She wants her midnights

I’ll never forget her "I want her midnights", it was more special than the other occasions that she has changed the neutral or typically masculine pronouns for female ones. Do it in a concert full of noise and people who are enjoying the show and not paying attention to every word that she says is completely different than singing to a room with few people, being the only sound her voice and the piano. It was so clear, indisputable and wonderful, I don't know where she got the courage to do it, because she knew perfectly well the consequences that it could have (should have). I remember it every day.

less “if you see a man and woman together at pride be nice! they could be bi/pan/trans/ace/aro” and more “stop gendering strangers to harass them anywhere, but especially at pride holy shit”

queerpontmercy

you know what? i want this to reach the people who do this– especially the ones claiming to support trans folk (usually in really hollow ways lol i’m not bitter). keep reblogging– i want this sentiment to be widespread and for people to stop gendering strangers! especially in explicitly LGBTQ+ spaces!

For those who haven’t heard, this woman in Arkansas was speeding by a slight margin (5 miles) and was flagged to pull over by an officer. She put on her blinker and got into the right most lane, then slowed and put her hazards on, indicating she was looking for a safe place to pull over. This is actually what police departments, and this one specifically, tell people to do. The shoulder on that road was quite narrow, and she was likely waiting to exit the interstate.

Despite this, the officer slowly gains on her and uses a pit maneuver to spin her car out. This sent her (and her unborn child) careening into the median and completely flipping the car. The officer is heard calling for ems in a very calm voice.

From what I can find, the woman is alright, as is her child. She’s looking to pursue legal action against the officer, who has defended his actions by claiming she was driving wildly and swerving. As I’ve seen so far, he is still being paid and on the force.

In case there was any doubt that cops are fucking liars, here's the video of her "driving wildly and swerving"

zero remorse in this officers voice -- this is the voice of a police officer who knows he can get away with almost anything and doesn’t care if he hurts people

Speaking as someone who has taken it, the Arkansas Driver's manual specifically states that if there is no safe place to pull over to slow down, get in the right lane, and turn your hazards on to show you plan to stop. In other words, she did EXACTLY what she was supposed to do.

first of all, it’s true and Stevenson should say it

second of all, this piece doesn’t even mention the thing where, after acquiring them as part of the Fox deal, Disney shut down Blue Sky studios, leaving an animated film based on Stevenson’s breakout comic Nimona to wither 75% finished on the vine

which is information that might help the reader understand the weight of experience behind Stevenson’s correct assessment, here

i bitched about it in the tags because i didn’t have sources handy! but yes that is absoLUTELY relevant thank you for tacking this on

day 3: Bisexual flag

the bi flag we all use today is this one:

it was created in 1998 by Michael Page. he noticed that majority of bi people didn't feel a connection to the rainbow flag, and created it as a way to spread awareness for bisexual people even within the LGBTQ+ community!

The first bi pride flag was unveiled at the BiCafe's first-anniversary party on December 5, 1998.

Michael Page also created this flag to be completely free of patents, trademarks, and service marks. He wanted it to be free for the public, and not for commercial use. However, just in 2020, BiNet USA tried to take sole ownership of the flag; claiming that organizations and individuals who wanted to use the flag for commercial purposes would need to get a license from them, despite having nothing to do with the flag's design or creation. They eventually settled with a different design.

"On April 29, 2020, BiNetUSA made a tweet claiming the Wikipedia page for the bisexual pride flag was inaccurate, in an attempt to defend their unbased claims. BiNetUSA ultimately ceased to use the flag on May 8th, opting instead to use a different design." - Wikipedia

The origin of the flag came from the bi triangles (biangles): the original symbol for bisexuality.

these were originally created for the Boston Bi Woman's Community by Liz Nania. the pink triangle (used for gay men in WWII when they were sent to concentration camps) was the origin, and a blue triangle was added overlapping with it.

contrary to popular belief, the pink does not stand for girls, and the blue does not stand for boys.

Michael Page is quoted:

"The pink color represents sexual attraction to the same sex only (gay and lesbian). The blue represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex only (straight) and the resultant overlap color purple represents sexual attraction to both sexes (bi)."

"The key to understanding the symbolism of the Bisexual pride flag is to know that the purple pixels of color blend unnoticeably into both the pink and blue, just as in the 'real world,' where bi people blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities."

however, many bisexuals found issue with the triangles. they felt dehumanizing, and many were not comfortable with reclaiming the hate symbol. others used the same color scheme, but with two crescent moons facing away from each other:

but after the bisexual pride flag was popularized, these moons and the triangles became less well known. the colour combination never changed.

"The bisexual double moon symbol was created in 1998 by Vivian Wagner specifically as an alternative to the bi angles symbol..."

throughout LGBTQ+ history, bisexuals have regularly been put down by their own community. it's refreshing to see bisexuality be normalized 💗💜💙

happy pride!

I love the moons. ( tattoo idea!!!)

If you really care about preventing government tyranny, your #1 priority must be making sure criminals have rights.

And that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

If criminals don't have rights, then all the government has to do is find some excuse to label people as criminals, and those people will no longer have rights. It's what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done.

If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you're literally as pro-tyranny as a person can get.

I don't know which show you guys are watching but Bucky is never going back to New York.

There was nothing for him there, no family no friends, expect Yori,...

His only reason for staying in New York was for his therapist appointments, I guess. ..

In episode 6, we see Bucky saying goodbye to his therapist. This doesn't mean he doesn't need therapy anymore, but he doesn't need therapy in New York. He'll probably find a new therapist near Delacroix.

We see him confessing to Yori, and in a following scene we see him silently exchanging looks with Leah, while she's taking care of Yori in the bar. Bucky is silently asking her if she would take care of Yori and she's "accepting"it, or at least she's showing that Bucky has nothing to worry about.

When Bucky arrives, at the family barbecue he's so familiar with everything and everyone. You'd think that a guy litke Bucky would be a little shy seeing so many strangers at the same time. But no, he's so comfortable. Because it's the not the first time he's meeting them. They're not strangers. He's basically already living there.

That's why Bucky says "where is everybody?" when he puts the cake on the table. Why would he ask where everybody is if Sam is the only person he knows there?

That's why Sam and Bucky's hug is so light-hearted, because they probably saw eachother a few hours ago or a maximum of one day ago. ( My personal headcannon is that they would have kissed but none of them is big on PDA).

Besides someone on here pointed out that the car he was driving was Sam's car.

That's why Cass and AJ, run to him and start fake punching him. They're familiar with him. I don't know about you guys, but my nephews don't run like that as soon as they see a guy they've met only once.

Do you remember how they run away when he woke up and said "hey" when he was on the couch? This means, after the couch scene they have had many occasions to play with Bucky amd get used to him. I can't believe the show missed the occasion to have them call him uncle Bucky!

Bucky is already living in Delacroix, he just went to New York to wrap things up. I don't know if it's in Sam's bed or if he's renting an appartment somewhere, but he's living there.

Friendly reminder that Caitlyn Jenner is a horrible human being and friends with Trump so to all my Californian friends do not vote for her because she will seek to undo any and all progress in the state that does not directly benefit her and her billionaire friends.
