Happy last day of Pride to all the disabled queers who didn't get to go anywhere or do anything because abled queers don't fucking care about us and won't implement even the most basic of accessibility measures. I think we disabled queers are entitled to lead Wrath Month this year.
I've got several issues with the proposed Tumblr blackout, but chief among them is the fact that it lands on the first day of Disabled Pride Month and the fact that there are people calling for it to become indefinite when disabled folks already have limited access to their communities, and many of us are losing what little reliable access we have because of places like Reddit going dark.
Like... idk. Maybe I'm being uncharitable. But the prioritization of ensuring Pride is minimally interfered with while the first day of Disability Pride is just taken away is rubbing me the wrong way.
And just to be clear. I don't think anyone is doing it intentionally. But I also think that's the problem. No one thinks about disabled people except other disabled people. I wish they would.
you seem to dislike spoons ?
Absolutely spoons are the worst.
Girls…are like strawberries
Sometimes they are in the grocery store

Explain this
People think it’s like grades, sleep, or social life. But it’s really like Victorian hippo dance. I think the post is pretty clear about that.
Lol I had no social life, shit grades, insomnia, AND the hippo wouldn’t even take my hand.
That’s why I chose tumblr and tumblr alone.
the hippos didn’t want to dance with me they just wanted to throw a disco party underneath the cabin

REBLOG THIS POST IF YOU FEEL SAFER WHEN QUEER SPACES ARE OPENLY ACCEPTING OF AMAB NONBINARY PEOPLE
Was gonna put this in the tags but it ended up being super long, so:
I was literally thinking about this earlier today. People act as if you can only be truly nonbinary if you're afab and it's so fucking stupid. For many reasons. But the whole point of being nonbinary is not adhering to the rules of binary gender and structured gender rules.
People reinvent binaries within nonbinary communities ALL THE TIME. I'm talking about labels like "fem aligned nb" and "masc aligned nb" and "non-man" and "man" and bringing up people's agab when it's not relevant.
What got me thinking about it today was that I saw someone in a feminist group say that they're only accepting of nonbinary people in their spaces as long as they're "fem-aligned" and I can only assume what that means because they did not elaborate. And to me it unfortunately sounds vaguely terf-ish.
So. First of all. Who decides whether a nonbinary person is "fem-aligned" or not? Is it the nonbinary person themselves? It doesn't sound like it. It sounds a lot like you're gonna examine this hypothetical nonbinary person in question and decide for yourself if they're feminine enough, which brings me to my next question:
What traits are considered feminine in nonbinary people? (BTW this is a trick question and I'm gonna answer it for you)
The only people who should define whether a nonbinary person is feminine, neutral, or masculine is the nonbinary person themself.
For example: I'm nonbinary and I consider my gender to be very complicated but ultimately perfectly neutral. However! If an outsider were to determine whether my traits were fem masc or neutral, they'd probably label me in ways that I don't agree with. You can definitely tell my agab from the way I look and the way my voice sounds but it doesn't matter. I have a neutral body and face and voice because I said so.
It's not fair that that so many cis people don't see all traits as gender neutral. And I'm not just talking about biological sex characteristics, either. I'm also talking about style, personality, lifestyle choices, hobbies, and etc.
But I won't deny the way that the gender binary has affected the way the majority of people perceive gender. So I'm not saying you need to stop calling things feminine or masculine. You can call things traditionally feminine or traditionally masculine.
For example. Sewing and weaving and other textile crafts are traditionally feminine hobbies, however, they are not inherently feminine. Masculine and neutral people can enjoy things like sewing, too.
And vice versa is true about traditionally masculine hobbies, like axe-throwing or woodworking.
See we can acknowledge the way that the gender binary has affected society without reinforcing it.
Anyway the point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't label nonbinary people with terms like feminine or neutral or masculine if they didn't ask you to. Everyone is the expert on their own identity and you can't accurately assume how much one might be affected by the patriarchy by just looking at them or making small talk with them.
Amab nonbinary people are cool as hell no matter how they define or present their gender, and they belong in our queer spaces. Peace ✌️❤️

