ANOTHER ED!!!!
mandatory beach episode.
hey fully vaxxed (american) people ur still gonna like. wear a mask right. on account of thereâs no visual indicator that ur vaccinated. and on account of u wanna give service workers and nonvaxxed people peace of mind when ur interacting with them. and on account of vaccines arenât 100 percent effective. and on account of so many antimaskers and antivaxxers are gonna lie and say theyâre vaccinated so they can not wear one and then ur at an even higher risk. yknow. on account of vaccines arenât 100 percent effective.
Correct.

Itâs black history month, so hereâs a few black wlw from history!
Stormé Delavarie, activist involed in the Stonewall Riots (1920 - 2014)
Josephine Baker, performer, civil rights activist and World War 2 spy (1906 - 1975)
Audre Lorde, writer and activist (1934 - 1992)
Gladys Bentley, singer and performer (1907 - 1960)
Bessie Smith, blues singer (1894 - 1937)
Lorraine Hansberry, author and playwright (1930 - 1965)
Black lesbians and bisexual women are and always have been absolutely instrumental to the LGBTQ community, and we owe them so much.
HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Sleeps without nightmares are a lot better, donât you think?
a 10 minute request from your local student rabbi for International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2020
Hi all,
I have a request of you as we approach the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz.  I care very deeply about education on the suffering of others and care that we all work hard to learn and grow together to build a brighter world. It will only take you ten minutes, and will help you to make the world a better place. Please reblog this message and make it go viral.
#1) For Five Minutes: Learn something new about the Holocaust from the American Holocaust History Museum or Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. It will take you five minutes to learn something new. Do your part in remembering by learning about the travesty which murdered six million members of my collective Jewish family and in total about eleven million members of our collective human family. Please make time either now or in the future to watch a testimony from a survivor. It will only take you five minutes to learn something new about the Holocaust so we can continue to work to make a world where every human being feels safeâ especially the Jewish People within this context.
#2) For Five Minutes: Learn about a marginalized group that faces oppression today. Learn about antisemitism- and if your politics leads you to criticize the State of Israel, learn to do so without being antisemitic. Learn about disability advocacy and how we can create a society that is no longer abelist. Learn about transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia and bi-erasure. Learn about your biases. Understand how you might be Islamophobic or hold certain understandings of society that might be considered racist. It will only take you five minutes to make the world a brighter place for others.
Thank you for your ten minutes friends.Â
lâshalom,
Josh
The same goes for this year. Just ten minutes.

âwell, hello fellow hunker-downers! coming to you high on halfâa ambien, my doctor prescribes 10mg for when i canât sleep and i get so wound up over all this but i only take a half otherwise iâll eat everything in the house, but look- another way i calm down is i write in my journal! and i put little stickers- [chuckling] i decorate- iâm a high school cheerleader stuck in a 65 year old male body⊠my violette stickers came today, LOOK!! arenât they beautiful? i think i fell outta the womb and landed in my motherâs high heels. i just like things pretty, i think thatâs why homosexuals were put on this earth, just to make things pretty! rabbits!!â
itâs the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
you can only reblog this today.
If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.
Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.
To add some more:
Navajo/Hopi Covid Relief Fund
Critical Resistance, working to dismantle the prison industrial complex and abolish the police
The Queer Detainee Empowerment Project
National Indigenous Womenâs Resource Center, working to end violence against indigenous women and children and provide resources for the MMIW campaign
Sunrise Movement, a youth-led political campaign pushing the Green New Deal and climate legislation
Industrial Workers of the World. Unions.
And of course itâs always a good day to venmo, paypal, or cashapp black, indigenous and other POC in your community, or donate to your community mutual aid fund.
Mutual Aid Disaster Relief
The International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund (and you can get some rad stickers and other merch from it too)
RIP Medical Debt - this oneâs cool, they buy medical debt in the same way debt collectors do (for much much less than the value of the debt) and then simply forgive it. What that means is every dollar you donate erases $100 of debt. You canât ask for a better value than that
Like, people who identify as Queer know the word is used like a slur. Trust me, we know.
So when we say âqueer is a slurâ was started by terfs, maybe use some critical thinking and try to understand what we mean. That is, if you actually care about queer people and the damage terfs do, rather that just screaming âqueer is a slur!â and ignoring the actual point.
