anyway shoutout to lgbt people who are NOT queer and they are NOT dykes and NOT faggots. being uncomfortable with a slur does not separate you from your identity and place in the community. kind of the point of slurs is making people uncomfortable. would be weird to assume they don't.

#myaa #post made by a faggy dyke btw #reclamation is a personal choice and you can't make someone do it 👍 #think of any other insult or slur. hold it in your mind. #would you yell at someone for not being comfortable referring to themselves by that word? #would you claim the part of their identity that that word mocks/others/dehumanizes* them for is absent bc they odnt want to be *?

Watching a vid essay about the rampant transphobia in house md and its so funny bc every house fan on here a faggot. Like house will gleefully list off several slurs without provocation in a single episode and i will be like "wow thats actually so fucked up. Surely gay people are rightfully outraged over this" and then i log onto tumblr and see hilson fucking super sweaty yaoi nastystyle & house with pre op man boobies on the same dash page without even scrolling

#Its beautiful. I love you housemdblr #To me... this is reclamation... #Cuddy wilson and house are t4t actually. Like sure why not. fuck yea dawg #Not even saying this as like a jab to housemdblr i think its so funny and awesome also #Make those old men kiss..................... and give them top surgery scars while you're at it sonny.......... #house md #johan's mindpalace

abandoned strip mine 18 years after volunteers planted trees into the ground of mostly broken rock and partly scant clayey soil

So cool to see how the forbidding boulders and stones become lush with moss and lichens and the ferns and small plants return

#nature is healing #plants #mine reclamation #the ways of the plants #we are a keystone species

like, i think that neon white is obviously gunning for the 'embrace your inner cringe' ethos, but it doesn't work for me because my cringe middle school self wasn't drawing edgy half-demon half-vampire anime twinks with 100 belts, she was sneering at those people for not understanding that Real Art was writing a 10,000 word dictionary for your conlang for your fantasy world thats Like DND But Better (twice as many types of elves and the roman empire is there)

#tattletxt #and obviously in case the subtext is not clear enough this is not saying that one of these is better than the other yknow #just articulating why this specific homage to a specific subculutre doesn't speak to me #similar to stuff like vylet pony or the sparkledog renaissance--i think this could be a powerful reclamation of a certain moment in culture #for somebody who is v. much not me

Heya!! My top surgery consultation is right around the corner and I still need a bit of financial help to pay for the surgery, so I've added some new designs to my RB to help with that :D . If you're a fellow queer punk, I think you'll enjoy these. If not, there's other softer designs up there too that might suit your fancy! Check it out!

Why do you like vampires specifically, what do you like of them?

the sucking and fucking

#ask #also many several deep complex reasons #and if i were to divulge into them i would actually never shut up #its the. vampyrisim being a metaphore for otherness. for queerness #them being originally created (in europe at least) to be cruel representations of jewish people - immigrants and eastern europeans - and #these people reclaiming them. the reclamation of vampires to be the 'others' the ones that are ostracized by society #and people finding solidarity in that. vampires are queer their entire mythology is inherently queer as well so its beautiful in its own wa #vampires were transformed from cruel caricatures with intent to portray the fears of xenophobic english men to #complex deeply thought-out characters that embrace their differences from 'humanity' and live in their true identity #remember when i said “i cant delve into this otherwise i wont stop talking” yeah sorry it happened anyway

homogenising something that has always been inherently diverse will kill us all one day.

#-> myra text #political critique #that is why hindutva should have not been popularised. hindutva is not decolonisation or reclamation. #it is homogenising and exclusionist. it takes away the diverse history of this country. #but this statement will reach deaf ears. rather than critiquing nobility they will go and bark casteist and islamphobic bs. #did invaders did what invaders do? yes. but this whole property destruction and lives being at risk has been going on for years. #biggest example who are quite popular: ajatshatru (son of bimbisara) & ashoka the great (the massacre at kaling) #i'm all in for criticising nobility i have no respect for any kings despite their religion and community and whatever. #they're all shits who benefited and left the common people to rot. #these people will say that tipu sultan is the devil reborn but will go on praising the marathas #as if the marathas did not cause a bloodshed in bengal karnataka and the punjab regions. not saying tipu is good but i rather #wanted to point out the hypocrisy of people in certain spaces. its a good thing to appreciate history and even better thing to learn from #the mistakes made in past but some of you guys did not understand the whole point. #absolute shit head cunts some of you guys are. come at me brand me whatever slurs you fuckers use i don't give a shit #calling people sex slaves just because they don't subscribe to your viewpoint is not the big own you think it is. #sanghi bs #india #hindutva

Land reclamation in the Netherlands since 1300.

To add on to slang/social norms Noir misses out on is the term ‘punk’. In the 1930s and WW2, ‘punk’ was a term used kinda similarly to how twink used to be used, but typically a lot more derogatory. Point is Noir hears someone call Hobie spider-punk or refer to the spider band as a bunch of punks once and he blue screens/starts throwing shit.

#it’s crazy how terms and slang has changed over time #like I’m sure this is not the only one that would immediately come up #there is def more #slur reclamation and the history of queer terminology is wicked interesting #I made a slide show in highschool #spider noir #spider band #ITSV #ATSV #Hobie brown #spider punk #spiderman

I just. What do you think was going through his mind when his car exploded into pieces in front of him and the piece that landed next to him was a hand crank? Like the world was ending around him, he'd just gone through the rollercoaster of losing and then finding his angel again, and from the burning bones of the Bentley fate offers him an echo of the same object he'd once been given divinely. What did it feel like to reach for a souvenir and find that object given to him in this new context? What did it feel like to use that again in this moment of once again offering the fate of humanity up to the choice of one it's own? To be able to hold this thing, born again from a human made object, and say this time I am going to use it to give them the opportunity to choose their own fate?

#good omens #crowley #I keep thinking about this and how he leaves that airfield wondering if this was all God's plan from the start #I wonder if it felt like finding equilibrium or maybe a sort of reclamation #Like acknowledging that even if you are not who you once were you can and often do still carry parts of them with you #And validation that carrying those parts do not mean you are still that person #That same act starting the universe in motion again has such a different meaning being used to give Adam a choice #Despite the fact it is clearly meant to be an echo of starting the universe for the sake of being created to do so #Hi yes I'm still thinking about the damn hand crank

Sometimes you spend too much time in a feminist art exhibition and just think "well you've just reduced women to the fact they are reduced to their bodies"

#art #feminism #feminist art #idk this might be nothing #maybe i was just tired #but there's more to womanhood than being objectified #i know it's an act of reclamation but if that's all anyone is doing at the end of the day women are still just their bodies #anyway this is specifically about two exhibitions i saw this summer #it might not be a common issue
