my favorite Millennial Thing™ is when a group of us are standing around and talking and someone asks a question that no one knows the answer to and suddenly it’s a race to get out your phone and google it and be the first to know, and then someone starts reading the Wikipedia article about the thing aloud to everyone else, and what started as a casual conversation is now A Learning Opportunity and we all walk away a little more knowledgeable about a random topic

Like, Boomers hate when we do that, but I think it’s one of the best things about us.

So long as we have internet or a cell signal, all of the world’s collective knowledge is at our fingertips, and damned if we aren’t going to use it.

My dad always get mad when I do this. He’s always like “We didn’t need to know.” That makes no sense to me. Why would that make me ignore my ability to learn something? I don’t always *need* to know but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pass up an opportunity to learn something new.

Why carry a supercomputer around in your pocket if you’re not gonna use it?

Y’all know you can have vanilla sex too right. Like not every sexual interaction has to have a power dynamic. You can just fuck sometimes. That’s allowed and I honestly recommend it.

I see a lot of people in the notes getting upset and saying this is ableist. I’m going to say as someone who has mental health disorders that no it isn’t. Stop acting like untreated disorders don’t effect your thinking and behavior. Just because you have your illnesses under control doesn’t mean everyone does, and just because your illnesses don’t make you behave in terrible ways doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Notice how the tweet didn’t say she was a clinical psychologist, just that she had a doctorate in it. If she was an actual clinical psychologist, she would have had to have years of field experience and several certifications. SHE IS NOT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST.

As someone who DOES have multiple mental health disorders, armchair diagnosing people you don’t like with mental disorders to draw a line between two sides in the name of absolute morality is in fact, ableist.

You may not realize it, you may be in denial about it, but it is very much a problem among neurotypical people to diagnose people with disorders to dehumanize them and “explain” their abhorrent behavior. This is because it is easier for them to comprehend someone’s behavior as being the source of a mental health issue, instead of being critical of the systems that enable their awful behavior in the first place.

Even if he does have these issues and his symptoms have to do with it, it is NOT an excuse to go and dehumanize disabled people who share the same conditions.

Stop using disabled people to draw a line between good and evil. You can be disabled/neurodivergent and not engage in disgusting behavior, and you be neurotypical and engage in abhorrent behavior.

someone: the word queer makes me uncomfortable, please don’t use it to describe me

me: you’ll 🖕 have 🖕 to 🖕 pry 🖕 it 🖕 from 🖕 my 🖕 cold 🖕 dead 🖕 queer 🖕 hands

You are allowed to choose your labels. You are not allowed to choose mine.

LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing "corrective" surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.

Your pronouns and orientations are not "too complicated" and they never will be. Humans are naturally complex creatures. Happy pride, be yourself in whatever way you can.

Identity is something so personal and important. The journey of questioning, the discovery that other people feel this too, the joy of finding community and connection with other people like us.

There is such a large diversity of experiences when it comes to gender, sex, sexuality, romantic attraction, relationship orientations and variations. I love all of the terms, all of the words, all of the pride flags, all of the communities, all of the pronouns.

A special type of queer joy is being happy and supportive and thrilled when other queer people find the words to describe their own experiences, or when someone creates a new word to give voice to their identity, when someone finds the name or pronouns that bring them comfort and happiness.

I love everyone who feels like their identities are too complicated, too complex, too obscure, too much.

You are not too complicated, your complexity is beautiful, you are only too much for those who cannot see your magic.

I love everyone who refuses to be reduced to a letter tacked onto the end of an acronym that was never designed to include them.

I love queer people, genderqueer people, genderfuck people, and genderpunk people. I love intersex people and intergender people.

I love androgynes, asexuals, aromantics, aroaces of all kinds, alloaros, alloaces, demisexuals, demiromantics, polysexuals, pansexuals, bisexuals, and omnisexuals.

I love bisexual lesbians, nonbinary lesbians, lesbians who use they/them and/or he/him pronouns, nonbinary gay people, transmasculine butches, trans lesbians, butch trans women, and gay trans men.

I love abrosexuals and abroromantics, bigender people who are both man and woman, people who use every pronoun, people who don't want any pronouns, everyone with fluid and fluxing genders and sexualities, everyone who identifies with neopronouns.

I love polyamorous people, people in queerplatonic relationships, polyamorous people in queerplatonic relationships, everyone redesigning and redefining family and relationship structures.

I love people with unheard of and uncommon genders, people with gender labels that they created themselves, people with genders and sexualities that are specific to their own cultures, neurodivergent people who are autigender, or neurogender, or gendervague.

I love all of queer culture, even the mocked and stereotyped parts. I love the shaved heads and the undercuts, the dyed hair and the piercings. I love the subcultures that are a part of our present communities and histories. I love the bears and the twinks, the kinky queers, the kinky aces, the leathermen and leatherdykes.

I love queer anarchists, queer communists, queer antifascists, queers who are dedicated to dismantling systems of oppression and creating a new world.

I love everyone who belongs to multiple communities, who claims multiple labels, who cannot be easily categorized, who refuses to be easily categorized.

It gives me so much fucking joy to see the people within our communities existing anyway, resisting anyway, living authentically anyway, being visible anyway, being proud anyway.

The possibilities of queer identity and queer lived experiences are unlimited. Joy is limitless. There is room here for all of us.
