"Vanderhorst had been under the influence of MDMA and three litres of vodka she had consumed on the night of the offence last September, her lawyer Michael Hill told the court."

Finally. Normal porn is back on this website.

Something that annoys me is the constant whining about "more queer spaces, more queer communities" but then they're immediately like "yeah! And we need ones that don't cost money or require a purchase!"

Girl that's exactly why they close down after a year. You NEED money to keep these places open. There's no magic Gay Money Pot with endless cash to keep these places open. It requires YOU to put your money where your values are!!

Like there was a queer coffee shop in my city. Owned and operated by a bunch of LGBT people. Not a cishet on the schedule. Tons of young people raved about it.

And it made it about 2 years before shutting down completely. Because all those young people who begged for a place exactly like this would just show up, not buy a single thing, and leave. You cannot build a community without putting your money into it. This isn't about capitalism, this is just reality. You can't open a restaurant where no one buys your food. You can't have a gay bar that only serves 5% of the population and actively excludes everyone else. This is what I mean when I say people confuse "community" and "friend group." You're not obligated to spend money when hanging out with your friend group. But if you want a lasting community centered space, you need to open up that wallet.

The reality is that events, objects, and spaces cost money. I've been a professional queer organizer for over a decade. I ran a trans rights organization, and now I run a queer pagan church.

A lot of people wanting and expecting spaces and events and services without wanting to contribute any time or money or labor to support them has been a constant problem. Throughout my entire career, I've done most of the work myself, and I've paid for most of what I need to do that work out of my own pocket.

Which is not to say that nobody helps. But out of 50+ people who might show up to a free event with provided food, five or six showed up to a yard sale to fund said event, stayed for a couple hours, and then left my husband and I alone for the rest of the weekend.

With my church, which I've run for three years now, most people have shown up at least once when I asked for volunteers to help with something, and a couple people show up consistently, but exactly one person has ever made a financial donation. Everything else I pay for myself. Part of the problem is queer people tend to have less money and can't afford to contribute financially, but that doesn't change the fact that operating anything costs the same amount of money no matter how much money the people who use it have. And I've noticed that white cis gay men who fall into the "two incomes no children" demographic and actually have more money than average, still often don't actually use that money to support things that benefit the rest of the queer community.

IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

Remaining time: 5 days 17 hours

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!
