what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.
something something healing potions that instantly heal any wound you might have but you immediately age the amount of time it would take to naturally heal from that kind of injury
Neurotypicals will be like “I know you have a disability that affects your ability to stay organized, manage your time properly, socialize, or control what you’re able to think about or focus on, but that’s not an excuse to have trouble staying organized, managing your time properly, socializing, or controlling what you need to think about or focus on.” And then demand that they aren’t ableist. I’m tired.
ed: yeah just bung the dishes in the sink over there, i’ll take care of them and we’re even stevens
stede: we’re what?
ed: even stevens
ed: cuz you did the dinner so i’m cleaning up after. which makes us even.
ed: stevens.
stede: but i had fun doing the dinner! and you hate doing dishes!
ed: yeah, but you hate doing the dishes. i can’t just always not be doing the dishes, they need getting done
stede: well it doesn’t seem fair that i get the job i like and you get the job you hate, i don’t like that
ed: ..so…. not even stevens, then
stede: no, not even stevens. i’d actually say we’re pretty odd todd!
ed: odd—
stede:
ed: even steven and odd todd sound kind of like—
stede: a lot like sitcom characters, yeah
ed (in a funny voice): “oh, hello, i’m even steven”
stede (in an equally funny voice): “and i’m odd todd! and we’re the—”
ed: “—the numbers brothers”
stede: “—or ambiguously committed roommates, depending on the broadcasting laws in your country!”
ed: “maybe we’re cousins, like in sailor moon!”
stede: “i understand that reference, because my actor has kids! how the hell did your actor know that, steven?”
ed: “my actor likes to fall asleep with the television on, because silence makes him lonely!”
stede (dropping the voice): aw ed… :(
ed: (also dropping the voice): shit sorry was that a little too heavy
stede: is that why you had those weather channel videos playing the whole time i was at that conference?
ed: maybe. a little, yeah. i mean, there’s—i also just really like weather, you know that.
stede: why don’t we coordinate our evenings next conference so we can sit down and watch the weather at the same time? we could compare and contrast over the phone
ed:
ed (tears in eyes): that’s the best fucking idea i’ve ever heard from anyone
Sometimes I see fanfiction that is so good, I'm just like, HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU WRITE SOMETHING THAT IS LITERALLY RIPPING MY SOUL APART FROM THE SHEER BEAUTY OF WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED?
And then I proceed to weep with joy and anguish, simultaneously.
“stop congratulating cis allies for doing the bare minimum” NO!!! i want to encourage speaking out and being on trans people’s side!!! stop being assholes to people just trying to support you and give them room to grow!!!
I'm convinced it was a tragedy that tumblr learned the phrase "bury your gays" at the exact same time it decided that any fictional media darker than Landlord White was pearl-clutchingly problematic. Pouring one out for every creator of earnest LGBT+ media wanting to explore the themes of grief loss and tragedy who then got subsequently hounded by mobs of terminally online users brainrotted on nothing but conflict-free coffee shop AUs.
