Yes! There is nothing wrong with phases, or taking time to find the terms that fit you, or changing your orientation. My understanding of myself has changed over time.
instead of assuring everyone that it “isn’t a phase”, why don’t we just assure everyone that if it is a phase it’s fine? it’s healthy to figure yourself out? because if we tell everyone it’s not a phase and it ends up being a phase, those people are going to feel guilty, like they stole resources or wasted time. It’s not bad to ‘go through a phase’. It’s a healthy way of finding out who you are. And if it isn’t a phase, that’s fine too. But if it is, there’s no reason to feel bad.
Pride bees! They're so cute!!
I have no idea if anyone feels the need for more pride flag colored bees, but here is a few more.
UPDATE: i guess there was a need so MORE BEES.
If you have shared a post with Spanish advice on what to do if ICE agents come to a person’s home, please check the Spanish advice carefully or have someone who can read Spanish check it for you! Some posts designed to look like ones from the ACLU have bad advice that basically encourages people to give up their rights. I’m disgusted that people would do this deliberately and heart-broken that others are unwittingly sharing this false information.
Please confirm that information you share is correct! (English information in the picture on the right in the initial post from vaspider and Spanish translation by funkylittlegoblin)
Okay, friends, I need some help.
A friend of mine saw a friend who does not speak Spanish circulating these two memes, trying to be helpful. Here’s the problem - the advice in Spanish DOES NOT MATCH the English AT ALL. In Spanish, the people are advised to invite ICE in, be honest and calm, and to instruct all family members to tell the truth. At the end, they are told their cooperation is appreciated. They are not advised of their rights, to request a warrant. The advice amounts to giving themselves up.
If you look closely at the bottom, you’ll see that the English version is from the ACLU. The Spanish version says “ALCU”.
Be aware of the information you share - it may not be helpful!
THAT SAID, the help I request is this:
I do not speak enough Spanish to translate the above into Spanish. I would like to give her the Spanish translation of this message to add to her post. (And this one.)
Help?
Woo-hoo! Whoever you are, you deserve to feel bold, rebellious, and happy!
On Shopping While Fat 2: Son of Fat
Are there any poly people who don’t think there should be more healthy polyamorous representation??
[swoon!] It’s so cute -- that smug smile, those adorable little fangs!
Just a little self-indulgent doodle of a cuddly ace-colored critter. I so rarely do stuff that’s just fun for me, so hey, why not! I hope that all you aces out there have had a good Pride Month!
I’m quite sure that the handful of people who follow me already know this, but please help spread the word!
this is your yearly reminder that animals are not toys. they are a huge commitment. even small pets like hamsters and fish can be expensive and require a lot of work. if you’re planning to get someone a pet as a gift this holiday season, please only do so if you’re 100% sure that they are willing and able to take responsibility for the well-being of a living thing, potentially for years or even decades.

Vote to queer the narrative. Vote out of spite. Vote like your life depends on it, because that's true for some of us.
Hey, everyone! You want to pull the ultimate prank against the Republican party? I mean this would be EPIC!
On November 5, 2024, all 50 million US citizens between 18 and 30 need to take to the streets and demonstrate against the erosion of civil rights for women, BIPOC, disabled, LBGTIAA+, and transgendered people. Take to the streets...and march right down to your polling station and vote! (Or, you know, early vote.)
This would be the flash mob to beat all flash mobs. The Republicans would never see you coming, because their whole strategy depends on keeping you depressed and disengaged.
Don't like the direction the Democrats are going? Take a page out of the Tea Party's book--they changed the direction of the Republican party by voting for it, and now they own it. Vote Democrat and nudge it leftward this election--then keep nudging it until you can take the wheel. Because the alternative is a hard right turn by the Republicans.
Not only would this be a lifesaver for countless people who are not "White male Christian Conservative Americans", it would also be funny as hell. Want to see Trump have a meltdown on international television? Want to see pollsters and political pundits say "What the fuck?!" Want to see the newspapers suddenly flock to gay nightclubs and college campuses to interview "average voters" instead of rural diners?
