Have been thinking this every time I see this kind of thing but couldn't put it to words. Thank you!

🗣 DIVERSITY IS NOT SAMENESS.

My sickbay is a safe space for people of all species, races, genders, sizes, abilities, and anyone willing to behave kindly towards others. Mask up in your ongoing pandemic. Also remember to take your medicines, hydrate, and dress warmly on your alternate plane of existence. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Body positivity absolutely must extend to disabled bodies. And that's disabilities of any kind. Disabilities by illness, disabilities by birth, acquired disabilities. Facial differences, limb differences, bodies that move atypically, adaptive tech and medical equipment that serves as a part of your body. If this is you, you deserve the space to navigate a complex relationship with your body. You deserve the tools to learn to love your unique body and make it feel loved. You deserve to be surrounded by people that truly love your body as it is.

(If you are disabled and are not able to love your body all the time, that's okay too. But you deserve to have the option; you deserve the tools to try.)

To all the people who think aspec people aren't LGBTQIA+ because we aren't "discriminated against enough", here's a lovely list of reasons why you need to educate yourself:

- We suffer from dehumanisation, people actively devaluing or even erasing our humanity because of our identities (The voidpunk community is heavily supported by aspec people because of this)

- We suffer from self hatred due to feeling as if and being told we are broken, that no one can be happy unless they're in a romantic/sexual relationship, because of allonormativity and amatonormativity that actively damages our mental health

- Amatonormativity shapes laws that put us at an active disadvantage, such as giving married people financial and legal benefits

- Aspec people have been victims of conversion therapy, correctional rape, a lower quality of life, and other effects of being a marginalised and oppressed group

- We suffer from our identities being pathologised and deal with medical stigma because of this, causing many of us to feel unwelcome in and even avoid health care settings

- We suffer from our identities being erased, which can range from people completely denying our existence and people equating it to celibacy, to an almost complete absence of aspec representation in the media (It's been getting better lately, especially for alloaces and aroaces, but I have yet to ever see a canon aroallo character, and representation for those on the spectrum rather than in the extremes is often ignored)

- YOU are creating a hateful, exclusionary space in a community meant to be about inclusion. The same thing that happens to us happens to bisexual people, to polyamorous people, and other identities that are "disputed." In a community meant to be about rejecting the norm, YOU are shoving us out because we don't fit the norm of being LGBTQIA+. Because we're not enough like you.

These are only a few examples of aphobia that people like me deal with. Discrimination and oppression against aspec people stretches far beyond this.

But even if it didn't, it is disrespectful and harmful to everyone involved to gatekeep membership in the community based on oppression and discrimination.

We aren't LGBTQIA+ because we experience oppression. We are LGBTQIA+ because our existence alone goes against heteronormativity and other societal norms forced upon us.

hey gang, in the event of project 2025 coming about, make sure to archive media that will literally be illegal if it were to happen.

ARCHIVE

ARCHIVE

ARCHIVE

Please for the love of god archive

Now WHY should you archive? Well…

according to page 36-37 of project 2025 it states the following

To quote, “P*rnography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered”

ok…well what constitutes as p*rn? The answer is

THEY DONT GIVE ONE

so please archive media

Never has there been 2 Plus-Size Male Models on the cover of any fashion magazine. This industry is not for the weak. I have been pursuing modeling for some time now and the opportunities to be included in fashion are still very slim. It can be very discouraging. But moments like this remind me of the reason why I chose this path. One day plus size inclusion will be normalized in fashion and ultimately that’s the goal. 10 years ago this shoot would’ve never been considered for a cover, let alone included in the publication. This is a reminder to keep fighting the good fight. Plus male models deserve the opportunity to be showcase in fashion editorials, runway and campaigns just like the standard size male models. We represent a silhouette and can create artistic narrative through physicality as well. I have faith we will get there. This type of visibility is a huge win for the plus size community. I’m so happy.

Something that I've learned recently is how truly homophobic people are. The smallest hint of queerness in media is immediately shutdown by angry parents, severe christians, or just regular everyday homophobic people. The amount of straight representation compared to queer representation is insane. 1 queer individual could be indroduced into a show, and now people throw a fit and claim "The gays are taking over and shoving their agenda down our throats" when for the past hundreds of years, the media has been predominantly filled with hetero relationships, and it still is. If you choose to click on a random show on netflix and watch it, there will most likely be only hetero characters. There's a chance you might get a queer character or two, but that is very slim unless the show has been labeled as a queer show. I've just found it interesting at how people react to things like this, and then claim that they are the ones being put down for existing/talking about their beliefs.
