In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.

Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.

And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.

before I knew what aromantic was I just kinda. Generally assumed that my experience of not having any romantic attraction to people would mean that in the future, when someone fell in love with me, then I'd just Go Along With It because I mean, hey if they love me and I don't love ANYBODY then it would be rude not to like, NOT date them, right?

I was not the most well adjusted 13 year old, as evidenced by this thought process

Leaked footage from 8x01

god this scene i haven’t written would be so emotional if it came with 50k words of context i also haven’t written

why must I work for money? is it not enough to sit quietly in my pajamas, writing fic, deranged ?

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

I know I’m a few months late to Dead Boy Detectives because it came out in April, but from what I’ve seen, there’s been little to no speculation about the actors (specifically George and Jayden’s) sexualities. Which is nice. I mean, it’s terrible that we had to learn the hard way with Kit Connor but at least people have learned

I got angry about the MCU again (hence the repost spiral)

Boycott them bitches 😌

Me vs my goal to write 100 words a day for my dissertation.

Day one: 0

Day two: 0

Day three: nearly 500 words in less than 30 minutes

I meaaaaan task failed successfully?

rewatching the hobbit trilogy after lotr rewatch and I cannot explain how much I love Bilbo Baggins he is one of my favorite characters of all time and his characterization and performance in the movies is the main reason i have any sort of fondness for them in hindsight.

the amount of which i love bilbo is only matched by how badly i would beat that racist rat martin freeman with a baseball bat in the streets ON SIGHT
