#and im a queer woc......

[iheartmoons]

my toxic trait is that i think i can get as famous as taylor swift...

[twowivestwoknives]

look while i'm greatful i had the media literacy to spot immediately that they were gonna do the "if we have a lesbian (esp of colour) she HAS to be a cop" trop with cait and thus was 0% invested in her and Vi from the start, this last szn was just. broke my heart to see what they did to Vi.

breaks my heart more to see so many young queer ppl unironically thinking that is a /good/ lesbian relationship.

like, I know fandom hates butches/gnc/trans lesbians and comma yall are just gonna go ham for a ridiculously abusive relationship? Vi's character has been beaten into submission by loss, by making the "wrong choice" over and over again; now that she has lost everyone who ever mattered, her desperation for Cait isn't out of love, it's out of need to have fulfilled at least one role, one expectation correctly. and she has no one else so she will do anything not to fuck it up. it's textbook trauma responses and coping.

Cait tried to kill her, tried to GAS HER ENTIRE CITY, cheated, tried repeatedly to KILL HER SISTER and isolate Vi from her entire community, demeans her, talks down to her, treats her like she's stupid, and only acts like she likes her when she's running from something and feels out of control herself so needs something (she doesn't even see Vi as a someone) else to control.

At the end, when she called her Violet? I nearly cried. That fucking hurt. And when Vi went back with a pet name? I knew that hurt her too, and she was just trying to appease, appease, appease. She has no one else, she's failed everyone she was told she had to protect, she can't fail anyone else again, but the price of that with Cait is failing herself.

Yall are so happy to see butches be abused and call it goals, and that speaks novels about how you feel about GNC dykes.

A female artist/celebrity: Hey, while I'm really happy for all the support you guys as my fans have shown me, can we please establish some boundaries? Some things are starting to make me uncomfortable. Again, I'm grateful but--

Said people the response was aimed towards: Oh so now she thinks she's too good for us? She's so ungrateful, letting all the fame get to her head. Doesn't she know that without us, she wouldn't be as famous? She should just suck it up!

Actionable things to do, from a white childless non-usa womanoid:

- Think global act local

- Act woman-owned, woc/poc-owned, queer-owned, indigenous-owned as much as possible. Research which companies' parent companies should not be given money.  

-uplift women of colour, and lgbtqia+ and femme people whenever you can, know when your voice should be the loudest but give others who sorely need a voice have not just their turn but their respect too. Let them know openly and politely when they have earned some of your admiration, and stand up for them in social situations, if it is safe to do so. Find safe people, we have strength in numbers too. Ask around at libraries and youth group and elder activity halls if theres a space theyd be willing to help you set up a community garden in

- Decenter men, decenter money, focus on community and kindness.

  * adhere to the 4b movement and/or other woman+kindness-focused ideals that appeal to you with as much longterm conviction as you can find. We have been strong for so long and we can continue to be until we do not Need to be Strong anymore. We can, and will, get this right and make the world tender again. But we have to be strong enough for now to recognize our issues are each-others and we need to start with building a community where we are and building it out globally from there. We need to be amplifying the voices of the most truly deeply hurt peoples within our local communities and assisting those people the most, to build companionship and community and creativity and kindness and compassion into our joint futures. We need to not continue to isolate groups of people down further and encourage fear and distrust, this is what They want. Redirect people who are trying into genuine ways to help, instead of berating or complaining. Our issues might not be the same but they stem from the same roots of misogynistic bullshit and it's more important now maybe than ever to stand united and start fixing things locally first from a place of understanding, not separation.

- Find local shelters or soup kitchens or nonprofit places that primarily help women and/or poc and/or queer people, or facilities that supply safe sexual and reproductive health services for people with utersus, and volunteer in whichever way you can. Things that help often include serving food, preparing food that can be served or heated easily, donating cans or nonperishables. You can also donate blankets and clothes directly to the folk using the shelters if you're unsure of the people ‘running’ the place. Handmade items (knitting, crochet, quilting, sewing, etc.) might be a creative outlet for any frustrations felt too, keep in mind as many body-types that might make use of your item as possible. Some facilities might accept donations in the form of cleaning, or hosting their community bake-sales, or admin, or various other tasks so ask what kind of help they might need that would suit your personal skillset and limitations.

- Acquire books on edible gardening, on human anatomy and medical knowledge, -including mental health knowledge,- on cooking especially with cheap and shelf-stable ingredients. Find books on camping, survivalist tips, and general DIY tips for furniture and clothing and home-maintenance. Plumbing, witchcraft, electricity, tiling, any other book of practical skills could be useful too. Books written by (woc)women and queer people should be your first choice but take what you can get. Thrift stores often have cheap books (or are sometimes willing to give some away if you’re kind enough) but of course this does depend on where you live so acquire books in whichever way is most accessible to you. You can screenshot/save any information you find on the internet too, but it might be a good idea to print or write it out as well, and be sure to get information from smart, women, of colour, who know what they're talking about.

- if youre able, purchase as many contraceptive options and menstrual products as you can. Do not advertise that you have these, give them out to trusted women in need when needed. Do not hoard them, allow other menstruators to purchase them too but do look up the shelf-life of each product. Ive heard that a planB has a shelf life of four years, so thats possibly worth stocking up on, if you have the space and finances and support from within your home. I've not confirmed this though so please take this information with a grain of salt.

