In honour of lesbian visibility week I want to tell you about the time I should have realised I wasn't a straight girl: when I was playing my dad's copy of gta IV (? One of the games before 5) and people in the game were talking about strip clubs and I proceeded to ram into the map barriers for Several Minutes trying desperately to find the strip club.
This is infinitely funnier if you know me well enough to know that if this were 2015 I would kin ratio and the only difference between me and ratio is that my anxiety means I went through the Character Development of learning other people's feelings get hurt when you talk to them like that.

One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.
- may as well not exist to me I am so ambivalent to him
- also don't care (neutral) but he's not an American so bonus points but he drives for McLaren (enemy) so bonus points retracted.
- He was really good in f2 so like. Also ambivalent but I think I have a better impression of him as a racer bc I actually watched him in a decent car.
I love James Baldwin simply because he validates my existence. He already (and more eloquently) thought, said and wrote everything I want to—but with those things having already been thought, written and said, it’s up to those who’ve come after him to work to affect change.
Sorry for the 5am thoughts but I think it says enough about Bethesda's politics that in both starfield and fallout they've shoved the 'cowboy aesthetic' blindly into places it has no business being.
