bi slut pigeon

[antigoneprogone]

A gay pigeon story: my grandfather kept pigeons, and though he maybe didn't know the proper vernacular, he was always an ally to the gay rights movement. When his nephew's boyfriend died of AIDS in the '80s, my grandfather was the only one at the family reunion to actually console him and talk with him about it. Not even his own father gave him the dignity of acknowledging his grief.

The reason I want to make it so clear that he was a friend to the community is because it makes this story funny instead of mean. He kept meticulous records of his pigeons, noting where each one was and who they were with and whose chicks were whose. It was not always the case that the chicks in a certain nestbox were the offspring of the parents in there. Sometimes, a mother hen would push a chick out because it was overburdened, or maybe a cock would push a chick out because wanted it dead (pigeons, like humans, can be monstrous assholes for seemingly no reason).

It is for this reason that it is very advantageous to have something rare like a gay couple in the loft. Pigeons are unique in that they make "milk" for their chicks, and cocks can do this as well as hens. So, because a gay couple can feed their young but never actually bear young, they are often the recipient of orphaned chicks.

All of that is to say this - when my grandfather passed away, my mom took over the pigeon business, as she had been helping him for years. And looking through his records, it was all very standard, very plain, well-documented minutiae about the birds and their pedigrees, save for one spot that looked something like this:

BOX 15

RED CHECK HEN

YELLOW COCK

BOX 16

BLUE SLATE HEN

DUNN BAR COCK

BOX 17

RED GIMPEL COCK

BLUE CHECK COCK

(QUEERS - WOW!)

“an asian girl” because that’s so helpful. oftentimes authors fail to recognize that asia is a super diverse CONTINENT and not a country. meaning “asian” is one of the vaguest possible terms of description for a person. it’s not hard to specify the country the character comes from instead of giving us little to no reliable descriptor words to visualize them!!

Talking to other autistic people about meltdowns is so validating! Oh, you also threw all your stuff on the floor? Hit yourself hard enough to bruise? You've had a meltdown because of an annoying sound? Valid. I understand you 100%.

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

[finally-figured-it-out]

There once was a man from Verdun

[genteelblackhole42]

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

[shredsandpatches]

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

[ruckuscauser]

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, "Yes, I know-- It's because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."
