we have got to start pushing back on the "mitch mcconnell is technically alive" shit for a multitude of reasons not the least of which being that this rhetoric directly benefits republicans who are trying to hide his death to prevent a democratic special election to replace him and risk losing his seat to a democrat. also it's giving anti-choice rhetoric to say "this pile of organs that cannot exist without external organs and is meaningfully not alive is a person that we need to give legal/political acknowledgement to". i can't believe i have to fight you all about this but he is dead, braindeath is death, stop ceding ground on this.

[rapidly approaching middle age]: It’s like people don’t even remember the Terry Schiavo case

#death --#not just Terry schiavo but every single case #where Christian pressure groups and families (some of whom are genuinely struggling with letting go some of whom... yeah)#endlessly litigate with the doctors treating loved ones to let them live on life support indefinitely #even though their brain has long past turned into soup and they're insisting a corpse on a ventilator is giving them coded messages #Alfie Evans but also Archie battersbee #the Catholics always end up getting involved and insisting they go to their weird special hospital in Rome #medical talk?? sorry I'm in a morbid mood I just lost a relative today so uh yeah

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.

#I'm not sure if I'm in the right for adding my comment here as I'm British #but I never understood June = Pride because in the UK it's kiiiiind of all summer?#different cities have slightly different timings for when they have their prides #Manchester's has always been August because the drag queens used to have a silly sports day on Aug bank holiday weekend #so when I see people going on about pride in June it doesn't feel right. it doesn't feel like it's Time yet #and conversely it makes you feel like having it late August is daft cos it's the end of summer and the school year starts next week #august bank hols is last week of aug so it's usually around the 22nd-29th #some UK prides like london are slowly shifting it backwards to June to align with the American one #anyway I know there's an extra layer here because of the white queer colonialism aspect so I know this isn't 1:1 and I'll shush now lol #but I'm glad someone has pointed this out!!! my city is one of the main hubs of UK gay culture.

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.
