“Ruth the Butch” by Karen Williams, published in Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go (2002) ed. Michelle Gibson & Deborah Meem

image description: A screenshot of an image from a book. At the top is a black and white photograph of a Black femme smiling at the camera. she has short curls and is wearing wire-framed glasses, long tassel earrings, and a blouse or dress with spaghetti straps. the photo is captioned with her name, Karen Williams, in white. the rest of the image is black text on a gray background:

I have to have roles ‘cause when I get to a closed door I want to know who’s going to open it. I am standing there waiting for a butch to come along. And all those androgynous people and codependent people line up right behind me. Actually, we are really waiting for the UPS or Federal Express truck to come because we know that’s where all the butches work. I used to be a secretary and I had my favorite butch from UPS: Ruth the Butch. I was putting in requests. I was wrapping up huge packages with nothing in them but paper clips.

“Can Ruth come by today? I got 49 boxes just for her.” And, sure enough, she’d come over there and I’d say, “Ruth, please pick up that box,” and she’d pick it up with the two paper clips and say, “Oh, this is so light!” And I’d say, “That’s because you’re so strong!”

without deep-diving into all the Things bc frankly i don’t think it matters and i’m on the verge of an emotional breakdown as it is… little bit increasingly overwhelmed by moolah happenings rn, so. offering free digital copies of my romcom books (full descriptions under the cut) to anyone who can donate smthn, just shoot me a DM!

(i am very aware that there are lots of other happenings around the world at present more deserving of donations. i’m just kinda outta carrots here, and here we are.)

ᴡʜᴀᴛ’ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴠɪʙᴇ? : an adult store comedy/romance

What’s love at first sight without a little crisis of sexual identity?

Milo Lamoree is livin’ the glamorous life of a sex shop sales rep, forever explaining to grown adults what they should and should not be sticking inside of themselves and/or others. He’s not doing any sticking himself—his demisexuality hasn’t exactly enticed any “hot young singles in your area.” But considering his clientele’s whackadoo misconceptions about anatomy, etc., it’s not like Milo has the leftover energy to fall in love, anyway.

…Well, too bad.

Stevie Hart has heard it said that being bisexual means you have more options, meanwhile she has experienced that not at all. Her love life is all unsolicited—ahem—pics (you know the ones) and straight couples looking for an experimental third. No thanks. When you’re already managing your own debilitating agoraphobia, who has time to deal with whatever’s going on with those people? Falling in love isn’t worth the mess.

…Until it is.

Along with their meddling mutual friends, Possibly The Worst Ex In The World, and a totally bangin’ soundtrack, Stevie and Milo hit every major identity crisis (sexual, spiritual, existential, you get it) on their way to finding each other—and themselves.

(And if they happen to also find the best title of an adult film while they’re at it? That’s just the rainbow sprinkles on top.)

ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴇᴇɴ ꜱᴇx ᴄᴏᴍᴇᴅʏ : a millennial coming-of-age parody (lite)

Once upon the early 2000s…

Trixie Taylor is asexual—she just doesn’t know that’s an option. So imagine her consternation, when the deadline for the virginity pact she made in eighth grade is now upon her. It’s her last high school party, and the entire graduating class has heard that Trixie’s ready to swipe her V-card tonight.

So. No time to panic.

Ready or not, she’s got someone in mind to help her…

Riot Shane is every bit the loser virgin his friends roast him for being, and way more than his rebel reputation suggests (things would be different if he’d get his GED and a haircut, but oh well). When incurable crush Trixie Taylor asks for his help, Riot finds himself playing fake boyfriend, real bodyguard, and the house party’s errand boy. 

Welp. At least responsibility’s never looked as good as it does with his dream girl in the passenger seat.

