thought I'd share these collages I made last year, I use them for my phone wallpaper. I've included both color and b&w versions since b&w is kinda my aesthetic preference, but ik some of you may prefer color, please feel free to use em if you like em :)

any art included should obviously be credited to their respective artist. due to the nature of social media and the internet, I'm not aware of the original creators of the included art. if I've used your art & you would like to be credited plz dm me :))

friendly reminder that “boydyke” has existed for a very very very very long time and transmen, genderqueers, trans women, transfemmes and transmascs have been a part of the lesbian community for as long as its been around and we ain’t going no where!

i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands

happy pride month everybody!! thought i'd compile some ways to celebrate that actually help queer people 🌈

- donate to mutual aid campaigns for queer folks in need. even $1 helps. healthcare funds, emergency housing, gas money, grocery costs, legal fees, etc. can’t donate? share those posts so someone who can donate will see them.

- support queer-owned and queer-run businesses. restaurants, bars, bakeris, etsy shops, etc. not sure what’s around you? google it, search on your town's reddit/facebook/etc, or download the "everywhere Is queer app"!

- visibly show you’re a safe person (if it’s safe to do so). wear a small pride flag, pronoun pin, rainbow lanyard, safety pin, etc. tiny signals can make a huge difference for someone trying to figure out if they’re safe around you. i still remember the joy i'd feel as a young queer kid seeing an adult with some sort of pride accessory.

- respect people’s pronouns! this includes neo pronouns! ask and use what someone tells you, and if they prefer multiple pronouns, try not to just use the one that is the most comfortable for you. take the time to check what pronouns someone prefers instead of just automatically "they"-ing everyone who looks vaguely queer.

- educate yourself so queer people don’t always have to. take a little time to read about identities, history, and terminology. learn about stonewall, the riots, the people (who were predominantly trans women of color, gnc folks, and lesbians) who fought to get us where we are today! learn about different forms of systemic oppression: individual, historical, institutional, and structural. learn about intersectionality!

- volunteer your time. help at lgbtq+ centers, hotlines, shelters, community fridges, etc.

- check in on the queer people you know. pride can be fun, but it can also be heavy. not everyone is able to celebrate safely. in a world with so many horrible people wanting queer people silent, isolated, or dead, a quick check in can go a long way. take care of yourself, as well.

remember: pride is not just a celebration. it’s a protest. do what you can with the resources you have. money, time, platform, kindness. it's all valuable. so so so much love to all my queers out there, loud or silent 🖤🏳️‍🌈

have you noticed that it's "yaoi" or "yuri" but any nonbinary equivalents are jokes?

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

thoughts about clexa 10 years later

i’m a little late as i’ve been busy with school but i wanted to share about the impact of clexa on my life and how i feel about it now.

i can’t believe it’s been 10 years since my heart first shattered for lexa. when lexa died i was 13, i was coming to terms with myself, who i was, and the life path i had before me. she wasn’t the first queer representation in my life but she was certainly the most impactful. before the 100 i had seen other wlw relationships but i hadn’t really seen myself in them, i just didn’t really relate to the characters or feel as attached to them, i couldn’t put myself in their shoes. but with clarke and lexa i felt hope, i could see a possibility. when lexa died i remember it feeling like a piece of me and my future had died. it was like someone snuffed out the only flame of hope i had at the time, like everywhere i looked people didn’t want me to exist. i found hope again eventually but not so easily.

luckily i was already reading copious amounts of clexa fanfic and the fic writers came in CLUTCH. i wouldn’t be able to count the number of fics ive read since then where lexa lives a long happy life with clarke (and anya). those fics got me through being a teenager and i can still read trigedasleng now because of them. i want to send all my gratitude and love towards the fic writers who got me and many many others through the grief of such a beloved character.

love you queen💕

It’s been 10 years.

So let’s talk about it. Ten years ago I was on the frontlines with many other queers watching in utter horror as our favorite new icon was murdered. Lexa was a fictional character, but she symbolized so much more. There wasn’t nearly as much sapphic representation on tv, let alone on such a widely accessible channel, ten years ago as there is now. We were already starved for it. We’d been gifted an amazing character. A badass, young, female warrior who grown ass men respected and followed without question, who lead her people with sensibility and compassion. And then we were given enemies to lovers. The conflicted, complex, emotional roller coaster that was Clarke and Lexa. Two powerhouses who didn’t fall in love easily, they had to fight for it. No wonder Clexa was so iconic.

But we were also skeptical. We shouted loudly “We’ve seen this before!” “We’re afraid she’s going to be killed!” “We don’t want another victim of ‘bury your gays!’”

And we were promised Lexa would live.

We were lied to.

The network showed clips of the season finale with Lexa in it, to lure us into a false sense of security. Then that night, March 3, 2016, they gave us the Clexa sex scene, they gave us happy Clexa, they told us she would be fine, then they shot her on screen and we all watched our icon die.

I was 24 years old, a lesbian yearning for any on screen representation, and finally finding an incredible source. I cried for weeks. It hurt for years. I genuinely grieve this fictional character. I’m still not over the injustice, I just live with it deep in my heart. Lexa is part of me now. I haven’t had interest in any sapphic shows since. I’d been raised on Tara Maclay, and witness to Lexa. I’ve mistrusted tv writers ever since because I don’t want to get my heart broken again.

I never watched a single episode of The 100 after 3x07. I’ve seen clips of Lexa’s appearances and mentions. I know the significance of the series finale. The only thing I can say is Thank You to Alycia who chose her finale appearance with grace and understanding of the impact Lexa had. She was not going to let them use Lexa to hurt us again.

This is why Lexa is so deeply important to me. She is my icon. She is a symbol of the pain and injustice we suffer in the LGBT community. She is a warrior and a leader. She is my Heda.

Reshop, Heda

Your disability advocacy isn't worth shit if it doesn't extend to hoarders by the way. Those houses you see on the channels of people who clean hoarders' houses for free? PEOPLE, alive human beings, who deserve rights and respect just like every other human being, own those "filthy/disgusting" houses. If you can't extend your advocacy to those people you're not an advocate. Btw.

How the fuck do you think they're ever going to reach out for help if they see everybody all the time shitting on them for being "disgusting" or "lazy" for something that spiraled out of their control due to depression, or ocd, or not being able to clean, or not having anyone to clean, etc etc etc. Living in a hoarding situation doesn't make anyone a bad person or filthy or undeserving of basic respect and love.
