Okay, So I Try Hard To Cover Global Queer History, And This Isn't Marking A Stop To That, But I Am Aware

Okay, so I try hard to cover global queer history, and this isn't marking a stop to that, but I am aware that most of my audience is American, and I want to address them very directly right now.

Google Removed Pride Month From Its Calendar App, and Stonewall National Monument's "LGBTQ" status was changed to "LGB" on the government website. This is the beginning of the erasure of queer history, not the end. I don't know what the future of the United States looks like, as someone who studies queer history and has done so for many years, I want to share some tools with you.

Now is a good time to prioritize local queer history, Making Gay History is a great project, so is the Digital Transgender Archive, but also check your city and see what resources there are.

Read and buy books about queer history. I have an affiliate list with some of the books I personally recommend.

If you use Google Calendar, repopulate that resource with so much queer history with a free queer history calendar plug-in, it has names from queer history that you can also learn more about for free when they come up. As the author of these articles, feel free to save them, print them off, whatever makes them freely accessible as suppression get's worse.

Use your local library. Email the board about book bans, request banned books, request queer books, and make your voice heard.

Make queer art. Share queer art. Protect queer art. Here is some public-domain queer art to use as you wish.

Keep up with queer news, THEM is a great resource.

All of these tools are currently freely accessible with an internet connection. Queer history is a community responsibility, do your part.

Making Worlds

To other DMs out there, how the hell do you actually pin down scales for worlds? Every time I try to put a distance on the map, it both makes everything feel too close to everything else, but also that there are, like, 2 points of interest on the whole map and the rest is blank graph paper.

I have a compulsive urge to start conversations with people who I haven’t talked to all day with “Also” or “Anyway”. I don’t know why, but no one every says anything

when i say “that reminds me” & theres zero connection you just have to take my word for it theres no time to explain

Accessibility and caring for disabled folk needs to be at the core of any eco friendly movement. Caring for your neighbors is the most important thing you can do for the world.

"Make me" is always an invitation by the way.

Idk where that post is that said “anybody who tells you other trans people are the enemy is a Fed” but yeah, can we bring back that energy please?

Trans woman are not trans men’s oppressors, trans men are not trans women’s oppressors, nonbinary people are not responsible for transphobes not taking trans people seriously.

Talking about transmysogyny is not oppressive to trans men. Using the word transandrophobia is not inherently transmysogynistic. Talking about exorsexism is not erasing binary trans peoples struggles.

Like comon guys this is really basic stuff can we all agree on these things before moving on?
