(+IMPORTANT) (Nov,2023)-A Bit Fruity Podcast (created by Matt Bernstein (gay American Jewish man) Ep with Moe Dabbagh, a gay Palestinian American with family currently in Gaza. ‘Queers for Palestine & The Power of Pinkwashing’. Palestine has been occupied for more than 76 years now, since 1948 year. This ep gives you a LOT of information, especially if you are one of the people who can’t see right through the propaganda; or the ones who go ‘well if you’re gay then go to Gaza and see how that goes for you���. Queer Liberation is a liberation of Palestinian people. We can’t have one without the other. Free Palestine. Free all the people that are not yet free. This is where we start!!

Credit: Anything That Moves / The poem continues, but the point is clear from the start: Bisexual people aren't believed for who they are. They're belittled and told to "choose a side," that they're bisexual for attention. It's difficult to think that this poem is over 30 years old. The poem "truly could've been written yesterday... or 50 years ago," said Marshall. "How long do we have to keep screaming the same things to the world over and over until people stop pretending we're speaking another galaxy's language?" --- The solace of Anything That Moves, however, is that even though progress has been slow, fellow bisexual people can relate to the shared experience detailed in its pages.:https://www.tumblr.com/yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere/770848263124500480?source=share

an amazing watch. matt & taylor lorenz have really broken down why men these days are the way they are and how these right wing media personalities are radicalizing them. also the last half an hour of the podcast details why left leaning podcasters just don't have the same effect as the right leaning ones and how america's left needs to get with the time and start talking to actual young people instead of doing whatever the hell they're doing.

Chappell Roan is the best. As a queer Midwesterner, it's always nice to see someone make it out. Check out more wonderful things can be found on mattxiv's Instagram.

So idk how many of you follow mattxiv on instagram (if you don’t, you should, this blog is a Matt fan page fyi) but his recent post about standing up for what you believe in is so inspiring honestly. I’ve been thinking about it for days. No amount of hate that you get from others or counter protest backlash will make standing up for what is right nor worth it. Free Palestine. In Matt’s words, once this is all over and it’s safe to be against it, we will all be against it. Take a stand when it’s right, not when it becomes popular.

popular instagrammer mattxiv made a post talking abt taylor hugging and hanging out with that racist trump lady (his post was made before taylor endorsed kamala harris this election) and apparently he got ripped to shreds on twitter by swifties. not only were these ppl homophobic and sending him death threats but they also doxxed his family?? Wtf
