#queer poc in need

Good Morning Friends ☀️

I've had a rough go of it the last few weeks. All previous donations have been blessings from angels like you, helping my family stay at our motel in South Jersey.

I was hospitalized recently and unable to work or raise money to support my mom and sister.

It feels very humbling, and even a bit sad, to be asking for more shares, donations and prayers.

But we have nowhere else to turn until one of the many jobs I've applied to follows up with me.

Just like before, even reading our story is helpful.

A $1 donation, a like or share, and a prayer to whatever higher being you subscribe to would mean the entire world to us.

Much love for all the people who have donated and shared; you are all the reason one family could survive this long.

At this point, gender nonconformity is about what the person says their experience is.

If a woman with a beard or a man with lipstick and a mustache says they're gender nonconforming, then they are! If a woman with short hair or a man with long hair says they aren't, they aren't! And that's not even getting into the awesome nonbinary, abinary, genderqueer, intersex, and general genderfuckery that may both be and not be conforming.

So much of what is even considered gender conforming or gender nonconforming is based on a world of exclusion. When we start defining one's conformity with whether they fit into white cishetero perisex standards or not, we play into the idea that there's only a very narrow window of what is considered worthy of time and thought.

giving frenchie a hot boyfriend and pissing off moronic homophobic conservative viewers is not enough!! to make me forget that kripke has The Weirdest™ understanding of sibling dynamics and that frenchie/kimiko should be together. romantically. platonically. sexually. psychotically. all of the above.

I hate to say this, but I think so many of the problems with Stranger Things (not all but a lot) could have been avoided if they had a smaller cast. It grew so much each season to the point where important characters and their storylines were getting neglected just because they have so much to focus on that it just didn't fit

[devils-bite]

finally decided to get my affairs in order and make a comm sheet. any and all support is always Greatly appreciated. so much love to you guys 🎏

shares/reblogs/comments/likes all help in giving me the chance to make something better for myself🫶🏼

“Fandom isn’t fun anymore fandom isn’t fun anymore” tbh it just feels like white racist “normies” jumped in as opposed to white racist nerds and for me personally u can feeeel it kinda but it doesn’t change much

What scares me most about Byler endgame is the reality of it likely coming out long after the US presidential election 2024.

catch me laughing in the club awkwardly because this season has a 19 year old blonde female companion from London, a space travelling left of law brunette queer boy who flirts heavily with the doctor, absolutely zero writers of colour and no mention of sensitivity readers…….and next season the new companion is a woman of colour. uh oh!

Free drawing lessons! (18+ discord server)

Hello! This server is for those who are looking for creative community, whether you are already an artist or someone who is looking to learn a new skill.

I'm here to tell you that if you can write the alphabet, you can learn to draw! So every week, I'll be offering a budget/beginner friendly art lessons to anyone who would like to sit in, follow along, or to engage (to individual comfort levels).

All you'll need is a pencil and some paper!

Though all are welcome, this will be a predominantly queer and POC centered space

this is your regularly scheduled fuck you to every youtube commentary guy who shits on nsfw artists without even knowing how making shows or comics or games even works to judge the artists able to work on this sort of project and thus making us look worse for literally no reason other than “ewewew gooning ewwwww”

with a nice reminder that nsfw art takes a lot of fucking knowledge to pull off right especially in certain niches and subjects and that it should be respected like any other artistic subject, it’s just as respectable as the dichotomy between styles and subjects for anything. Sex and erotica is an interaction as much as any fight in whatever fucking thing is popular or any discussion in a romcom or thriller. It’s not because it’s tied to sex that it’s worth less in any way. And it’s certainly not because it’s gay sex or trans sex that’s it’s worth even less. Making jokes about nsfw only being made for a quick buck just completely nullifies any possible love or care someone could see in erotica or porn just because you associate it with an industry that while related also suffers from a huge stigma from all fronts and a lot of abuse on its creators’ side in the end doesn’t involve the same skills at all, aside from knowledge on the multiple kinks one may have.

Also! Reminder that, whether we want it or not, pride and kink are heavily tied, in general, and that shunning one shuns the other by proxy, given how the lgbt community’s roots are so tied to sexuality and sex work. There’s a reason why there’s a pink bar at the top of the first pride flags. And there’s a reason why it symbolises sex. These guys are punching down knowing people will either nod or directly follow them while holding as a defense signs pleading to “think of the children!!”. My sweet relative, the children should be monitored by their guardians and parents, don’t bother us into this. None of us wants kids here due to the danger they bring to both themselves and us as porn artists. It has never been any queer person’s intention to “endoctrinate kids” just as much as it is has never been any porn artist’s intention to do the same or to cause porn addictions. Monitor your kids, and know those who you’ll use as examples (groomers as some may call) will be exceptions over any general person. If you really wanted to fight this sort of abuse, go to a Christian church instead.

People shitting on anything sex in general is dangerous, since it validates so many feelings that sexuality is wrong and gross, even if all it is is just something like an artistic nude or something as horrible as abusive relationships or cases of assault. honestly the second the big head guys at the top will attack us it WILL be both towards straight on straight for straight pornography AND on any relatively kinky thing or mildly queer suggestion of sexuality, or straight up anyone who isn’t cishet. It’s not about “but i didn’t want this to happen!!! I value you still i never wanted you to hurt!” It’s about understanding how things are always tied to one another in some ways that cannot be cut unless we also choose to forget our past and thus make everything worse and prone to be repeated again, and everyone will suffer, aside from the ones at the very top.

The way some groups of fellow marginalized people will genuinely think it’s okay to imagine themselves as The Most Oppressed Ever is awful. Theories and ideas I otherwise thoroughly support will be soured for me by finding out they think their oppression is objectively “worse” than that of other marginalized groups. We can discuss how marginalized groups’ intersectional experiences are different and how they can support one another. We should not be weighing racism vs. misogyny vs. ableism vs. anything else. Looking at “if [x group] were liberated everyone would be” and “[y oppression] is the root of all evils in the world” sentiments which I have seen almost word for word.

Growing up a social chameleon and subscribing to the model minority myth of if you are what they want you to be you will be loved and believing in it wholeheartedly even unto and after death but it's only when you see the same cycle perpetuated in a child that you realize just how fucked up it is. You can't save yourself, but maybe you can save someone else
