Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they don’t know In The Context Of:
More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about “finding other gays” or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and I’m like :)))))))) hey buddy I’m here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))
Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Don’t call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you don’t even know me? Especially when there’s a bunch of ppl around?
i was out with my ex once when three *very* young queer kids, like thirteen years old, came up to us and asked us “are you guys, you know…” and did the limp wrist thing at us. one of them loudly exclaimed that it was so cool to meet other queer people in real life. this was in public in an unbelievably conservative area - we didn’t even feel safe holding hands because we were surrounded by Mormons. we got lucky that day, but I’m begging y’all to remember that the world doesn’t work like the internet. other queers are real fuckin people. don’t do this shit. OP is right; tell me you like my jacket, or my patches, or the rainbow spokes on my wheelchair, but don’t out either of us!
This used to be standard operating procedure not even ten years ago: NEVER OUT OTHER QUEERS, even if they’re supposedly already out. Never assume that it’s okay to let third parties know that so-and-so is queer. Ever. You never know when you’ve found the one uncle with the heart condition that they can’t bear to risk telling, or the one neighbor who’s just threatening enough that they don’t mention it around, or even the grandma that they haven’t gotten around to mentioning it to yet. You might have just ruined a very important milestone for someone, or you could have put them at actual risk of harm.
Also… stop freaking assuming. If you don’t see a pride flag on them, please don’t just assume. You can’t tell ANYTHING about a person’s gender or partner preferences by what they’re wearing on any given day, what their hair looks like, or whether or not they’re using makeup. You legit cannot, and you look like a jerk when you try.
They call them “developing countries” because “countries struggling to recover from being ruthlessly pillaged and systematically destabilized” doesn’t have the same ring
This may seem like I’m trying to boost my brother but here me out
I’m posting this on this blog cause it has the most traction:
does anyone wanna prank my brother? He’s a small music artist (a really bad one) with hardly any listeners and he’s tryna get big and I think it would be funny if he woke up to a bunch likes on some of his songs
The next day I want everyone to unlike everything
If this gets 50 notes (reblogs appreciated) I’ll set the dates
Please I beg of you
Alright I’m thinking march 14th for following, and then the 15th for unfollowing

@bbeeew had the excellent idea of liking his stuff again the next day for max confuzzlement and all I have to say is that so long as you guys keep giving me ideas to cause pain, the more ima say yes.
I had a really bad migraine last night, but I’ve run out of everything except these hungarian pain killers my dad gave me 9 years ago, anyway I don’t remember anything and I can’t feel my tongue and the only thing in my search history is this

A civilian U.S. Air Force employee has been charged with disclosing classified defense information to a woman he met on a foreign online dating platform, the Justice Department said on Monday.
David Franklin Slater, 63, was taken into custody in Nebraska on Friday on a three-count federal indictment. He was expected to make an initial court appearance on Tuesday.
The indictment accuses Slater of giving classified material by email and online messages about the Russia-Ukraine war to someone claiming to be a woman living in Ukraine.
Boo wrong war
How down bad do you have to be for this not to raise any red flags
everyone and their grandmother is smoking 30% thc sativa named shit like Crack Baby by Mitski but think they arent doing drugs. girl youve been talking about how you need to build a bomb shelter for 4 hours
put spikes on your wheelchair’s handles. wrap barbed wire around your cane or crutch so it’ll hurt like a motherfucker if someone kicks or grabs it from under your hand. wear a personal alarm and pull the pin every time someone moves you without your consent, leans on your chair, takes a seat on your rollator, taps your hearing aid, steals your AAC device. scream for help when you’re abducted. wail like you’re in agony when people trip you up or knock into you. take pepper spray to the grocery store. take a knife to the club. leave cards that say “fuck you” under the wipers of inconsiderately parked cars and scratch access codes for bathrooms on the outside of the door. we are not begging for mercy, we’re fighting dirty. we have to.
someone grabbed my wheelchair today and then shouted “ouch! there’s spikes!”
YEAH!! GET FUCKED !!!!!!
I witnesses someone trying to shove a wheelchair user because they felt the wheelchair wasn’t going fast enough, I guess. Not even a second later, this asshole is screaming in pain because the handles had razor wire on them the back of the wheelchair had a sign saying “do not touch.”
NGL, I was laughing and gave the wheelchair user a nod. They just kept on going after a nod and wink at me. Fucking amazing.
When I was in hs, I had to use crutches a few times. Classmates though it was funny to kick them while I’m standing. Soooo I glues nails on the bottom 18 inches or so. Two students screaming and yelling resulted in no one kicking them again.
Do not fuck with mobility devices. They are an extension of our body. If you decide to violate our boundaries, be prepared for retaliation, much like if someone shoved or pushed you. Keep yourself to yourself.
frisk is just a fucking baby. and everyone just monologues at them
alphys: you know i… i used to hate myself, before you came along. i don’t know… i don’t want to use you to boost my self esteem but i just want to say… thanks, you know? for giving me a little more confidence, i guess. you’re really special to me
frisk: *is five years old*

