Don't mind me, just lurking like a lazy creeper here

Shout everyone else taking the vow of silence today

[slate-cactus]

Happy Pride to:

aces who feel invalid because they only became ace after trauma

bi/pansexuals who feel invalid because most/all of their romantic interests so far have been a specific gender

enbys who feel invalid because their fashion style is stereotypically masculine or feminine

lesbians/gays who feel invalid because they've had childhood, celebrity, or fictional crushes on the opposite sex

aces who feel invalid because they also suffer from hypersexuality

trans people who feel invalid because they still appreciate some things about their agab

aces who feel invalid because they still get aroused despite not wanting to have sex

lesbians/gays who feel invalid because they were in straight relationships before they were out

trans people who feel invalid because they don't want to go on hormones or get surgery for whatever reason

poly people who feel invalid because they've never been in a polyamorous relationship

genderfluid people who feel invalid because they identify as one gender more than others

trans people who feel invalid because they've enjoyed sex as their agab

aroace people who feel like being on the aroace spectrum invalidates their non-straight identity

non-straight people who feel like being non-straight invalidates their aroace identity

any queer person who feels invalid because they've been "fine living in the closet so far"

any queer person who feels invalid because they change their labels a lot

any queer person who feels invalid because they have a lot of labels

any queer person who feels invalid because they only have a few labels

any queer person who feels invalid because they can't find labels that describe them

any queer person who feels invalid because they don't want to find labels that describe them

any queer person who feels invalid because they've been told they're "too young", "confused", "going through a phase", "wrong", "unnatural", "letting their family down", "satanic", or anything else to suppress their queer identity.

You are valid. You will always be valid. Even if you didn't feel like this until recently, even if you don't always feel like this, your queer identity describes who you are and how you feel right now.

You are loved.

Happy Pride.

Don't give up.

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[lakemojave]

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

[thereal-sillyguy]

Happy Pride to all of the Aromantics & Asexuals, including the Aromantics who aren't Asexual, to the Asexuals who want nothing to do with sex, and to the Asexuals who still involve themselves in some way with sex. You and others all exist and I Do See You

it’s sooo funny when rude customers encounter employees who can deny them service for the first time.

i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.

so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”

And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”

I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”

And he was so astonished he didn’t even argue he just turned around and left 💀🙏🏻 it was like he suddenly became self aware

One summer I was running ferry rides across a lake so people could see the waterfalls without walking 6 miles when a guy snapped my bra strap as he was boarding the boat. So i immediately threw him off, he started yelling for my manager, my boss cheerfully informed him that, yeah, she’s the captain of the boat and she can kick off anyone she wants. He goes to storm off, looks expectantly at his girlfriend, and she just goes, “Well, I’M not walking six miles, Michael! I’ll meet you back at the car!” and sits right back down!!!!

The expression on his face when he was told that he couldn’t get on the boat, then immediately told that his girlfriend was ditching him? PRICELESS. he just blinked at her and then stormed off like a child. I gave her a free hat and was like maybe rethink this relationship…….

i once had this fucker come up to order a beer. while i pour it he shows me the wanky fucking chemical structure tattoo on his arm and he’s like “hey. you know what this is” i was like “nah sorry” (never cared abt chemistry in school, plus having to look at a some rando’s pretentious tattoo gives me the douche chills). he decides to respond with “heh. you must not read many books”

i immediately stop pouring his beer. i reply: “heh. you must not want this beer.” thirsty boy immediately starts groveling like a worm “please please no i do want the beer im sorry im sorry” believe me when i say it was one of the most pathetic things ive ever witnessed

[lezbadeez]

gotta love people immediately backpedaling when they realise that there are Consequences To Being Mean

[lastvalyrian]

I genuinely believe that part of why it has become so normalized to be openly callous and evil in politics is that customer service culture has trained affluent people that they can treat everyone they consider beneath them however they want and still be treated kindly.

Being Aroace in June is an interesting experience

[the-irreverend]

It's a sad truth, I know, but we shouldn't forget that aspec and arospec people still continue to face bigotry and aphobia... even within the queer community.

We still have a long, long, long way to go,

Did you see that study that came out about how aspec/arospec people are experiencing a sharp decline in acceptance? Absolutely saddening.

[egltsukasatenma]

if you are not on the aroace spectrum you are PERMANENTLY BANNED from saying “aroace people can still date” “asexuals can still have sex” or ANYTHING along the lines of that

even, no, ESPECIALLY when talking about fictional characters

[coffeemchocolate]

I am begging you Tumblr, PLEASE give the #aroace and #aromantic asexual tags their sunset flag colour.

It's pretty 🥺

[aroacesafeplaceforall]

Who cares about what you do or don’t identify as? As long as you’re happy, youre not hurting anyone and you’re not hurting yourself (safe sane and consensual folks), does it matter?

There are bigger problems in the world than someone who uses a different variation of the same flag as you, or who uses a million labels.

You don’t have to understand everyone, hell I don’t, some of y’all have identities I could never understand, but you can bloody well respect everyone and treat every person with kindness.

*filming literal mold* “There is a bit of a damp problem…” The signs saying “DON’T BUY THIS” are a beautiful touch.