I’m sure this will hit the news soon but just in case it’s not out yet — the Governor of Maryland just signed an executive order tonight declaring Maryland a sanctuary state for trans people seeking gender-affirming care, and for all people who provide such care or help trans people access such care. This executive order includes an explicit refusal to cooperate with law enforcement/prosecutors in any other state where accessing, providing, or helping people access such care is now or will soon be criminalized.
Yes it is absolutely a privilege to be able to travel or to think about moving but if someone can access the resources to move or visit to get what they need to survive and be less likely to be actively targeted for LITERAL EUGENICS AND GENOCIDE, then they should and we should support them.
Please spread the word.
Minnesota is also a sanctuary state, welcome trans people!
White people love colorblindness because it allows them to pretend their place in the racial ladder was justly earned and not gotten through theft, rape, slavery, murder, lynching, & violent oppression of black and brown people.
The only thing they might love more is misquoting Martin Luther King Jnr.
I wish more people used Magic the Gathering's Color Pie instead of D&D's alignment all of the time.
Like, saying a character embodies the selfishness and impulsivenes of Red Black offers more depth than Chaotic Evil
It’s substantially deeper.
Good enough for me
The Colors of Magic
[as it applies to Character types]
I hate Good vs Evil as a Character alignment choice. Hate hate HATE hate. I’m sorry, but Good and Evil can be measured along many axes, and fucking nobody wakes up in the morning and goes “golly I sure do love being Evil! Gonna go make the world worse on purpose because I’m just so awful!”
Get the fuck outta here with that Protestant-ass characterization. I got something better for you:
[Watsonian; the colors of magic are drawn from different landforms, such as islands or mountains, and are characteristics of a type of magical currency called Mana which serves as the mechanical resource used to cast spells.]
[Doylist: each color has its own philosophies and opinions and perspectives about the world that influence Design beyond simple aesthetics]
Hence:
Each Color has its own axioms about Good/Evil!
White: Without Rules, without Order, without Law, there is only Chaos, and Good cannot exist amongst Chaos. We must all do our part.
{I’m gonna use pink for White because it’s the most “power of heart” color}
Blue: Ignorance inevitably results in Evil; Good can only be accomplished with Knowledge. Even distasteful or horrifying Knowledge has Utility.
Black: People will label anything that they Like as “Good” and whatever they dislike as “Evil.” Whoever has the most Power gets to dictate what that means in practice.
Red: Ya wanna know what’s Evil? A single man ordering around thousands of others! “Evil Empire” is redundant, all Empires are “Evil.”
Green: The nature of Evil is to Take more than is Needed, to Exploit, and to Exclude. If one wishes to be Good, one should endeavor to be Respectful, Generous, and Harmonious.

As you can see, this gives us substantially more dimensionality for characterization.
So let’s flesh this out
Your standard high fantasy village is in grave peril. The village elders confer, and a champion is chosen to go forth to save the village.
Why is the village in peril?
Red: A despotic Tyrant has been building an Empire, conquering kingdom after kingdom and bringing them to their knees. Even if you surrender, your culture and way of life will be destroyed.
Green: This village has long been a haven for Outcasts, Misfits, Freaks, and Weirdos. It’s tucked away, not very rich, but rich in Love and Family and very nice hand crafts. Unfortunately, it sits on top of a large copper vein that the Imperial Treasury wants to exploit, and you all are very much in the way.
White: Your village has long suffered raids from bandits, barbarians, and outlaws, and the strain of recovering each time is becoming too great; something must be done.
Blue: The land suffers under the iron-fisted rule of a despotic tyrant. Your village has discovered the secret to his awful power and how to destroy him. Unfortunately, he knows that you know.
Black: Truth be told, your village isn’t actually “in peril” (at least, not any more than usual). Nobody sent you. You were not chosen. But there is Evil afoot, and you are offended by this Evil, and you will see to it personally that it ends.

One important thing that you should do as a queer person is to find another queer person whose brain works just like yours (romantically or not) and then adopt a cat together and then finally steal that fucking Pikachu and make it big
