Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

the stats show that 1/2 of queer shows ended this year, a rate 2x higher than other shows!

lgbt community: thats obviously a lesbian couple. even though they never had the language or safety to express their sexuality, you can obviously read between the lines and understand that from the context of their recorded lives they were in a lesbian relationship

historians: this woman disguised herself as a man and lived as a man her entire life until she was discovered to be a woman after someone went against her wishes to be buried in her bedclothes and to not have her body examined and discovered that she was a woman. in her life, she was married to another woman, who claimed their relationship was like any other relationship between a man and a woman, and even when her late partner was outed as a woman, she insisted that she was not a lesbian and that they were a heterosexual couple

like, cool in the internet sense. because i have compiled all the data and i was right: queer shows are getting canceled twice as often. and earlier, too. we lost HALF of them this year!

i have all the data in a carrd (there's SO MUCH data) and it's kind of shaking out to be like. a legit thesis.

so even if your fave show is returning or finished already, it's still important to know this is going on in our current cultural landscape. and while LGBTQ book bans rise and our rights take hits, we need those messages that queer people deserve to be seen and loved.

i talked with a friend who organizes, and we're gonna make it a cross-fandom hashtag going live on Dec 16. 🥰

if you want to participate, reach out to me via message! anyone is welcome to join in.

even if your fandom is safe, even if you don't have a ton of followers. the goal is to get attention - not just for current rep, but for canceled shows too. it'll be a great opportunity to share why your fave matters to you, too.

stay silly ✌️
