i'm sylvie i'm twentysomething and i like comic books. please don’t follow if you’re under 18

i don’t understand the straight woman trope of hating giving their boyfriends/husbands blowjobs but doing it anyway bc first of all and most importantly nobody should perform sex acts they dislike out of a sense of obligation and it’s messed up that it’s so normalized for women to do exactly that but also i feel like if you are sexually attracted to your partner and enjoy engaging in sexual activity with them generally then giving them blowjobs ought to be hot as hell for you as well as for them but then what do i know

i genuinely think we should have more cross-gender acting in film. i think cis female actors should play cis male characters and vice versa without the characters’ masculinity or femininity being a joke and i think this ought to happen enough that it isn’t a big deal at all. cast timothee chalamet as marie antoinette he can pull it off. let gong li play an emperor. this will be good for everyone, especially me

the 2024 met gala theme will be ovid's metamorphosis to respect the importance of greek classicalism in fashion aesthetic principles of construction. lil nas x will be dressed as actaeon's hounds, a metaphor for the punishment of black men's existence being seen as predatory. kylie jenner will wear a crimped taffeta toga. florence welch will be in dior as medusa, veiled and weeping. she is a statement about the destruction of intent and story in the face of achronistic politics: medusa can't be a monster if she's a woman, medusa can't be a woman if she's a monster. drake wears a tailored black suit with a black tie and white shirt. seventeen different women dress as botticelli's venus in some form and rip each other to shreds in rage and divine madness, watched over by dionysus, who is dressed as jack black

here is Gilbert Baker’s 2017 nine-striped diversity pride flag:

the lavender represents diversity. the pink represents sex or sexuality (different sources say different things). the red represents life. the orange represents healing. the yellow represents sunlight. the green represents nature. the turquoise represents magic and art. the indigo represents serenity and harmony. the purple represents spirit.

actually, i’m going to have more emotions about how Gilbert Baker mentioned that he struggled to make rent but watched corporations make millions off rainbow products. and how three months after Gilbert Baker added a lavender diversity stripe to his original design (which was already a rainbow to represent the fact that the queer community should be all-encompassing without prioritizing one group over the others) the city of Philadelphia added black and brown to the six-stripe version to represent QPOC. and how people have been adding the trans stripes and the intersex circle. and QPOC and trans people and intersex people deserve way more than we’ve given them. but also there isn’t a consensus within the intersex community that being intersex is inherently queer. and i’m having emotions about how the original flag was meant to be correct no matter which stripe you put on top, because your orientation doesn’t make you any less valid no matter what it is.

anyway i love the sentiment behind the progress pride flags and it is tragic that the more colour, more pride flag was made because QPOC were being denied access to gay bars on the basis of dress code. at the same time, we cannot let ourselves forget Gilbert Baker’s lavender diversity stripe.

adding more in honour of pride month 2022. when pink and turquoise were removed, ¼ of the meaning was removed. while the six-stripe version is definitely more recognizable and easier to produce, online spaces don’t have to worry about finding sufficient fabric. there is no reason for the lavender stripe pride flag to be so obscure. 

you might notice that i’ve reused that source. the truth is, i can’t find more information online about the lavender stripe diversity pride flag. i keep calling it by different names because there is no official or agreed-upon name for it.

there is no reason for us to ignore the 2017 nine-stripe pride flag. honour queer history. know about gilbert baker’s last action. i don’t care whether or not you use it. but please, please learn about it.
