Canon sapphic couples series 1/5 : Bubbline!

I'll be selling the original/prints of this along with many other cool queer artsy things at the Festival des Visibilités lesbiennes à la Cité Fertile tomorrow ! (Sunday April 28th 2024) if you're around Paris around this time, come say hi! :D

i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

You’ve grown into someone who would have protected you as a child. And that is the most powerful move you made.

Hey, don't cry. A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shines, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design, ok?

honestly, as a trans woman i love seeing posts by transmasc ppl here because i am a masculine woman.

and I like to define my masculinity in my own terms. in a way, i am transitioning to a masculinity that does not hurt me anymore.

i like the vocabulary you guys use, i like the imagery, the strength and the energy there.

solidarity with my brothers!

sometimes u will be the only person fagging it up. sometimes it'll be hard. but u gotta do it. u gotta show all the fags that fagging it up is the way. u must strive to fag it as much as possible. u have a limited time. fag it up and dyke it out

And at last, the Archivist looks up.

The default length of pasta is designed to fit on a supermarket shelf, not to be the best length for cooking/eating.

Feel free to break it to any length you want (don't let the Italians know I said this)

they diagnosed me with i love you and it’s incurable

[kienansidhe]

you came back wrong and i am racked with guilt because i cannot bear to see you like this and i should have let you rest. i loved you so much that i defied death itself but i do not think either of us are happy

have you made a baeddel blocklist yet?

I recommend getting comfortable with the fact that you will encounter people who suck on the internet, developing your ability to understand why certain things suck and why certain ways of thinking are harmful, and committing to simply blocking people you do not want to interact with as you come across them. instead of relying on strangers to tell you who you should or should not talk to.

I say this with as much compassion as possible, knowing I have used blocklists in the past: you do not know what my standards are for categorizing someone as a "baeddel" (as opposed to, say, a random trans woman who has some unpacked baggage about masculinity). You should not trust that I will be sufficiently diligent and discerning when placing people on such a list. Maybe you're willing to take that risk when blocking people on your own blog, but you definitely shouldn't be comfortable seeing that kind of list posted publicly to a blog with thousands of followers. Particularly when trans women are facing a lot of unprompted harassment as it is, and are coming under fire from tumblr staff themselves.

Baeddelism is harmful, and I don't think it's a bad idea to block anyone who proudly- with full knowledge of what that word means- calls themselves one right now. I'm not going to circulate a list of trans women with bad opinions, though, and I really caution you to think about what that ask really means.

sometimes you dont eat fruit for awhile and then you eat some fruit and you're like oh fuck its fruit

absolutely aggravating how nonbinary medical transitions are often considered unfinished in comparison to binary ones. like nonbinary people have been included in detrans stats because we just don't transition the Real Way™ & there's an absurd amount of people out there who don't know what is possible for them to do physically or legally because everything they've ever seen assumes only binary people medically transition. sad!
