Troubled Crows #6

Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all

So how about we make this more interesting?

Us:

When I made this post, it was supposed to be a joke

I mean, none of my posts ever get more than 20 notes if I'm lucky, so what are the odds of one reaching 666k? Impossible, haha

But then, something happened, something I didn't expect

People actually began to... like it? And... reblog? And comment?

Before I knew it, my notifications were swarmed with comments after comments after reblogs after comments all on this one post

Then, still in the mindset of this being a joke, I realised I'd made the goal too easy, so I upped the stakes

But... the notes just got more frequent from there

And it started to hit me just what was happening

For a while, I was overwhelmed with a feeling

A feeling I wasn't used to

It was like... all of a sudden... I mattered...

My existance was actually noteworthy

People actually... cared?

It wasn't a game anymore, it was a race to assure a stranger on the Internet that they were actually worth something

Hundreds of people all gathering in one online place to help out

Leaving messages and well wishes

Making me smile

Making me laugh

Funny comments

Jokes

Fun facts

Even simple comments

It all suddenly felt so real

This was never a joke to you

This was important

And I won't let any of that go in vain

So... stay tuned I suppose

I'll look after myself, and I'll post proof of it too

I'll catalogue every time I put my health first

Physical and mental

I'll acknowledge my bad days and celebrate my good days

But most of all

I won't forget this

Any of this

Ever

Pronouns don't equal gender

Neopronouns have been around for CENTURIES

Non-binary genders have been around for CENTURIES and Bipoc cultures used to honor queer ppl before the spread of eurocentric standard

If you are a queer person who tries to exclude ppl who: use pronouns that you don't think matches their gender identity, Bipoc/neurodivergent/disabled queers, you push the binary onto the NON-binary, and you refuse to use ppls neos

Actually no. Yes, the population would go down but not go extinct. Cishet society is so fucking obsessed with people not having kids, as if there are only 1,000 humans left on the planet, when in fact overpopulation is a problem that wouldn't exist if everyone was queer.

Now to the biggest reason as to why this statement is false. Bisexuals,pansexuals, trans people exist. They have and can end up with people of the opposite gender and have children. Second of all, donating sperm is still a thing, like HELLOOO?? There isn't one set way to have children.

Homophobes are so stuck in their cishet ways that they can't even see the obvious.
