I got the librarian at the city library SO mad when I told her about the "no kink at pride" discourse. "They want to do WHAT?" she began. "When I was a club kid in the late EIGHTIES me and my pals used to travel around Kentucky doing demos--we made a TORTURE WHEEL where you could get strung up and spun around, oh the things I got at home depot"

HOOK ME THE FUCK UPPPPP

For just some of the reasons why this ends up harming queer communities, see eevee’s thread: https://twitter.com/eevee/status/1382132383181197317

Remembered today how my dad saw me standing on a bike ride once with hands on my hips, and told me not to stand like that, because--and here I read disgust in his voice--I looked like a girl.

That kinda stuff *really* stuck with me. Even as a cis man, enforcement of masculine gender norms hit me hard. Sometimes I think about what a miracle it is that I can be a little swishy today--at least, in some contexts--and *not* have to feel that pressure.

orange site bad (sincere)

Winona Ryder & Sigourney Weaver in Alien: Resurrection are, in fact, an intergenerational lesbian romance. Ripley is the 80's-scarred leatherdyke, begrudgingly falling for the 00's baby lesbian with a pixie cut...

It should be illegal to automatically, every few minutes, overwrite /etc/resolv.conf without putting in a comment about *what software overwrote it*

Re-reading Rubin's 1982 "The Leather Menace", and I think you could argue that Tumblr-era discourse around "the public doesn't consent to seeing kink/bodies at pride" is in some sense a continuation of the last 70-odd years of conservative repression of marginal sexualities, and how gay people themselves have historically been baited into separating themselves from "those deviants".

There's a sense, I think, in which anti-sex queer polemic is... almost an echo of the Lesbian Sex Wars.

Oh my god look what came in the mail today
