everyone shut up. argos is experiencing mr plant laugh for the first time 😤 a sound he'll remember for the rest of his life.

Starting off the new year with something sappy lol

i couldn't get this out of my head so now you get to look at it.

I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!

I drew me and my irl boyfriend as the revenge album cover . also yes his hair is actually pink he's so awesomesauce

The genderfluid urge to do T and become a drag queen

So as of late, news in America has been devastating for many communities especially the LGBTQIA+ community and the POC community. As a trans man myself, I will not detransition (which for me has only been socially not physically sadly) or hide my shame, but, I am also unsure if I can risk seeking asylum elsewhere, as I do not have a valid passport and to get such a passport I would likely get all my documents confiscated due to my Drivers license having an X as my gender marker.

I know many who are afraid or nervous as well and I know my state is typically safe, but my family is not, my local community is not, and the risks and dangers will always be there for me. I remind my family I’m trans, I get screamed at and hit in the back of the head, I get told because I’m pregnant I’m not trans because trans people can’t have kids apparently. All I did was mention how I can’t leave the country anymore in a civil conversation.

Due to the state of everything I’m not very energetic or willing to post or message as much. I would love to post more and share more but it takes a lot of energy to get up anymore and even be around my own family, make my drs appointments, even go to work. I apologize for any radio silence, but living in a Nazi home is rather exhausting for me and my mental health may never recover from this first month of 4 long years.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ GOOD queer news for the TL: a bunch of students across the U.S. are using grants to make their schools more welcoming for LGBTQ+ youth

Queer students deserve to feel safe at school! We're in our third year of giving grants to put the power in their hands to make their schools more welcoming - students know what they need most in their own communities and their own schools.

Through 50 States, 50 Grants, 5,000 Voices, we've awarded over $1.5 million in grants across the U.S. to support student-led projects. Our third season has some of the most badass projects yet, like these:

❤️ “With this grant, we’ll establish an LGBTQIA+ community space in the library, open to all students, with guest speakers, arts and crafts, LGBTQIA+ books and literature, and LGBTQIA+-specific resources.” - Pocatello, Idaho

🧡 “Our project aims to support LGBTQ+ students through teacher training, development of gender-neutral bathroom protocols, and the organization of a district-wide Queer Prom.” - Gypsum, Colorado

💛 “We’ll take students from the 3 middle schools and our local high school to Honolulu Pride to make local LGBTQ+ friends, feel accepted in a large group, and see the community beyond just school.” - Ewa Beach, Hawai'i

💚 “We’re going to increase access to queer literature by working with a local nonprofit to expand our school’s collection, host storytelling events, and foster community connection." - Mobile, Alabama

💙 “Our plan is to create new Inclusivity Zones across the state in critical areas for local GSA clubs to meet, plan shared events, and be their own safe space.” - Charleston, West Virginia

💜 “We’ll host the Rainbow Youth Summit for LGBTQIA+ youth from across southern California to network, learn, and have fun in a safe, judgement free and supportive environment.” - Cathedral City, California

These students are truly the definition of making things better - you can see the rest of the amazing projects lined up across the country on our blog here!

‼️WRITERS & ARTISTS OF TUMBLR‼️

I NEED HELP NAMING MY OC’S!!!

Here’s some info about them:

•(name TBD), she/her, 17, lesbian, Rwandan-Brazilian roots, loves nature and tea, cottagecore, environmentalist, crystals, kind, painter, plays guitar, sings, gentle, motherly to her friends, loves good food, loves to dance but in a gothic/spiritual kind of way, pagan-ish (kinda new to the religion), plant-witch, cat lover, likes hippie style clothing and makeup.

•(name TBD), he/him, mid 20s-30s, straight(?), some sort of hispanic roots (TBD), tired all the time, hates his job, coffee addict, single but doesn’t want to be, lonely, has a passion for art but had to give it up, cannot for the life of him take care of himself properly, can cook well if he actually puts in effort.

Context: A group of prodigy, queer, neurodivergent teenagers from the American south decide to break into the capital one day because they’re bored. They hire an agent (?) who hates his job to be their “guy on the inside”. He ends up bonding with them and it’s a whole found family-thing.

These two are main characters. The first girl is a member of the group of teenagers. The guy is the agent they ‘hire’.

I plan on making this film a reality in my future.

I want their names to be culturally accurate and not stereotypes.

Please and thank you!

