seriously though bisexuality being defined as attraction to men and women is a heterosexual’s definition of bisexuality actual bisexual groups and organizations have been defining it as attraction to two or more genders or same and other genders since the nineties and plenty of nb people actually id as bi and refusing to accept how we define ourselves is so absurdly biphobic and heterosexist and jfc it’s 2014 can other queer people fucking realize and acknowledge this

jackawful

The purple stripe on the bi flag is meant to represent attraction to nb genders and the bisexual manifesto published in Anything That Moves includes the lines “Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature … In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” That was published in 1990. It’s older than a lot of people here, including me, and older than terms like “pansexual” and “polysexual” by at least a decade. Bi history is important.

scribblemoose

‘Bisexual’ meant ‘all genders and none’ back in the 1970s when I came out. It’s important to remember that. Maybe the word isn’t quite right now, but the meaning behind it, in my experience, always has been.

It’s 2018 and there are still people who think bisexual is transphobic. This post was written four years ago and is still relevant.

i was bisexual in the 90s (i mean, i still am now, but i also was) and it definitely meant ‘attraction to cis men and cis women’ at the time and there was very little talk about gender variance, non-binary people, etc. at the time, and i even say that as like... a weird little punk person who spent her time in the 90s around people with radical politics and stuff. and i was a kid who told her therapist at 8 that i didn’t want to be a boy or a girl ! and i grew up with gay and trans adults in my life and a parent who was involved in AIDS awareness/action !!! this is not to prove my Queer Cred or something, just some background- i feel like i was primed to be ‘in the know’ about this stuff more than the average person and i still hadn’t heard of it !

we didn’t have the internet back then, guys; almost no one had access to literature like the stuff you’re referring to except for very small circles in very specific locations. you can find a lot of stuff in random zines from the 70s-90s but that doesn’t mean anyone really saw them.

i think it’s okay to admit that definitions of words have changed and expanded as collective understanding about sexuality and identity has become more nuanced. when i say i’m bisexual now, i mean ‘attracted to my own and other genders,’ but in the 90s at least, no one knew there were other options.

p.s. i literally didn’t even see the bisexual flag ever in my life until like, 2014

White privilege is how Amy Winehouse was considered a misunderstood soul but Whitney Houston was considered a crackhead.

white privilege was a huge factor in amy winehouse’s career as a soul singer, and her legacy and image are of course affected by it. but i also think it’s important to recognize that people hate addicts so much that not only is she still mocked for being an addict in death, but she was taunted about it publicly in life and it was a contributing factor in her death. i don’t think this post is wrong about white privilege and racism in music at all (especially in the exploitation of whitney houston in the media and cruel comments after her death, or the fact that whitney’s addiction has become a ‘joke’ to many white people while amy winehouse gets documentaries made about her), but i think it kind of diminishes how much people truly hate and villify addicts.

I don’t know why, but I think some Americans don’t realise how big the UK is….

American Customer: you’re English right? Do you know the bookshop between Wales and Bristol that has lots of books in?

Me in my head: yeah mate, I know that one. Classic. Love to pop down there on a cheeky break between work. What a wanker…

I feel like these are plots that would have happened if the show went on past 10 years.

isn’t that literally the entire point of the post you reblogged? it’s called ‘fake seinfeld plots’ and lists plots from future seasons that never happened. maybe that’s why you feel like that !

Steaming HOT take 🌶🔥🌶🔥🌶🔥

Betty Deville of Rugrats fame was THE biggest dyke in town and Howard was a gay twink. Their marriage was a union of solidarity for the tax benefits and also because they didn’t want to fight the homophobic adoption system to have kids.

Look at these icons…….. ✊🏳️‍🌈

i think it’s nice that when a cartoon portrays a feminist woman as overbearing with a cowed, frail husband, kids are able to completely miss the intention and think it’s some kind of queer representation.

Why did she have to flex in his face though? Like bragging about it.

This isn’t the full clip, she does that because earlier he was doing that to her and her friend.

So she got up and showed him, hence why he was being a good sport about it.

Not a single lie in sight……

I smell a lie. Not every shooter is a white male. Don’t pull the fucking race card that “white males are scum” shit. Anyone can be a shooter. It’s not just about race you fucks.

coolthoughts

anyone CAN be a school shooter... but it IS overwhelmingly, statistically white males. soooo... you know.

The Palestine Reader

The following is a collection of articles, essays, and books on Palestine. These are not introduction texts to the question of Palestine or the Palestinain-Israeli “conflict”. If you need one read The Palestine-Israel Conflict by Gregory Harms and Todd Fery. Further, this is not an “unbiased” or “neutral” readng list. Everything listed below is counter-hegemonic. I feel absolutely no need to provide anything from the Zionist or Israeli point-of-view when that is the dominant narrative. With that said, I believe this provides a diverse, but in no means comprehensive, overview of the discourse on Palestine. A continuously updated page of this list can be found here.

I definitely think this needs to become common knowledge because I had to explain this to two boys and they immediately stopped saying it. They just had no idea what it meant really

none of this is true but they should stop saying ‘faggot’ because it’s super fuckin homophobic

Nancy Drew has long been one of the most iconic young adult properties out there, so fans were understandably excited when Dynamite Entertainment announced a new Nancy Drew book with Kelly Thompson and Jenn St-Onge at the helm. It's a powerhouse pairing of two of comics' most dynamic names, with a rare all-female creative team that's rounded out by colorist Triona Farrell and letterer Ariana Maher as well as some great variant covers from Annie Wu, Tula Lotay, and Marguerite Sauvage. I chatted with Thompson and St-Onge about bringing Nancy to life, creating comics together, and making the art form accessible. St-Onge and Thompson first collaborated on the cult hit spin-off miniseries Jem: The Misfits, and the pair were desperate to work together again. Luckily, the perfect opportunity arose. "Editor Nate Cosby approached me about a couple properties he thought I might be interested in developing into a new series for Dynamite," Thompson told Nerdist. "Nancy Drew was the one that

I get so mad at this because ms. ridley and I are the same age, which means she graduated high school in 2010. While the mid to late ‘00s had horrible fashion sense I expected to see overly flat ironed tresses, NOT feathered bangs or whatever this ‘80s monstrosity is! Let’s just say it haunts me and whenever I meet up with daisy she’ll be getting ROASTED fire sign to fire sign!

I love the Winnie the Pooh newspaper comics. Everyone’s such a dick to eachother, it’s so out of character. Is it simply called “Winnie the Pooh”? I never bothered to read the title, I just call it “It’s Always Sunny in the Hundred Acre Woods”
