I Imagine the Butches’ Stripper Bar
At my butches’ stripper bar you can watch butches fold laundry, iron. Objectify them while they slowly refinish a rolltop desk, take off a trailer hitch. They file taxes, wear waders, bake you a layer cake. I’ll lay her cake, my imagined patrons mutter. I think of who I eroticize, how: they’re always getting stuff done. At real stripper bars women just dance—so many things they could be checking off their lists. I guess men don’t want to see women work? They get that at home? In my Champagne Room the butches plant bulbs, build bookshelves, clean basements, write checks to the ACLU, retrain your dog. Fantastic grow the flannel plaids; they lean and squint, lick pencils, adjust a miter box. They make box lunches, chicken stock. The butches make your day.

Hi, my name is Fern. I live in a state where abortion is illegal this is seriously a last resort for me so please share if you can't donate. my friend suggested twitter and tumblr since he's seen other people raise funds here. Last week I made the difficult decision to leave an abusive relationship. I stayed longer than I should because of finances, but now I'm stuck with an unwanted pregnancy. I'm still in school and financially unable to support a child. I asked my parents for help but they are apposed to abortion and are recommending I carry to term but I'm not ready for that. I'm panicking and scared.
I really need help, mostly for getting to and from the nearest location that I can get a surgical abortion done, as it's already too late for me to try the pill method. I tried to do the pill method last week but I didn't make the appointment. At 10 weeks now I'm forced to have a surgical abortion and the nearest location is 4 and a half hours away.
I need help getting there and back since I don't have a reliable vehicle so I might need to pay a friend to drive me. I also need to pay for some of the cost of the abortion, which is around 700.
I will also be using the donations to get this procedure done, and paying for mscellaneous stuff like the gas money, drinks and food for the drive, an oil change probably, and post surgery healing items such as a heating pad, midol, comfort items, pads.. Thank you for taking the time to read this, this is incredibly urgent so please share if you can't donate.
Wanted to draw that scene from The Book of Bill :D
You do realize just because you are also called something it doesn’t mean you’re what people called you, right?
Using that as an argument to use slurs that are not yours to reclaim is so stupid lol
I’ve been called straight before, does that mean I am straight? No…
Even if someone called me the f slur (that means someone gay, as in homosexual) that wouldn’t mean I’m that thing, which still doesn’t give me the right to reclaim that slur.
I’ve seen a lot of non-lesbian sapphics taking advantage of “I’ve been called dyke before so I get to call myself one” as an excuse to reclaim the word and the second they can they call a lesbian a dyke to offend them. So no, you don’t get to reclaim a slur if that slur doesn’t describe you.
come out & haunt me, I know you want me
