Crazy Doodlez Doodles Stuff

Twice in my youth (once in high school and once in college) I was in situations where I was asking someone out and I could tell they were calculating in their heads the risks of rejecting me, and both times I said, out loud, "you can say no, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't prepared for either answer." And then they said no. This wasn't some spark of special wisdom I had - I knew to do it because feminist conversations among my age group brought it up regularly. This isn't happening nearly enough anymore.

More recently, I was really glad when we got to "rejection sensitive dysphoria" in my IOP program and it was one of those symptoms where the therapists really emphasized how it affects others. Because it does.

near as I can tell they think werewolf Jax is supposed to be this fucking thing:

for reference. original drawing. of my stupid gay OCs. made in february 2019. nine months before this dumbfuck show's pilot even came out:

I contested it. because I'm pissed. but apparently they can seek legal action against me if they want. in order to protect the sanctity. the brand identity. of Pro-Ana Family Guy.

The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation near Australia.  This is their flag:

The Gay Kingdom (as it is colloquially known) was founded in 2004 in protest against Australia’s legal stance against same-sex marriage.

Here are some of their stamps:

They are currently ruled by Emperor Dale I, and their currency is the Pink Dollar.

they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” part from the american declaration of independence. and here’s the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the “administrator” of a republic. their website, however, says that “upon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treason”. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.

everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.

As previously mentioned, the idea originated at Pride (Brisbane 2003) in reaction to punitive anti-marriage legislation

“On the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world. God Save our King!”

The campsite/capital Heaven was named after the London nightclub

War was declared on Australia in September 2004

The aforementioned stamps were issued in July 2006 “with the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternity”

They were never recognized legally/internationally as a micronation (and in fact Anderson refused to attend a conference in 2010 because they weren’t actually trying to be a sovereign nation)

In Feb 2017, Abetz was objecting to the flag of a “hostile nation” being flown

Hostile takeover, that is still ongoing, and involves an occupation, and genocide of the entire country’s people including child abduction and relocation.

ps idk what Aboriginal people thought about declaring a lesbian and gay kingdom, people do not permanently live in the coral sea - but they used to when the sea level was different. The place has Traditional Owners and because Aboriginal oral history transmission is so lasting there were living people who still have rights and responsibilities to the islands and reefs - so yeah, putting a flag up on country in Australia is probably very poor taste and maybe queer community would do it differently now - I live in hope but I guess not.

"but, this person goes by he/him but dresses femininely-"
