i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

[differentnighttale]

Yup.

Especially good when it comes to murder mysteries.

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

Sabias poem.

I weep for the queer kids

I weep for the trans kids

I weep for bisexual kids

I weep for pan kids

I weep for the kids who want to be their self

All because of this stupid bill the government wants to push on

I weep for the people with haterd in their heart who have horrible plans for people they hate

I weep for the girls like me who could loose their lives

I weep for the adults who lost their lives

People who gave to deny themselves

I weep for them because a bill wants erase their existence

A bill wants to pretend they don't exist

Oh Ghana, oh Ghana, why ?

This is based on a bill my country wants to set off ,it makes me so mad that our government thinks this is good meanwhile our country is suffering already.

[differentnighttale]

Ho guys.

I'm back kind of.

I'm back in italy and have a bunch of people to write.

Can't wait.

"the concept of queerplatonic relationships originated from the asexual community" and "anyone of any orientation can be in a QPR" and "it's weird to give an overview of QPRs that mentions asexuality without mentioning their significance to so many aromantic people" and "QPRs don't need to be non-sexual" are all true statements that can easily coexist

do we think Kit closed the door on Ty as soon as he saw it was him or did he open it and just stand there

i think Kit closed it as soon as he got a clear view that it was Ty and then Ty pushed it back and had his “outburst” and then Kit stood there and let him in

[differentnighttale]

All this !

Yes,too many people live inside my head, and they want out !

"why do you write?" because it’s the only way to silence the characters pacing around my brain like victorian ghosts with unresolved issues that prevent them from moving on.

[differentnighttale]

Stap

Right
