I Call Emmett

Taika: it’s so awkward kissing and pretending to be in love with my good old pal, my bestie rhys

Also Taika: no one else is allowed to kiss him tho ✌😗[puts his whole waitussy into his performance and invents romantic love] 

I mean i quite like my brain, i’m really very fond of it i just think it’s a design failure that i can’t pop it out of the ole skull basket every night and plug it in to recharge. travesty really

Period Trackes - Clue

o in light of RvW being repealed, a lot of people have been worried about their period trackers being used against them. I’m not personally in the US so I’m not in danger on that front, but I do want to stand in support with those who are. But on the other hand, my tracker keeps track of my dates, meaning I’m not surprised when It’s Time anymore. It’s just very nice to know when I need to have my stuff on hand, yknow? And I’m not NT enough to do that on my own. So I asked them.

Hello Clue,

The SCOTUS recently repealed Roe v Wade, as I’m sure you know. Some US states have already started making abortions illegal. There is -well founded- concern over women being prosecuted over having “secretly had an abortion”, and data from period tracking apps being used to support these accusations. What is Clue doing to prevent users’ data from being used against them?

Sincerely,

(and then my name but I cropped that out for obvious reasons)

I think the Clue’s Response to Roe vs Wade is particularly relevant here (I’d tried to find it on their website, don’t know why I couldn’t before now). I am by literally every means not a lawyer, so I can’t tell if any of this is legal enough for people to feel safe using Clue. But. idk, maybe if you benefit from using a tracker, consider using this one.

Gentle reminder here that there are elder queers out there. Real elders, people in their 80s and 90s who survived, who are here. You can get there, old age does exist for us.

I know an old lesbian couple who have been married since the moment they legalized it. One woman can hardly walk anymore but she loves Hallmark ornaments, so her wife supports her against her walker during Christmas so she can look at them more easily.

I know a transgender man who started transitioning only 10 years ago at 60, and he's brilliant and funny and brings his grandchildren by to get sweets.

I know an asexual woman who, beamed and told me she absolutely loved not having a husband, and that she "never once regretted not getting married. I never felt that way about anybody! Why force it?" She lives with her parrot and loves salsa dancing.

Our elders exist. So many of us have been wiped out and erased on purpose, but we're here. And that means you can get there. When you're old and grey, when you're retired and done, there will be people who will love you and will care for you.

Yeah, it’s time for them to go
