I'm so sorry to be defending Zohran Mamdani, a figure that is by all measures not sufficiently socialist for a lot of those on my dash, but he's still a Muslim public figure who is visibly nonwhite and some of you are way too comfortable with overlooking what it means for someone like this to win the mayorship of one of the biggest cities in the USA despite a constant racist and islamophobic mainstream coverage.

Your yearly reminder that polyamorous people are queer in every sense that matters.

Unsupported by government, unable to marry the people we love. Risking consequences if we come out within our family, if we come out at our work, in custody arguments against a non-polyamorous person because we are considered a danger or bad influence on children. A challenge to heteronormative conceptions of what love and relationships are meant to be.

Most polyamorous people are queer to start with, because once you start questioning heteronormativity, you start asking other questions about what a sexual or romantic or committed relationship should be. But that doesn't mean that polyamory isn't inherently queer in and of itself.

Please don't forget us in your queer positivity posts. Please don't forget us when you think about what queerness encompasses.

I've seen countless people, many who are fellow queers, talk shit about poly relationships because "they never last", as if most relationships last? As if most people don't have several exes? Meanwhile I'm sitting here in my stable triad polycule that.... in a couple years I will have been in this polycule for as long as I was outside of it (you know, when I was a child). It's an open polycule too, we've all had relationships outside of the triad and we're all still good and happy with each other. My triad has outlasted my heterosexual parents' marriage by many many years.

Stop being weird about poly people. We're exactly as queer as the rest of queer people, and we need you to recognize that.

in my head hux's offer to ren to take corellia was not just only a very good strategic one, but a weird little 'cat-leaves-mutilated-mouse-on-pillowcase' overture of potential allyship because hux saw him visit mustafar, he saw him crush naboo. . . do you think he saw him doing a weird little skywalker family trauma tour and thought to himself "well why don't i offer to do corellia with him" like shmoopy that's so cute of you

The fact that they really went so far as to have Kylo make the two parts of his legacy, resistance and tyranny, fight each other under his command as a proxy for his own self-hate is just so *gnaws on the drywall*
