Sensual yet caustic. Poetically endearing, but brazen and harsh. I like dance, competition, laughter, philosophical talks until the sun rises. Magic, adventure, and culture.
Let's make it happen.
Hey, this post may contain adult content, so we’ve hidden it from public view.
It makes me happy knowing that we have an entire subgroup of twitter users that prepare some freshly cut pinapple for their significant other before they visit. This is very sweet.
💛it is super hospitable.
I hate to be the one to break the innocent romance but …pineapple makes your semen taste better, allegedly.
Marsha P. Johnson died on this day in 1992. Co-founder of the Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries, she cheerfully cared for the less fortunate, earning her the moniker Saint Marsha. The police ruled her death a suicide - but in 2012 began re-investigating it as a homicide.
He was awesome, for sure, but he was a gay man. Literally according to himself, in an interview days before his death. This is homophobic, gay erasure. He was not a woman and he did not call himself such.
So a couple things:
I didn’t specify her gender identity. (as a random cishet white dude on the internet, I shouldn’t be making those determinations in general.)
Yes, she called herself a gay man.
She also used female pronouns. In every single interview with one of her friends that I’ve ever seen (and I’ve watched hours of them), they used female pronouns for her. I would argue that if one truly seeks to honor Marsha, they should follow said examples and use female pronouns.
The 1970s gay community also did its level best to exclude Marsha, Sylvia Rivera, and other people in STAR. They attempted to ban them from the 1978 New York Gay Pride Parade. Marsha and Sylvia ran to the front of the parade and unfurled a banner anyway. I would argue that it is a greater erasure to simply label Marsha a “gay man” and ignore her life’s reality, which included extreme discrimination from many in the gay community, who didn’t accept her as a gay man.
(The gay community did evolve! By 1980 Marsha and Sylvia were invited to be at the front of the parade. This is all ancient history at this point, and not meant as a knock on the modern gay community.)
Marsha was born in 1945. There wasn’t fine-grain gender terminology at a popular level during her coming of age – most everything was lumped under “gay.” I am not making the argument that she would have identified differently if born in a different era (although that’s probably an argument someone could make). I am saying that it is very difficult to map modern gender definitions onto vintage gender declarations. Marsha was as complex a human being as any of us and should be represented as such. I see your categorization of her as reductionist.
Calling that short paragraph homophobic is a willful misrepresentation.
happy independence day let’s impeach the president
The only 4th of july post i care about
I can top it: yesterday, NPR made a series of tweets that Trump supporters called “propaganda” and “trash words” to insult Trump and push NPR’s agenda.
NPR was tweeting the Declaration of Independence.
And that, folks, describes about 75% of Trump’s voter base.
Some exammples of the Trump followers vs NPR thing
The big problem with eating pussy is that guys use it as a tool to get a girl wet for penetration instead of treating it like its own sex act that requires arousal beforehand. Like don’t go 0-oral pls. Kiss, tease, dirty talk, touch, make them NEED it first. You’ll save yourself time and tongue strain as well as giving them a wayyy better orgasm hello
You cannot challenge racism, on this level, by being nice to and reaching out to white supremacists. Their entire ideology revolves around dehumanizing us. It just does. not. work.
You cannot fight fascism by prioritizing the feelings of fascists and letting them think they’re safe around you. You don’t “get them on your side”. Because treating them kindly and respecting them, gives them your silent approval and access to those of you who are way more vulnerable than you are and who cannot afford to feel safe enough to “debate” with these monsters.
Our humanity is not a question or a debate topic, and by giving these people a platform you legitimize their views and help spread them to a larger audience.
Then… How did it work for this guy?
They shot him in the fucking head.
Say that shit again!
They shot him in the fucking head.
They shot him in the fucking head.
They shot him in the fucking head.
They shot him in the fucking head.
The idea that MLK was ‘nice’ to white supremacists is also just historical revisionism @kuurihaunt.
He was sent death threats. The FBI considered him dangerous. People assaulted and murdered many of his followers. White America thought he was too confrontational and not appeasing enough to the sensibilities of whites. He was considered disruptive and an “outside agitator.” He was not a beloved man. He was hated and despised.
His protests came with the risk of being brutalized or killed by police or vigilantes. He decried the white moderate for caring more about order than justice. He refused to condemn riots, ‘the language of the unheard,’ because of how violent America was to Black people. Despite their differences, Malcolm X offered him protection and self-defense. Even though he was committed to nonviolent resistance, which meant breaking the law, disrupting traffic and yes - willingly opening yourself to being brutalized, he was more complicated than you give him credit.
The United States hated him and for his troubles he was killed.
He was not the caricature of nonviolence you think he was. Read a fucking book.
This can not be overstated: The idea that MLK was ‘nice’ to white supremacists is also just historical revisionism @kuurihaunt.
