Jane Austen Aesthetics: Persuasion (1817)

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.”

On this day in queer history: 5 December 1998

The bisexual pride flag is unveiled for the very first time.

Created by activist Michael Page, the flag was designed to give the bisexual community a powerful, unmistakable symbol—something as instantly recognizable and unifying as the rainbow flag within the broader LGBTQ+ movement.

Page, inspired by his work with BiNet USA, wanted to increase visibility for bisexual people both within queer spaces and in society at large. The design features: • Pink, representing same-gender attraction • Blue, representing attraction to different genders • Purple, the blended space between them—symbolizing attraction to more than one gender

The flag debuted at BiCafe’s first anniversary party on December 5, 1998, and it has since become one of the most widely recognized symbols of bisexual pride, identity, and community. Twenty-six years later, its colors still fly proudly—affirming that bisexual people are seen, celebrated, and here to stay.

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

EDIT: let's use this post for something good. if you are considering being annoying in my notes, please instead consider donating to gaza soup kitchen. thanks!

write smut. not just on sundays but every day, at any time. you're an adult, it's your blog.

write explicit gross kinky furry anatomically incorrect smut. be gross, be cursed.

sex isn't inherently immoral, shameful or sinful. there's nothing wrong or icky or sus about adults writing about adult characters enjoying, experimenting and learning about sex. there's nothing wrong or icky or sus about you having fun with fictional p0rn about adult characters.

and if someone doesn't want to see it for whatever reason, they should use the filtering features to curate their dashboard.

at the end of the day if someone is deranged enough, they'll find a way to write a 50 page google doc about how you're a menace to society because your muse was once a minor, obviously adults are spawned middle aged from the get go and they've never been babies /s. no one with two working braincells will take them seriously.

psa :: remember that when addressing kings/emperors & queens/empresses, it’s “YOUR MAJESTY” ; & when addressing princes & princesses, it’s “YOUR HIGHNESS”. 

kings/emperors & queens/empresses : your royal/imperial majesty princes & princesses : your royal/imperial highness dukes & duchesses : your grace other nobility : my lord/my lady

Thoughts on OOC drama?

OOC drama? Oh, you mean that thing I avoid like it’s a group project and I’m the only one who read the syllabus? Hard pass. I’m here for fictional chaos, not real-life meltdowns. If I wanted unsolicited drama, I’d login to my Facebook and scroll through my aunt’s passive-aggressive posts. Keep the tea in the inbox, the daggers on the dash, and the vibes immaculate. Or keep it the hell away from me, please and thank you.

// not to beat a dead horse <- I do not like that turn of phrase, to be clear, I feel bad for the imaginary horse (lol) same with two birds with one stone, but… and I am extremely clear about this elsewhere, I think cancel culture is strange even if good intentioned, unless we are speaking of actual real life crime/stalking as happened to a friend of mine who I will not tag in this cause it is not necessary to make said point. That said, squicks, personal triggers and boundaries are in fact morally neutral, and but… in fiction do not like = do not read, writing does not equal condoning (anti intellectualism and shutting down intelligent nuanced analysis and interpretation/interrogation into the context historical or otherwise of the x media is still bad because anti intellectualism and censorship is bad) and I am using crime in real life as a broad term here, obviously bein LGBT/Queer is still illegal in 75 countries and sex workers worldwide still lack universal protections, so legality is not always equated to morality. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. 🩷🫶
