[iwonthepageant]

i love being a millenial so much. i love it. i love taking pictures of everything. i love texting my sister when she’s in the room next to me. i love snapchatting my friends when they’re sitting next to me. i love taking selfies with everything. i’ll go on instagram in public all i want. i’ll put everything on my snapchat story. i don’t fucking care. cute dog? posting it. drink i just got? posting it. favorite song just came on the radio? posting the Fuck out of it. and you bet your Ass i’m gonna put all the filters i need on it. do you know how many friends i’ve made bc of social media? so many. and it pisses adults off so much. i love it. i love being born in this time. god bless america.

concept: i die in my twenties and i’m left in a field and strangers come and leave flowers and sleep by my side and mutilate my corpse and carve poorly-drawn dicks and “__ was here” into my skin like they do on bathroom stalls and bus station walls. i don’t ever rot, my skin stays intact as if i were alive. my wounds heal themselves, i am a fresh corpse by the start of every month. i’m a local icon. middle-school kids whisper amongst themselves about the body in the field that doesn’t decompose, daring their friends to pay me a visit, poke me with a stick and run off screaming. the possessive types get real mad when they realize they can’t leave a permanent mark on me, start coming with their power drills and chainsaws. but i always regenerate. no damage lasts. i am the body in the field, i am here for everyone, and no one can claim me.

This is so tragic and horrific. Another justice fighter who’s life was cut short by a domestic terrorist. Rest in power, British Labour Party politician, Jo Cox.

Coming back to tumblr and just flicking through feels soothing. Sometimes like to pretend I'm 14 and my major worries included whether the gif I painstakingly edited together to show me sticking my fingers up for my blog would get me the attention I wanted. Life is a lot harder now. I still don't really know how to make high quality gifs.

Everyone who is going to any Pride event this month please, please stay safe. Make sure that you have an action plan of somewhere to meet up in the instance that there is an emergency. Make sure you have numbers of those who you can contact in the even that you have to. Make sure that you ALWAYS tell someone where you’re at if you have to split the group up. I’m absolutely repulsed that I have to say something like this, but its come down to it. You don’t know what kind of people are going to be at Pride and try and pull something stupid. Please stay safe you guys.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you have to deal with such awful biphobic people, but also thank you for taking the time reply to it despite the fact that those people deserve none of your time. Your response really resonated with me and I'm sure a lot of other bi people out there. Sending positive thoughts your way x

Hey! Yeah I don’t come on here a huge amount anymore, so I think that inbox has sat there a while. Weirdly I feel like the community on here is more biphobic than it ever was when I was on here a lot. It breaks my heart to think of younger people who are as unsure as I was at 15, reading things like that and thinking they don’t deserve a safe space in a community that’s meant to protect them from people who say such vile things. 

Your support means the world to me, hopefully other bi women will see this and know they don’t have to put up with this bullshit! <3

hey i think the reason why people get a little annoyed at bisexual people in straight relationships is because of the enormous amount of privilege they get from that relationship, while also claiming the label 'queer'. Living life in a heteronormative way while also wanting to claim a marginalised identity can cause a lot of queer people who live in a non normative lifestyle to feel a bit.. frustrated? annoyed? i guess. at least that's how i see it

But I’m not “wanting to claim a marginalised identity”… I am queer. I love women, I’ve had intimate relationships with women, I could have intimate relationships with women in the future. I understand the concept of “straight passing” privilege (and accept that walking down the street anonymously with my boyfriend, I have it), but almost everyone I know, knows that I’m not straight. When I see and hear homophobic things happening, or when I think about homophobic actions and words directed towards myself in the past… The hurt from that doesn’t go away just because I’m holding hands with someone who identifies as a man.

This stereotype that bisexual people are liars and pretending just to work their way into a community is so horrifically offensive and damaging to so many people all over the world. What do we have to do to prove ourselves? Just reject our own wants and pretend we’re gay so you’ll accept us? Like, how people pretend they’re straight for acceptance? Like I did in school? That’s not who I am, I love my boyfriend and I want to be with him right now, but I’m not straight. 

Do you want to know what it feels like to be unwelcome in heteronormative society and unwelcome in LGBTQ society? It feels like sitting and reading things like this with a lump in my throat on a Friday night, and it feels like wishing I was either gay or straight, like wishing I could change the sexual identity that it’s taken me so long to accept and understand. Funny, because that’s how homophobes make me feel as well.

Why do you pretend to be 'queer' to get exhibition space?

I’m assuming this anger is directed at me because I’m currently in a relationship with a man. Really biphobic, nice one. I’m not sure whether you want me to round up women I’ve been with to recount my romantic/sexual exploits or what. No idea why I even feel like I have to reply but it is literally so hard for bisexual women to be accepted in queer spaces. Thank you for making it feel even harder. 

Also literally can’t think of any exhibition space I’ve used that’s had anything to do with my sexuality. Like I have never curated an exhibition or even been in an exhibition which is purely about sexuality. It’s cool that you reduce queer people to that and ignore all other factors.
