this is what living like this does

one of the biggest indicators that biphobia is still raging through the queer community is that people act like chappell roan is god’s gift to sapphics for writing mainstream songs about being queer as if we’ve never had an openly gay female artist before while women like lady gaga and kesha and doechii are just treated like allies to the community despite literally being bisexual like you’re not slick how obvious it is y’all think lesbianism is a more valid form of queerness than bisexuality, these women are not allies they are PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY. They are not “for the gays” THEY ARE THE FUCKING GAYS.

‘no one is coming to save you’ okay fine I agree but can I even get a hug at least

This is about the UK specifically.

Alan Turing (as in the Turing test) was chemically castrated following a conviction for “homosexual acts” in 1952. He committed suicide as a result.

one of The Many problems with how the general public conceptualizes addiction and recovery is that "rock bottom" makes a really good narrative beat, it's a nice and dramatic second act low point in your classic three act structure to give a character something to make them reevaluate and get their life in order, and the human brain sure likes holding on to Fun Narratives, so even well-intentioned people who don't consider themselves to believe in punitive measures get it stuck into their heads that thee way that people get sober is by experiencing some kind of reckoning of harsh consequences (losing a job or home, overdosing, being rejected by loved ones, getting desperate and feeling driven to do something really awful to keep using, etc). when, if you think about it for like two seconds, basically no one in the world is going to juuust about survive their own personal worst case scenario and think "wow, now would be a really great time to give up my only coping mechanism and voluntarily induce a medical emergency for the next several weeks," that kind of thing is far more likely to just immediately make everything Much worse.

I once saw a parenting blog or something that was written with a very earnest and measured tone seriously give the advice "if your teen is struggling with addiction and won't respond to anything you do then your best move would be to kick them out and cut them off so they run out of other options more quickly" and I just sat there in a kind of mute horror for a few minutes afterwards. like. no that's actually how you kill people. if a child is already in the midst of a mental health crisis, and you then deliberately engineer the situation to give them a second crisis, that is how you kill someone. I cannot stress this enough.

I would give SO MUCH to have this movie.

the point was thoroughly lost the second the debate over calling trans people terms like bro and queen and dude became "is it gender neutral" and not "dont call people things they dont want to be called". like, frankly I dont give a shit if theyre gender neutral, what matters is that one of the core tennents of respecting trans people is simply not calling people things they dont want to be called. its not that hard.

The pop up mixed with all the labeled space objects make it look ominously like you're deleting a galaxy or something

We don't need them all

the real reason for the Fermi Paradox is that op keeps deleting the aliens

I need the space for more computer games

-The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin

"I don't get you Goragog." "Listen, it's nice. Just nice! Can't things be nice? Is it a sin for things to be nice?" "No and that's part of the problem..." "You're just jealous Samantha created a "bffs forever" blingee with me. When was the last time one of your warlocks did something like that for you?" "*on the verge of tears* it's been DECADES!"

honestly I'm very grateful that I got involved in queer community organizing basically as soon as I turned 18, because that's how I was exposed to other queer people saying things like "I just wouldn't trust a bisexual" and "I don't believe in that privilege stuff" and "I don't like when people act like you have to be a feminist if you're gay," all of which taught me at a very young age the crucial truth that queer people can be very stupid and very wrong

I think there's a pervasive tendency among very young baby queers to get kind of dazzled by being among other gay people for the first time and that combined with the heady drug of the first taste of independence can really make you start thinking of The Queer Community(TM) like it's one big enlightened rainbow utopia but unfortunately we have dipshits and malevolent freaks like every other demographic. Peter Thiel is in here.

my condolences to the people learning that Peter Thiel is gay from this post
