#Events with queer in the name

[stardustedknuckles]

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.

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

someone's gotta do the necessary work of being a little shit in the name of the Lord...

...and if not me, then who?

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

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!!

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

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!!!!

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.

I’m fucking venting here bc I’m angry and don’t have anyone to talk to and I’m not sure if this is political correct or right or whatever but I’m fucking pissed - I’m a public school teacher who works in the inner city and this year alone there have been two shootings in my neighborhood involving students not dying school hours- and one student who went missing due to gang ties (they were found ALIVE a DAYS later) -

I’m fucking TIRED I’m FREAKED OUT and I’m ANGRY because I have to go into work tomorrow and I have to have that conversation with the kids during our SEL block because they will have questions and bc they are in middle school some will not know how to process it and will joke while others will be genuinely upset

and I feel nauseous thinking about the fact that my mother and four of my closest friends are all going through the same fucking shit as teachers at different schools right now- and my roommate who is trans- and unrelated to his identity is also kinda an asshole- has been shitting on me all night about how I’m not I’m danger like he is and how I don’t know his pain (and while I’m not making excuses I’m an openly gay teacher who works directly with the lgbt students and activly educated my kids on trans rights AND I work for a nonprofit organization that directly works to protect trans and queer rights and JUST LAST WEEK put out a video for our organization on antitrans laws - I’m not saying I fucking get what it’s like to be trans but Jesus fuck I’m fighting the fight for trans youth more than you are working at Whole Foods) why the FUCK are you quantifying suffering, why the FUCK are you lashing out at ME of all people, and why the fuck are you telling a public school teacher in inner city Boston that I have no idea what it’s like to be afraid- motherfucker I’m angry I’m sorry but why the fuck are you monopolizing suffering why do you think you have the right to talk to me this fucking way. I get you are scared but you work in Whole Foods in Massachusetts- the bluest state there is- )

there is no fucking cap on grief- sorry I’m upset at this as well but you saying it doesn’t directly effect me is just so fucking ignorant and suffering shouldn’t be quantifiable mf we are on the same fucking side why are you infighting right now (and I know this isn’t relevant and this is entirely unrelated to him being trans but god he is so fucking sexist- saying shit like I have no idea what it’s like to have my bodily autonomy at risk as if roe v wade didn’t get overturned THIS year???) sometimes it pisses me off like fucking sorry I’m being over emotional and overreacting to a school shooting as a fucking public school teacher GOD I should be allowed to be angry too in my own goddamn apartment-

you don’t get to sit on your high horse and say you suffer more than me and that I’m not allowed to be afraid ok I’m done I’m gonna go in tomorrow and make sure to hug my one openly trans kid extra hard bc I know they are suffering just like I know my roomate is suffering and needs a place to express his anger- I get I’m an easy target bc I’m a safe person to lash out at and I’m not telling anyone how to grieve and I know a lot of this is just knee jerk reaction to violence and anger- I just wish he wasn’t expressing it at the one fucking person who doesn’t deserve it, like fuck, the one thing people always say about public school teachers is that we have it TOO easy, especially the night after a school shooting

*Also fuck terfs and fuck anyone who is using a tragedy as an excuse to hate trans people*
