Hello there 💕

You can call me A.

34, She/her, cis(n’t?) stone/high OFOS femme lesbian, white, chronically ill/disabled, fat. Lucky enough to have one of those rare, taller butches over 5’4”.

TERFs/RadFems/GCs/Gender Crits, SWERFs, racism, antisemitism, zionists, anti blackness, homophobia, lesbophobia, and general non terf related transphobia are not welcome here, and minors/ageless and pro-ED/ANA blogs will always catch a block. If you make it hard to find explicitly trans (especially trans women and trans lesbians) supportive posts on your blog you’re going to get blocked.

This blog welcomes trans women and non lesbian sapphics, however I firmly believe being a lesbian means not being attracted to men.

(Please respect DNIs on posts)

Also if I see shit making fun of or questioning stone identities or butches/studs/masc sapphics on your blog, you will get blocked. I have zero time for people who can’t be respectful of boundaries, sexual or otherwise.

I’ve been here on this blog for over a decade on the same handle. It’s not explicitly a theme blog of any sort, and there will be nsft stuff here. I personally don’t follow back if you’re under 23 but I don’t mind if you follow me as long as you’re over 18.

I have some of my major tags below. I tag kind of inconsistently- sorry!

#Femme posting for femme identity/femme thoughts. My post about what having longer nails as a femme means to me is tagged here.

#Not femme posting is the stray things I have longer thoughts about but aren’t related to being femme. Right now I am several Big Sads ™️ and so you might find some stuff on grief and loss there too.

#my face is what it says on the label!

I have a weird and niche job! Sometimes I post about it under #death work and #death work adjacent. If you have questions you can ask- I’ll likely answer as long as it’s not too revealing.

Mutuals are super welcome to send me a DM. I’m kind of shy but I’m pretty friendly.

Anons are welcome and my ask box is open. Be nice and behave yourself and we’ll have a great time.

Do you ever think about how so much of the deadly anti-science rhetoric that fills America today and is killing countless vulnerable people can be directly traced back to one fucking guy who decided to just straight-up lie about vaccines causing autism because it would make him a profit? Do you ever think about that? Because I think about it a lot.

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.

[heydocverdant]

you’ve heard of vitamin B, now get ready for bee vitamins

happy pride to Black lesbians and Black trans women!

Trevor Noah interviewing Judith “Badass” Heumann

x

[neroushalvaus]

I’m glad so many people have discovered Judith “Judy” Heumann through this silly little gif set. I am sorry to say she has died at the age of 75. She was known as the mother of disability rights. In 1970 she sued the Board of Education to become a licensed teacher and she won. In 1977 she was one of the organizers of the 504 Sit-in, a 24 day protest for disability rights. You can learn more about her story from her book Being Heumann, the picture book Fighting for YES! or the documentary Crip Camp.

Judy Heumann believed in the inherent value of each disabled individual and would never back down on what she thought was right. Her friends and fellow activists remember her as a strong leader.

Judy Heumann

December 18, 1947 - March 4, 2023

May her memory be for a blessing.

[changeling-droneco]

I did a paper on her for one of my college classes! She’s so cool! Here’s some facts!

She’s Jewish and born to immigrant german parents who migrated in the 1930s

She has been in a wheelchair for nearly her entire life due to contacting polio at a very young age.

Due to her wheelchair, she was actually barred from most schooling including kindergarten as her wheelchair was deemed as a “risk.” because it could be “in the way” if there was a fire.

She was the first wheelchair teacher in New York after suing when she was once again denied her license for the same reasons she was denied kindergarten.

She worked as the Assistant Secretary of Education for OSERS for 8 years

Her parents, especially her mother, were big parts in her becoming an activist as her mother Ilse was a community organizer and fought hard to get her daughter as much education as she could, it was her activism that helped her daughter and other disabled children be allowed to enroll in High School instead of being separated into a specific disabled school. (We don’t have time to go into all that but tldr; those schools sucked and its a genuine accomplishment disabled kids no longer have to learn in like, cramped attics that didn’t teach anything)

She was a founder of the organization Disabled in Action! She didn’t just organize sit-ins, she helped RUN the organization that was organizing them!

The president she butted heads with the most was Richard Nixxon, this isn’t that important I just know everyone loves when he gets dunked on

She helped CREATE THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION ACT!!! I cannot express to you just how important that is, if you have basically any kind of disability, this act is a big reason you were able to go to a public school instead of being shoved into a warehouse.

The Black Panthers helped with the 504 sit-in! They helped bring food because the organization also included black disabled people, and one of the members of both, Brad Lomax, asked for help!

She had a podcast! You can go listen to that podcast right now!

Honestly just check out her website in general

She also founded the Berkeley Center for Independent Living!!

Honestly I could keep going on but she’s genuinely one of my heroes and was an amazing person who it is not an underestimate to say changed the world for the better.

May her memory be a blessing!!! May the disabled community always remember how much of it was built on the work and back of a disabled Jewish woman!!!

I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.