P.S. I’m Chilean if that helps at all idk-

Hello,

My name is CJ and I’m a trans man. I grew up in a small town in North Carolina and I still live there today. My dad is a Chilean immigrant and he came to this country when he was only 8, spending most of his life in the beautiful land of Puerto Rico. My mom grew up in Florida (where I was born) and has mainly Irish ancestry. I have two older brothers, both in college. One attends Juilliard, the other UNCC. Most of my friends are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. I also have friends who are children of immigrants, just like me.

When I was born, it was induced by medication and I was born 8 weeks early due to a disease my mom had contracted while pregnant with me. We both survived thanks to the doctors and nurses who helped my mom deliver me safely. Due to my premature birth, I have struggled my whole life with chronic illness and disability.

I am telling you all of this because I am scared. Tomorrow is November 5th, Election Day, and depending on who wins I may be in serious danger.

Please, for the sake of me, my friends, my family, the trans community, the chronically ill, the disabled community, immigrants, immigrant families, women who need access to healthcare, and EVERY. SINGLE. American citizen…

Even if they look imperfect when you turn them around they’re just as beautiful as the rest.

Made pride cookies, i think the end and side pieces are my favorite.

Day two of 30 day pride challenge

:something that makes me happy

Honestly these bois

So I made this because why not. It’s the quoiromantic pride flag.

yyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss!!!!!!!!

Quoiromanticism

Quoiromanticism is something that needs to be more known. From what I can tell, it’s a lot more common to be quoiromantic than people think.

Quoiromantic has multiple names other than quoiromantic, including WTFromantic, whatromantic, and there’s one that I’ll get into more later.

Quoiromantic is an inability or extreme difficulty telling the difference between romantic and platonic attraction.

How do you pronounce it?

It’s pronounced like “kwa” - romantic. “quoi” is french for “what”, and is pronounced “kwa”.

I really don’t like the term, what now?

There isn’t really another term for it (unless in a situation otherwise specified), so if the term is uncomfortable for you (just doesn’t feel right, don’t like the questiony implication, etc..) you could probably make a new one or just use arospec (aromantic spectrum) as your identity but the definition of quoiro as an explanation for your orientation.

I have {alexithymia/ASD/other neurodivergence} and I think thats why I can’t tell the difference. Am I still a valid quoiromantic?

Yes. Neurodivergence can affect identity and that’s still valid. It doesn’t matter if you wouldn’t be quoiromantic if you weren’t neurodivergent. You are neurodivergent. Now, there’s a term specifically for ND people that is similar to quoiromantic but with one thing added to the definition: inability or extreme difficulty telling the difference between romantic and platonic attraction due to neurodivergence. This word is Nebularomantic. This is easier for me to pronounce (quoi makes my mouth feel weird) which is part of why I like it so much.

I think I might be quoiromantic but I know I’m only attracted to {guys/girls/nb people/some combination}. How can I know that if I can’t tell the difference?

I know it’s weird, but orientations are weird and individual too. I’m quoiromantic and I know I’m gay. For me it’s because I can see myself with other guys and masculine nonbinary people, but not with girls or feminine nonbinary people (androgynous nonbinary people are kinda a coin toss). However, this is never person specific. It’s really weird.

So.. do quoiromantics just have ‘crushes’ on all their friends?

Well, it’s weird. There are various terms recommended for quoi “crushes”. The most common is “plush” but I find it kinda… :/ like it reminds me of kids toys and that seems kinda weird to me. One that was recommended was quoish (pronounced kwash) but it sounds kinda like crush anyway. I also saw quish (pronounced and spelled “squish” without the “s”) and that one seems pretty good to me. Also, no. Some quoiromantics can’t even tell if they experience romantic attraction or just have really strong “friend crushes” (a “squish”). We often get confused on whether or not we have crushes on all our friends. I always use outside variables. Not on how I feel about them, but more on ‘there are these that disqualify someone from me being in a romantic relationship with them’ (see ‘how can i tell im only attracted to {guys/girls/nb people/some combination}).

I saw something about how quoiromantic isn’t an orientation but just a modifier?

People who say this are the ones who say “you can be quoiromantic and arospec but it doesn’t make you arospec”. What they mean is “Must be This Sure to be Arospec™”. And it’s really just like “ok thanks! me, who cant tell the difference between romantic and platonic attraction, will just! check if I experience romantic attraction!” You can be quoiromantic and not consider yourself arospec (just like nonbinary people can consider themselves not trans). Quoiromantic is an arospec identity in the same way as nonbinary is a trans identity. Because of it, you are included unless otherwise specified.

Remmember that ‘Gender’ text

So, yeah.....

