I'm so glad everyone has been too busy posting contraptions to post literally anything abt the story I have no idea what I'm in for

ok some days being visibly homo is the most wonderful thing in the world. an old woman walking her dog stopped to say hello to me and I asked if i could say hi to her dog. she seemed really excited and told me "his name is rupert brooke. i named him after a gay poet from the era of the first world war. he had red hair just like my dogs fur". then she leans in and whispers like she's divulging some great secret and says "i don't usually tell people about the gay part"

I’ve told this one before, but: I was in a long-distance relationship in 2010. One time, after flying back into Toronto, I got a cab to my apartment. The cab driver, who was a recent Pakistani immigrant, asked where I had been travelling.

And I had to think about my safety as a passenger and a woman, but I decided to just tell him: “I was visiting my girlfriend in New York.” And he went quiet, and I was briefly terrified, and then he said, “It’s good here in Canada, for people like us.” AND THEN I FUCKING CRIED OBVIOUSLY.

It’s good to be visibly or openly queer, when you can be. There are so many more of us out there than you ever realize otherwise.

i was applying for tafe in 2017, and i had on my 'gay agenda' tank (the one that has fallen to pieces with wear)

and i was being served by this older guy (I'd say about mid to late 60's) who just looked like 'average moustached older white guy'

well after I'd finished filling out all the paperwork he says "i like you shirt." and i say thankyou

and then he says "sometimes i wish my partner could see how far we've come, i lost him in 2004, The Sickness, you know. wed been together 38 years. and now there's queer marriage and you can safely walk around by yourself in that shirt. its truly amazing."

and we talked a little more, but i bawled my eyes out once i got to my car

my number one woman behavior is saying i’m fine with any pronouns and silently ranking people in my regard based on what they do with that information

This is George Costanza behavior

GEORGE: she he’d me!

JERRY: exclusively?!

GEORGE: the WHOLE evening.

JERRY: and this is the girl who had ACAB Land Back Fuck TERFs in her profile?

GEORGE: i told you, jerry! i told you that was a huge red flag. all performativity, no understanding behind it.

JERRY: i just don’t get it, who hears “any pronouns” and doesn’t even throw a they into the mix?

GEORGE: cis women on tinder, apparently!

KRAMER: *barging in* george! how’d that tinder date go?

GEORGE: terrible!

KRAMER: i warned you! jerry, i warned her, i told her “keep to hinge and her, there’s nothing for you on tinder” and did they listen?

JERRY: xe didn’t listen.

ah, i’m so bad at posting here. acknowledging this Day of Mourning from the lands of Kiikaapoi, Peoria, Potawatomi, Myaamia & Ochethi Sakowin people, aka Chicago, derived from a native word for garlic (mmm…) which is really suitable for me because I live here now 🌱🧄✨

whose.land are you on? talk about it over dinner this weekend with your fam & what it means to give the #landback. considering everything, listening & learning from indigenous people is the least you can do.

might go pick up totk later im excited to torture the little leaf fellows with my contraptions
