Girls who date more masculine girls aren’t dating them because they secretly like boys. They don’t date “girls who look like boys.” They don’t want to be with boys. It’s not the same thing if they dated boys. Stop equating less feminine girls to being like boys. Stop forcing heterosexuality on lesbian couples.
No amount of great sex, great personality, great food, great looks or anything else will keep a man faithful if he doesn’t want to be.
reminder to all lesbians
lesbian is not a dirty word
lesbian is not a nsfw word
lesbians are not inherently sexual
lesbians are not pornographic
any sexual thoughts are feelings you have are good and okay and pure and lovely and not at all for male consumption
if you’re ace and sex repulsed you’re also good and okay and pure and lovely okay?
i love you all, you’re all lovely, you’re not dirty or bad i love you
A community and family is mourning the loss of Daniel Kevin Harris, whose life was taken this week by a State Trooper who apparently fears sign language. Harris, who is deaf and mute, was gunned down in front of his house.
“I was here in my driveway and I saw the highway patrol car come through and it was smoking really bad,” said neighbor Mark Barringer. “About 10 seconds later, I heard one gunshot.”
Harris was trying to communicate with the trooper using sign language before he was killed.
Harris died on the scene. He was 28-years-old.
Neighbor Ryan Russell said he’d see the man out in the neighborhood speaking in sign language with his family. “It seemed like a very peaceful family. These things are always heartbreaking.”
In the land of the free, a deaf man suspected of driving too fast can be killed in cold blood. Unfortunately, as we’ve shown time and again, this type of mistreatment and attacks on the deaf by police are all too common.

Please eat. I know its easy to skip meals and go hours without anything but please go and get something to eat. You deserve proper meals even if you haven’t exercised, even if they’re more calories than you can count, even if you had take out yesterday. Just eat.
stop looking for this romantic love. real love will come when you’re not looking this hard. it will happen. take a deep breath, step back, keep on living your life and being true to yourself. it will come. they will find you.
PSA:
You didn’t imagine your abuse. It happened. It hurt you. You didn’t make it up. No matter what your abuser tries to say or do to make you believe that it was all in your head. It happened. You survived.
concept: casual lgbt+ representation
a man taking off his shirt to reveal a binder underneath. he settles down, has a beer, watches tv. no tragic backstory about his transition, no negativity. just a trans dude being a trans dude.
a businesswoman talking on her cellphone while she stops by the pharmacy to pick up her estrogen.
people asking for pronouns without a second thought, using they/them even when the person isn’t in the room.
a woman getting hit on at a club, getting respectful responses when she says she’s ace.
two men holding hands, three women in a healthy polyamorous relationship. a pan man living with his nonbinary datefriend.
romcoms, sitcoms, slice-of-life stories.
not everyone is cishet; media should represent that.
Fat woman: *exists* Man #1: you are disgusting and unfuckable, therefore worthless Man #2: not so fast. she is not totally worthless. I would fuck her #bodyposi #feminism
This is glorious and even thought it doesn’t fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share
It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you’re in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don’t reply back when it checks your status, it’ll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.
It doesn’t require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn’t need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.
MORE INFORMATION
This is a little comic I made about the journey I went through in discovering that I’m ace and coming out. It’s drawn in the same simple style I used for my hourly comics, which is really only a step above thumbnails, but I wanted to go ahead and share it. At some point I plan to redraw it properly for my comic site and Tapastic account, and maybe even print it!
One thing about the comic’s timeline that I wanted to address… When I first came out as ace on social media last November, I actually did come out as demisexual. But since that time, I gained a greater understanding of both myself and the ace and aro spectrums, and realized that demiromantic ace was a much more accurate fit for me.
In the months that followed my coming out as ace on social media, I slowly began coming out to close family and friends in real life. I was worried about how the people closest to me would react, but it’s gone pretty well so far!
I made this comic to address the doubts, questions, and confusing aspects of myself that made it so hard to understand or explain how I felt before I found the ace community. I especially wanted to represent those who, like me, didn’t realize they were ace for years because they were misinformed or didn’t even know it was an option… who fall into the gray area of the ace spectrum or aren’t sure how to define their asexuality… who worry about whether they’re “ace enough” because they’re gray ace, sex favorable, or both. I hope this comic helps any fellow aces who feel like they can relate to it! :)
(And BTW… any flames from discoursers about my support for ace inclusion in the LGBTQIA+ community will be used to toast marshmallows and then deleted.) ;)
I haven’t seen anything on tumblr about Chris Mosier? He’s the first american transgender athlete in the olympics which is pretty momentous ya know?
Support bi kids in same gender relationships. Support bi kids in other gender relationships. Support bi kids who are out. Support bi kids who are in the closet. Support bi kids who have a stronger preference for one gender.
Support bi kids.
i’m concerned about boys with mental illnesses and eating disorders and abusive relationships and sexual assault survivor stories and self-harming tendencies who never get the attention or care or help they need because all of those things “don’t happen to men” or because “all men are horrible monsters” and i just wanna say if you’re a boy and you’re struggling with something hard, your gender doesn’t diminish or dismiss your struggles or make them any less significant or difficult and i love you and i’m here for you
@ bi girls: even if you’ve loved 100 men your love for just 1 woman is important and valid. whatever your relationship with men is and has been does not devalue or invalidate your feelings towards any woman. thanks and have a lovely day.
clothes have no gender
haircuts have no gender
video games have no gender
makeup has no gender
sometimes, people have no gender
don’t constrict yourself with labels and do what makes you happy.
i am so for boys wearing crop tops, wearing nail polish, and wearing makeup. do ya thang
it’s okay to love girls. it’s okay to love boys. it’s okay to love both. it’s okay to love neither. it’s okay to not know who you love yet. it’s okay. it’s okay. it’s okay. it’s okay. it’s okay.

When somebody comes out to you about their orientation, “I don’t care who you date/fuck/whatever” is the woooorst thing to say.
When I tell you I’m queer, I’m not purely telling you “oh, I am attracted to people regardless of gender”. I am also saying “hey, I grew up surrounded by homophobia that affected me” and “oh, I worry a lot about my rights being taken away” and even “oh, I’ve been subjected to harrassment and violence”.
I am telling you something about my whole life, not just my love life.
Hell, that even extends to if I follow it up with “I’m also asexual”. It doesn’t just mean “I don’t have sex”, it also means “I grew up without the expectation of a long term romantic relationship being likely for me”, and “My expectations for and the reality of my romantic life are very different and complicated”, and more. It’s the reason I have never dated anyone, and that is a part of my life beyond “doesn’t enjoy sex”!
Our orientations help position us in society whether we like it or not, they impact how we relate to ourselves and others, they impact our likely life experiences. I don’t care that you don’t care that I’d date girls boys and everyone else too, or that I don’t look for sex in a relationship. That’s not what I’m mentioning when I say I’m a queer ace.
straight women, if you really want to pride yourselves on being Great Allies, i implore you to consider the following:
stop using the term ‘girlfriend’ to refer to your lady friends. it’s confusing for us and makes it that much harder for our relationships to be taken seriously
stop joking that you and your best friend are Totally Lesbians. our relationships are not yours to make some cutesy little joke with your friends
yes, this totally includes using the 👭 emoji on pictures of you and your straight friends on instagram. why do you do that
stop using the term ‘girl/woman crush’
stop making out with your straight friends to get guys off
stop fetishizing our relationships
stop assuming that the one lesbian or bi girl you know at school is going to hit on you. chances are, they want absolutely nothing to do with you
and stop assuming it’d be the end of the world if she did
