honestly forget all the time that joan of arc is a saint and that people like her catholicly instead of lesbianly or transgenderly or both

sometimes my cat will suddenly go very fast. But don't let this fool you. It does not reflect an urgent change in circumstances

as usual, i've totally dropped the ball on valentine's day promotion for my paper flower shop lol but! hi! i'm jd and i make paper flowers on etsy. there are all kinds of pride themes (because queer love just hits better; don't tell my cishet customers lolol) and also garlands and un-themed flowers.

the link to my shop is here.

listen. when i see posts spreading blatant political misinformation coming from a place of fear, which will certainly cause more fear, my hackles go UP. and that isn't because i am underestimating what conservative US leadership will do, and it's not because i am ignorant to the rise of fascism in the west.

my hackles are up because fear mongering is unhelpful, dangerous, and going to hurt the most vulnerable among us.

i read a thread recently (would link to it but i can't remember the source) about how we cannot let ourselves do the government's work for them. that means not complying to laws that haven't been passed yet, and then continuing to not comply, as we're able, even if they are passed. we need to resist. we need to make them actually enforce these laws. and then we need to take it to court, and appeal, and keep resisting. don't do the dirty work for the far right. don't PRE-obey fascist laws.

i view a lot of these "omg look what identity the government is banning now!" posts as a kind of pre-obedience. and what's really upsetting is what these posts can and will do to LGBTQ+ youth.

LGBTQ+ youth suicidality is already 4x the average (source) and LGBTQ+ mental health outcomes are worse when shitty legislation is in the news circuit/being passed (source). i worry about trans youth specifically when terrifying-sounding misinformation is spread. how are you supposed to resist and survive if everyone around you is doomsday'ing? how do you even know resistance is possible when the information you're getting is 1) incorrect and 2) the most frightening version of potential events possible?

we NEED to be actually informed on these matters, and we need to share information responsibly. it's truly and honestly a matter of life and death.

and if you're a young LGBTQ+ person: we need you to live. we need you to survive this appalling, hateful presidential term and every other to come. we need you to believe in a better world and build that world with us. we need you.

(here is a list of LGBTQ-friendly crisis lines that do not work with the police. be safe and let's take care of each other!)

elementary may have been copaganda but they were really onto something with their version of holmes he’s autistic. he’s a sub. he’s canonically into bondage. he’s a recovering addict. he keeps bees. he’s tattooed AND hairy. his posture is insane. he texts in a near-undecipherable string of abbreviations and acronyms. he’s the most irritating man in new york city. he’s even aromantic

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

glad that we’re talking about Alison Bechdel being a terf again. really hoping that fact breaks into the general cultural zeitgeist this time but not holding my breath
