Welcome to my online diary

[florallychaotic]

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

You could have brought up all of this without bashing black queer figures. Just celebrate your people without being us up. It's not that fucking hard.

[nyokoko]

Like the utter disdain in the tone and the dismissiveness of what OUR queer figures went through to get the scant rights ALL people who come to America enjoy today is CRAZY WORK. Like you could easily celebrate and uplift your own queer cultural figures without taking pot shots at Black folks. And a lot of y'all on this fuckass website use your supposed anti-American stance to be largely antiblack pieces of shit and it's not cute and you're not as subtle as you think.

Sometimes I get annoyed by how many people in the PHM Fandom gloss over that fact that Grace HAD a partner before. Plus the very iconic line "Rocky hate Mark" came from that scene.

I think people are missing out on some very funny aroace discovery shenanigans. Imagine Grace's previous partner being annoyed that Grace is treating them like a REALLY good friend instead of a romantic interest and sexual partner and having his "head in the clouds". And Grace still in the events of the movie not realizing that theyre aroace and thats probably why the relationship fell through, because she was looking for something else in a partner.

Like this absolute ditz of a man is confusing every person he reels in with his absolutely lovely being. He has everyone in the movie at some point going, "What are we?" Lmao. Something about the concept of being "unattainable" being incredibly attractive to a lot of people.

Grace's Ex, a few hours after one of their first dates where they watched a movie at their place:

Omg he didn't make a move once! And we had deep, engaging and funny conversations! He's such a gentleman!

The Project Hail Mary Crew watching this disaster of a golden retriever, fumble his way into their hearts:

Would.

So I've noticed a subtle pattern, and I want to say this because I'm sure people don't intend to be antiblack when they do this, but it is:

Stop telling us that you didn't put effort into your art/creations of Black people

"oh it's just a bad sketch I did to the side" "oh I just didn't feel like drawing his hair this time" "oh I just didn't feel like doing her skin well"

Okay well if you didn't feel like putting effort into your depiction, why are you showing it to us? Why are you TELLING us that you didn't care enough to be thoughtful this go round, while expecting us to still applaud you for your work? Especially if you and I know you're capable? It's insulting.

If you didn't want to draw me, you didn't have to. But you don't have to make it seem like it's excessively difficult, especially if you don't say this about anyone else you draw.

Black viewers of your work deserve to know you cared. I'm not saying every piece has to be the Mona Lisa. But if your character is supposed to have deep skin or curly hair, and you just... Decide that's too hard to do sometimes... Why should I settle for your half effort? Just don't share it 😅 wait until you do care 😅 take your time until it's done 😅

literally anything other than saying "yeah I didn't feel like depicting you so take this instead please" yeah I won't be accepting that, no thank you.

autism tests are so funny. I'm extremely literal most of the time, but people don't tell me that generally, so I'm inclined to answer disagree. because I'm taking the statement too literally

[peopleingishard]

^not my post but same sentiment

[anglaised]

can't we be positive about food

in the current climate we have, no, u have to be realistic about ppls relationships to good and skinny culture ….we need ppl alto see food and there own bodies as neutral u cannot reach positive without neutral and diet culture is what it is bc of ppl not seeing food as anything but negative

[anglaised]

like how do we get to positive by skipping neutrality? you dont…. u just get a bunch of ppl pretending to love their bodies and food and then crashing every few months back into self hatred, its not sustainable we have to deconstruct what it means to have a body that isnt rail thin in order to reach acceptance and nobody wants to do that bc nobody wants to let go of ego

this is your annual pride month reminder that queer rose is real

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

[goldcrescent]

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?
