"There's no platonic explanation for this" <-you need to be nicer to your friends. Right now

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it

[redstonedust]

if i was president of the internet i would require all binary people to write a 3 page gender studies essay before i can issue their license to call that nonbinary character a lesbian or refer to their ships as yuri. you gotta prove youre not just shoving them into the girl-lite box, chief. you gotta earn it. thems the rules.

Its weird how you get more disabled over time. Like, most people i know with a disability actually have like eight disabilities and a lot of them slowed up later as a result of compensating for the earlier ones. This brought to you by me filling out a demographics form and wondering when i got to the point of checking that many damn boxes

“You get used to it” true but misleading because someday your back problems are gonna inexplicably cause stomach problems. And then you get used to the stomach problems but your thumbs start hurting because you had to do so much work on your phone lying in weird positions while waiting for the stomach problems to go away. And there are way more distractions on your phone too so while you always had adhd this just makes it more annoying/prevalent-

Anyway hi disabled people with one million conditions i love you and i hope youre having a good day with minimal pain/inconvenience

[redhairandpronouns]

yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric

[vinterfeminism]

You would not believe the things I have heard as a transfem butch.

[dumbdogdiscourse]

I once said something along the lines of "why does everyone assume that every gnc cis man is an egg" and was harassed for it and sarcastically told that obviously the treatment of cis men should be our biggest concern and that I didn't know anything about egg culture (I do). You do realize that gnc people are queer too, right? You realize I can concern myself with "smaller" problems, because I love gnc people and am concerned about their well-being? You realize that telling people they must be trans because of their presentation is just as bad as telling someone must be cis for the same reasons?

I'm never going to shut up about how shitty the queer community treats gender non-conforming people, especially gender non-conforming men.

[redhairandpronouns]

also the treatment of gnc cis men tells me a lot about how you'd treat gnc trans men. like, you think that if a man likes feminine clothing he's secretly a woman? do you know how many people have told me i'm not "actually trans" because i like feminine clothing? stop reinforcing gender norms i am Begging

Probably an unpopular opinion but i think teenagers have it worse now than most generations did before then. We had malls. We had parks and libraries. There were spaces for them to be in when home-life was hell.

But now, on top of Covid still spreading, monthly live active shooter drills, being chased out of parks for loitering, malls shutting down because people don't have that kind of money anymore, libraries running out of funding. They're being treated worse than anyone else because they don't have rights.

And when they turn 18, have stunted social skills, no prospects in life, we're creating another generation of failed souls, And doomed by the social narrative that teens should neither be seen nor heard. We owe them more than this. You cannot neglect a seedling crop, only for you to plant them into the ground and expect the largest crop that you've ever seen.

Don't get me wrong, fuck facebook, twitter, and TikTok, but these social platforms are sadly the only places they have left. And even then, we need to think of a better way other than blocking teens from everything. Maybe a teen-only social platform or something? We're failing them at every direction.

happy disability pride month to mean cripples, nasty addicts, people with down syndrome who arent nice and talk constant shit, wheelchair users that WILL run you over, autists that dont care and arent about to pretend to, people who lie to their psychiatrists, people that sit on the floor in public places with no benches, amputees that lie profusely about "what happened", ; to the "noncompliant", the "drug seeking", the "mean", the "difficult" and the "undeserving", and so on and so forth, i love us all and we deserve the world actually mwah mwah

[snapcracklepop-myjoints]

to people that hide contraband in their assistive devices. to people that do party tricks they arent supposed to and people who will spit on you if you ask them to do party tricks. to people that weaponise the infantalisation of disabled people for their own purposes (theft et. al.). to the people who "misuse" their medication and people who dont take it at all. to my mother, who takes out her hearing aids when she doesnt want to hear shit anymore but will still pretend to be listening so you dont catch on. to people who sleep all the time and to people with "abnormal" circadian rhythms who are unwilling to alter their sleep/wake cycle to best appeal to societal (and moral) expectations. to people that complain loudly about inaccessibility and refuse to try and "make it work". to people that charge money for invasive questions and people that pretend not to understand the question at all.

I Never Could Cross My Legs (2019) by artist Lydia Pettit

[thlayli-rah]

Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight

I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever

But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”

This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it

And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit

So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

[thlayli-rah]

Coming back to say that while a lot of the responses to this post have been mainly positive, some folks have an attitude that it should be something that my friend— or any cis, straight man —should just be able to get over, because fuck ‘em, that’s why, because they’re in a queer space and they should shut up and accept it, because you suffer as a queer person and they should have to suffer too— regardless of whether or not this specific person has done anything to wrong you

I’m gonna say this point blank— you’re a tar pit if you think this way

Your suffering does not make you special, you are not granted brand new permissions to be belligerent and cruel because you have been treated poorly, straight people aren’t an oppressed class, no, but they’re people who are entitled to the same amount of basic decency that you, yourself, are entitled to

It feels good when you’ve been treated like shit to then go forward and treat other people like shit. That’s what you’re admitting. Does it make you feel good to do harm? Are you proud of that? Are you comfortable with being that kind of person? Because I dunno about the rest of you— but I realized I wasn’t, and it turns out it’s pretty fucking easy to change

[Image in the above post is a comment by @justhappytobequeer which reads "There's a weird thing where people consider the most important part of morality to be societal oppression. And then somehow think that being a jerk to someone who's less oppressed is automatically morally ok and good."]

[soumyshiru]

ive noticed that a lot of queers who engage in this rampant bullying also happen to be white. for they, having only just recently tasted the bitter flavour of being a minority since their coming out, will erroneously think that it excuses them from being cruel to another person, for they are now oppressed and 'deserve to do so'..... though already they come from a position of racial privilege (belonging to a race that has always been cruel to others). they just want another chance at being mean and hurtful, to indulge in the whims of cruelty that white people so often have, but this time, they feel excused on account of their sexuality. i say this as a coloured homosexual woman. in a world of hate and sickness you must be kind
