Oh Really AND WHAT DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING NEXT WEEK

anyone else think the timing of this whole queen dying shit is a little bit convenient considering if she actually kicks it all the media is going to be talking about for the next however many months is her funeral and the new monarch instead of. yknow. the fact the government is in the middle of taking our human rights away. anyone else feel like this just a little bit too perfectly timed to not be blanket coverage

(EDIT) y'all are doing my fucking head in in the notes lmao like you really missed the point here, just ignore my mostly joking accusation of staging the queen's death for a sec here and maybe think about how even if they didn't do that, they are definitely going to take advantage of the situation as much as possible to distract from the fact that millions of poor brits will starve and freeze to death in their homes this winter whilst what little money they have will be spent on her solid gold coffin. if it's not a conspiracy already it's going to become one. they will take any opportunity they can to make sure the media and the government and by extension WE don't have to talk about the worst cost of living crisis in decades and our increasingly fascist leadership. they WILL make sure this is all we hear about as they continue chipping away at our rights and our wallets throughout autumn and winter and beyond. making jokes and celebrating her death is all well and good and we should be glad she's dead but this is only going to make matters worse for the poorest and most vulnerable people in our country. the tyranny she oversaw and was complicit in will not end just because she's dead. they'll use it to get away with even more shit

Wishing all my asexual spectrum followers a wonderful Asexual Awareness Week!

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

Happy Asexual Awareness week to all my Aces and Aspecs. Here’s a friendly reminder that:

The “A” in LGBTQIA does not stand for ally but asexual and aromantic as well as agender

Asexuality is on a spectrum so depending where someone falls or how they identify, they may or may not experience intimate attraction

Asexuals are not broken

Asexuals aren’t “cishets trying to evade LGBTQ+ spaces”

Asexual and aromanticism shouldn’t be used synonymously. They have similar principals but different meanings. Both primarily deal with experiencing little to no attraction

Not all asexuals are virgins and that doesn’t make them any less asexual because of it

Asexuality is real and valid

Just because aphobia infrequently escalates to violence doesn’t mean it’s nonexistent

Corrective assault isn’t limited to just bi and gay men/lesbians

A few pro tips while I’m at it:

Using virginity as an insult to asexuals is like using heterosexuality to insult a straight person, you sound stupid

If at one point you believed to be asexual but later discovered you weren’t that’s okay, but using that experience to invalidate others isn’t

Spitefully sending nsfw to people who identify as ace, especially MINORS (and yes this has happened before) is disgusting. Seek help.

Gatekeeping isn’t a personality trait

Oppression isn’t a competition so quit acting as such

Cowards won’t Reblog

REBLOG IF YOU SUPPORT BISEXUALS!!

My parents are saying “I need to make my mind up” and I want to prove them that bisexuals are valid

Teachers: I don't understand why you all don't like online teaching

Also online teaching:

Though the jokes that "since gay pride month is over, july is now gay wrath month" are funny and all, it's important to remember that July is ACTUALLY Disability Pride Month and y'all should really be focused on boosting disabled voices and issues this month! For instance, the fact that marriage equality doesn't actually truly exist in the United States for disabled people, or the fact that disabled people are forced to live in poverty or lose their disability benefits, or the fact that 1 in 5 people with chronic pain end up sufferring from alcoholism or other addictions, or how accessibility is still a daily battle for all of us, or how there are active hate groups on places like reddit who try to "call out" those they see as "faking" their disabilities.

This July, boost disabled voices. Talk about the issues that our community faces. Call out ableism.
