Some People Laugh I Suppose @deadboydetectivez - Tumblr Blog

Will never see eye-to-eye with anyone less than the people who treat their pets like wandering ronin instead of valued family members. Like oh there goes Bronson our uncollared, chipless chocolate lab out of the permanently open back door again. If he comes home in three days after subsisting on garbage we'll be mildly thrilled to see him again but if he succumbs to his natural predator, the 2006 Toyota Camry, that's just the circle of life

there are actually only 2 movie genres. the ones where u have to remain completely silent throughout the whole film, and the ones where u have to comment on whatevers happening on screen every 5 minutes

dearqueerdeers

might i suggest a third genre: you have to PAUSE it every 20 minutes to discuss in detail what u just witnessed

A supportive parent in the 50s ran a boarding house for gay men and hosted dinner parties for her son and all his friends and people think that's adult content.

Info dump time:

This magazine. This shit is such a cool piece of history. This is a letter a woman sent to the guest ever openly gay and lesbian magazine in the US. ONE was revolutionary, and so many people wrote to them! From all over North America. And those letters are archived and an amazing person named Joshua Irving Gershick compiled an array of these letters into a script called Dear ONE:

It's a phenomenal piece of queer history. Straight supportive parents, closeted queers, 17 yr old looking to meet men, worldly bisexual polyamorists, stealth trans folk, dishonorably discharged gay veterans, cishet threats letters (anon hate), happily "married" gay people, letters from Black and other POC describing their intersectional experiences, and so much more. This collection is like touching the thoughts of queer people I'll never get to meet, but that I know. These letters are incredibly humanizing and one if the big steps towards are wider connected queer community in the 50s and 60s. This magazine gave people advice and legal help for being persecuted by systemic homophobia.

Im.so glad to see this in circulation. When this play and playwright (!!!) came to my workplace I was lucky enough to stage manage the shortened production that toured in middle and high schools (in spring 2022). It was pretty amazing to watch young folk connect to these letters. Not to mention getting to sit and chat with the playwright as a trans queer elder.

Anyway that's why queer archiving is so so important and valuable. Its connects us to the pieces of queer history that we lose connection to, because of active queerphobia and erasing of history, and because of the culture gap left by the AIDS crisis.

Dear ONE: thank you for being the safe space our elders needed. Thank you for being bold and helping our community.

The people that think trans people want to force people to have sex with us have the same energy as those people in the early 2010s who seemed to think that if gay marriage was made legal they’d be forced into a lesbian sex colony against their will or something

what-even-is-thiss

Stop asking about the lesbian sex colony. It doesn’t exist.

Idc about taylor swift and I think all private jets should be cannibalized for scrap metal but in particular I don’t think singers and bands etc should have private jets. They should only have shitty tour buses in which incalculable drama and bad decisions go down

i literally do not care if you are pro-birth and thinking - this will save babies! it will not. it will kill, injure, and traumatize grown adults instead.

the law has just decided that constitutional rights to bodily autonomy will be localized. this is not a fucking win for anyone. there will be places in this country that your bodily autonomy will be revoked.

how are people going to travel? will i have to prove i'm not pregnant before leaving my state? will they have border checks to check i'm not a "likely" candidate for an abortion? will i have to travel with a man to prove i'm being safe?

what happens if i get pregnant in a state that has made abortion illegal? do i need to stay there, now, until the forced birth? what happens if i didn't know i was pregnant, and find out in that state - will i be allowed to go home without fear of being fined? what happens if i miscarry while travelling, through no fault of my own?

will every person that might be able to get pregnant have to sign over their rights every time they cross a border? will i have to remember the specifics of every state's laws?

what happens in cases of sexual assault. will i be able to report something happening to me in an anti-abortion state? or will the punishment for abortion be equally dangerous? how does this protect victims at all?

and do you really think - i mean really think - this won't be an excuse for police offices to run fucking unchecked over anyone. we could be pregnant, after all. black women and minorities specifically will be targeted, abused, and controlled.

the supreme court didn't just decide that abortion was a state issue: it decided that your locality in the united states of america will determine your physical rights.

fuck this. and fuck the supreme court, one and all.
