bones town

but ariana grande coming out with a song where one of the lyrics is “i like women and men” that’s just kinda part of the bridge that a bisexual woman wrote

and then saying she doesn’t need to label her sexuality–

a literal month after flat out saying she’s straight when receiving criticism for performing at pride… i’m?????????

like this is the most inorganic shit i have ever seen. “ariana stop gaybaiting and entering spaces where you belong,” and she’s like “i’m just trying to be an ally because all my fans are gay” and then the criticism keeps happening and now she’s like “teehee i might be one of you but pressuring me to come out is wrong so you’ll never know!”

it’s like when that dumb ass song “girls” came out about wanting to kiss girls and all four women had to release statements about if they’re bi or not (most saying ambiguous shit like ‘i love hearts’ which doesn’t mean they’re not straight) and then crying about being forced to come out??? no??? you don’t get to release songs commodifying bisexuality and then live your life as a straight person.

either you actually were coming out with this song and feel ready to talk about it (don’t even have to label it, just fucking saying “i actually like girls”) or you aren’t fucking bi and it wasn’t your place in the first place!!!!

the fact that it REALLY does feel like straight celebs are using bisexuality (but only ever for one song, one event) to prove they’re not being problematic is heartbreaking because this is gonna validate so many people assuming actual bisexuals are faking it for attention. straight celebs don’t get to use us to be schrodinger’s bisexual who is One Of Us when convenient and straight for every other fucking moment of their life because they know actually being bi is hard.

In Moomin, children who are abused turn invisible. Ninny was abused by her former caretaker so much she lost her voice and faded away, so the Moomins take her in and slowly help her heal and regain her confidence through love and compassion. Tove Jansson wrote “Thank you for making me visible again” in Tuulikki Pietilä’s, her wife, copy of the novel
