Having internet friends is an experience. Did you eat today? I can't believe your sister hasn't apologized yet, what a bitch. Drink a glass of water right now. Want to see a cat picture? I love you. I know you better than your parents. I don't know your name. I'm having a rough day, can you talk to me about your favorite videogame? I love you. Good morning means good night means good afternoon means go to sleep. Here's a doodle I made in class. I'm stealing your clothes as we speak, they're so pretty. I love you. I love your pet. What does your hair look like? I'd love to see that weird leaf. I love you. I'm making you your favorite food. Thank you for holding my secrets for me. I love you. We're having a coffe date. I love you. I'm giving you a screen-sized hug. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Just a reminder that we aren't gatekeeping Pride.

I know it's only April, but I just saw such a rancid take on Tiktok (and the person blocked me, woo!) That I need to vent somewhere.

The argument went "bi/pan/queer people with cishet partners shouldn't bring those partners into queer spaces/Pride because it makes those spaces unsafe for lgbt folks."

Which is a frankly awful take for many reasons.

First of all "makes a space unsafe" is not an identity. It is a behavior. And ANYONE who is making those spaces unsafe, regardless of their identity, *shouldn't be there.* Whether they are a cishet man or a lesbian, if you are making people unsafe, you shouldn't be there.

Secondly, it's blatantly unenforceable. You can't clock someone's identity at the door. You don't know if they are bi or trans or nonbinary. And no one should have to out themselves to a bouncer.

As a caveat to this, you also don't ever know *why* someone might bring their cishet partner to pride. Whether that's because this is an important part of their life they want to share with their partner, or they are disabled and need help managing their meds or mobility aides, or the partner is a designated driver. You just don't know. So even if you did know they were cishet, maybe they have a "good reason" for being there.

So between it not solving an actual problem to not being enforceable, all this discourse does is create an EXTREMELY hostile environment for, well, bi/pan/queer folks especially. Always. We always get targeted for this kind of stuff.

But also anyone who might worry that *they* aren't queer enough or not look queer enough. Trans folks who haven't socially transitioned, non-binary folks who aren't androgynous enough, ace and aro folks, people who are newly out- they see this rhetoric and think "Oh no. What is someone sees me and thinks I'm cishet? What if someone tells me I can't be there? What if I don't really belong?"

So we aren't doing it. It's shitty snd hostile and biphobic and exclusionary.

Everyone can come to pride.

Except cops.

Fuck cops.

Stuff in the Dragon Ball series that is entirely real and has happened

- When Goku met Bulma, the first thing she did was shoot him with a handgun - The moon has been destroyed twice - There is a king of the entire planet and he’s a dog - Vampires are real. Werewolves are real. Ghosts are real. Goku is considered a freak for having a tail for some reason - There was an evil mafia rabbit called the carrot master who turned people into carrots. Goku banished him to the moon; it is implied he died the first time the moon was destroyed - At one point yamcha was actually considered a threat - There was a whole arc about the red ribbon army trying to steal the dragon balls; it is revealed that the RR general wanted to use them to become taller - Characters such as Krillin, Tien and Yamcha are actually some of the most powerful humans in the world but literal space gods keep showing up and killing them - Goku’s cloud that he flies has also died twice - Every character ever shown on screen has died at least one time. Except for mr satan - Mr satan is actually a skilled martial artist by real-life standards, but he lives in a world where kung-fu lets you shoot beams - Muten Roshi is (mostly) immortal and will outlive most of the cast - The pilaf gang, one of the earliest villains in dragon ball, are brought back after the distruction of earth, implying that they’re so incompitent at villainy that porunga doesn’t consider them evil - beerus blew up the dinosaurs, then an archaeologist brought them back with the dragon balls - Directly before becoming God, kami-sama was apparently one of the most powerful mortals in the universe at the time - Before joining the good guys, vegeta was basically a space realtor - Piccolo jr is both the son of King Piccolo and his reincarnation - aka he’s slug jesus - Piccolo took over the world once, but since then so many people have tried to blow up earth that no one now recognises him - The fact that krillin doesn’t have a nose is a plot point in the first world marital arts tornumant - Goku can use the kamehameha with his feet - There is an all-powerful god of the universe, and Goku used time travel to clone him - Earth has an absurd amount of powerful beings, and the rest of space is largely lacking in powerful mortals, because most of the powerful extraterrestrials either came to earth and died, or got killed by vegeta - the dragon balls have been used more times during the course of this story than they were in all the years before the story starts, and it’s entirely bulma’s fault for inventing the dragon radar

Thinking about how my mom tried to “seduce” my dad when they were in college together by sneaking oranges into his backpack, because she grew up food insecure and feeding someone/sharing food was a big deal with her upbringing with a lot of emotional meaning–

and meanwhile my poor dad is just convinced that he’s been haunted by some citrus poltergeist because why the fuck are there always oranges in his bag he swears he did not put there???

Hey everyone, I'm beginning the process of diagnosing my chronic fatigue which makes functioning on a day to day basis very physically taxing for me. I have to see doctors and do blood work/testing, and the last time I did a full health work up in that way it was a big financial hit.

I may also be seeing a specialist/neurologist due to the severity of my symptoms and my family history of a central nervous system disease. Which is to say I do not know what is causing my issues but ideally specialists (which I'm grateful are available with expediency bc of family connection) will help me begin to figure that out. With this and groceries I believe I'd be looking at around needing help with $600. Thank you all so much, April also happens to be my birthday month if anyone is so inclined to help. ❤️
