THIS COMIC BECOME POPULAR ON TWITTER IS UNREAL KJGDFNJKGN
So what I’ve learned from the past couple months of being really loud about being a bi woman on Tumblr is: A lot of young/new LGBT+ people on this site do not understand that some of the stuff they’re saying comes across to other LGBT+ people as offensive, aggressive, or threatening. And when they actually find out the history and context, a lot of them go, “Oh my god, I’m so sorry, I never meant to say that.”
Like, “queer is a slur”: I get the impression that people saying this are like… oh, how I might react if I heard someone refer to all gay men as “f*gs”. Like, “Oh wow, that’s a super loaded word with a bunch of negative freight behind it, are you really sure you want to put that word on people who are still very raw and would be alarmed, upset, or offended if they heard you call them it, no matter what you intended?”
So they’re really surprised when self-described queers respond with a LOT of hostility to what feels like a well-intentioned reminder that some people might not like it.
That’s because there’s a history of “political lesbians”, like Sheila Jeffreys, who believe that no matter their sexual orientation, women should cut off all social contact with men, who are fundamentally evil, and only date the “correct” sex, which is other women. Political lesbians claim that relationships between women, especially ones that don’t contain lust, are fundamentally pure, good, and unproblematic. They therefore regard most of the LGBT community with deep suspicion, because its members are either way too into sex, into the wrong kind of sex, into sex with men, are men themselves, or somehow challenge the very definitions of sex and gender.
When “queer theory” arrived in the 1980s and 1990s as an organized attempt by many diverse LGBT+ people in academia to sit down and talk about the social oppressions they face, political lesbians like Jeffreys attacked it harshly, publishing articles like “The Queer Disappearance of Lesbians”, arguing that because queer theory said it was okay to be a man or stop being a man or want to have sex with a man, it was fundamentally evil and destructive. And this attitude has echoed through the years; many LGBT+ people have experience being harshly criticized by radical feminists because being anything but a cis “gold star lesbian” (another phrase that gives me war flashbacks) was considered patriarchal, oppressive, and basically evil.
And when those arguments happened, “queer” was a good umbrella to shelter under, even when people didn’t know the intricacies of academic queer theory; people who identified as “queer” were more likely to be accepting and understanding, and “queer” was often the only label or community bisexual and nonbinary people didn’t get chased out of. If someone didn’t disagree that people got to call themselves queer, but didn’t want to be called queer themselves, they could just say “I don’t like being called queer” and that was that. Being “queer” was to being LGBT as being a “feminist” was to being a woman; it was opt-in.
But this history isn’t evident when these interactions happen. We don’t sit down and say, “Okay, so forty years ago there was this woman named Sheila, and…” Instead we queers go POP! like pufferfish, instantly on the defensive, a red haze descending over our vision, and bellow, “DO NOT TELL ME WHAT WORDS I CANNOT USE,” because we cannot find a way to say, “This word is so vital and precious to me, I wouldn’t be alive in the same way if I lost it.” And then the people who just pointed out that this word has a history, JEEZ, way to overreact, go away very confused and off-put, because they were just trying to say.
But I’ve found that once this is explained, a lot of people go, “Oh wow, okay, I did NOT mean to insinuate that, I didn’t realize that I was also saying something with a lot of painful freight to it.”
And that? That gives me hope for the future.
everyone in she-ra is gay for each other and i think that’s beautiful

This is, without exaggeration, probably the best dating advice I have ever seen.
I was so totally not aware that people didn’t know that being sorted into Houses was a real thing in UK schools. It’s not something made up just for the Harry Potter world, it’s a real schooling system, I was in the St George House at my school and everyone had the same attitude to Prefects as everyone in the HP world did to Percy Weasley I can assure you.
how do you get the hat to talk
We had them in my high school here in Australia and let me tell you I wish we didn’t
i’m torn between my feelings about OP’s statement, and my feelings about your school’s officially sponsored raunchy furry artwork
“Fifty points from Sexy Muscular Lion House, Potter…”
Ah I guuuueeeess we did here where I went to high school, but it was like Year 7 Red, Blue and Gold rooms, which were next to each other, just to break up all the year 7 students in to more manageable numbers. Also, when you went up a year, everyone was re-sorted.
Yeah, except I went to a ridiculously posh boarding school and let me tell you, 4 houses is child’s play
We had 26, twenty fucking six Now, I can’t remember all of them (it was over 12 years ago) but there were definitely personalities associated with each, but these were definitely much more flexible and shifted quite a lot every 10 years or so from what I could tell. They all had two colours and a symbol as part of their colours and if you won all the major inter-house sport events in a year (like, the big 4 not every single sport) then the current members could pick new colours and symbol. This has only happened twice in the 600 odd years my school was going though
The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.
My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:
“Merry Christmas.” “Happy holidays.” “No. I said Merry Christmas.” “Do you know what Hanukkah is about?” “No, what?” “Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah.”
yes, yes to both these thoughts
5 STAR ALARM SCORPIA’S CHARACTER SHEET HAS BEEN RELEASED
Scorpia x Catra 5 ever
400 Follower Part 1/3!
For The Sims 3!
Simanity has fallen. After countless years of warfare, greed, and recklessness, the Earth is at a point it can no longer recover. The nations of the world united on one final project, The Genesis Project. Here, the last hope for a dying species lies, but will they thrive? Will they even survive at all?
Hi guys! So I just hit the 400 milestone, and I thought i’d make something for all the lovely people who follow my boring, inconsistent blog :P This is a simple world, which I suppose could be used as a tester hood or even for a story. It has BaseGame Spawners and ITF ones, so it is playable. Most of the world is routable and if you have Island Paradise theoretically you should be able to place something out in the ocean. The playable area is fairly large, the whole map was built on a Large map and most of that is inside the walls.
Technical Stuff
Requires the Base Game + Into the Future.
No store stuff, no cc, no nothing required.
World has Metal, Mineral, and Bug Spawners.
These pics were taken with a lighting mod! In game, the world will take on whatever your default lighting normally is. I used this one by @brntwaffles
Edit! I added a mirror link because a few people told me they were having trouble with the SFS link. :)
Download!
The CAW Files!
A Mirror Link! (Box.com)
My TOU with this world is a little different than my ‘do whatever you want policy’ that the rest of my downloads hold. Feel free to edit this world to your hearts content, just please don’t claim it as your own. I’m including the CAW files as well in the DL, if you choose to modify them please message me before publicly sharing it.
Please, this really wants to make me build in TS3 again, gosh I love the concept of this island
Mermaids with hair over their eyes are usually from deeper waters. The sea floor has almost no light, so deep sea mermaids (few of which have functional eyes) visiting the surface would be blinded by the sun.
To mermaids, covering their eyes with hair is similar to sunglasses.
Deep sea mermaids are also shy, accustomed to dark waters for hiding their monstrous appearances. Freshwater Mermaid: Howdy y'all, I’d like you to meet my cousin. She’s a little shy :) 30ft Tall Deep Sea Mermaid with hair so long it turns the water black: ᴴᵉʷʷᵒ
Self explanatory sadness…
Happy N7 Day
