Expresso :)

i have no object permanence about myself. if i’m not in anyones eye sight i assume i have ceased to be. finding out people remember i exist, think about me, and even talk about me when i’m not actively in front of them is startling news every time it is brought to my attention

please check someone’s tag on their blog before jumping into conclusions like this. some people use the same tag for general non-gender related reasons and if it’s personally triggering for you pls reach out to the person instead of making a public callout post like this when you yourself haven’t done your own research

i do think it shouldve been dm’d instead of public but why tf did you PIN IT op 😭

i keep seeing arguments about various types of LGBT media that boil down to "there's too much of [one type of LGBT media], we need more of [other type of LGBT media]" and it's like.... there isn't 'too much' of any kind of lgbt stuff actually

e.g 'there's too much tv about mlm, we need more about wlw' or 'there are too many simple family-friendly gay movies, we need more raw adult-centric gay stories' and like i get it, i really do, and the second part of these statements is almost always the truth, but the central problem is not an overrepresentation of gay men or love simons or whatnot; it's that certain types of queer fiction have a harder time getting made. it isn't a zero sum game. cutesy gay netflix shows for teenagers are not responsible for the fact that gay experiences that aren't considered advertiser-friendly enough for public consumption are less likely to be made, and there being fewer of them would not address any of those root causes in any meaningful way. (or more broadly, the fact that 'advertiser friendliness' is such a determiner of a show's fate at all). the only LGBT media there's "too much of" is the stuff that's actually homophobic or transphobic

unpopular opinion maybe but waking up to rain on a quiet weekend is quite literally the most magical thing in the world

love when people become so online in spaces like this where marginalized people are actually the ones dominating the conversations, that they forget what its like in the real world and start making positivity posts for things that are literally 100% unchallenged and normalized irl

let men be masculine