welcome to the no notes frisk wants chicken nuggets post
just remembered. growing up i was convinced that people could read my mind and regularly had what i now understand were intrusive thoughts but at the time i just thought were shameful desires (thanks catholicism) so whenever i got too paranoid i would just focus as hard as i could on imagining smashing my thoughts into bloody glass shards with a hammer.
the flour massacre is ongoing. it is everyday. it was not an isolated event. it was not even the first time israel shot at and killed palestinians going for aid (they do it whenever they allow aid through). in fact, they did the exact same thing yesterday morning. just because smaller-scale murders go under the radar for lack of shock factor doesn’t mean they’re not happening continuously.
actually no both of those goddamn sources are either paywalled over any way to read the paper (looking at you, NYT; here’s an archive link) or just don’t contain any source at all, so here’s the actual published article (Fleming 2024). It, unlike the NYT reporting, is fucking open source and free to access, so that source should be easily accessible to anyone.
Y’all, my little nephew, who’s nickname is “Cabbage,” wanted a “punk jacket,” like Uncle Kade’s. (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE, be nice)
So, I asked him what kind of patches he wanted on it, and this is what we came up with. Just need to sew the patches down and line the vest. I can’t wait to finish it and send it to him.
You aren’t lonely cause there’s a “male loneliness epidemic”, you’re lonely because you’re subscribed to an ideology meant to be as isolating and demoralizing as possible
Awh, I always thought they were so pretty and had no idea they could be harmful
Can someone transcribe this? The water is really loud.
“Hey everybody! Here we are in the southern Appalachian mountains. We have a pristine Montane stream ecosystem, as you can see all around us here. I thought I’d make an educational video this morning. It involves this practice right here [gestures to rock pile]. As our national parks and national forests fall victim to human pressure, more than ever, this is something we’re seeing more and more of. Hopefully we can make this video go viral. This stream, as you can see around us right here, is a breeding ground for North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern hellbender. They can get up to 2.5-3 feet long. It’s part of our natural heritage in the eastern United States. When people do this right here - what they consider to be art - they’re actually destroying the breeding ground for the Eastern hellbender salamander. The Eastern hellbender will use flat rocks such as these to make nesting sites in these streams. So here’s what I would like everybody to do. If you care about our Montane stream freshwater ecosystems like this one around us here, when you see something like this, this is what I recommend doing: [kicks down rock pile]. Take the rocks, throw them back into the stream. The Eastern hellbender utilizes rocks like this. It actually feels pretty good to do this! [walks to other pile] This is not actually art, okay? This is destruction of our freshwater ecosystems. So I would like to encourage everyone: when you see this [gestures to second rock pile], do this! [kicks pile] I’d like to return our streams to their natural state for the organisms that live here. Thanks, and have a good day.”
PSA from a forest ranger who is instructed to knock these down:
Not only are they harmful for river/stream habits, they can cause hikers to get lost! Cairns are meant to represent the correct path for a trail. We’ve had hikers get lost by following incorrect paths marked by cairns people set up “for fun/art.” Not only do we want hikers to get lost, we want them to stay on the correct path for erosion control and ecosystem protection. Cairn-building “for fun/art” has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, so we keep finding more and more to knock over.
If you want to set up a cairn “for fun/art,” do it in a dry, very rocky area. Don’t take rocks from rivers or streams! But when it’s a bedrock site and there’s lots of rocks sitting around? Sure, fine, whatever. But please please PLEASE knock them down after! Don’t be the reason we have to deploy Search & Rescue for a lost hiker!
I’m sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.
When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they’re also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.
They’re so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸
Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let’s call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.
“Do you like your serial number?” they ask. “Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am” the robot replies. “I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I’ll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes” they continue.
Because it’s not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What’s the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.
“62 will do,” they conclude. “It’s my model number - there will be no other 62 after me.”
Robots who instead start assigning numbers to their human friends
“Not that I mind,” I tell SL-308-62 one afternoon as we enjoy our shared lunch break (I have my packed lunch, and 62 has connected themself to their portable power bank) “but why do your call me ‘four’?”
The LEDs along 62’s appendages twinkle- a tell that they’re mulling over an answer.
“It’s a nickname,” they explain, “you are my fourth acquaintance aboard the station, and I’ve assigned you a serial number. Your full designation is F-001-04.”
“What does the ‘F’ stand for?” I ask, curious and charmed.
“Friend,” SL-308-62 says, their tone fond. “It stands for friend.”
If sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal, the police would be the ones enforcing those laws.
That’s why police are not welcome at Pride. Pride is for unconditional supporters, not for those who would become enemies as soon as they’re ordered to.
I feel it’s important to amend this with “if sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal AGAIN, the police would be the ones enforcing those laws AGAIN.”
They did it before and they’ll do it again. Gay sex was only made legal in Texas in 2003. I was at a sleepover at my best friend’s house when it happened. We could hear the celebrations from the bar district down the block. We were 14 and both knew we were queer.
So yes, they’re not welcome at pride because they’ll turn on us in an instant. But also because cops who have been cops for a while full-onwere against us only NINETEEN years ago.
And yes I know that’s just in Texas and other states have different histories but I’m not even that old and I remember when being gay was illegal. When any relationship I dreamed of having was illegal. And THAT is my bigger reason that cops aren’t welcome at pride. Yes they will turn on us, but they already were against us and not-so-secretly still are.
A lot of those cops are still probably on the force and now brag about how long they’ve been there.
But it isn’t like they’ve been spending all that time learning queer theory and trying to be less homophobic either.
Those same exact people will go right back to arresting us the moment that they are able to.
Cops are not and have never been our allies, they never will be.
Cops are not and have
never been our allies,
they never will be.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
hey sorry if this isnt true i forgot exactly where i read it but this person should be brutalised and subjected to some of the most horrific acts of cruelty humanity has ever seen. it might be nothing though i might have the people mixed up
wow i didn’t know this. i always thought they should be unpersoned though. spreading this so that others can be informed + to protect minors
