(+IMPORTANT) (Nov,2023)-A Bit Fruity Podcast (created by Matt Bernstein (gay American Jewish man) Ep with Moe Dabbagh, a gay Palestinian American with family currently in Gaza. ‘Queers for Palestine & The Power of Pinkwashing’. Palestine has been occupied for more than 76 years now, since 1948 year. This ep gives you a LOT of information, especially if you are one of the people who can’t see right through the propaganda; or the ones who go ‘well if you’re gay then go to Gaza and see how that goes for you’. Queer Liberation is a liberation of Palestinian people. We can’t have one without the other. Free Palestine. Free all the people that are not yet free. This is where we start!!

Credit: Anything That Moves / The poem continues, but the point is clear from the start: Bisexual people aren't believed for who they are. They're belittled and told to "choose a side," that they're bisexual for attention. It's difficult to think that this poem is over 30 years old. The poem "truly could've been written yesterday... or 50 years ago," said Marshall. "How long do we have to keep screaming the same things to the world over and over until people stop pretending we're speaking another galaxy's language?" --- The solace of Anything That Moves, however, is that even though progress has been slow, fellow bisexual people can relate to the shared experience detailed in its pages.:https://www.tumblr.com/yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere/770848263124500480?source=share

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

[duckbunny]

fun fact about character development by the way. you can make them develop worse.

[duckbunny]

like I mean this very seriously as writing advice. the character should experience events and make decisions that make them different at the end of the story. they should be changed. they do not have to be improved.

they can get worse. they can make decisions of an increasingly terrible nature. they can stop taking risks on kindness. they can discover how much they can get away with. they can find religion, or abandon it, with negative effects on their moral creed. the character has to develop. the character does not have to grow.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

You've gotta think for yourself. Like you actually have to do research and talk to people and learn different perspectives and come to your own conclusions instead of basing your opinions and politics solely on what the people you follow online say. You've gotta form your own thoughts and not buckle the moment one of your mutuals gets mad at you for disagreeing with them.

"My mutual told me I was wrong about this extremely complex topic and I should shut up forever so I immediately deleted all my posts about it and made several apologies and I'll never ever disagree with my mutuals again and even after all that they still blocked me and are talking shit about me but I deserve that, I just have to be better" please stop this.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

It's actually very sad and kinda embarrassing how often I post about my opinion on something and people in the notes will be like "wow you're right this thing that I loved until this exact moment is actually evil and disgusting and I need to make a formal apology for ever thinking about it in any positive way" like hello? Do you not have a spine?? Are you so incapable of thinking for yourself that you're letting strangers online do it for you instead???

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Thinking for yourself also means recognizing when you're tokenizing other people and using them as an excuse to not examine your own internalized beliefs and biases btw.
