So often we get caught up in social media, where others are so so mean and unkind, and that includes those of us who self ship.

If you're a bipoc selfshipper, I see you, and you're good enough.

If you're a trans, queer, lgbtq+ selfshipper, I see you, and you're good enough.

If you're a plus sized selfshipper, I see you, and you're good enough.

If you're a disabled selfshipper, I see you, and you're good enough.

If you're a mentally ill selfshipper, I see you, and you're good enough.

If you're an insecure or shame-ridden selfshipper, I see you, and you're good enough.

Please, never ever stop being you, especially not for the sake of others' cruelness and bigotry. You exist, you are beautiful, and that is not wrong. It is never wrong. And your f/o loves you, just as you are. I promise.

in the face of capitalism and corporatism, love for your neighbor is the greatest threat to evil. 🐞

i'm not sure what 2025 holds for us, but our crumbling system in the west inspires me to hold tighter to my community and lead with love.

🏳️‍⚧️⚖️ A judge granted a victory for the trans community against an anti-trans passport policy! The ruling came after the plaintiffs filed a lawsuit with the ACLU, suing the Trump administration for the executive order barring trans people from changing the gender markers on their passports.

Hey guys

If you're looking for a fun, beautiful, SAFE place to visit this year, please consider Maine.

Maine is losing a ton of its vacation revenue from Canada this summer due to...well, everything. If you're wondering what it does with your money (as of June 2025), keep reading:

(FYI she supports it but doesn't need to sign because of overwhelming support)

more (including trans rights) below the cut:

Oh and most importantly:

That's Maine for you. We're just quietly over here in the corner protecting Trans rights, securing safe access to abortions and picking out a turtle. Maine is a poor state, and your money helps us go farther and do more to support our most vulnerable populations.

Plus, you know....this:

if you're interested in visiting Maine but don't know where to start, please message me! I'm a queer transmasc butch and I love to rant about my favorite place in the world. You are welcome here.

How does it feel to be loved by them at all times, in every timeline, every universe, during every moment?

you know what? like, no, actually, i don't want to see endless reblogs of gifs of people punching nazis with trite comments underneath like "likes charge reblogs cast" or "here's some positive cleansing energy for your blog". actually i want to know what concrete steps you're going to take to support the vulnerable people in your life, because personally, just a hot take here, but i actually believe that it's more important to care for people and act out of love and compassion than it is to act out of hatred and idolize violence. not that anyone would care about this. i swear it's all just some fantasy where people are so excited they finally get to be violent because they actually only care about getting to be the oppressors and have their turn as the boot on someone's neck.

they've been doing this to jews for over a year now, after all.

I really love how the reveal about the origins of the gods in Pillars intertwines the games two major themes so perfectly. The game is obviously very concerned with religion and the role it plays in people's lives. It can provide the devout with a sense of purpose, a moral compass, rules to live by, and comfort... With the knowledge that the gods are manmade, Pillars is stating that morality and purpose (and religion) are also manmade. These things come from humanity, even the metaphysical and spiritual is something we create and perpetuate. But the gods aren't just manmade, they are the final and most lasting legacy of the Engwithans, created with their souls. Literally a tangible manifestation of the past controlling and haunting the present. the gods aren't "real" in that their history is fake. They covet the past and mythologize it.

Since Pride Month is ending I wanted to make some things clear:

Intersex people belong in the queer community. Stop with the exclusionism and listen to what they have to say

"Queer" is not a slur. Queer is vague, queer is weird, queer is good, queer is History

"Drop the T" drop your bullshit. Trans people have been here since the beggining, and we always will.

The "A" stands for aspec

"Aspec" is not shorthand for aroace. We are a big community full of nuance, and aplatonics, atertiaries, anaesthetics, afamilials, etc. are included in that

Labels aren't set in stone. Everybody knows their experience best, and you just gotta believe them or leave them be. Even if they have controverse labels, like "lesboy" or "bi lesbian"

Queer disabled/mentally ill people belong at pride. Yea, even people with the "scary" disorders, imunocompromised people, and everyone else

Black people & non-white people can also be queer. We are important, have different experiences and our voices should also be heard

Gendernonconformity looks different for every culture and every person

"DSD" is a bad term. "Hermaphrodite" is a slur

"AFAB" and "AMAB" probably doesn't mean what you mean. If you mean "people with vulvas" or "people with masculine sex characteristics" say it

Just because Pride ended, it doesn't mean advocacy did too. Allyship is all year round

Gay people in Thailand can get married now

We're here, we're queer, get used to it

Happy Pride Month!

Despite the purpose and overall vibe of my blog being heavily built on romance. I don't care about other boys in a romantic way - I actually just care about other boys in general.

I have this quick instinct whenever I have the opportunity to give a boy a safe space to be open and vulnerable, I immediately offer it to him. If I see a boy is feeling sad I have this reflex that instantly guides me to go comfort him. Even if it's just a platonic friend or an acquaintance. I feel so protective over other boys, I want to give them support and encouragement. I want to see them happy, motivated and filled with life.

I walk past so many boys in black hoodies who look depressed and miserable. I wish it was more socially acceptable to just go up to them and ask them if they want a hug. Even if they're not actually upset the reaction they give when you do something gentle for them or treat them with care is absolutely heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

Your pain is my pain brother and I can feel it. Us guys need to look out for each other right? Solidarity anyone? You know what I'm talkin bout!

[bougiebutchbinch]

anyway, quick update outside of the latest queer 'if we exclude THIS group, maybe now the cishets will pick us!!!' disk horse

life is still going good and I am very close to making a big positive change! it does mean all my energy has been on that rather than fandom stuff, but keep them fingers crossed for me! love to you all!

[i-suggest-aro]

did you guys know that you can actually support aroallo people WITHOUT talking about asexuality and asexuals. did you guys know that you can actually do that. you can actually stand in solidarity with us without saying "and also asexuals"

[solomorne]

there’s so many people on this website who would harass the fuck out of me if they learnt my complex, mismatched, confusing as hell history and present with identity and labels lmao
