i will always shout praises of bi4bi but given recent discourse I feel the need to say that I love bi4het too! I just love bisexuality in general in its many forms, and anyone who only likes it when it's 'queer enough' for them is biphobic. Bisexuals should be able to bring their LaMe CiShEt BoYfRiEnD to pride without being made to feel like spectators and outsiders to their own event.
#3 am queer discourse take <3#anyways hot take number two. cishets do belong at pride. everyone who wants to celebrate queerness should be welcomed at pride#if a completely cishet business major fratboy wants to come to pride and vibe with us then he should be welcomed!#not even like. oh he has a queer sibling. no. if he's just a cishet dude who wants to spend his saturday at a parade then hell yeah#like completely ignoring that you have no way to tell he's definitively those things. it shouldn't matter regardless imo#pride is not a secretive club you need to be let into. it's a feeling and a celebration and a statement and a state of being#and whatever you want it to be#burying my other related hot take under the tags readmore ksdjksdjksdj#idk. i'm just tired of a lot of the things people seem to think about bisexuality's validity relating to bi women specifically#this is frustration with the gatekeepy and straight-passing discourse of it all#I'm tired of people being expected to act and to preform and to BE queer enough for others' opinions.#am I still welcome if I haven't been with a woman in a few years? if I dress boring? if I like m/f? if I don't listen to chappell roan?#joking on that last one but like. idk. never straight enough for the straights but never gay enough for the gays#constantly some mercurial in-between that offers no comfortable easy group to put us in.#what do i have to do to not be judged as a filthy hettie? are my doc martens enough for you yet?#like oh sorry let me cuff my jeans and have a bob and wear a button up over a cami and wear etsy earrings. am I visually bi enough yet?#let me apologize for the cardinal sin of liking men too. let me wash my hands of any time a cishet man has held them.#if it was a bisexual man then just hand sanitizer is fine right? where do you draw the line on my queerness?#let me preform for you in a way that makes me queer enough.#anyways. sarcasm aside. I think I've made my distaste for this whole affair evident#if you don't want cishets at pride then what happens to those you incorrectly deem as cishet? do I need to prove myself to you?#am I passing as straight? am I passing as gay? am I enough for onlookers?#is it not enough to just show up at pride and celebrate? anyone and everyone who wants to?

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club:
A preliminary summary of confirmed arrests in the West Bank today since the start of the military operation announced by the occupation this morning, 28/08/2024: The "israeli" occupation forces have arrested at least 20 citizens since the start of the military operation announced in the West Bank. This figure includes confirmed cases as the raids continue throughout various areas of the West Bank, and it is subject to change hourly. Notably, among those arrested are children. The occupation forces continue to conduct field investigations in towns and refugee camps in the governorates of Tulkarem, Jenin, Tubas, and Ramallah. These investigations have involved dozens of citizens and have been accompanied by severe and horrifying abuses and violations against the people, leaving visible signs of torture and mistreatment on the bodies of those released later. Additionally, the occupation announced today the arrest of dozens of workers present in the 1948 occupied territories. It is noted that the "israeli" occupation forces have arrested over 10,300 citizens from the West Bank, including Al-Quds, since the beginning of the ongoing genocide war and comprehensive aggression against our people.

I'm thinking about trying for a 1/2 NaNo this year (considering that November starts in 2h for me, I need to make a decision FAST XD). I figured a 1/2 NaNo would be a more achievable goal as I still remember how hard a full NaNo had been years ago, while writing in my native langage, with the support of friends (most of who were doing the NaNo too) the first time.
But I've been thinking about a multi chapter GW fic for a few weeks now, haven't touched the beginning of chapter 1 since that one time I've created the word doc, but I kinda really like Heero and Duo's relationship in it and if I want to give an actual chance to this fic, I obviously need an excuse to commit to it... consistently.
Realistically, even "only" 833,3 words a day is a laughable goal but the point is to really try to write a bit every day...
Am I really going to do this? oh gosh...

