Indulge In Some Whimsy, Its Good For You

I’m Sage (they/them)— my gender is if Milo Thatch was in Stranger Things and was also your grandma

[mxmuskratism]

Howdy friends, enemies, and my beloved mutuals 🫶

I’m Sage, they/them please; I’ve thought forever that I need a Proper Pinned Post, so, *welcome to my humble abode*

(My username has a backstory, I love muskrats as an animal and it’s related to an old inside joke from a group chat, it is NOT an endorsement of our dictator’s evil ex boyfriend)

I’m Autistic + ADHD + CPTSD, I write poetry when I have the brainpower, and I’m a triple threat of queerness (and I’m posting bout all of em)

aromantic (quoiromantic if we’re being niche)

demisexual + bi/pan (typically say bi because I think the flag colors are better)

nonbinary (agender with a bit of flux)

(With polyamory thrown in there as a bonus, for *pizazz*— more relationship Anarchy than anything else— I currently have a beloved spouse, two QueerPlatonic Partners whom I love dearly, one bestie-that-might-turn-into-A-Thing, and friends and friends and friends who don’t have different labels but they’re my world)

Fandoms I’m into that you may see content about

Dropout & Friends

Wicked (movie and book)

Musicals, generally,

Heartstopper + the Osemanverse

Agatha All Along

Phineas and Ferb

American Girl

Psych

AND MORE (I forget what else I like

(Sammy Rae & The Friends is my favorite band, seen them in concert twice, and I don’t have any tattoos but I’ve decided that if I ever do, it’ll be lyrics and art from this song specifically)

I am also a progressive Christian-agnostic (grew up strict Apostolic Pentecostal) who is quite involved at my ELCA Lutheran church (on the church board, I do puppet ministry occasionally, I preach, and I’m starting the SAM program and will likely eventually do the TEEM program/go to seminary properly). I’m a big super nerd about niche theology concepts, especially Open and Relational Process theology a la Tom Oord, so please ask me questions about that!

Also, when I say I’m a Christian, it’s really in a deconstructed quasi-agnostic way that’s much closer to humanism and much more distant from fundamentalism. I only want to talk faith with people who WANT to talk about it, and I’m certainly not wanting to try and convert anybody, I like atheists and I understand why they are atheists. I get it. Maybe I’ll be an atheist someday; I’m not certain there is a god or if they’re the way I think of them, but for right now I believe in a higher consciousness/ground of being (not omnipotent) whose primary characteristic is love/care, who animates life in all forms and is constantly working in partnership, in real time, with all of creation to create a more loving and just world.

Maybe that’s a light sauce, but it works for me. And I know there are other religions and faith traditions I could get those beliefs through, and I think they’re really cool and I want to learn more about them. And also it feels really meaningful and special to me to take something that both shaped me and harmed me, and participate with other folks on a similar journey to upcycle it into something fresh and good.

Right now I’m in a congregation that feels very vibrant and is using those theological foundations to do genuine good in the community, like be a safe haven for queer people and partner with mutual aid groups. So. This slays and I love it.

(I love being mainline now but good freskin heck the music just… feels dehydratingly bland after growing up with the bassiest most orchestral gospel music possible. The unsingable Lutheran hymns can’t hold a candle to this 😭)

There shall be memes, there shall be observances of the Tumblr Holidays

There will be 18+ content, but I try to keep overtly NSFT stuff to one of my side blogs (which goes unnamed here), but I’d appreciate if minors DNI, whatever, at your own risk buddies 😌

I tag my original posts as #Sage Says, and whenever I post outfits and fashion thoughts I tag those as #Sage Styles

Happy Tumblring!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈

To all of us who’re just a mess ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎

[zoomy-brain]

Oh boy, this is getting notes again!

Hi, everyone, enjoy the little cartoon, avoid the notes and yes, I still fully identify as queer c: 🏳️‍🌈

[wizardarchetypes]

when i was a little kid (age 8 and on) i had 3 veryyy intense special interests i constantly infodumped about to anyone who gave me the time of day. these were:

The Bubonic Plague

Vampire Folklore

Tree frogs.

So as you can imagine my mom spent many years prepping me for social outings by doing a call-and-response litany with me that went "let's focus on tree frogs tonight. let's tell people about tree frogs."

[wizardarchetypes]

pov you are an unsuspecting adult at a social function who made the mistake of talking to me like i'm a person for 37 seconds and now you're going to learn everything about vlad the impaler from an enraptured third grader

What most people think the challenges of polyamory are: jealousy, lack of commitment, insecurity.

What better-informed people think the challenges of polyamory are: calendar management, social stigma.

What the challenges of polyamory actually are: when your husband and your lover bond over classical music, and your lover suggests to your husband that he would really enjoy Stravinsky. And it turns out your husband does really enjoy Stravinsky, but unfortunately with the exception of the opening bit of Firebird, which is OK, you fucking hate Stravinsky. And the background music of your life is Stravinsky for months on end because your husband loves Stravinsky now. So even when the three of you meet up together it turns into Stravinsky Fan Club Time. Plus a third wheel of you.

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

[hungry-skeleton]

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing

[hungry-skeleton]

This image is so so fucking important to me

[hungry-skeleton]

Reblog this, cowards

[l-heure-du-the]

Chiming in with my copy of a french book from 1975 that specifically mentions "asexuate, bisexual, or homosexual" people.

Adding the cover and reference, in case someone's interested. It's not really about queer people, as it's a book about the history of Women's Rights, but it does aknowledge our existence.

[paranormal-paracosm]

Humans should cuddle pile. It’s actually CRAZY that we don’t cuddle in groups for warmth or comfort like so many other species do. What do you MEAN sleeping together is only for monogamous sexual couples?? We’re biologically coded to DIE in infancy if we aren’t held. We need to be held more. This is so stupid.

Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.

[rahatlin]

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

[shadysadie]

sorry, I'm busy for the next 8 hours

[drdaanvondutch]

when you die, you walk into the cold unknown hand in hand with a girl you met once when you were five in a hotel pool and her hand is warm.

[icantwritegood]

love is stored in the child you crossed paths with in a space midway to somewhere else and never saw again

[weird-val-yankovic]

soon...

[homunculus-argument]

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

[thekijs]

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

yuh i was there, that's how it happened

Shout out to trans women who aren’t computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.

Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you

[snkrfnd]

Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.
