ACT UP, 1990

Reminder: you can always just stop hating and being an asshole. You'll probably even feel better about yourself.

it’s just this recent wave of “all sexual expression is good even the problematic ones!” is crazy to me like we used to be mad about the song Blurred Lines and call it blatant expression of misogyny and rape apologia, even though it’s art. like i think it’s fine to call shallow misogynist art shallow and misogynist and i think it’s fine to deplatform it

Sylvia Plath

John Brosio - Dinosaurs Eating a CEO (2013)

Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording—all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night

“Anything less than HEALTHCARE FOR ALL is socioeconomic eugenics.”

In other horrifying news, the Supreme Court will be hearing a case to decide if conversion therapy will be allowed to be used on queer and trans individuals, including minors.

The case comes from Colorado, from Christian therapist who states that the ban on conversion therapy restricts free speech.

The case will not be heard until late 2025, but this is one of those times to spread the word that this is happening now.

As always, remember to protect our queer and trans community members. They need more support now more than ever.

Edit: I made a more detailed post with some more info about the case if anyone is interested
