astonishing how good it can feel to get some chores done sometimes. you’ll be sitting there like damn i am some type of horrid little smeagol like creature who should be crushed to death. but then you do some laundry and you’re like wrow. im actually gods most fuckable soldier.
Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
oh btw i was commissioned recently....
idk if you’ve already thought of this, but it might be helpful for you to start a tracking tag! a unique tag for your blog that people can tag their commission posts with, and then you can just go into the tag and reblog posts from there! it might be easier than getting messages and asks, or looking through general commission tags :3
(btw i love what you’re doing this blog is such a good idea!!! thank you for helping artists visibility! :’3)
that's a really good idea i should have considered something like that before!! though i'm not sure how well this can pick up across like, all artists on this website, but it'd be worth doing it anyway
me as a writer
Ways I’ve found Queer People show affection:
-🥺🥺🥺
-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-*incomprehensible list of emojis*
-SKSDJFHIWUEHFIUWHEIUHDSIUDHFIUSDHFUODH SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
-I would die for you
-*sends picture of rock* it’s you
-bitch I’ll fight you
-hey do you wanna feel REALLY gay? *sends picture of hot person*
-*sends gif of two animals hugging* it’s us
-*sends gif of two animals fighting* it’s us
-hey wanna hear something cursed? Too late you’re hearing it anyway
those LED headlights make me so angry because they just completely obscure my vision and for no reason at allll. not a SINGLE PERSON needs that sort of light coming from their cadillac escalade ESPECIALLY on a pitch dark road like ARE YOU KIDDING? if there’s a turn coming up on a dark road and you’re opposite me with those headlights we’re both dead
the way ppl have designated cuddling as a purely romantic thing and is weird outside of that context has done widespread damage to our pack animal nature
Can you tell me it'll be okay? And mean it?
Yeah. It feels like shit now and there's a lot to worry about, but there was a lot to worry about last month and four years ago and eight years ago and twelve years ago and sixteen and twenty and twenty four and twenty eight and on and on and on.
Continue to work locally, continue to help people, continue to speak up for what is right and protest what is wrong.
We all should be breaking unjust laws and taking care of one another because you don't survive things like this by being isolated and alone, you survive things like this by building networks and creating parallel systems and growing tight bonds with the people in your community (either physically or digitally).
Plan on helping someone get an abortion. Plan on lying to ICE. Plan on helping someone get hormones. Plan on defending an encampment. Plan on sharing information that is being hidden. Plan on potesting a pipeline or supporting forest defense. Plan on not crossing picket lines. Plan on helping your friends get their meds.
The US Federal Government sucks shit and is not here to help. But there are millions of people who want to help each other, and those are the people you should be focusing your energy on.
It's going to be hard, but it was always going to be hard. I believe in my community, I believe in the networks I've built, I believe in the ability of small groups to make change and I believe in you.
Don't panic about what's on the horizon, do something *today* that will make someone else's life better tomorrow and it will feel less like the world is falling down.
the queer community was formed by people who were deemed strange and abnormal in society based on them not conforming to expectations about sexuality & gender. there are no specific boundaries bc this isn't a club. a cishet guy that likes wearing dresses who fights side by side with us for true liberation, is 100x more queer than a millionaire gay man who's besties with companies that sell us watered down versions of our own culture for profit during pride while donating to homophobic lawmakers every other month.
