Bookish But Corruptible Just a sleepy writer blogging about fandoms, cute animals, and feelings. You'll find a pretty mixed grab-bag here. Please let me know if you'd like me to tag anything. Stats: 26, genderqueer/fluid (they/them), generally queer,...

In 20 years we’re going to find out that “no kink at pride” discourse was a CIA psyop to reintroduce more traditional forms of homophobia (i.e. the defense of the innocence of children, Gays as sexually predative, etc) to millennial and gen z aged influencers.

… Y'all need to get off Tumblr.

I go weeks or months without posting sir. This is offline brain damage.

the us state has a history of injecting poison pill discourses into political movements that threaten its power like this is your brain on actual history.

*discourse calling gay men pedophiles for kink related dressing practices that have been in steep decline at Pride events re-emerges near the same time as QAnon*

the global rise of fascism?  a resurgent right wing in america? the roaring presence of reactionary thought in erstwhile progressive spaces? a connection would be inconceivable… internet brain rot, go outside!

Have you considered not being an idiot and researching things?

It’s not my fault that you can’t recognize a white nationalist homophobic propaganda campaign that’s discussed out in the open and there’s documented evidence for.

Like, cannot make this clearer, this is not online brain rot, this is library brain rot.

Read a book, touch paper, consult a 20 yr old newspaper page or fifty

Hell, even talk to your queer community elders. They’ll tell you this is a reoccurring thing that happens enough that it’s why so many older people can see the red flags first and warn younger folks of this stuff. I saw similar shit in the late 90s, all through out the 00s, and it was really bad flares ups of it throughout the 10s for obvious reasons. And my older queer friends even mention seeing these same strategies happening in the 80s and back.

So yes, read a book, touch paper, AND talk to your queer elders. Learn this shit to know how to stomp out like we’ve had to each time it’s tried coming back. Bait is planted all the time in a effort to ruin us, don’t take it and consider it when we tell you it is.

every year after you turn 17 you get further away from being the age of the dancing queen and that’s my least favorite thing about growing up

exCUSE ME.  DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF A WOMAN WHO’S CONCERNED ABOUT BEING TOO OLD TO BE THE DANCING QUEEN??

Fuck your age, put on your high heeled boots and a pair of overalls and do Meryl Streep proud.

You are the dancing queen.

Hot take: Seventeen is the age at which you get crowned the Dancing Queen.

Being older than that isn’t years away from being the Dancing Queen, it’s how many years your reign has lasted.

I… I must inform. This man’s name is “Fashionable Orc”.

So myself and two best friends got matching tattoos that say Κύριε ἐλέησον. It’s pronounced Kyrie Eleison and in ancient Greek means “Lord have mercy.” It’s one of the oldest Christian liturgical prayers and features in the Bible, and when Christianity became Latinised, it as one of the only surviving Greek prayers.

Just for fun I plugged it into Google Translate to see what modern Greek thinks of it and

10/10 A+ tat so glad its marked on my skin forever, would tattoo again

I think a big part of the reason I love cryptids is that they’re literally the only subgenre of conspiracy theories where you can be reasonably assured it isn’t secretly about hating Jews. Like, when people talk about aliens or lizard people or sinister banking cabals, at least 80% of the time when you look up the foundational literature it’s a bunch of Antisemitic rot and “lizard people” is just a codephrase for “Jews”, but there are very few neo-Fascist whackjobs out there claiming that Bigfoot is Jewish.

A few years ago a roommate abruptly decided to move out to live with her boyfriend, and I ended up spending half a year sharing an apartment with someone I had never met before: an Egyptian girl with very limited English.

She was confused by my appearance and asked me “boy or girl?” It took me a while to understand what she was saying, but eventually she got the point across, and I told her that I was a girl. She seemed unsatisfied, and I explained that I was transgender. Unsurprisingly, she didn’t know the word.

We ended communicating by typing our respective sentences into Google Translate. Unfortunately, whatever the Arabic word for “transgender” is, it wasn’t a word she knew either. Eventually I ended up typing in “I used to be a boy but it made me unhappy so I decided to be a girl.” She stared at it for a moment then asked “You are happy now?” I said yes, and she smiled and looked thoughtful.

A couple hours later she came up to me and said “You and me, we are sisters,” and gave me a hug. “You say you are girl, you are girl.”

Can I share this in non-tumblr spaces?

Each story like this warms my heart a little more