Ready or not, the night’s only just begun…

It's almost the end of June, but I wanted to post something special to celebrate my third Pride month as an out bisexual woman since April 2022! 🌈🏳️‍🌈

So, here's the result—10+ specials created by queer comedians (and obviously including SUCH mainstays Jerrod Carmichael and Kate Berlant). Each one is definitely worth your time, and please let me know if I've missed any of your favorites.

Enjoy the new article, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Hi welcomr

My main is @catalystco

This is my side blog dedicated to what happens when there are groups of four women under immense pressure! Answer is homoeroticism ensues. Basically I do genre analyses on this extremely niche queer horror/dark comedy trope. And queer horror in general.

My favourites to post about are heathers (original), mean girls (also original), doki doki literature club, and RWBY

Slight deviations of this weird formula are glee (not very dark, main four are cheerios+Rachel/mostly side characters) and dungeon meshi (men) which I prob post the most about

I have a lot to say. I’m saving my friends using tumblr.

I always welcome recommendations btw ;))

Happy birthday to the amazing Mae Martin! We hope you keep adding many snow globes to your brain shelves and telling us all about it! 😹

Omg Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda is such an incredible comdey special. I live for queer comedy!!

[bloofbloofbloof]

I had a refreshing conversation with someone at a queer meetup and honestly wish more people were like that. I said someone got upset at my jokes despite I'm lgbt and it kinda could be summed up as "There's this constant expectation of positivity and can't handle when someone has a sense of humor that veers from that. It's obvious the joke is made by someone lgbt, why else would they joke about it in the first place?"

Yeah like why infight among people within the community. We're all the same.

When the real ✨art✨ is outside the frame

When you’re doing hand drawn frame-by-frame animation - you don’t need to draw thing that won’t end up in the final frame. But zoom out from the shot posted above, and you end up with beautiful shots like this 😂

10 Reasons I am obsessed with Breakfast with Scot

Grab yourself a T shaped pancake and enjoy!

I find the theme's of the novel by Michael Downing and the screen adaptation to be very compelling. Exploration of found families, stable queer couple navigating parenthood, potentially queer/gender nonconforming kids, coming out, self-acceptance.

I am a big fan of contemporary fiction, real-life situations meets romance/rom-com. I am not really into YA or fantasy, fandom can be heavily skewed in that direction. I also like more mature protagonists beyond the early 20s into adulthood.

Love a totally stable and in love m/m couple with careers and a house in the suburbs. No romantic drama. Just a wholesome queer marriage.

LOVE that the NHL and Toronto Maple Leafs gave permission to use the logos and branding in a queer-themed film.

I love both stories, novel and film. I think that the characters stand up really well in both. Particularly, I think Eric is entirely justified in remaining in the closet professionally and as a public figure. It was 2007! Ellen was recently out. Very few celebrities and next to no sports figures were out in that time period.

Tom Cavanagh and Ben Shenkman are just so fine, this should be self-evident.

I just love the wholesome, feel-good comfort of the film. I know it isn't perfect but for its time, I think it did well and was pretty ground breaking. Queer-themed films were usually tragedies back then.

LOVE that they incorporated hockey!!!

Love the supporting characters and feeling of a sitcom. That found family and found community comes through very strongly.

And most of all, I love that there is so much story to tell. How did Eric end up getting together with Sam if he can't even say the word gay out loud yet is ok talking about their bedsheets on the street for anyone to hear? How do they deal with Scot's trauma about losing his mom? How is Sam a sports attorney yet knows nothing about hockey? Did Scot finish the hockey season? I want to know all about Nula and George Jr's wedding! I want Eric/Sam commitment ceremony. Hell, I'd even enjoy Billy and Mia's wedding lol. I want to see Scot graduate from high school and Ryan Burlington get drafted.

A sample from my latest set, performed at the London LGBTQ community centre! Concerning (mostly) the cartoon physics of the discount pop-up tent.

Note: There is some nsfw humour at the beginning.

been watching clips from the comedy show “kids in the hall” which ran from 1989-1995, and was very into this bit about respectability politics
