Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be a woman?”

Why shouldn’t she be?

“Why does this character have to be gay?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be trans?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be disabled?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be fat?”

Concealing information never made anyone more competent.

If you don't give your children terms and definitions, they won't be able to recognize danger when it comes, because their worldview simply won't include the concept that "when this adult Mr/Mrs does/says this, it means they might have intentions to harm me."

and then when you ask children questions, they cannot explain what happened for the same reason - they do not have the vocabulary and knowledge.

Normalize sex education, you short-sighted idiots!!!

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

The rest of the thread is here.

AO3 still doesn’t let you monetize those things on the site, because we don’t want the site to be commercial! Because that’s not what it’s for!

It’s not there for you (generic you) to make money off the efforts of the people who build and maintain the site for free! We aren’t getting paid for the work we do to give you a nice site to use, just like you aren’t getting paid for the work you do to create whatever art you share there. Because fandom is supposed to be a community where we share with each other, and therefore we all benefit.

internalised misogyny is not:

being a trans man

being non-binary

just not being a woman

being masculine

enjoying yaoi

engaging in yaoi

dating men

liking men

“Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma” doesn’t contain a slur, but “What are you, some kind of fag?” does.

“Queer studies”, “the queer community” and “I’m queer”? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a “dirty queer”? Slur.

“Be gay, do crimes” and “He’s gay” ≠ slur, but “Ew, that’s so gay” = slur.

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

I want to share something important with you. After my previous GoFundMe account was suspended, I had to create a new one so I could continue seeking the support that I urgently need. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me before, and your kindness has meant more to me than words can express.

Today, I am asking for your help once again. Please do not leave me alone during this difficult time. If you are able to donate, your contribution will make a significant difference. If you cannot donate, sharing my campaign with your friends, family, and community would be just as valuable.

Every donation, no matter the amount, and every share brings me one step closer to overcoming these challenges. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity, trust, and continued support. ❤️🙏

Please support my new campaign and help spread the word. Your support gives me hope and makes a real difference in my life.

Please don't forget my family in your support. ❤️

My family and I are still facing very difficult circumstances, and your kindness continues to be a source of hope for us. Every donation, no matter how small, and every share of our campaign helps us get through these challenging times. We are truly grateful for everyone who stands with us and keeps us in their thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for supporting my family and for giving us strength and hope for a better future. 🙏❤️
