Queer Comfort Space

“A child/student/young person asked me how to do X why does nobody get taught anything these days!!!” It’s you, buddy, you’re the teaching, this may legitimately never have come up before, why do people think education is exclusively some kind of abstract preemptive measure, most importantly done by other people so the rest of us only get the benefits and don’t have to do the work. Sometimes the person who is going to teach this is you. Fucking step up

ok repeat after me: gluten free is not "diet culture". gluten free is not meant to "take the joy away from carbs". gluten free is a diet that allows people with an autoimmune disease to eat without inflicting further damage upon their bodies. we don't have to be condemned to eat the most disgusting and basic shit ever because we have celiacs. we deserve options too.

nobody ever believes me when I list off all of the ways that humans are significantly less sexually dimorphic than people seem to believe and it drives me batshit insane. “you’re denying the biological reality of sex” well you’re sticking your fingers in your ears and saying lalalala every time anyone presents you with data that confirms that women and men aren’t really that different. and refusing to come to terms with the two-way relationship between the “biological” and “social” worlds. I think one of us is ignoring the biological sciences here and it isn’t me

I’ve realized that my family doesn’t respond well to me pointing out their racism or body shaming by saying it’s “rude” and “a shitty thing to say” because those are things they don’t care about, so instead I’ve resorted to saying it’s “classless” and “not elegant.” It’s turned out to be surprisingly effective

i genuinely believe it's best when children are taught age appropriate lessons about sex and sexuality and consent basically as soon as they can string together a sentence. kids at any age can experience sexual feelings that are weird and confusing and leaving them in the dark just leaves them so vulnerable to having precocious sexual feelings exploited by adults

ppl on this website will say that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it and then recycle the same "This Marginalized Queer Group Is Actually Bad And It's Actually Okay To Bully Them And Harass Them" discourse every year like clockwork

we saw you from across the bar and you looked really anxious. can you tell us five things you can see, four things you can hear. okay good, we’re glad you’re okay. do you wanna come home with us and have a threesome?

in film school they’ll tell you that actors stand close to each other in old movies because the aspect ratio is different and they have less room. however, this is not true. they stand close to each other because they’re all playing closeted gay men who want to kiss

Alleviating gender dysphoria, not with binding or packing, but a secret third thing (padding your waist and ribs until they are the same size as your breasts)

Rofl -- I did this, too. None of my Kens looked twinky enough to be Jack from Titanic, so I lobbed the hair off of one of my Barbies, cut off her boobs, and used acetone to take off her lipstick. Voila, I had a Jack to play with.

At 0:19 you can see them fully assault a protester. Not "just" escorting them out the building, but shoving them onto the ground hard

being smart has never stopped me from being a complete fucking idiot

You are valued on this earth. Your presence matters to people. The people who love you love you dearly. You might not notice the impact you have, that the delivery person is glad to see your plants, that a stranger on the street smiled because you passed by, the person who follows you is excited to see your posts, that your coworkers, classmates, and community members are grateful for your life in more ways than they express.

Museums not giving stolen artifacts and bodies back is bonkers. Like what if someone from China went into Arlington cemetery and dug up JFK’s dead body and took him and his eternal flame back to China and refused to give him back like that would be pretty messed up and kind of weird right like put John back that’s not where he goes but that’s basically what the British museum does every day

Imagine if somebody went into all the Catholic Churches in your area and cut out all of their stained glass windows to display in a sterile white room 5,000 miles away like that’s the level of ridiculousness we’re dealing with here. Those aren’t your windows, man. What the fuck.
