elm (they/them) | i reblog stuff

Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).

Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).

Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included  78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)

Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.

Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations

yeah that’s super important.

This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.

Be kind. 💜

Friendly reminder that calling Zuckerburg a lizard or alien is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews. Zuckerberg is an ethnic Jew, and insinuating that he's something inhuman only contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views

Let me help some of y'all with reading comprehension:

"[C]alling [any Jewish person] a lizard or alien [or not human] is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews... [and] ...contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views."

It's not about one guy. It's about being made aware that using neo-nazi dogwhistles about a Jewish person makes the world a more comfortable place for nazis to fuckin murder the rest of us.

It's okay if you didn't know, it's not your fault, dogwhistles are that way on purpose, to slip by unknowingly. Just knock it off and try not to spread it around yes? Okay.

can you explain? i don’t get it

This is like someone just informed the newcomers about the devils sacrament taking place every full moon and the devil itself popped up asking “what sacrament?” with a cheshire grin.

avoiding eviction, 2023 edition

good morning. i am very tired. remember last year when our landlord decided to try and evict us with no legal standing and it turned into a months-long fight even after we paid him $1500 (thanks to the generosity of you guys and others in the community, which i can't even put into words how grateful we are for)? yeah, well. gestures vaguely. he's doing it again <3

this time, this bastard in all his disgustingly greedy glory wants $2600 by the end of june. being blunt, there's not much we can do to pull that out of our asses without some serious detriment to other financial corners, like bills, doctor trips and medicine. so, here i am again, asking for whatever help you may be able to give, even if it's as simple as spreading the word.

donations of any amount can ask for as many stickers and prints as their hearts desire (just note that they may be late in going out, as i'm almost out of stamps). donations over $30 can get a colored sketch commission; over $70 can get a flat colored comm. i'm even willing to do tattoo design commissions (donation amount depending on complexity).

here's the kofi goal, as well as my shop. maybe one day we'll finally stop getting hit over and over with crisis events. i can only hope

i wish i had something more to say than, just. please help us. and thank you. please remember that you're loved, and you're worth it, and you're welcome here. i hope you have better days than we currently are

society's infantilization of decorated objects is honestly one of the greatest recent crimes against humans' innate desire for beauty

"the toothbrush/hairbrush/bike/vanity desk with flowers on it is For Kids! this plain beige one is For Adults!"

I am literally throwing you into a volcano

love ignoring things ‘have you seen this terrible show’ no im the ignorer ‘can you believe what that celebrity tweeted yesterday’ i am the ignorer

1) Width. Add it.

2) Width. Just. Yeah. If you want to draw a really big guy - do it. The third guy is ok, but it's just a small guy with belly!

3) Gravity! More fat - more soft - gravity goes brr.

4) Basic shapes and clothes would definitely help you to draw a big comfy soft guy!
