the real reason howl kept his castle moving was tax evasion

[never-forget-viva-la-pluto]

This sounds like a joke but I read the book this is the literal reason

[thoodleoo]

concept: a mini-sphinx that sits on your counter and asks you riddles any time you try to get by her, and if you get the answer wrong she knocks a bunch of shit off the counter

[saltedweather]

Look, acquiring a mini-sphinx is a real commitment, and I’m tired of these irresponsible pet owners complaining that their mini-sphinx is refusing to let them get to their coffee without answering a riddle. 

You’re! Not! Providing! Enough! Enrichment!

An adult mini-sphinx needs a specific kind of enrichment, and if you haven’t provided her with a small treasure of some kind, she’s going to find her own! Have you been letting her devour appropriately-sized warriors? Have you given her a model town to periodically attack? Then you’d best either rehome that mini-sphinx, or get to a local expert for help.

[amatalefay]

okay but how do you get your mini-sphinx to stop repeating swear words at you? mine won’t stop calling me motherfucker

[askcosplaysenpai]

Stop being a motherfucker and she’ll have no reason

[girlhugger]

i swear yall need to watch spongebob docupants im dying 

[transsending]

this one death of that woman is suddenly going to count more than over 350,000 deaths from covid bc it's more politically convenient

[transsending]

"A woman died today!"

thousands of people died today from a virus you had the ability to help prevent! I'm not interested in turning some MAGA fucker into a martyr! stop doing it for them!

[advanced-procrastination]

The fact that she was maga trash isn’t even important. She was a terrorist. Like an actual terrorist. “She died” yeah, committing acts of terror. “She was a 14-year vet” cool, she was a 1-day terrorist. “She had a family” whom she abandoned to commit acts of terror. Keep the fuck up.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

[lythelia-art-deactivated2021071]

But queer is more inclusive

[a-tired-humanist]

And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.

[another-exclus]

It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you

[a-tired-humanist]

It’s called economía del lenguaje.

[throesofincreasingwonder]

It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.

Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.

Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.

[jabberwockypie]

“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”

Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?

I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.

[levynite]

queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid

[darthsuki]

[matronofthevoid]

every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.

[moki-dokie]

baby gays,,,, i beg of you to learn your queer history and stop listening to terf bullshit

every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.

terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.

we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

[calder]

and on a practical level, yall, trans women cannot say “im lgbt” to end dangerous conversations. stigmatizing the word queer IS insisting that trans women must always disclose. you cannot do the first without the second.

the word queer has never been unclean. gay men coined it in the 20’s and there’s nothing distinct about its use as a slur from the word “gay”. using “queer” vs “lgbt” as a litmus test of a stranger’s wokeness is EXTREMELY online behavior.

acting superior for being afraid of it is impressively childish. please act like adults and stop proudly, indignantly prioritizing your own linguistic discomfort over trans ppl’s physical safety.

and honestly, acting like a taxonomizing acronym is the only acceptable term for our community is so fucking backwards i don’t even know where to start

edit: if u reply to this to imply i simply havent been called queer in anger im going to bite your pineal gland until you can think harder. holy fuck the issue here is not that we arent also traumatized. we understand queer is still used as an insult you solipsistic fuck. individually rebuke every point in this post or fuck off

Luna, the leucistic (not albino) male screech owl

Leucism is a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment, not just melanin.
