3, and who hasn't had an attempted smutfic veer determinedly sideways into Compulsory Worldbuilding but you should still probably take it out of the middle of the sex scene? But norm just. Doesn't seem to involve even a single sad and lonely braincell into the entire process. He fired his editors because they tried to get his comma addiction under control!

He thinks GREEN SHIPS ARE BASICALLY INVISIBLE

He made WEREWOLF SEX BORING. how do you do that???

[systlin]

Making gay werewolf sex on an iceberg villain base sitting on top of a nuke boring should be ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE

[bogleech]

I have learned from this string of posts that the guy who writes "gor" is actually kookier than I thought he was. What do you mean werewolf sex on top of a nuke. I thought he only had the novel series about the bdsm space barbarians.

[systlin]

I regret to inform you that this is in the BSDM space barbarian series.

There is a base of evil werewolf aliens in an iceberg with a nuke. Tarl and the lead werewolf alien have one of the most tenderly homoerotic scenes I've ever read.

[nessiemonster88]

Systlin, what THE ever loving FUCK?

We all know Systlin Stellas was desperate to make it off Gor, and that you also have a bajillion other mammoth WIPs in progress, BUT! How come she didn't get to meet the evil alien werewolves?!

Or did you just think it was already too damn weird, and we wouldn't have believed they were canon?

[systlin]

The latter. They were just. Too fucking much.

[unpretty]

pro tip “he freed his erection” is the most useful phrase in any smut writer’s arsenal because it means never having to figure out a dude’s pants situation. how did he do it? were there zippers? buttons? some kind of bizarre lacing situation? maybe he cut off his pants with scissors. maybe it was a wizard. maybe it busted out like the hulk busts out of his shirts. no one knows. no one cares. his dick is out now and that is all that matters. thank you helpful dick wizard.

[unpretty]

happy ten year anniversary to the dick wizard

HYPERBASS FLUTE

piccolo trombone 

[gottabeastringplayer]

I’m both glad and sad that string players are only limited to violin, viola, cello, and bass. Can you imagine a contrabass? Or a piccolo violin????

[wielderofscythes]

String players are not limited to just those.

I present, THE OCTOBASS

It’s so big that it needs keys to hit the strings.

And in the reverse direction there exists the Pochette. Translated from French, it means pocket, as it was a pocket sized violin like instrument.

and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.

If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.

[jungwildeandfree]

This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.
