I don't think people really understand how online the argument against the word "queer" is. It's not a debate in real life. It's just what we are. Our community. It's really easy to forget that if your only social outlet in spaces with other queers is the internet. It's queer. It's been queer. It's not going anywhere. This is a non debate.

#Yeah every now and then you get a terf brave enough to curl a lip #And they promptly get laughed out of whatever space they're being weird in #It's queer #Queer queer queer queer #I have queer events saved in my photos to maybe go to #Events with queer in the name #Events by queer people for queer people #Real life interactions ffs #Get yourselves a few #I mean I knew but it's really nice to be reminded #I am talking about America/the western world specifically here

Great so now we're outing children/teenagers to their parents! And therefore possibly endangering them! Fantastic!

If there is one thing I learned this week, it's that you really can just say something absolutely untrue, and there is a strong chance barely anyone is going to check it.

#I'm just thinking how a lot of those things somerton said in his videos I LARGELY heard back from other people #like through posts and online rhetoric #which is not only interesting but extremely shocking considering a large part of it is queer history #aka history more at risk for being lost and/or inaccurate #it is just wild and people heard that and just keep on lying in a vicious cycle #this isn't exclusive to him and this current internet event I could name many other such instances #squack

I frequently feel completely isolated no matter how much I talk to people. So that's fun

#sorry if anyone sees these im tired of using my personal discord servet to vent. i always spiral too much #anyways i have an idea for a good poem to write for class because of recent events #ughhhh idk i just wish i wasnt so annoying about asking if i can open ip to people #or if someone would just ask if i was okay. i mean actually id probably lie i am not actually good at being open.#but like hey idk it feels nice to feel like people genuinely want to know #ughhhhfhfhf i do this to myself sometimes JSHSJSKDJDJD #welp its just how life goes. i feel lonely all the time and i soldier on #surely helping the next person will make me feel better! nope. surely helping yhis next person will make me feel better! nope. surely-#tgats me. thats what i sound like #yeah idk it feels like everyone is going through something worse than me so itd be a moral failing on my part #to ask them if i could just like. feel bad. noticeably #not even talk about it just look down and out of it for a day #yknow i emailed one of my teachers asking permission to go by a new preferred name #this is at like. a massive very queer and trans art school.#and i asked him permission to do this #and i was joking with my friends about how pathetic i sounded in it #and one of them patted me on the head and said “there there buddy” like very jokingly #but i almost cried because thats the first time in so long someone has like. really tried to comfort me #or shown me much physical affection #my mom gives me hugs and stuff but thats always about her. i dont blame her shes got a lot of stuff going on #but idk its really selfish of me but i just wanna have people see me and feel bad for me and it be about my pain for a little while #ill get over it im just being a teenager but shit god fucking damnit #i just want a break from feeling like my world is falling apart #then getting some footing #then it falling apart again #okay i feel a bit better now better stop the complain train JDJDJSKSJD #hey why do i never hear that it rhymes and everything thays so good #damn i gotta use that more #welp weve reached our stop sorry if anyone ever read thjs. hope you have a nice day tho lol

On the last (two) Meta Knightmare(s)...

First, a shadowy storm on Dream Land prompted a conveniently present Kirby to pull out roughly this plan to the Knights.

And the Knights' resulting journey to recruit everyone produced success on paper, but mixed feelings to put it lightly.

Sorry for missing the last meme, but Chapters 8 and 9 of MKMIV: The Unforgettable Star-Studded Finale out now on AO3!

I'm not out yet, but I was able to get away with wearing a pride shirt that my grad school department made. Today was the first time I wore it in public. I'm working at the school library right and someone came up to me and told me they liked my shirt and happy pride. I'm over here smiling and trying not to cry. That was the first time someone told me happy pride in real life. Today's a great day. Happy Pride y'all!!

#I was honesty a little nervous about wearing the shirt #my mom actually bought it for me at this ceremony but she wanted to get me another shirt that represented the event #but i always wanted to get this one so she ended up buying me both #when i first brought it home my brother made a comment about the rainbow and did it have to say pride #i never wore it since because i didn't want him to say anything #anyways at work i have name tag with my pronouns on them 'she/they'#which I've only told my friend and i keep it at work so my family doesn't know #it's pretty sad how i have to hide part of myself when I'm at home but nice to see the community outside of my house #my family aren't the only people in the world and that's not going to be my life forever #I'm trying to practice gratitude and find the little things in life every day so I don't get all down about everything else #it helps for the most part #one comment can really mean so much to a person and change their day #i know today was a good day #happy pride #lgbt #queer #pride #nonbinary #aroace

not to be pre transition trans on main (actually to be very pre transition on main) but not being who i want to be and looking how i what to look is so FRUSTRATING. it is ANGER INDUCING. i love dresses and i want to keep my hair long!! but when i try to make an outfit with the new dresses i got i dont look anything like how i want to look. i just look like a girl. nothing i try makes me look (quote unquote) masculine. so i cant wear the clothes that i really want to wear and they sit in my closet and i get really unhappy because i wear the same thing every day and then i try to make an outfit and then i remember why i dont try. etc the cycle continues. ive legit considered shaving my head again because i looked slightly more masculine. but i dont want to have to regrow my hair again. but no matter what way i style it its not good. im just really upset

