trans women don’t have to be pretty to deserve your respect

It sucks that this is such a revolutionary concept but oh boy am I glad someone said it

reminder that "allies welcome" was once secret code for "those not out yet can still participate without putting themselves at risk", and for those who aren't out yet to comfortably exist in these spaces you have to let allies exist in those spaces too.

this is also important for queer people who don't know anyone else there. let them bring their friend, even if the friend is cishet. many would rather not go at all, rather than go somewhere alone.

It is always better to let respectful cishets into our spaces than to try and police who is queer enough to be allowed.

ancient roman women whose husband keeps looking at the neighbour's boy quintus and he never looks at her that way and she can't even chainsmoke in the kitchen because they don't have marlboro blues in ancient times. and she can't even go to the club because they haven't discovered drum and bass music yet. her friend clodia's having visions of a woman named doechii but neither of them knows what that means

Tbh she and clodia were probably eating cannabis laced cakes, drinking wine and acting as each other's tribads under the guise of female friendship while someone laid it down on the hydraulis

explaining the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to a tudor era peasant and when i'm finished they grab my hand and start excitedly gesturing at a poster advertising a performance of shakespeare's hamlet at the globe theatre

[ID: tag: #this ‘blorbo’ doth please me greatly! Hast though seen the bard’s macbeth? For though lady macbeth did so much wrong she didn’t in my heart <3 /end ID]

Everyone say thank you sanitation workers we owe you our lives sanitation workers

In folk music men are always dying in industrial accidents and women are always haunting stuff. What if a woman dies in an industrial accident and a man walks these hills in a long black veil. What then

Honestly they'd both die less without the long veils. Those are workplace hazards
