GAY 🦇 SUMMER BABEY!!!!!!!!
Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year
"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade
At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
I am making a VERY big point of the Ally flag in all my pride stuff at work.
Feel awkward about people maybe thinking you’re queer but still want to clearly signal “queers are okay with me”? SURE. LOVE IT. HERE’S YOUR WEIRD FLAG.
Don’t fucking at me about allies right now, they are ALSO actually getting fucking killed over us. Take your puri-gay shitty tent somewhere else mine is great with people’s cishet friends and relatives showing up to have our backs.
(“but what if they -“ shitty behavior is shitty behavior I don’t care if you INVENTED queer sex, if you’re acting like a douche i’ll kick you out. wanna act decent and accept the premises of queer coexistence and freedom, cool, i’m not judging you for feeling ok with the gender title they gave you in the delivery room or being attracted to people with the other standard issue title, grab a pop).
Agreed, and also what the hell is is going to take for people to recognize that there are cishet queers? Intersex, asexual, and aromantic people are queer, it's exclusionary to be using cishet as a synonym for nonqueer.
needed to draw something to make me happy : ]
I was thinking of a pride art challenge people could do with their OCs, because I thought it'd be cute! A queer/trans artist with their creations.
but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

Of all of the issues with claiming a non service animal is a service animal, one I've been reminded of recently is the allergen risk.
I have a pretty bad animal dander allergy. If an animal brushes against my leg and I touch that part of my clothing and then my face, my face and airways will swell and I'll start audibly wheezing. If I touch my eyes they swell to the point I can't see.
Several times in the last few months I've had "service animals" jump on me/my wheelchair, press against me, or try to get me to pet them. Its happened in places only service animals are allowed. Every time this has happened the animal has been near the full range of its leash and looking away from its owner (who is talking to someone else and doesn't notice their animal is getting all over me).
When this happens I need to keep track of where the animal touched me, take a Benadryl if there's any risk it's gotten near my face/airways, and immediately wash that clothing when I get home so I don't experience anaphylaxis. If I can't do laundry then that clothing is quarantined for weeks on end, until I can eventually wash it.
Service animals do not act this way. Even in training the handler is aware enough of them to keep them close and off of other people. A service animal that is not focused on or even near its owner is failing at its job and not ready to work, never mind in sensitive places like doctors offices. The handlers I know irl have had better behaved months old puppies when it comes to this, unlike the adult dogs who've tried to get their paws in my lap.
These have not been situations where the animal is trying to get my attention to help its handler. These have been situations where the owner has been acting like a typical pet owner in places where only service animals are allowed. They are making the active choice to endanger me and other people with animal dander allergies, including people who have more severe allergies than me.
characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."
This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.
Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.
most fantasy books or fics i’ve read that contained a desert biome fell back on real world prejudice and misconceptions in place of authentic worldbuilding for a place and people, and it is so telling that the trope seems to repeat itself
things like
the desert as a lifeless wasteland where ‘life is crushed underneath the shifting sands and blazing sun’ blah blah blah. deserts are full of life and they are beautiful and people have lived and prospered in them for eons. please read a book
the desert as an ugly or barren terrain where everything is harsh and threatening
the desert as something scary
the inhabitants as backwards religious zealots
the men as overly violent and oppressive
the inhabitants in need of outside instruction/intervention, i.e. “civilizing the savage”
the “harem” and women as exotic, sensual, mysterious
writing tribalism with no knowledge of how tribes actually function
djinn (or for the westerners, genies)
Islam Lite (the aesthetics or spiritual practices appropriated and stripped of meaning)
sprinkling random arabic words for ✨flavor✨instead of expanding your worldbuilding to include language as well
clothing as oppressive or mysterious, instead of serving its actual purpose (protecting you from the elements, which should be obvious but i guess it isn’t. covering your skin keeps you cooler and safer in most deserts)
people who live in deserts as ignorant, superstitious, uneducated
this isn’t worldbuilding, it’s just ignorance and bigotry
