“Can I be butch if I’m [insert gender identity here]?” Yeah. “But what if—” Doesn’t matter. You can be butch. “But someone on TikTok said—” TikTok is a psyop designed to destroy the humanity of anyone who uses it for too long, you better not be taking anything to heart if it comes from TikTok. “But I don’t want top surgery or short hair.” Then you’re gonna be in great company because neither of those things are requirements to be butch. “But I’m not strong or tough.” The bedrock of butchness is built on fat, disabled, gentle butches. You belong here. You can be butch if you feel you are.

harrow's relationship with gideon's name is insane to me. like she hardly ever says it. she almost never actually says gideon's name, and when she does it's usually a big deal. the first time of course being her shouting "gideon! gideon!" after the avulsion trial, a rare display of open attachment and concern. the other that stands out is when her last words in harrow the ninth, for all intents and purposes, are gideon's name, even though she doesn't even know what she's saying. i don't think harrow ever once says it lightly, without really truly meaning something by it. but the rest of the time? the rest of the time she calls her "griddle." which is transparently babytalk. fucking insane that harrow's mean annoying nickname for gideon is just. just her struggle to pronounce it as a toddler. how perplexingly cruel and vulnerable is that. parroting your own babytalk at someone. you have always been stuck with me and you always will. you will never escape our shared childhood. i am as fundamental to you as you are to me. your name was one of the first i ever tried to say. i have been asking for your attention for our entire lives. i have been calling to you since before i could form the syllables. gid-oh! gid-oh! gid-oh!

Happy Juneteenth to black trans femmes and black non binary people and black lesbians of all shapes and sizes and black trans masculines and black gender non conforming people and black asexuals and our cis and het siblings. Happy Juneteenth to every single black person PERIOD.

I feel like some people watching The Testaments tend to forget sometimes these are brainwashed children. Whose adults are not safe. Like so many of the “Why do they act like (blank)” can be answered with “They are brainwashed children who have zero safe adults to turn to.”

hate it when people say 'you cant make everything gay'. yes I fucking can???

What a boy’s club wow! Nice to see a time before those obnoxious women started invading Star Trek!