Terfs did not like that queer was reclaimed. End of. This is a fact. Queer was too broad, too accepting, and embraced all the people they wanted gone. And I know y'all exclusionists feel the same but get pissed when we point it out so you deny it, but sit down and listen for a minute.
Queer was the preferred term for poc. For bisexuals. For trans people. For people with multiple identities. It neatly encapsulated everything, and was a friendly community to those who felt thrown under the bus by mainstream LGBT activism. It was a political and social statement, âyou treated my like I was different and weird, and guess what? I am and thatâs something to be proud of.â
So the response? âYou canât use that word. Its bad. Its a slur.â
And at the time, a lot of people rolled their eyes. Everyone knew why they didnât like the word and brushed that off. It was fine.
So they started more subtly. âJust so you know this word is very harmful and is a slur so be careful how you use it :))) in case you didnât know :)))) its a slur :))) friendly reminder :))) for the sake of other people of course :))))â type shit on every post involving the word, including and especially posts simply mentioning self identification.
Always worded in friendly, concerned ways, like the derailment was meant to be nice and considerate, and not about normalizing their rhetoric.
And what happened because of that was a younger generation of community kids growing up with these statements being thrown at them and absorbed on every. Single. Post. That. Mentionioned. Queer.
The result? That same generation of kids cutting it all short, removing the meant-to-be-palatable niceness, to just say âqueer is a slur.â
Exactly how it was originally intended. âQueer is a slur.â People drop on posts where young queer people talk about it being a self identifier that actually fits them. âIts a slur,â they comment, with nothing else, on posts they clearly didnât read past that word, written by people twice their age who had reclaimed it before they were even born.
Its nasty. Its disgusting. Itâs plain old bigotry, whether the people saying know it or not. It is a terf tactic, plain and simple.
And no one wants to deny that it is indeed used as a slur (right along with all the rest of our identities.) No one wants to be insensitive and force it on people who havenât reclaimed it.
But invading queer peopleâs posts to spit âqueer is a slurâ is flat out queerphobic. You do the dirty work of terfs, of cis straight oppressors, by saying in one simple sentence: âits a dirty word, there is no pride in it, you havenât/canât reclaim(ed) it.â
And regardless of your actual intentions, when you do this, that is EXACTLY what you are communicating and doing.
âQueer is a slurâ is a terf movement. Stop fucking supporting terfs just because you want to pretend like it isnât.
This is why I block people who say âQueer is a slur.âÂ
You quack like a terf, I block you like a terf.Â
This thing was so weird to me when I first encountered it on tumblr, because like⊠in academia
queer studies
 is a thing. Queer Theory is a thing. If I search my Uniâs library for âqueerâ I get 138,481 results. Here are some of them:Â
Queer in Europe : contemporary case studies / edited by Lisa Downing and Robert Gillett.
Queer Phenomenology, Sexual Orientation, and Health Care Spaces: Learning From the Narratives of Queer Women and Nurses in Primary Health Care, / Cressida Heyes, Megan Dean, Lisa Goldberg.
Playing With Time: Gay Intergenerational Performance Work and the Productive Possibilities of Queer Temporalities / Stephen Farrier
Postcolonial and queer theories : intersections and essays / edited by John C. Hawley.
Queer Dickens : erotics, families, masculinities / Holly Furneaux.
Showing Your Pride: A National Survey of Queer Student Centres in Canadian Colleges and Universities /Â John Ecker, Jennifer Rae, Amandeep Bassi
Mad for Foucault : rethinking the foundations of queer theory / Lynne Huffer.
Do those look like queerphobic texts? And do you think that most of the writers writing about queer theory are straight? Lols. If you donât want to be personally be called queer, thatâs cool. You donât get to stop other people using the word though. Itâs ours now and weâre keeping it.
Did I reblog this already? If I did, doesnât hurt to blog it again. I usually unfollow people who use the tag (or the equilivant) q-slur. Because fuck you, Iâm queer. Have been since like 1986.
queer was mlm slang/code in the 18th and 19th centuries, turned into a slur in the 20th century
when we say it was reclaimed, we mean it was reclaimedÂ
Perfect spot
