Si eres un sistema que está aprendiendo español eres valide

si hablas español de toda tu vida y sólo sabes como expresar tu pluralidad a través del inglés eres valide

si estás buscando terminología o sea describirte en tu lengua y no la encuentras eres valide

Si mi uso de la e no te hace sentir incluide eres valide

Si eres un sistema que simplemente no encuentra cómo describirse en inglés eres valide

No importa el discurso que los anglos se inventen de nuestra lengua

No importa el discurso que los nuestros mismos se inventen

Somos valides, en español o en inglés o en taíno o en maya o en guaraní. Somos valides

Yeah I uh- I might have problems.

From first to last, their names are Amber, Ina, and Anne.

There's never just a simple answer it seems like smh

Real. Currently debating myself if I should just ride the bus in a skirt.

illegalism is swag and epic and cool and also good praxis and i should probably finally do a lil blog post write up on why you, yes you, should break the law (it won't just be about illegalism per se but also just my personal political philosophy and how i view the world and especially the law)

Jaywalking teaches drivers how to appreciate life a little more. Also, if they hit me they will never drive again without seeing my face.

If I was the CEO of capitalism I would cut that shit out

Ok, so I’m a 48 y/o cis white guy in a loving hetero partnership who has (uncomfortably) passed as straight for my entire life to this point. I am not straight, though I haven’t figured out a label for myself yet, mostly just going with queer or bi, though neither feel quite right. Maybe labels aren’t necessary, but I feel like I should pick something (important point: my partner is fully aware and supportive of me).

Anyway, this is all preamble to the point of this post. I no longer want to express myself as a generic middle aged white guy. I want to dress more, well, queer. Most men’s clothing is sooooo boring. The problem is I have no idea where to find clothes that will fit me properly that is more, uh, flamboyant I guess than what I currently wear.

I live in Deep South Texas (like, keep driving south another four hours from San Antonio). I feel very limited here and honestly a little fearful of shopping in the “wrong” section of stores (it’s Texas, after all).

I’m slim, just under 6 feet, so not a hard-to-find size for regular men’s clothes anyway. But I no longer want regular men’s clothes. To be clear, I am not feeling gender dysphoric and do identify as male. I just want to be less conformist and more fabulous. I like color!

So, to sum up this rambling post, where can I get fun clothes locally or online that scream out, “I am queer!”?

**EDIT** if this comes across your feed somehow, please reblog it. I have maybe two followers and I really want advice (and a community I can be a part of—struggling a bit here with that).

So, I ordered some shirts from @mayakern and @morningwitchy. They just arrived and I absolutely love them! Thank you @vergess for the suggestion!

Apple by The Narcissist Cookbook is SUCH a Crowley song. It's 1) written from the point of view of devil tempting Eve to eat the apple 2) reads like a rant from a person who's trying to figure out God's plan 3) contains gushing about humanity's future inventions and scientific discoveries 4) raises the question of free will and its consequences. It so fucking works

Just had a dream that a novel exists which is written from the POV of an old man dying in the 1920s in the form of diary entries and bit by bit it's revealed it's actually a closeted trans woman who was out during her youth and forced to recloset and now I desperately want to read it

The narrator was like, referring to a girl called Sarah in all the writings, and at the start it's super unclear who Sarah actually is and it's speculated by the people around that she may be a lover from the narrator's youth, until it's noted that Sarah had heterochromia and that's the defining trait of the narrator

Oh also Sarah did actually have a lover. They were T4T and lived in a little cottage by a lake until he was drowned in it and Sarah couldn't make ends meet anymore and had to recloset

Okay a bunch of people have told me to write the thing now so I've decided if this post gets 30K I'm turning the thing into an epistolary novel.

🥺

trans people who are anti t4t make me so sad. because beyond just not knowing what being t4t means, the fact that they believe that t4t is just being a chaser is indicative of a deeper issue, being that cis people have ingrained the idea that we are unfuckable and unloveable, disgusting by nature, and that anybody who would voice attraction to us, a step further, ONLY CHOOSE TO DATE TRANS PEOPLE, would be a pervert with a disgusting fetish who wont see them as equal.

thats not what t4t is.

t4t is the rejection of the idea that we are inherently disgusting, just because we are in the eyes of a cisnormative society.

t4t is the understanding that we are safer and stronger together as a community than apart.

t4t is seeing your trans boyfriend try on clothes from your old boy wardrobe that you hated growing up but now your least favorite shirt is your favorite because its the perfect shade of red that brings out his eyes.

t4t is teaching your trans girlfriend that has been scared to do her own makeup how youve learned from other trans women, who learned from other trans women, who learned from other trans women.

t4t is doing your testosterone shots together and kissing each others sticks after you put the bandaid on.

t4t is holding the door for your trans girlfriend and showing her the chivalry she didn't get from her dad growing up, but its ok because you can show her now.

t4t is being on the phone with your partner who just came out as trans/nonbinary after seeing you, YOU, live your truth, and them asking you to help them find a new name, the perfect name for them, and you hope theyll carry that part of you forever.

you are trans and that is beautiful. your transness is beautiful. trans love is beautiful. dont let ANYBODY make you feel unworthy of sex or love. THATS what being t4t means.

Can confirm. T4T is tight

I have a fear of religon, specifically Christanity. Like it is overwhelming at times and I sometimes wonder if there is something I can do to heal. I have had panic attacks from street preachers, when my family visits I hide during prayers, and I'm fairly certain if I were to go into a church I would simply evaporate. I named myself after someone who loved Jesus and was asked to betray him with a kiss in the gospel of Judus. I wasn't always like this, I was ok with religon. I would defend it during the edgy atheist era. Now I can't even walk by a church without someone being with me to hold my hand. I want to heal. I want to go back to when God ment love and acceptance. I cried once thinking about all of God's love and now I cry when I know a Christian's hate. Any advice would be appreciated from other queer people. Under no circumstances are people allowed to try and convert me. If anyone mentions there church I will never step foot in it.

"why do we even have that lever" is made funnier by the fact there are only 2 levers to begin with (disguised as a pair of tusks on a statue)

i find the implications hilarious:

  1. kronk only had to remember the location of one lever, and couldn't even manage that
  2. but on the other hand, it's easy to get two identical unlabelled levers confused, this one's on yzma tbh
  3. yzma only needed to make one lever to begin with, but she actively chose to turn the second tusk into a functioning trapdoor. she could have just...just not connected the second tusk to anything. it didn't need to have a function
  4. upon reflection, this also answers the question itself: "why do we even HAVE that lever?" it's because yzma herself specifically designed it as a booby trap. "why do we have that lever?" because yzma had it built to keep people out of her secret lair! yzma made the very purposeful choice to put that lever there! and then both she and her inept henchman immediately forgot about her own booby trap! yzma that is YOUR LEVER!!!!!

why do we even have that lever? because you built it yzma. these are the machinations of your own design yzma! YOU ARE TANGLED IN A WEB OF YOUR OWN WEAVING YZMA! YZMA THAT IS YOUR CROCODILE!!!

shout-out to everyone in the notes claiming that kronk pulled the wrong lever on purpose. you are so right, this is the face of a himbo who knows what's up

#the best thing about kronk is that he is very very competent just at nothing in his actual job description #yzma keeps him around so she can be competent-passing in comparison but she is ALSO a dumbass! #dream team
