oh god my post ragging on r/SapphoAndHerFriend-ism made it to Reddit
some clarification:
I did not say, nor do I believe, that modern sexuality or gender terms can never be applied to historical people. I actually think that argument is disingenuous and harmful. I DO think proper context should be given, ie "they wouldn't have called themself XYZ, but here's why we feel confident back-applying the term to them: [evidence]"
Yes, you do need evidence to claim that a man and a woman were lovers. I frequently say, if it comes up, that someone who was in an M/F marriage in history was "probably heterosexual" rather than a confident assertion of the same
I am gay. I am a big ol' lesbian. Oh my god "history worker" and "queer" are not mutually exclusive
I am merely really really annoyed when people cry Erasure just because historians didn't use 100% modern-approved language in discussing queer figures that they were being completely open about
genuinely I have seen people get their knickers in a twist because a museum called two romantic partners "companions" and in no way denied their romance

Are they ‘trauma dumping’ or are they just discussing their life experience and you are such an asshole that you can’t stand to be confronted with information that makes you uncomfortable for 0.005 seconds???

sometimes it’s annoying when your character can’t jump in a video game but how often do you jump in real life?

there is something to be said for going to zoos and aquariums on weekdays to avoid school-aged crowds but going to the aviary on a weekend is fun because going into big greenhouses and watching toddlers who just learned to walk encounter loose tropical animals taller than they are is part of the overall experience for me.
to me a three year old is just as much an entertaining and strange beast as an egret. and here they can interact directly. incredible.

Trying to take care of yourself when you're sick is so annoying. Like you know you should probably eat something and you're trying to question yourself on what you'd want to eat, and the only answer is your inner voice of dying Jane Austen going "I desire nothing but death". well ok you dramatic sickly bitch do you want that with garlic or hot sauce.

Proposal for new fandom etiquette:
If you read a fic because it was linked/recced somewhere, you leave a comment saying "came from XXX" and that comment doesn't need to include anything else.
Because when all of a sudden there's a lot of activity on one particular fic I WANNA KNOW WHY!!!!!

truly never getting over the greatest loss streaming services caused: the disappearance of DVD special features. behind the scenes, bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries, I will never forget you, I will never stop missing you.
