kink at pride is easy af to explain to kids, idk what yall are talking about. "mommy, why is that mostly-naked man wearing leather?" because lots of gay men think it looks nice. "why is that guy on a leash with a mask?" hes playing pretend. "why does she have a whip?" she thinks its fun. you know how you like to play with water guns? its like that but only for grown-ups, and she wont play with anyone who doesnt want to play with her so we're all totally safe
if your 6yo's next question is "is that a sex thing?", thats fucking wild and a completely different problem. for you. not really an "Us Problem" collectively for all pride-goers, tbh. something's going on there thats hard to call the dominatrix's fault
homophobes think that being gay is already a weird sex thing thats hard to explain to kids. did yall forget that already? why are you trying to play respectability politics for people who will never respect you?
entering my ethel cain era ??
Things that are easy to miss in Dragon Age: Origins, I guess:
- If you talk to the soldier guarding the tower of Ishal, he tells you they found tunnels under it, so they should already know it’s compromised.
- If you exhaust all dialogue with the head templar of the Lothering chantry, he’ll tell you about the right of annulment being sent for (at least if you’re a mage).
- If you reject Leliana and talk to the barkeep, he tells you a bit more about her.
- Honorable mention to the people who completely miss Leliana bc they never go in the tavern.
- The Orzammar Palace Dragon.
- The full Blackstone Irregular and Favours for Certain Interested Parties quest lines, which I missed my first couple play-throughs.
- You can extend the quick bar by dragging it.
Feel free to add your own to the list.
This pride and all year long, I want to give a shout out to us fat queer people
To fat queer people who never get to see representation of themselves because the vast majority of queer representation is of thin people
To fat queer people who have to put ten times the effort into their gender expression just to be viewed as 10% of their gender
To fat queer people who get misgendered no matter how they look
To fat queer people who can never present how they want to anyway because affirming clothes in their size are either nonexistent, triple the price, or terrible quality
To fat asexuals who are believed even less about their identity because they're told it's just a matter of "no one wanting to have sex with them"
To fat aromantics who aren't respected because their aromanticism is viewed as "No one loved you anyway"
To fat gay people who have their identities denied because "You just couldn't find a man/woman who wanted you"
To fat nonbinary people whose bodies are viewed in the queer community as inherently gendered and incapable of being androgynous
To fat binary trans people who are always viewed as whatever gender hurts them most
To fat trans people who are denied surgeries due to medical fatphobia, have difficulty finding products like binders in their size, are told that thinness is a must to "pass" as their gender, and have their bodies weaponized by terfs
To fat queer people who are viewed as "cringe" for the crime of existing as fat and queer
To fat queer people who can't even buy pride merchandise without having to worry if their size will be offered and then have to pay more than thin queer people just to show their queer pride
To fat queer people who developed eating disorders due to the fatphobia peddled by their own communities
To fat queer people whose identities are partially influenced or entirely caused by the fatphobia they have experienced for years and decades
To fat queer people who are forced by fellow queer people into sexual positions they're uncomfortable with, such as topping, just because they're bigger and have stereotypes forced onto their body
To fat queer people who joined a relationship and experienced sexual trauma because their partner only wanted to humiliate a fat person and ignore your boundaries
To fat queer people who only see themselves in queer porn as a tool for the humiliation of thin queer people who dared to have sex with a fat person or never see your body in sexual content at all
To fat femmes who are viewed as butch no matter what they do because their fatness is gendered against their will
To fat butches who don't feel able to experiment with femininity if they want to
To fat queer people who have an even harder time finding a partner in the queer community because of rampant fatphobia
To fat queer people who have had to hear "No fats, no femmes"
To fat queer people who are constantly told they're not "truly oppressed" because they "don't have it as bad as [X queer identity]"
To fat intersex people who have to deal with strangers believing they're an expert on your body because fat people can't have knowledge about how their own bodies work
To fat queer people who can't even trust that other queer people fighting for equality won't use fat bodies as symbolism for immoral behaviors and beliefs
To fat queer people who can't rely on doctors who accept queer identities to not still discriminate against them because of medical fatphobia
To fat queer people who don't believe they can be loved without being fetishized
To fat queer people whose queer identities are viewed even more as a fetish because their bodies are viewed as a fetish
To fat queer people who took way longer to realize they're queer because they never saw any queer representation that included them
And to so, so, so many other fat people with experiences of fatphobia in the queer community
You all belong. You are the identities you say you are. You do not make the queer community "look bad" just because fatphobes want to use our bodies as weapons for fatphobia and queerphobia. You deserve to be respected and have representation. You deserve to not be treated as an afterthought.
