One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.

My pronouns are I/me and the rest is for someone else to deal with because I have better things to do.

Very fond of macrolabels, like “queer”, that provide zero extra information. Is it genderqueer? Is it romantic/sexual orientation queer? Is it queer as in “none of your fucking business what’s in my pants and what I do with it and with whom”?

This is actually probably the first time I’ve ever read something that accurately describes my relationship with gender--ie, ‘my gender is me and my pronouns are a you problem’--so thank you for that!

#you cannot gender me in a way that matters

You know every show that the premise is like “people find out ghosts/monsters/demons are real and are charged with stopping them” appeal to me way more now as a post-graduate not because I believe in ghosts more or whatever but because can you IMAGINE just being handed a job that you don’t even need to apply for? Like just being told “basically there’s this bad thing and all you do is make sure it doesn’t do what it wants” that’s just customer service baby and I worked that for 6 goddamn years! Just TRY getting past “I have a job to offer you” before I can jump down your throat agreeing.

some idiot with a dumb ghost-hunting name who joined the Cause because they love the paranormal: oh fuck oh shit this is really scary guys I’m having second thoughts

me, who knows that if we run away I have to apply to like, a real actual Jobbe again: wakey wakey demons it’s this or retail so guess who’s got nothing to lose

Fantastic idea

Article about it here. 

what’s important to note and missing from the “headline” tweet is that they simultaneously constructed additional good public transit to the public transit already in the city (bus rapid transit, train stations). Just removing highway alone isn’t going to make traffic better, the bigger part of the story is that they improved public transportation. And the current mayor wants to do more - cyclist lanes and reinstate a tram system

when i attempted to march before i realized my limited mobility puts me and my comrades in danger... i just remember this girl in a neon pink anime wig who immediately started having a panic attack when the cops started to advance. if that's something you'd do, if your nerves are too bad for you to stay cool in a scary situation, you need to be helping somewhere else entirely. no cosplay, you need sturdy clothes that protect your body and want to blend in.

they definitely plant provocateurs and cops in crowds and try to get people to follow their directions. ive seen people react to images of poorly disguised cops with "umm what if they're neurodivergent like me?" again if thats you, you need to be helping somewhere else. nobody has the means to make being hunted by militarized cops accessible, they kill disabled people all the time and are going to take even less care to not murder you should you be caught in a crowd or out past curfew

This is a good and quick summary @queers4years

This is a good time for a really mean meme I’ve been thinking of

i love that it’s pikachu saying this bc pikachu attained freedom by electrocuting the fuck out of ash and outright refusing to get into the fucking pokeball

Holy shit transphobes are so stupid

Pro-life is a meaningless political statement. It has no purpose other than attacking the body autonomy of women. It's a control fetish.

I am so fucking tired of seeing other people live my dreams

Context: this is the director of the National Butterfly Center that far-right Republicans and Qanon people have been accusing of aiding human trafficking because they refuse to let the government build a border wall on nature preserve grounds. The National Guard came onto her property and someone left their truck running and unlocked and their gun unsecured.

We're not kidding when we say these people are fascists. Stupid fascists, but well armed stupid fascists.

Bring on the four-day work work. We earned it.

Wizards! Stop scrolling!! This is your reminder to:

Please don’t empty your old potions into the sewer system. Urban sprawl has resulted in the draining of witches’ swamps, which previously functioned as detoxifying catch basins for magical runoff.

Without the swamps, potion runoff can now directly enter local waterways. Previously rare occurrences such as articulate raccoons, deer with human hands for antlers, and people being turned into a variety of small vertebrates when consuming game meat are now at an all-time high. Old potions should only be disposed of in Council-maintained magic recycling facilities.

Be astute, don’t pollute!

Viking traveler’s amulet, based on the Lillbjärs picture stone. The back reads: “Unharmed Go Forth, Unharmed Return, Unharmed Back Home”, Frigga’s blessing to Odin, possibly from Vafþrúðnismál.

How does this have almost 10,000 notes ?

Because the world is full of trouble and every little bit of help counts.

stop feeling hopeless, start getting ready

If you are in a red state, your state either has an abortion ban in place or is rated by the Guttmacher Institute as likely to enact a ban. Your focus should be on protecting yourself and others who need abortions.

If you are in a yellow state, you currently have constitutional abortion protections but they are in jeopardy. Get active in local political groups NOW to fight back against constitutional amendments to ban abortion. Your focus should be purely on political action.

If you are in Michigan, you currently have a ban in place which is being challenged, and your governor is working to add abortion protections into the Michigan state constitution. Your focus should be on supporting the work that is currently under way.

If you are in a green state, your state has constitutional protections for abortion that are unlikely to be challenged. Your focus should be on helping others to enter your state for abortion care.

If you are in a purple state, your state currently has no constitutional protections for abortion but is unlikely to implement a ban. You have two focuses: pushing for constitutional protections AND helping others to enter your state for abortion care (see green state list).

Do not join the satanic temple just because of this, they haven’t won the case so there’s no actual protection for you in that and as both islam and judaism don’t consider abortion murder and christian anti choicers don’t give a shit about that either I doubt they will win

This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.

They seem to have accepted Commander Spock as one of their own.
