Since it's pride month I'm going to say. Can we stop making fun of adults who don't have sex. Not even particularly asexuals, just general people who don't like sex personally or don't want to have it for whatever reason. It's just not great to portray people who don't have sex as weird losers or naive little kids or whatever, even as a joke

what gives the lie to “silence is complicity” or its cousin “silence is violence” is that people are silent about tens, hundreds, thousands of atrocities happening right at this moment because they do not know they are happening/there is simply not enough time in the day to condemn all the evil in the world.

do you think the people saying “silence is complicity” really believe what they are saying, which implicates them too, or do they feel entitled to a stranger’s take? is it a way to build coalition or bully people? is it, at best, a poorly thought out phrase (and there are many such cases!) or is it lying through teeth?

does anyone really believe that saying the right words absolves you? that that’s all there is to it and nothing more?

everyone is pissing me off lately. “thinness shouldn’t be held up as a moral imperative” and “I don’t care if you individually would like to lose weight for health or aesthetic reasons” are two positions that can easily coexist in the mind of any rational person.

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

Punishing queer people for coming out as bisexual during Pride month is cruel and small minded.

Policing the limits of what kinds of sexuality can be expressed is queerphobic.

Fascism thrives when a community self-polices, and some of you are starting to talk an awful lot like cops.

cannot stop thinking about this tweet… AUGH 😭

We can talk about how there’s definitely a racism/Islamaphobia issue in a lot of Jewish communities without…*flips through notebook* literal saying Jewish people should assimilate and give up their Jewishness (ie cultural genocide)

These antisemites are getting way too comfortable and I don’t like it
