"we Need Weirder Queers" You Guys Couldnt Even Handle Asexual People In 2016 (and Probably Still Cant

guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.

and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.

arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.

never use the phrase "let that sink in" in front of sans undertale. he will be like "ok" and open the nearest door and there WILL be a sink and he WILL let it in

oh absolutely. alternatively, he'll just start sinking into the floor

need people to see this i feel insane

something something date me, something something 7 evil insecurities, hit post

“rent lowering gunshots” this, “we can’t let them know we like it here” that, i think everyone is just having fun posting cringe

Ok so I haven’t watched the new hbomberguy video nor have I been involved in much of the discourse that was discussed but I feel like there’s something that needs to be said.

James Somerton saying that AIDS is the reason there are only boring gay people?

That’s so fucked up

Not only does he mitigate the traumatic impact that the HIV/AIDS epidemic had on the queer community and the political ostracization/demonization that resulted from it

He’s also just feeding into the stereotype that queer identity revolves around sex and sex alone. That we can’t have families, can’t have happy lives, can’t exist without inherently being sexual. And that’s what the right wing feeds off of to make the propaganda that is the reason why so many of us fear losing our basic human rights

And I get it that wasn’t the point of the video

The point of the video was to prove how plagiarism can be subtle and hurtful and erase people who should be uplifted

But I also feel like this needs to be said

ok so I like ordered this rlly cool yellow notebook and basically I'm gonna journal about bees in it and wanna know if u guys would want me to post pictures of it here