We are queer, and our experiences matter.
“ To fat femmes who are viewed as butch no matter what they do because their fatness is gendered against their will “
I have been in a ballgown and opera gloves and curled my hair and pink makeup on the full 9 as fem as I could ever get. I was still asked to be ‘the man/lead’ when going to the event.
I fucking feel this so bad. I'm so sorry. You are not less femme than a thin person no matter what shit people say to you, and I promise you that

Does anyone have an update on where things are at with the writers strike? It's disappeared from my various feeds and algorithms.
The writers' strike is ongoing and the studios are still not returning to the negotiating table. Unfortunately a lot of the coverage has tapered off because we're on 50+ days of striking and it's not new anymore. The last strike in 2007 lasted 100 days, so don't be surprised if this strike lasts as long, or even longer.
The biggest recent news is that the Directors' Guild of America (DGA) voted to ratify their new agreement with the studios (article from June 23), and it appears likely that the actors' guild (SAG-AFTRA) will also take a deal instead of striking (article from June 24). Although this is disappointing news, it's completely expected. During previous strikes, the WGA held its own without other unions going on strike. Which is to say—don't be disheartened by the news that there won't be a triple strike. The WGA is strong enough!
Please keep vocally supporting the WGA online to keep the pressure on the studios & to keep WGA members motivated and encouraged! There are many ongoing donation drives, such as the Star Trek fan snack squad (Twitter account required to DM the organizer) and the Our Flag Means Death snack squad (opens the PayPal fundraising page—no Twitter required). There's a longer list of ongoing donation drives here.
The Entertainment Community Fund is also always accepting donations to support entertainment workers affected by the strike. Please boost and encourage your friends to keep supporting the strike. Hashtag #IStandWithTheWGA #DoTheWriteThing to boost the cause!
Hi, WGA strike captain here, and I just want to say that the other unions taking contracts is NOT disappointing news. I feel like a lot of people are forgetting that the point of this isn’t to take a strike, it’s to get a good deal.
DGA, we can quibble over whether it’s a good deal or not. (I personally think everyone got too excited about a triple strike summer and forgot that the DGA was simply never going to strike)
But SAG-AFTRA? They got an absolutely killer strike authorization vote. They walked into negotiations with a loaded gun. That plus the fact that with everything shut down most actors aren’t working right now anyway, their leadership is incentivized to hold out for a deal with everything they want in it. Many of those demands overlap with ours, especially concerns about AI, which SAG membership is VERY fired up about.
If SAG gets a great deal with everything they want, then that’s GOOD for us. If the AMPTP were still fucking with them the way they fucked with us, “rejected our offer, refused to counter,” then that means the AMPTP isn’t feeling the pain of strike and doesn’t care how long this strike goes and is happy to stonewall indefinitely. But if they’re giving into the actors? Fuckkkk they’re hurting and this means they might actually come back to the table with us and negotiate in good faith finally. And if SAG gets strong language about AI, you bet your ass we’re going to argue for the same thing.
The DGA built on the writers strike to get a better deal. SAG is hopefully building on the writers strike and what DGA got to get an even better deal. And we’re hopefully going to build on our strike and what DGA and SAG got to get an even better deal. We’re all working together!
The point is not to strike, the point is to get a good deal. I think SAG will, and in my opinion that’s a massive win for us.
theres something about the fact that us trans men are counted as women when we're dead or statistics and forced to misgender and erase ourselves to recieve health care for parts we have or when we need help when the world makes us dead or statistics but when we try to say anything about it we're told this is apparently a privilege and we should shut the fuck up about it - or worse that we're predators for needing these resources that remove our manhood from us in order to be accessed
great episode
Not to be weird on main but my latest headcanon is that while Mulder is currently being a stay at home dad he has decided to write a series of children's books, one of which is titled The Flukeman and Me.
Other possible additions to his book series:
The Mothman Got My Leg, Jersey Devil is That You?, The Jenn That Gave Me Three Wishes, and Oh No! The Green Gooky Cave!