Please may we have some regency recs from the local lyres book club? 🥺
ohh you mean regency romance? i'm not super In The Game as it is, but i can absolutely tell you my favourite one and the one i've most recently finished!
i think everyone who feels the feelings expressed in this post should read a seditious affair. everyone. it's well-researched and class-aware and well-executed. silas is an excellent character. if you're into 1810s radical politics, this book is for you; alternatively, if you could take or leave 1810s radical politics but enjoy a slow burn during which the characters are hooking up literally the entire time, it is also for you. (a gentleman's position from the same series is very good, too.)
a couple of days ago i finished letters to half moon street, a regency romance with a fantasy bend, and it was very sweet. i like when self-esteem issues are at the core of a plot's conflict, and this really hit every branch on the way down the Issues tree. its tone is warm and its protagonist is a fairly loveable wet cat of a man. recommend, even if i do think it could have fleshed out its love interest a bit better.
honourable mention: miss percy's pocket guide for the care and feeding of british dragons, which is not a romance and which i am of many minds about, but it still deserves a shoutout for having a dragon hatchling in its quaint and sensible little world.
hopefully there's something in here that sounds good to you, anon!

Quick! Your OCs are being dragged to the dancefloor by a friend - how do they react? Does the amount of people around influence that reaction? Or the kind of music played maybe?
GHFNFJDJFHB!? What a fun question omfg
Chuu has a vice grip on the sofa she’s sitting on if there’s more than 5 people at a party lmao. She’s not gettin up. N o p e. (Can sometimes be lured out onto the dance floor with a Waltzing number, but will rarely stay for longer than 2 songs before she’s found a way to slither out of being an active party participant. She’d rather chill and eat snacks and watch OTHER people look silly on the dance floor.)
Tuesday is ecstatic to be invited to the dance floor- but he only really knows how to do the stuffy Ishgardian Ball Dance when he first gets invited out to a party lmfao. The amount of people present doesn’t really impact his willingness to come out to the dance floor, but once he learns more ways to dance or even how to just, ‘feel it’ and make it up as he goes he gets much more excited about dancing to upbeat or quicker songs. He is Very good at not stepping on Toes :) (almost as if somebody didn’t want to deal with smushed toes…. 🤔)
Tangy is so zazzed to dance. She is…. Not the best at ballroom dancing or like, whatever you wanna call a couples dance, so. Watch your toes! It doesn’t matter how many people are there but being the center of attention can be kinda daunting :’> she’d rather dance to more upbeat music than slow dances so she’ll probs bow out for drinks and a snack during those to take a breather sjfjdkfs … pls also imagine her doing classic ‘dad’ dance moves or something from the Peanuts x3 [cut cos it’s Long 🫢]
….. 🤔 Ishi will gladly dance with a friend (or friends!) at smaller gatherings- and even invite others out to the floor x3 but at bigger more official events? She’s probably grateful for the excuse to step away from whatever Politically Charged Chat she’s been roped into regarding allied tribes or intercity relations. (She isn’t trained in dance, but will readily learn and follow somebody else’s lead •v•)
Mochiie is someone who’s reluctant to take an invite to the dance floor no matter how many people are present if there’s already people dancing and there’s not much space. He’s uh… conscious of his tail. (Poor guy sent a lalafellin couple sprawling once when he got tangled up in his feet, so he tries to be Overly Cautious now)
😂 Colette will indulge a friend in a dance, and relies more on being able to lift/twirl/dip her dance partner for flair - it’s an All-Eyes-On-Them situation. If Eorzean weapons didn’t have a habit of cracking under the pressure she’d probably be a tank. She prefers music with dramatic flair, to match her flashy dancing style. She laughs a lot more when it’s a Smaller group, there’s less performance pressures 🤧 (I should REALLY pose her dancing with Setsuna at some point… I’ll have to bug my partner for some files x3)
🤔🤔🤔 Levraut was the hardest for me to figure out. He’s classically trained in Ishgardian Dance? But he hates it. He thinks the whole thing looks silly, and he’s not so into huge parties (since they’re usually hosted by The Rich And Influential And Expect A Certain Class Of People yk) … he’d be a hilarious ‘sexy lamp’ for someone to dance with though… I think it would take him some time to feel comfortable dancing in the center of everything but he wouldn’t mind kinda grooving in place around the edges.
Until he’s 5 cups in. And then you have to haul him off the dance floor before he makes more of a fool of himself than he currently is, and tries to start a fight with the Violinist, because it quote ‘sounds like you’re killing the cat what made the strings all over again’ (regardless of if that’s true or not; a drunken Lev craves Rowdy Brawling and will Incite It)
… 🤨 I think that’s everyone if only because I don’t have a solid idea what the Trio would be like in a Party situation
