the queer community is centered around art and language for diverse identities, and the fight to preserve it. in this essay i will-

intersexfairy

we're a subculture. a counterculture. we're not an exclusive club that you need to have the right Feelings or Words or Experiences to join. all it really takes is a willingness to be part of the culture.

to learn the language. to respect the people and their arts. to be cognizant of how in every subculture, the more dominant cultures in peoples lives affect their experiences within said subculture. not everyone is going to be the same, but you will always find something in common if you look - otherwise, you wouldn't be part of the same subculture.

i honestly see no sense in policing identity by community status and community status by identity. it's completely circular reasoning that only serves to uphold queerphobia and the boxes all of us have been shredded into.

the reason more terms keep getting created or altered is because sometimes subcultures expand over time. they test things out. new language, new art. some things become tradition, some things don't, and that's fine. doesn't mean the uncommon language or art doesn't matter.

language = identity terminology, colloquial terms, names, etc. art = queer expression (flags, drag, fashion, literature, movies, etc)

I don't understand why, any time we have no way of knowing whether or not something has an internal experience, the assumption is "It doesn't, so I can treat it like shit," and not "I should just err on the side of being nice to this thing, since it costs me nothing."

Like, by default, you should even be treating inanimate objects nicely. Because things last longer when you treat them nicely. Because pointlessly destroying things leads to dire outcomes we cannot predict. Because holy shit, just have some fucking respect for the world around you already!!!

I want to survive this world and to see the next one! But if I don't then may it be peaceful

May this world become peaceful. May that world stay peaceful

For all the days here to come, may we be kind to our true selves.

thinkin about those BEANS

#i am as always when deer are at play concerned for the context of the pic because engaging with deer is just Like That in this society #a topic which i am growing more and more obsessed with each passing day #deer

i feel very convinced that where I have gone wrong in the past is trying to present an illusion of who i am to both others and myself. for example, acting like i know what's going on and had already learned everything i want to know seemed to be a valuable mask, but living in it really burned me out. so it's like hmmmm

it's been very challenging to learn how to drop that, because since i was a very small chile i've been putting on comfortable affectations. it's become important instead to fall back on the big things, like femininity and an abiding love of light and sound

i put myself into a stall when i let myself stop being obsessed with sound for the sake of comfort, and instead of being straightforward about it and connecting authentically, continued to engage with other sound-obsessed people as if i were an unchanging character. i mean that's such a pattern, alongside the sharp avoidance of the unknown, that i could trace it back pretty far, but hey! it's been all i've known, because oughh. i never really had a chance to live without feeling like i couldn't trust other people with my embarrassing Feelings Secrets, and instead i prevaricated and professed to be fine, then took those feelings to my little nest and talked them out with myself, the flawed and silly solitary voice of wisdom privy to my thoughts so HMMMM yeah.... that scans

anyway, all of this is a hopefully healthy realization to have better late than not at all!

Not sure if people outside of Minnesota are aware, but 🧊 was at Roosevelt High School yesterday & dispensed mace and pepper balls at students, faculty & parents. Three people were abducted as well. It’s not really making the news right now because of yesterday’s events.

Please share if you can, people need to know that these agents aren’t above harming TEENAGERS.

Not only teenagers, little kids. A friend’s coworker had her 7 and 9 year old siblings abducted from the school playground. The 7 YO has been missing for 3 days. Her family still doesn’t know where she is. They’re worried she was taken out of state
