Here are some opinions and accessibility warnings. Feel free to block or avoid following because of any of them.
Below the readmore is a list of tags (religion + alterhumanity related) you should add to your blacklist if you donāt want to see them. You should also filter any reclaimed slurs you are uncomfortable with. I don't tag those words in textposts, but will tag them if the post is only an image and thus won't be caught by a blacklist.
------------------
list of tags you should block if you donāt want to see them:
Iām not a hellenic polytheist btw; Iām a Norse pagan who also worships/works with some deities from other pantheons. I tag thingsĀ āhelpolā for organization purposes only.
you should also block ā#vulture cultureā if you need to.
(^ stolen from my friend @.permanenteclipse and one of its many posts of screenshots from the game āEverythingā. this is the only one iām putting up otherwise this would be a mile long)
"Women are warm and nurturing and they have powerful intuitions!" is benevolent sexism. Benevolent sexism upholds misogyny by praising women for things women are "supposed" to be good at and romanticizing roles women are "supposed" to play under a patriarchal system.
Also, like, benevolent sexist stereotypes are definitely used to make those who don't fit them feel like failures as women (especially queer women/trans women/woc/neurodivergent women/etc).
And on the flip side, they're also used to deny women who are skilled at those things credit for their accomplishments. It's easy for people to dismiss an excellent childcare worker when her "~magical gender intuition makes her naturally good at it~".
āWe chose the term āasexualā to describe ourselves because both ācelibateā and āanti-sexualā have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. āAsexualā, as we use it, does not mean āwithout sexā but ārelating sexually to no oneā. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.ā
ā The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
Itās 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.
Fun fact: if someone tells you that they've got misophonia and that they can't stand a specific sound, and you start making that sound on purpose and won't stop doing it before they forcibly physically stop you from doing it, you were the one who escalated the situation to violence.
the american obsession with ur love being Witnessed is so sick like public airport confessions of love and restaurant proposals and everyone clapping when you kiss in movies that is so wrong and disgusting i don't want a love that only feels real when there are witnesses present i want a quiet love i want to be kissed around the corner i want to feel content with my love when i am alone
Hereās your periodic reminder that language exists to serve us, not the other way around.
If x label is close enough to your experience that youād like to use it, then use it. If y label fits your experience perfectly, but you donāt want to use it, then donāt.
The purpose of words isnāt to neatly divide everything into perfect categories, but rather to provide a useful shorthand to communicate ideas.
Like in the USA, queer british history is tied to black british history. Unlike the USA we never hear their names
It's black history month in the UK, but no child I know of has been taught about black queer history.
So join me in learning about it.
Learn about Pearl Alcock who set up the only gay bar in brixton at the time as a refuge for black gay men.
Ted Brown one of the organisers of the first UK pride rallys in 1974
Justin Fashanu the first openly gay footballer in 1990.
The fact that the UK GLF was inspired by the black panthers revolutionary convention in 1970.
Or Ivor Cummings "the gay father of the windrush generation"
When we understand that our history is diverse, it changes our outlook. I hope that this Black History Month, we all take the time to uncove
I'm sure there are 100s more names to go on this list, but I don't know them. I can't find them. Kinda the point if racism and homophobia tho isn't it? To hide the culture and history of black queer people, to make black queer people feel like their alone, feel like there was noone who came before to look up to and be seen by.
Over in America February is black history month, but here in the UK February is queer history month. So what better time to highlight this article about the black queers we never learn about
If I start my sentence with "Girl" I mean it in a gay way like I'm about to bitch to you about my coworkers who I hate and who I am nothing but nice to. If I start my sentence with "Maaan" I mean it in a tired teen boy way. Like Shaggy learning that he's eaten the last of his vile sandwiches
in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.