- get familiar with your body, aquire sex and selfpleasure toys, learn to use the tools you have safely to reach orgasm or whatever sexual satisfaction means to you. Be honest with yourself about your needs and limits. Post-nut clarity shouldn't be pushed to the backburner for women and femmes and it should be attained without the help of a man whenever possible. Emotional regulation will be hard but this is one of the best ways to stay focused and keep your body and mind from acting out out of a place of loneliness and self-hate. Dance, sing, scream, orgasm, create, do it all as primally as your vessel can handle to regulate, to activate social, empathy, and love and happiness centers of your brain and body.

- Don’t use period trackers or fertility trackers or any such websites/applications. Keep yourself safe online, use usernames and pseudonyms and nicknames that aren't identifiable back to your real life. Keep details of your real life limited to trusted people in trusted circles. Keep community in mind but use discretion as to who’s truly a trustworthy person to tell your thoughts or experiences to. 

- Australians call and write and email your states leaders, everybody do this actually but Aus is rapidly approaching its own crisis-scenario so make your voice heard, make your wishes clear, keep your intentions away from discussion with political heads but remain focused and concise with the outcome of upcoming potential bills and laws that you want to see. Make it clear and factual what you don't want to see too, without making it into personal threats or insults (despite how much you might want to sling some choice words toward your resident Rich Whiteman). Statistics are your friend here but remain honest with yourselves about where the stat comes from and about how Statistics are often played with for the benefit of the author.

***I’m too stressed to think lately. As I find or think of more tips i’ll add them. Please stay safe ladies. Carry a hammer, any weaponry you feel confident to use. Know that knifework can be dangerous to you if you’re not experienced at it. Know too that you must survive. Out of hope, out of spite, out of rage or love you must survive. We can not lose this battle when we have been fighting it for so long. Do not give up now. Please. Rest when you need but please, do not give up now. <3

wow it really does not escape my notice that every young person being assimilated on the Titan bridge crew are POC, one of them queer. meanwhile the old cis white people are unaffected and tasked with saving the day. 🐸

It's giving... let's joust and then I'll steal your wife

[butchlifeguard]

the she/theys vs he/theys and wlw vs mlm posts are symptoms of a larger problem within the queer community 👍

Now THAT’S what I CALL BI-ERASURE! Featuring such hits as:

They’re not ACTUALLY bi, its for attention!!

But if she’s with a man, it means she straight!

But if he’s with a man, it means he’s gay!

The B in LGBTQ+ stands for BenDaLaCreme

Bisexuality is just a stepping stone to homosexuality (and most of the time, we’re only applying this logic to bi boys!)

How can you like both????

The B in LGBT stands for Bees

Yes, we’ve seen this person date multiple genders and explicitly say they’re into multiple genders but we’re going to ignore that because its clear they’re victims of heteronormativity

The bisexual community has said several times that bi means two or more and that it’s inclusive to transfolk and non-binary folk but we’re going to blatantly ignore that and continue to further the lie that bisexuality is transphobic while pansexuality is not. 

The B in LGBTQ+ stands for bad drivers

AND A SPECIAL TRACK CALLED

This character is canonically bisexual and i think that’s homophobic with special guest stars: the valencia perez fandom, the valkyrie fandom, brittany s. pierce fandom and many more!!!!!!!!!

[silverselfshippingchaos]

I've been playing s.aints r.ow (2022) so much as of late!

(n.eenah looks so cool...)

CHECK OUT THE GANG ‼️‼️‼️ THEY'RE ALL MY BESTIES‼️‼️I wanna make an s/i just so she can be stupid with them!

This is my player character!

Her looks are obviously inspired by mine, with the skin color and the red glasses (wouldn't be me without my red glasses haha!), but we have some different features. There's also a red jacket because I wear my favorite red jacket a lot and that's the signature color of many of my s/is!

My player character is so fun and cool and I love her so much!

The friends are so goofy and funny!

[mamaspidershit]

idk i just find the idea of hydra!mj so comforting for some reason? like, you don’t understand people? same

[mirabellemoira]

Do you like Rhaenyra/Laena or Laena/Daemon/Rhaenyra? No big deal, just curious 😘

Gosh you just reminded me how in my drafts I have a dance variation where it’s Daemon/Laena/Rhaenyra vs the greens vs the Faith. Not sure if I’ll ever write it though cause that sounds like 100k words of work and I’ve got enough wips on the list to worry about 😂

Pretty much all of my ships for ASOIAF/HOTD are f/m since I’m selfish and want them to have a baby together 😂 and also if I’m writing in universe I don’t want to have to deal with westerosi culture/faith of the seven around gay people

[thewingedwolf]

genuinely annoying when you reply to someone you would consider a friend and they immediately start a “WELL IM LITERALLY X” or “STAY IN YOUR LANE” defense when we are talking about fictional characters that don’t exist with a culture of screenwriters that love to word of god important character information, not only is there no “lane” to stay in, but are we not all online in fandoms to engage with each other and get in the weeds about stuff? are we not allowed to say ‘this wording is confusing/slightly problematic/i simply disagree with this take’ to people we follow and engage with regularly? especially when we’re talking about something That We Both Are.

I early voted in a red state, at a church, and there was a sheriff's deputy in the parking lot. I did not wear my 'I voted' sticker because I'm AFAB and look like I vote to the left. The people I was standing with proudly wore their, 'I'm voting for the convicted felon' shirts and hats. Let me reiterate, there was a cop. At the church. That was the polls.

Re: The church, this is not unusual in small towns in the rural south. They're the only places big enough with something indoor like a basketball court (yes, it's where I voted) that isn't the local school. My town has 12k people in it.

2 days til the election huh