#sorry to vent instead of posting art #but its just. ARGHHGHH #if anyone has any suggestions please let me know #and for context #im not out currently to my parents. not because they wouldnt accept me. its just i really dread doing it. i wish i could just get it over #with. i dont want it to be a big event. i just want it to be a fact and then move forward #lowkey thinking about changing my name legally when i get enough money to and then just showing them #but yeah #just. upset #vent #tw vent #gender dysphoria #tw dysphoria #pre transition #transgender #queer #i dont even know what to tag here. but like i said genuinely looking for some tips #ty for reading

does anyone else ever get the urge to dress their loved ones up like little barbie dolls? like i love you so much i want to tell you what to wear and watch you prance around in the cute little outfit i picked for you!!!!

#personal #i am sappy today cause i had therapy and cried a bunch first thing in the day #and it felt so good to get those feelings out #ough man i love my therapist #this post is not abt my therapist btw this is a tangent in the notes #they told me this AM tht i was the only patient they gotta worry abt seeing irl (cause most of their other patients are in another city)#and then we laughed about how we realized we knew EXACTLY what queer events in the city the other was reffing just by name #and we agreed we would just avoid each other in public unless the circumstance demands we say hi then we will be nice ot each other

9 and 17 please!

9. Fake dating or arranged marriage?

Fake dating, absolutely no question. It's my favorite trope of all time. Give me all the fake dating, always, please! (but I wouldn't pass up arranged marriage either...)

17. Describe a fic that is still in the ‘ideas’ stage.

I have a mostly blank doc titled 'Imaginary Patrick' which I have some ideas for (I think I have a handwritten outline started in one of my notebooks somewhere, lol, because before I decided on Library Boy I was planning to write this for NaNoWriMo) but I keep going back and forth on how serious it's going to be, because originally the idea was pretty dark (but still with a happy ending because... always) but I keep thinking of ways to lighten it up. Unfortunately I can't give too much of a description because this still lives mostly in my head and I don't want to give anything away, but I feel like the title gives some clues.

#thanks for asking!#I also have an idea that is basically nothing more than the name of a support group and/or event for queer writers: LGBTQuill #not sure if that's clever or dumb but I liked it enough to open a doc lol #actually. um. I kinda want to create that now 😁#I feel like a lot of us could use it

#my newest hire was a cishet man which like great except everyone here is queer to some capacity #no big deal but uhhh the owner jumps at the chance to pay cis men more/give them more oppurtunities #like this guy STARTED at the same wage as my keyholder that's been here for a year (who the owner regularly forgets the name of)#the owner puts so much faith in cis men but the last THREE that have worked here have all left/been fired within months #bc they realize that they get paid mode than all the “female” staff and slack off within weeks of working here #like idk how many times I'm going to have to listen to a man say he respects me transitioning #and then doesnt respect my leadership at all #like I am the manager #I have been manager for nearly a year and before that I was assistant Manager for 7 months #I know how to do more in the internal systems than the owner himself does #do I get paid enough? no #(I mean none of us do it's ridiculous)#but like this man (new hire) is talking shit bc he went to an event with the owner yesterday and is 'spilling the tea' about things he said #and like it is all stuff that the guy has commented on himself so im like 🤨 owner never says that to my face that's funny #he even said 'J is great but don't fall into his leadership habits' like what the fuck does that mean?#I order for TWO of your stores #I am learning how to use the $5k coffee roaster you just bought when im used to a $600 because I OFFERED #I am loyal to everyone here and the customers I will always make nice with them and have countless connections through them including #to over a dozen restaurants/suppliers that buy in bulk from us that the owner DOESNT bc hes cocky and thinks he doesnt have to #but 🤪 I'm soooo lazy and don't do anything #we are the biggest location in the snobbiest part of this town I take entitlement in stride #but not if it's coming from a new hire who jokes 'maybe if you had a penis he'd like you more'#😂😂 kill yourself homie I have more balls than you do

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?

Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.

All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)

But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.

But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.

I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?

It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.

Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

#this is the grandmother who passed away unexpectedly earlier this month #she was so cool yall #and so weird #they got married twice by the way once when Massachusetts legalized it and once when New Mexico did #they hiked the grand canyon together #they had a european river cruise planned for this fall #she was 89 and she wanted to see the whole world with her wife #and they were working on it #literally i thought they were roommates #and there was only one bed
