i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.

the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

i know i said i did not want to talk about the nolan odyssey but i do have one more nodyssey post in me. i actually think the idea of odysseus understanding his story as existing both in and out of a historic timeframe is a fun way to handle the liminality caused by the story being part of an extensive oral tradition. however having him say "our age of bronze is collapsing" is perhaps not the way i would have done that

i'm really enjoying the way that this makes it sound like it's his fault. like it's blaming him

It is so ridiculously easy to gain a reputation for being competent by just reading signs.

This is not metaphorical. I mean actual, literal pieces of paper/plastic/metal/whatever explicitly erected to inform the public.

“How did you know this was the right trail?” I read the sign.

“Wow, how did you know what that flower is?” There’s a SIGN.

“How did you know we needed to use the side door?” THERE IS A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Just…why are we having such different experiences of the world? People can read. I KNOW they can read. There’s nothing wrong with their vision.

Just. READ. THE. GOD. DAMN. SIGN.

everyone needs to start hyping up intersex people right the fuck now 🗣

[imjunebitch]

being openly intersex is hot as fuck and insanely cool and swag and brave and wonderful and the fact that its viewed as anything less is nothing short of EVIL, the WHOLE queer community needs to get on the intersex hype train

[imjunebitch]

like I talk about this sometimes with trans women, where genuine and open expression of the attractiveness of trans women and their absolute fucking swag by people who are not themselves trans women is often viewed as Chaser Shit, even though it isn't, not necessarily, and for whatever reason, intersex people are hit with that times a billion idk, constantly spoken over and open positivity for intersex people from perisex allies is viewed as somehow being inherently fetishistic. nah fuck that dude, intersex people are fucking gorgeous and incredible dude sorry

Treating every download as a lost sale assumes that every downloader would otherwise have become a paying customer—an assumption that is not supported in every case.

One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that

Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today
