Stay Safe. I Believe They Are Doing This In Both Sudan And Egypt

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972

Dear St@rco fans,

Stop taking media that is explicitly about same gender couples and applying them to your ship. I.e. Don’t make “In A Heartbeat” AUs for St@rco. Don’t make St@rco music videos to Studio Killers’ song “Jenny”. By using these things in your AUs for a het ship you are completely missing the point of them. They are specifically about LGBT+ people dealing with LGBT+ issues. In A Heartbeat is a short film about a young boy in love with another boy and his fear of being outed to his peers. Jenny is about a woman in love with her best female friend, and is also afraid to confess and out herself.

So unless you’re using Trans Girl Marco when you put St@rco into this AU, don’t do it at all.

Sincerely,

A lesbian who’s getting really tired of this shit happening over and over again

Protesting works: don’t let it die

Reminder to not give up, you are bringing about change.

List of positives to come out of the recent protests as of June 4:

- George Floyd’s murderer charged with murder and manslaughter, then had charges increased, then the officers that watched it happen were charged with aiding and abetting

- Louisville police (Breonna Taylor’s murderers) department will now be under review from an outside agency, which will include review on training, bias-free policing and accountability. (Unfortunately her killers have still not faced charges yet as far as I could find.)

- Charges are to be dropped for Kenneth Walker

- Atlanta has announced plans to create a task force + public database to track police brutality in metro Atlanta area

- Minneapolis city council members are considering disbanding police force in favor of a “community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity”

- Colorado lawmakers have introduced an incredible police reform bill that includes body cam laws, repealing the “fleeing felon” statute, banning chokeholds, and more

Feel free to add more if you know of more!

Hey just by the way Sorrowaria is a terf and you shouldn't interact with them!

PSA:

Can everyone please block and report chickensalad ? They are sliding into everyone’s asks as anonymous and harassing their ex. Not aligning with your racist ass doesn’t make them a terf and I hope you step on a rusty nail.

boy oh boy sure am glad that during this crisis I get to experience Capitalist Plenty

and not Socialist Deprivation

Does anyone know the difference between No and Pan? I thought bi was attraction to boys and girls, and Pan was boys/girls/non-binary
