Know your history:

Gay:

Used to mean carefree

Then sexually deviant

Then prostitute

Then slut

Then sodomite

And THEN as we know it today but only as a slur

Reclaimed in the seventies

LGBT:

Invented in the nineties

Has faced constant backlash (from both straight, queer, and LGBT folks from being not inclusive enough or too inclusive)

Every year there are pushes to change to acronym

LGBTQ

LGBTQ+

LGBTQ*

LGBTQIA

Mogai

Alphabet soup

Queer:

Used to mean “other”

Became a slang term for “not straight” in the 1400s

Became a slur in the early 1900s

Reclaimed in the 80s.

Sudden push back from within the queer community to have it seen only as a slur in the 2010s, a push that can be traced back to terf ideology.

Is the only term that includes all non cishet people

Homosexual

A medical diagnosis

Used for decades to make queerness into a mental illness

Used as a slur for the latter half of the 20th century

Rejected by the queer community as an acceptable term for a brief period of time in the early 2000s before coming back into fashion.

Only describes the experience of cis gay men and cis lesbians

Think what you want, believe what you will, but every word we have ever used to describe ourselves is coated in blood.

Say it with me folks:

“Eat the rich” means 1%ers and billionaires

middle class is closer to poverty than being a multimillionaire

“The rich” does NOT include children of billionaires (come on we’re at least slightly better than the plagues of Egypt)

Upper middle class children SHOULD NOT feel guilt over having money

Being aware of privilege and using your privilege to help others IS NOT a guilt trip

Constantly feeling guilty helps no one

Billionaires, however, should feel guilty over hoarding wealth.

Upper middle class is NOT rich

Black Lives Matter

Trans rights are human rights

People who auto block minors who aren't even following them are fascinating to me. Are you aware,, did you know,,, has it occurred to you that minors..... Age. Will eventually not be minors anymore. I mean you do you but if they weren't even following you and you block them,,, why did you do that

[bimormondisaster]

*packs all my stuffed animals in my bag* i’m ready to go

#you joke but as a kid #when I first learned about 72 hour kits #I just put all my stuffies in a backpack #and told my mom I had my kit backed #because I figured I didn’t need anything other then my stuffies in an emergency

society when ppl realize gender fluidity isn't simply switching clothes

[bimormondisaster]

[bimormondisaster]

Can't say I recognise myself or any other millenials I know in this description of a generation that's unwilling to experience even the slightest difficulty.

[bimormondisaster]

Just glanced at the new fsy and it looks like it is more of a compass than a rule book. I'll look more into it later but I like that

I'll only be watching the first session live (possibly the last depending on the subway) but remember to take a break when needed and you don't have to watch live if you don't want to! Take care of yourself and my ask/inbox is always open!
