listen… i’m a lesbian and i know full well what oppression based on love is like… but i wish white gay folks wouldn’t act like sexuality is the only reason anyone’s ever felt that

there are people in my family who’ve been disowned because they married someone of a different colour to them… i’m mixed race and the very concept of my existence would’ve been illegal in the us when my parents were born. the supreme court only ruled against discrimination of mixed-race marriages in 1967! that’s barely 50 years ago. homophobia is an awful thing to experience and i know that from first hand experience but i’m begging you to remember that gay people aren’t the only ones being killed for who they love. please remember the struggles faced by Black and brown people when you talk about oppression. please have some solidarity with your nonwhite friends (especially your nonwhite gay friends!) when you talk about dismantling the systems that keep us alone and isolated. please remember the horrible history that is anti-miscegenation laws when you talk about equal marriage rights, because they aren’t just for white gay people.

this is okay for white people to reblog

i see your Friends to Lovers trope and raise you Lovers Back to Friends. because healthy, amicable breakups are good and sometimes your ex can still be your good buddy

you wild for thinking anyone on this website has ever broken up without also destroying no less than three friend groups and generating six callout posts in the process

My ex and my partner’s ex are both coming to our engagement party. Also possibly partner’s ex’s most recent ex as well.

@star-anise #THIS is the kinda representation i want in my fiction #GIVE ME THE PARTIES WHERE YOU’RE IN YOUR THIRTIES AND HALF THE PEOPLE HAVE ALL SLEPT TOGETHER

i’ve been quoting this podcast a lot lately but, LGBTQ&A | Chelsey Johnson: Portland’s Queer Mythology talks about chosen families that are a mesh of friends and current partners and ex-partners of everyone involved. it also talks about her book Stray City, which i haven’t read but sounds fun.

lol all my parties are like that. i also used to date my best friend. welcome to your thirties, keep awesome people in your life.

So I have it on the authority of both the animal shelter and the guy that runs the fish and reptile store that this is FINE.  

People at the shelter are thrilled to have people come pet/play with the animals to help socialize them, and you can even sign up for scheduled dog walks or other socialization events there!  Reptile store guy says that as long as you’re not tapping on the fishtanks or bothering him while he’s trying to help customers, it’s great to have people in the store and learning more about reptiles/getting them accilmated to humans.  He even let me hold the boa contrictor once while he was cleaning out her cage.

So go in, be polite and nice to the animals and staff, and have a good time!

All cat rescues I’ve been involved with also look for people to come in and play with the cats, especially kittens, to socialize them.

cops on Queer Eye:

• are openly tr*mp supporters with a MAGA hat that they let the fab 5 find
• their idea of a prank is pulling over a gay black man for no reason and scaring him into thinking he’s about to be brutalized by the police or even killed with his friends clearly expressing their concern for him to even get out of the car when the cop asked
• when Karamo tries to tell them that it wasn’t funny to try that kind of joke in the current political climate the cop tries to switch it to a “but not all cops are bad cops and we get discriminated against too” conversation 

firefighters on Queer Eye:

• try to raise money with a community fundraiser to properly train other firefighters 
• let the fab 5 hose them down in wet t-shirt contest
• let Jonathan give them a little spa day with foot soaking and face masks
• take dance classes for said fundraiser and even willingly learn a couple Magic Mike dance moves
• their idea of a prank is to startle Tan with an exploding pen
• the hot white one let’s Karamo crush all over him and call him Superman the whole time without any hesitation

Remember there’s a reason no one ever says “Fuck the firefighters!”

I’m pretty sure Karamo wanted to fuck the firefighters
