Little-alienated - Local Cryptid

In 1980 the bones of a bird with a wingspan of twenty-five feet were found in Central Argentina. It has been named the “Magnificent Argentine Bird” (Argentavis Magnificens). It is estimated to be about eight million years old. This species is the largest flying bird ever discovered. 

Kenneth E. Campbell, (one of the discoverers), stands in front of a silhouette of the “Magnificent Argentine Bird.” And yes, this is to scale. It is on display at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles.

consent doesn’t only apply to sexual touching.

you’re allowed to tell people not to hug you, not to hold your hand, not to kiss your cheek, not to play with your hair, not to put their hands on you in any way without your permission. you’re allowed to be uncomfortable with these kinds of touching, to tell people that, and to have those boundaries respected. just because a touch isn’t sexual doesn’t mean that you’re not allowed to have a problem with it.

you’re allowed to create boundaries about what happens with your body and what other people do with it, regardless of those people’s motivations or their relationship to you. it isn’t only sexual touching people need your consent for and it isn’t only sexual touching that you’re allowed to revoke your consent for. people should not be touching you when you don’t want them to no matter what kind of touching it is.

I am so glad that the word blorbos exists now. It’s so much more evocative and accurate than “comfort character”. Like, they’re different things. He doesn’t bring me comfort, he makes my hands itchy and I want to polish him with pledge. I want to put him in a Pringles tube and shake him. I want to brush his hair and put little shoes on him like a Bratz doll. That’s a blorbo.

The LGBT+ is not a club. You can’t purchase or be allowed access. There is no stamp you have to get to be able to get in the door. Its not even one single community.

The LGBT+ is an ALLYSHIP. Its a coalition of a lot of smaller communities who found a common enemy and recognized their forces were more beneficial when put together, and that no matter differences in experience, they were all unified against the same enemy.

Every letter added to the acronym stands for another group fighting back, arm in arm. Not someone joining the cool kid club.

And you as individuals do not have the right to veto allyship just because you can’t personally understand the reasons why a group is fighting your shared adversary. You as smaller groups don’t have the power to deny allyship to any given group when the larger groups are holding their hands and standing side by side.

Grow up and stop behaving like toddlers who had to share toys with a kid they don’t like. Get over yourselves. Get over your bigotry. See the bigger picture.

Care about the groups you’re affecting. Care about the actual necessity of the LGBT+, the main goal, and the realities faced by the smaller communities more than you do about keeping your ideological concept of the community “"pure.”“

Stop looking at the LGBT+ like some treehouse that you own and get to decide who gets entrance to. The LGBT+ are so many communities, all working together, and you don’t get to decide for all of them who they want to align with, who they want to help and share experiences with, who they want to identify with, who they overlap with, who they share resources with. You speak for yourselves and that’s it.
