I Tried To Leave Kudos On A Fic That Was Already Deleted (i Had The Tab Open) And I Was Expecting It

he is not ok

Happy anniversary, Stonewall riots! Stay revolutionary!

Guys- guys- I'm not alive. I'm not even real. I never have been. I'm just a hallucination that a lot of people have. This isn't an actual post. You're just fucking crazy.

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys

imagine you're frolicking in a field, prancing through long grass, singing "falalalala~", occasionally picking a flower. etc, etc. but a guy in the same field is watching you, about 20 paces away. he lowers his opera glasses (which he was using to watch you) and starts clutching his head and screaming with blind rage because of how much you're pissing him off. that's what it's like to be on the internet.

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

"Lesbian means exclusive attraction to women!"

"No, it means non-men exclusively attracted to non-men!"

"It actually means queer attraction to women!"

"Lesbian means women and nonbinary people being exclusively attracted to other women and nonbinary people!"

Lesbian is a multifaceted label that can describe many different experiences. There is no one perfect definition of lesbian that will encompass the entire diverse experiences that lesbians can have.

I'm personally a genderqueer woman who's exclusively attracted to other women, but the lesbian next to me might be a transmasc lesbian who loves all genders except for men. And the lesbian next to them might be a bigender lesbian who's both a girl and a boy, who's exclusively attracted to women. Our experiences can all be described by the term lesbian if that's how we wish to describe it, but we might define it differently based on our own experiences. And guess what?

None of our definitions are wrong, but none of our definitions will encompass every other lesbian's experiences. A word can have multiple definitions without any of the definitions being wrong. And those definitions can be very vague or very specific. Labels are made to fit us- we aren't made to fit labels.

People who may have a different experience with the lesbian label are not your enemies. People in lesbian spaces who aren't exactly like you are not your enemies. The problem comes when you try to force one singular definition on every single lesbian. THAT is harmful. Sending death threats to other lesbians because they don't have the same experience as you is harmful. Not another lesbian having a different experience from you.

hey. hey c’mere.

what if the argument between Dipper’s parents he wasn’t supposed to hear was about him because his egg had recently cracked and their “daughter” has started dressing more masculinely and Mabel helped whack off “her” hair one night in the bathroom with craft scissors and “she” has started saying “she” likes names like Tyrone and Mason and “she” is getting picked on for it and the Pines parents have been getting called into school and don’t really know what to do with their trans preteen and they’re stressed and Dipper’s problems at school were the straw that broke the camel’s back and even though he was just the topic and not the cause of the argument, he can’t help but feel like he might be driving his parents to divorce simply by trying to be himself because he’s a ball of anxiety and even though he sees a summer with his weird great uncle in a town where no one knows him as the perfect opportunity to experience some gender euphoria for the first time, he still feels guilty for being a source of tension, and that guilt manifests as delicacy around his perceived masculinity. Do you guys ever think about that?

So...did u get deja vu?
