Would it be considered “gay” to go for a walk in the evening?

[ialreadyknewthat]

my dog trying to convince me to take her outside

[transwalterdecourcey]

when are they going to make a tv show about two women fucking all the time. that is also sponsored by the canadian government

[ialreadyknewthat]

my favorite thing to do is tell people i actually like country music bc i’m like a woke riot grrrl teenage lesbian. people only think of redneck country and they miss out on old country. old country is between the folk and the blues and maybe it’s just my family, but willie nelson and emmylou harris and johnny cash will always feel like coming home.

[ialreadyknewthat]

lazy together?

lazy together.

[ialreadyknewthat]

literally the only byler proof i need is that i genuinely don’t know if i’ve ever seen a better portrayal of how it feels to be Down Bad Gay Style (trust me i’m an expert) than finn’s acting in seasons 4 and 5 vol 1.

[sunflowersand-bees]

okay here is my byler the cure edit that I could’ve spent a million more hours on but I didn’t want to!!!!!!!

guys if one more person leaves a tag like this on my post im gonna lose my mind. There Are Science Fiction Authors Who Are Not Misogynistic Men

[remnantglow]

ok i’ve gotten one too many ‘this is why i don’t read sci-fi’ comments so here’s a rec list for the people convinced all science fiction is bad and misogynistic (with something for everyone, hopefully!):

(also, btw, the book links are to the Storygraph, which includes content warnings for each one!)

smth funny and lighthearted about a security robot who’d rather watch TV then do its job? all systems red by martha wells (first novella in the The Murderbot Diaries series, 6 books, ongoing)

a complex, intricate political space opera following a warship AI who’s lost (almost) everything? ancillary justice by ann leckie (first in the Imperial Radch trilogy) (fun fact! bc of space linguistics reasons, all characters in this series are referred to with she/her pronouns, making gender a non-factor - it’s really cool!)

a dark story about travelling between parallel universes and a woman who is dead in almost every single one? the space between worlds by micaiah johnson (standalone) (SO good, i don’t get to recommend it often enough!!!)

a story about grief and letting go, and a unique take on alien invasion? the seep by chana porter (standalone novella)

hey, how abt some dystopian YA, for old times sake? specifically, one with sapphics and sick mechas? try gearbreakers by zoe hana mikuta (first in duology)

or, if you’d prefer something a bit less angsty, YA about a ragtag group of teens and a space heist? the disasters by m. k. england (standalone)

alternate history steampunk that blurs the line btwn science fiction and fantasy? the black god’s drums by p. djeli clark (standalone, novella)

a dark gone girl-esque thriller about clones? the echo wife by sarah gailey (standalone)

poetic sapphic romance and time travel? this is how you lose the time war by max gladstone and amal el-mohtar (standalone)

a hopeful utopian future and a human-robot friendship? a psalm for the wild-built by becky chambers (novella, first out of two) (this author’s got a whole bunch of hopepunk sci-fi novels in general, if that’s smth you’re looking for!)

africanfuturism, coming-of-age, and cool jellyfish aliens? binti by nnedi okorafor (novella, first in trilogy)

spicy lesbian cyborgs? and shall machines surrender my benjanun sriduangkaew (novella, first in the Machine Mandate series, 6 books)

cosmic horror with an autistic scientist, cyborg angels and AI gods? the outside by ada hoffmann (first in trilogy, 2 books are out)

also, if you’re a fan of Janelle Monáe, may i draw your attention to the fact that they’ve recently come out with a Dirty Computer short story collection, each story co-written with a diff writer?

this list is long enough, but have some more authors (who are not cis men) also worth checking out: rivers solomon, yoon ha lee, charlie jane anders, aliette de bodard, xiran jay zhao, mary robinette kowal, corinne duyvis

and finally, not all older/classic scifi is written by crusty old white guys who hate women!!! some iconic authors i’d particularly recommend looking into are ursula k. le guin, octavia e. butler, samuel r. delany and vonda n. mcintyre 🥰

[inimitablebiscuit]

Becky Chambers and Jay Kristoff (both singly and united) are a pair of my partner’s favourite authors. Ann Leckie is another of their modern faves.

Btw if you read Philip k. Dick you’ll see that he hates the lads too. Full misanthropy going on there (e.g. leave men alone and they’ll decide that killer robots is the way to go and now almost all the last of humanity is stuck in a single space station)

[ialreadyknewthat]

the disasters is one of my all time favorites, it’s one of the most fun books i’ve ever read. this is how we lose the time war was mysterious and beautiful.

sci fi is already disrespected by the non-nerd community, don’t let them get away with telling you there’s a “good” reason for it!

[pendragonstarz]

hey you, yes you, person that relates to mike wheeler, i see you. and i understand how you feel. you are not a terrible person btw. i just want you to know that.

[simply-a-dream]

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

[ialreadyknewthat]

think it’s so funny when people hate on mike wheeler bc it always catches me off guard despite constantly being misunderstood by almost everyone around me and relating to mike wheeler more than any other character ever but i’m still always like ??? he’s the most character what’s not to get?

[ialreadyknewthat]

the closest i can get to understanding people who are chronically late is that i also. always think they’re going to be on time.

[manuciruja]

I think it's insane that even in the most leftist and "progressive" spaces the idea of equating morality with looks is alive and present and no one fucking bats an eye at it. like racists and mysoginysts are always portrayed as fat and hairy and generally unkept, as a contrast to the morally good and attractive leftists of course; people will have no problem being genuinely fucking awful about someone's appearance if they're deemed to be a "bad person". and the worst part is you point all of this out and people act like you're reading too much into things like no dude you gotta start using your brain more

[ialreadyknewthat]

this actually drives me nuts because if they’re already a bad person just shit on them about that, no need to bring their appearance into it. and if you do bring their appearance into it you’re definitely going to hurt someone who isn’t a bad person and just also looks like that.

[donniehaspronouns]

this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.

[donniehaspronouns]

you. you get it.

[ialreadyknewthat]

hell yeah. anti-booter for life
