the way usamericans talk about their military fucks me up. thank you for what service like which service are they providing you with. they're protecting your country from what. they're fighting for the freedom of whomst. why do they need to do that for and why are they doing in it in the middle east

There is no bar you can clear that will convince people who say "there's no f/f bc there aren't enough good female characters" that they're wrong.

You can point to how fandom will go to unimaginable lengths to ship two *male* characters who've never met or are two-dimensional cutouts in canon, and they will say "but I don't always want to DO that much work (when they're girls)!" You can point to shows featuring or focusing on female characters (sometimes with sprawling casts of options!) and they will say "but nobody watches those" (which is a tautology - I don't watch because nobody watches so nobody will watch). You can name two female characters from *shows they watch* and they will gesture broadly at all of media ever produced in Western canon and say "not enough." You can point to popular female characters or f/f ships and their fandoms are too "toxic" or "too intense" (while never saying boo about the shippers for their m/m faves harassing actual actresses irl). You can give them a laundry list of options from here to the farthest sea, and they will start litigating what they mean by a "good" female character or a "compelling" f/f ship until nothing remains (while never holding their white dude faves to similar standards).

You cannot win. Because they're convinced that they cannot be misogynistic, ever, and the fault must be elsewhere, always. The goalposts will always move so they can never be accused of bias. Every time.

Feeling unspeakably angry at my government right now. Does anyone have any positive queer stories to share?

Hey, my incredible girlfriends Ivy and Jade are currently stuck in a financial chokehold with the job market in Montana rn; it's a red state with little opportunities for disabled folks to keep a job, let alone a well-paying one, so we're starting a GoFundMe to get them moved out of there and into a Blue State and closer to me!! Anything at all helps out a ton - I just want my gfs to be happy here in Washington ;w;

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I don't usually mention that I'm an nb lesbian on donation posts but atm, it's relevant. I have to replace groceries as mice have eaten/contaminated much of my food, I have 2 doctors I need to see ASAP (eye insurance renews July 1st & my psych refuses to renew certain meds w/out an appointment), in addition to general med costs, this is very financially strenuous for me.

Med renewal w/ my psych is $210 & the eye dr is typically $235. I anticipate needing about $650 in financial assistance this month. I am extremely grateful & appreciative for all of the help I have received, thank you all so much! ❤️

Venmo also @ cab972

I hate that talking out your problems with people is genuinely the way to solve conflict like can't I just chew on glass instead?

Is it just me or do you feel disgusted of yourself when you tell people your business
