Wanda Sykes came out almost impulsively, in defense of her recent marriage, during a Prop 8 protest. Afterwards, she said:
"It was funny though, being an African-American celebrity who’s out, it was like they started treating me like a unicorn. We’ve never seen one of you before! It’s like me and RuPaul. I guess that’s it.” -Wanda Sykes, 2008
14 years later, I'm just floored by how different our climate is; so many more women and enbys of color feel safe enough to be open about their sexuality and gender.
need tumblrinas to understand ‘rainbow capitalism’ doesn’t mean corporations just want our money and that’s why it’s bad. it means the stupid rainbow shirt target is selling for $10 was produced by a string of workplace abuses and grossly underpaid labor and by taking the bait for it because Gay Pride UwU you are only giving them profit to do more of that
Idk who this guy is but I’m just gonna leave this here without comment and hope the audience I’m indirecting it at finally understands something for once
Text transcription for easier reading:
Usually I wouldn't address stuff like this but I feel like it as a conversation is bigger than me. I'm not gay; but I think the culture of trying to "find" some kind of hidden trait or behavior that a closeted person "let slip" is very dangerous. Overanalyzing someone's behavior in an attempt to "catch" them directly contributes to the anxiety a lot of queer and queer questioning people feel when they fear living in their truth. It makes the most pedestrian of conversations and interactions in spaces feel less safe for our gay brothers and sisters and those may be questioning. It also reinforces an archetype many straight men have to live under that is often times unrealistic, less free, and limits individual expression.
I've been very clear about the intentionality I try to put into using my platform to push back against those archetypes every chance that I get. Being straight doesn't look one way. Being gay doesn't look one way. And what may seem like harmless fun and conversation may actually be sending a dangerous message to those struggling with real issues. I refuse to inadvertently contribute to that message. Happy Pride to all of my queer and questioning brothers, sisters, and individuals. I pray that you feel seen in ways that make you feel safe in the celebration that is this month. As an ally I continue to be committed to assisting in that where I can and helping to cultivate a future where we are all accepted and given permission to be ourselves.

ppl don’t binge eat bc ~processed food tastes too good~ or whatever paranoid reasoning diet culture has taught us, they binge bc they have a history of deprivation and restriction, often self-imposed.
if you think you’re not allowed to eat this or that food, you’re going to binge
if you think your “good” diet/lifestyle/behavior will start tomorrow, you’re going to binge (aka last supper eating)
if you have a history of food insecurity, you’re going to binge when food is available
if you have a history of dieting or being put on diets, you’re going to binge to be sure your net energy needs are met
if you have an eating disorder, you’re going to binge… and if you don’t, you’re more likely to die of the illness
the body drives hunger for very good reason, and it takes a long, stable period of eating sufficiently to get its hyperphagic (extreme hunger/eating) mechanisms to stand down. more deprivation means more out-of-control eating; more response to hunger means more regulated eating patterns. it really is that simple.
