I Will Not Go Quietly

Meg Chicago 1990 They/Them Weirdo Museum Nerd Hella Gay

[grandoptimist19]

What up. I'm Meg. I'm 33. And I never learned how to fucking blog.

Just your suburban Midwestern* trans butch dyke who listens to too many sad songs and confuses cis hets in bathrooms.

Been on 💉 since July 2021 and the euphoria is real--except for the ass hair.

Married the most brilliant, goofy, and incredibly talented smokeshow of a woman September 2022. Still have no idea how I pulled that off, but I am grateful for her every goddamn day.

My job is cooler than yours because I get to actually touch the stuff in museums. Only downside is I'm probably going to die from sulfur inhalation or making a snide comment about the military (I work in a military museum and now Google Ads are confused). I am currently unemployed after having to leave my dream job due to harassment and the toxic work environment.

Any NSFW is in my likes or is very mild and tagged sorry not sorry. All tags often used are below.

Lastly, but most importantly: fuck all cops, fuck all racists xenophobes and terfs, fuck capitalism, and fuck your mum. Just be a decent human; it's actually not that hard.

On this day, 14 October 1977, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was “pied” in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. Bryant, who was already well-known as a singer, led Save Our Children, a homophobic campaigning group which successfully overturned legal protections for LGBT+ people in Dade County, Florida. Bryant had declared about homosexuality: “I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.” After being pied, Bryant burst into tears and began praying. Bryant was also brand ambassador for Florida orange juice, which then became subjected to a mass boycott campaign. Gay bars replaced screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice cocktails) with “Anita Bryants” – made with vodka and apple juice, with the profits donated to the campaign. Bryant’s lucrative orange contract subsequently lapsed and her marriage failed, which caused her to be ostracised by some Christian fundamentalists who did not approve of her divorce. Later in life, Bryant’s homophobic views softened, and she stated she was “more inclined to say live and let live”. In 1998, Dade County reintroduced legal protections for LGBT+ people, and efforts by Christian groups to overturn them failed. We’ve produced a number of podcasts about LGBT+ history, you can check them out here: https://workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/ https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.1819457841572691/2109212745930531/?type=3

The host is asking Miss Rhode Island questions.

The host says, “Describe your perfect date.”

Miss Rhode Island responds with, “That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.”

I need everyone to repeat after me: "The people of the past were just as intelligent as people are today. Just because they didn't have our modern technology doesn't mean they weren't capable of building or making incredible things. "

intimacy is not just experienced through sex. it's crying together. it's whispering late at night. it's talking about growing up and what used to scare you. it's going places that remind you of your childhood. it's feeling each other without touching. it's exchanging energy.
