My thoughts on jewish politics are nuanced and convoluted in many ways, but if somebody comes at me with the idea of categorizing my thoughts as being in line with the "good jews" or the "bad jews," you've just got to assume I'm not One Of The Good Ones.

Sometimes I think of Amy Pond, who grew up being called mad by those who wielded the word as a tool of exclusion and shame —

Amy Pond, who though forced into the hands of four psychiatrists, still clung to that which they called madness until those systems which elevate psychosocial conformity above humanity stripped it from her —

Amy Pond, whose imaginary friend reappeared for a single hour after twelve years and reignited that faith before disappearing for two more years —

Amy Pond, who spent those those two years under the same implicit threat ingrained in her through psychiatric violence, and thus began to believe the man who stopped the invasion was “just a madman with a box,” only for him to agree, and to also call her “mad, impossible Amy Pond,” reframing madness as non-negative for the first time in her life —

Amy Pond, who ignored the disembodied voice of her imaginary friend even as she ran away with him for real, who still lived each day with the traumatic internalization of deviancy dictated upon her by the psychiatric-industrial complex that shaped her from childhood —

Amy Pond, who wouldn't acknowledge the Doctor's voice, such that it took an Angel in her eye that was literally killing her to ensure she couldn't reality check herself —

Amy Pond, who stood before a room which muttered about “the psychiatrists we brought her to,” and though afraid, escaped their rigid parameters of acceptable existence.

crabussy is too iconic but the urge to have fag in my username so that terfs stay the fuck away from my silly whimsical posts grows stronger with every passing day

[misc-catgirl-anatomy]

ao3's tagging system has me so spoiled bc i go basically anywhere else (like tunglr) and it's like you can execute a burnt-dogshit-quality search along a single term

so i'm sitting over here dying from lack of good f/f omegaverse stuff because nobody tags shit consistently and i can only search via tag and the ''omegaverse'' tag is mostly m/m by volume which is fine there's a market for that but it's not what i wanna read

i'd be interested to read more original (ie non-fanfic) f/f AOB but it's hard to find so.... i don't.

[jacksprostate]

this will be unpopular probably but idk i've been called slurs a time or two and it's personally uncomfortable to see... obviously do as you please in general but when interacting with me or my posts i'd really prefer if yall didn't casually use fag, etc in place of gay and stuff 👍

here's a disco elysium doodle dump i did over time as i played the game, i just finished the game three hours ago and realized i didn't post shit at ALL

more under the cut

"Heya, just popping in for your medicine delivery- ah, you're wondering why I'm not wearing my usual disguise? Well, Eirin and I kinda agreed that it was making me look more suspicious than usual...and while some of the village don't want to take medicine from a youkai, our medicines aren't anything to hide from." "You shouldn't feel ashamed about taking what you need in order to function, and we shouldn't add to that stigma. It'd be ridiculous if I had to dress up like a bandit to give you bandages if you hurt yourself, right?"

"...I know that 'the lunatic rabbit' probably isn't the best to advertise this, but you deserve to be loved, cared for, survive and thrive- no matter what illness or neurodivergency you have. Change and acceptance isn't easy, especially deprogramming from...harmful stereotypes and ideology- believe me, I've been through all that craziness." "It's probably taken you a really long journey to find this out, or accept this, or take steps to treatment- maybe you're still ironing out the big questions- but I'm really proud of you for it. So keep taking those steps, to become more 'you' than ever. Advocate for yourself, and know that there's people that can help you through- even if it takes a while to find them." "That's all from me today, make sure you take some food with them too, alright?"

i used to have a really Really bad flinch/panic response to the words dyke and fag because of growing up in a deeply homophobic household in backwoods rural new hampshire but now my social circle is so queer and full of general faggotry and dykery that i honestly forget they're slurs. which is the whole point of reclaiming things i guess. the same principle as naming your pet after someone who hurt you so the name stops being associated with the bad thing. it's legitimately hard to remember how sick and anxious i used to get overhearing either term. dyke is a comfort word for protective butches and bitches n fag is a brother to me.

[something-about-sunflowers]

Izzy is an Old Queer who regularly calls himself a tranny and a fag and sometimes even a dyke if he's feeling spicy.

Stede is a Baby Gay who only learned about the lgbtqia2s+ community very recently through the internet. Uses micro-labels out the wazoo, like, super niche shit too (nothing wrong with that so long as you're not giving other people trouble about it ofc).

They clash. A lot. First time Izzy calls someone queer (who IS queer) Stede has an apoplexy and starts screeching about slurs.

(Ed is just Ed. He goes with the flow as long as it's not coming out of hate, you can call him whatever. When he's bored he'll pick a side and antagonize tho.)

[rotationalsymmetry]

gotta love it when someone responds to the idea that terms indicating lower intelligence are ableist by insulting the intelligence of the person saying that. It's ideologically consistent I guess?

[musyke]

I just saw someone saying that slur reclamation is making people not realize when they're being homophobic to their faces and, first of all how about we go outside and touch some grass and second of all, people don't need slurs to be homophobic lol if you start calling people horrible for saying certain words, many of them will very likely stop saying them and guess what, they won't stop being homophobic 😁 You're gonna need a good set of reading skills and critical thinking to tell who's being homophobic this day, is not enough to know that faggot is a big bad word anymore, and it frankly never was.

[pand0monium]

queer isn't *just* a slur. she's like a brother to me

[biracy]

I know it's hot shit coming from a guy who doesn't tag reclaimed slurs anymore but it's super super fuckin weird to say shit like "and don't even THINK about tagging my post with f slur you stupid baby gays!! Go outside!!!!" like well I've been outside and have gotten called a fag before and it kind of sucks believe it or not it's kind of a big thing for me that I'm able to be okay w saying it now. Very self-centered to think that ur post is so important that no one else is allowed to tag it in a way that would protect people they know. It's a trigger tag and I don't really think you get to police what people are and aren't triggered by. You don't have to tag it but don't get upset when other people do. You don't know their situation

[just-jammin]

I like the Owl House... kind of. I started watching it on tumblr's recommendation of it's got LGBTQIA+ stuff in it, but I haven't watched it all the way through yet, and I haven't even got to the point where Amity and Luz really start dating.

What I've gotten out of it so far: entertainment, particularly laughs. Also, hope. When I was a kid, cartoons just didn't acknowledge that LGBTQIA+ people exist, now kids can see two girls hold hands and acknowledge that they like each other that way. That's important. Even if Disney kills and buries it, the door has been kicked open, and the next show can carry that torch forward. Maybe someday, the next generation of kids can realize that it's okay to be LGBTQIA+ because they see it in their media as much as they see straight cisgender people.

Don't quote this part: I used the LGBTQIA+ term throughout, but what I was thinking in my head as I typed that was queer. It's quicker to say being a monosyllable. I also have to stop and ask myself did I get all the letters? am I leaving anyone out? Queer is supposed to be our word for all of us -mlm, wlw, trans, nb, ace, aro -whatever. All of us. But I don't know your audience.
