maybe this time i can prove to the people ive tricked into loving me that i am actually ☝️ a fundamentally evil person

[sunday-better]

ever since i was a small child i knew i was destined to become the equivalent of a leech on everyone ive ever interacted with

[oury-boros]

reading queerness into works where it is not allowed to appear or is shoved underground: 👍 great. necessary even

reading a queer story and mentally rewriting its queerness to be relatable to you: 👎 what the hell are we doing here

seeing "protect the action figures" as a response to "Protect the dolls" is maybe the most insulting thing I've ever seen, to both trans men and trans women.

[tofu-rebecca]

First of all, the term "protect them dolls" exists because trans women, and especially trans women of color, are killed disproportionally. you are literally "all lives matter"-ing this. Secondly, can we stop this stupid fucking trend of giving gay/trans men the worse version of something that already exists for women?

hey everyone for pride month it would meat a lot to me if you check it out👇

my best friend in the world & his boyfie make this crazy incredible glass bead flora between working full-time/gig jobs, they are also trying to move out soon, and could really use some relief from the constant hustle. i know we’re all barely scraping by, but if you have the means to help a broke latino couple during pride month , you can do it and receive something beautiful and handcrafted in the mail (maybe give as a gift to your sweetie😋 )

any help is humongously appreciated , you can find them on instagram.com @ beadedgardens , and his pey pel is @ iicm (etsy here as well)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!🌷🌷🌷

[dykieran]

every year i don't see any "cishets shouldn't be allowed at pride" discourse right up until someone makes a post like "there BETTER not be ANY drama about cishets at pride this year 👀👀👀" and then suddenly everyone is posting like there's a down with cishet van selling heterocisphobic ice cream at pride and beating up anyone who listens to taylor swift or ed sheeran

[medusadyke]

enough performative text posts put your $ where your mouth is

[checkyourasianbias]

saw this tweet and like. exactly

[creatingblackcharacters]

I'm sorry but "reluctant slave owner" just shot to the top of my list of most ridiculously laughably racist shit I've ever heard. Reluctant slave owners. As if someone just... HAS to have slaves. Can always depend on a white Anne Rice fan to act like this

[creatingblackcharacters]

I'm SORRY I know I'm beating you and starving you and splitting your families apart and feeding your babies to alligators and maybe even sending dogs after any of you that try to escape such harrowing conditions it just HAUNTS MY SOUL the things I simply MUST DO to you!!! Don't you know that this causes me DEPRESSION?? Won't anyone think of my REGRETS??

[creatingblackcharacters]

Oh also! If you're still taking Black music artist recs, I don't think I've seen anyone mention Nxdia yet! They're Egyptian-Sudanese, queer, and make really good alt-pop music. (if anyone knows the song "She Likes A Boy" that's by Nxdia!)

STOP SCROLLING, MY BABY QAIS’S WOUND OPENED AGAIN BEFORE MY EYES.

I started using torn, worn-out clothes instead of medical bandages for my baby Qais, and his wound became infected and opened again because I cannot afford proper supplies anymore.

[save-the-child-qais]

Tonight, I tried cleaning the blood from his small body with shaking hands while he cried in pain, and I realized I no longer have anything left to ease his suffering.

[save-the-child-qais]

I beg you as a devastated mother in Gaza, watching her child break apart in front of her without being able to save him.

Please donate now and help me keep my baby Qais alive.

[save-the-child-qais]

TRAGICALLY, tonight my baby Qais lost consciousness again after his wound reopened and the bleeding returned, and I felt completely helpless watching his small body collapse in my arms. Please, I beg you, donate now and help me save him.

honestly it’s less about marjane satrapi and persepolis and more about how that’s the only narrative the western world views as factual or even worth reading

same thing with authors like khaled hosseini. their works show one perspective, a perspective in a sea of different experiences, one that conveniently paints western imperialist agendas in a positive light and even more conveniently becomes the only narrative ever published for western audiences

you can acknowledge someone’s experiences, but you should always ask yourself why, for example, books like this became required reading in many schools alongside other writings meant to shape your opinion a certain way about a certain region and religion

[safije]

marjane satrapi was an open zionist and khaled hosseini was welcomed by george w. bush at the white house. Hosseini wrote in his fictional book Kite Runner:

"There are only three real men in this world, Amir," he'd say. He'd count them off on his fingers: America the brash savior, Britain, and Israel. "The rest of them--" he used to wave his hand and make a phht sound "--they're like gossiping old women."

In Baba's view, Israel was an island of "real men" in a sea of Arabs too busy getting fat off their oil to care for their own. "Israel does this, Israel does that," Baba would say in a mock-Arabic accent.
