Pike's bruised left tit

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

does that character “radiate heterosexuality” or do you just not like them. do they really not read as queer to you or do you just not like them. are you sure they’re straight. or do you just not like them.

i do think saying that a character a lot of people read as queer is straight and can only be straight just because you, personally, don’t like the character is homophobic. i do think that if you butt into a conversation and start equating them being uninteresting or boring or evil or ugly to you with them not being allowed to be queer is homophobic. that’s really fucking weird. stop doing that.

why do you think queerness needs to be earned. why do you equate queerness with morality or attractiveness or your personal investment in this character. even if you think the correlation is positive, you’re still saying that if someone doesn’t meet this standard you’ve set, then it’s okay for you not to see them as queer. i do not trust you if you assume people you don’t like are straight or cis. why are you assigning value judgements on people’s identities.

in light of billie eilish’s “hot take” about veganism, I’d just like to say I am so sick and tired of non-indigenous people using our communities and practices as an excuse, to hide behind their own shame when really they don’t give a shit about indigenous peoples. they don’t talk about us in any other aspect besides this one and it’s only to cover their own backs. indigenous communities that have to hunt for their own food for survival is very different than going into a supermarket and buying packaged meat. these communities have quotas, they use every part of the animal, and they are responsible for taking care of most of our ecosystem. any good, intersectional vegan knows this and understands that it would be very colonial of them to go into these spaces and try and change that. saying this, there are a lot of indigenous people who are vegans and they are largely ignored because it doesn’t fit their narrative of the “noble savage” which is also a racist view of indigenous people.