I wrote a text some time ago called gender, and I just recently red up on some different attractions and founds

Greygender

Greygender (graygender): a person who identifies as (at least partially) outside the gender binary and has a strong natural ambivalence about their gender identity or gender expression. They feel they have a gender(s), as well as a natural inclination or desire to express it, but it’s weak and/or somewhat indeterminate/indefinable, or they don’t feel it most of the time, or they’re just not that invested in it. They’re not entirely without a gender or gender expression, but they’re not entirely “with” it either, so to speak. In summary, they know they have a gender(s), but either it’s indefinable or they are just not invested in the concept of gender.  

And I need help

I don’t really care for what pronouns to use and if I call my self he, she, they, ey, fae, ve, xe, ze, zie I don’t feel any different.

If I call myself a boy or a girl or demi of a kind, I feel nothing no joy.

  Help, i don’t understand

i love them all ;; *BOLD/RED* = most used/favorite

I read a short horror story collection written by lgbtq+ authors, and by god was most of it shit, but that will not, and cannot stop me from making my dollar do double duty for the pursuit of progress. Buy books by and about trans people! Look into publishing houses which are invested in telling LGBTQ stories, and by god stop buying media that gives money to holocaust deniers.

Polyamory vs. Cheating

I want to preface this by saying that I’ve never been in a polyamorous relationship, nor am I polyamorous myself, and I’m fully open to constructive criticism, feedback, and discussion underneath this post with others who agree or disagree with what my opinion on this matter is. I’m always willing to listen and learn from people who may be more educated than me in regards to the topic at hand, and I’d love to hear an inside perspective on polyamory itself. Cheating, however, I will not tolerate. It’s also not something I’ve personally experienced, but I don’t have to have endured it in the past in order to know that it’s a horrible thing to do to someone.

I was recently watching an analysis on Loren and Faith’s relationship from 90 Day Fiance, and I got reminded of something that’s been a point of contention in the polyamorous community for as long as it’s been around, and even more so now that it’s a less stigmatized practice. (Of course, I’m not saying there’s no stigma at all, because that’s what I’m here to talk about, I’m just saying it’s a more open topic than it would have been, say, fifty years ago.) In their relationship, Loren was consistently cheating on Faith the entire time without explicitly telling her so or discussing it with her beforehand, then attempted to claim that he did tell her, she just didn’t understand him. Him “telling her” consisted of him messaging her that he was “staying” at someone else’s place by the way, his words not mine. In no way did he allude to a sexual relationship beyond implying that sleeping over is always indicative of sex. So, very obviously, this is cheating, yet Loren treats it as if it’s not a big deal because he, quote, “doesn’t believe in monogamy”. First of all, that’s a wild thing to say lacking context - second off, even if you don’t believe in it, you have to acknowledge that it’s something a lot of people do adhere to regardless of what you think of it. He should have discussed this with Faith on a deeper level, yet he didn’t even mention it to her in the duration of their six month relationship, in which he was literally sleeping with and talking to other people with the intention of sleeping with them. And the ENTIRE time he stays with her in the Philippines, he acts like she’s blowing it out of proportion, going so far as to mentioning in the talking head interview that she was probably gonna tell her family about it - which is a completely reasonable thing to do - and he has the absolute audacity to say it doesn’t paint him in a good light. He was worrying about his image and her family’s approval of him being in a relationship with her instead of the fact that he legitimately cheated on her and hurt her. 

This brings me to my main point, which is that there is a subgroup of people who identify as polyamorous, yet don’t tell the person they’re dating that fact, or that they’re seeing other people at the same time. Their partner is completely oblivious to this, which, on principle, is cheating, whether or not they know that person is polyamorous to begin with. Because even if that person is polyamorous, a conversation needs to be had where boundaries and expectations in the relationship are discussed before becoming romantically involved. Maybe the partner, in this situation, is aware of the person’s interest or connection with polyamory, but doesn’t know that they’re already in other ongoing relationships before and during the length of time in which they’re dating. Not letting them know that is not being honest and clear with them from the start, which is something they have the right to be upset about. Even in polyamorous relationships, boundaries and communication are important, as cheating can still happen within that space. Imagine, for instance, three people are all dating, and the third person starts dating someone outside of their throuple. They tell the second person about this, but not the first; that is cheating if it’s been discussed beforehand that they must tell each other before seeking out and/or establishing a new relationship. Even if it’s not discussed, it can still lead to harm and a loss of trust between those three people. There are so many nuances to polyamory, seeing as how much attention it’s getting nowadays beyond culture and religion - yet, common decency is still the same across the board. Some, not all, seem to like victim blaming when it comes to cheating in polyamorous relationships because they believe that it should be predicted and less of a big deal than it is in monogamy. I understand some people are uncomfortable of the idea of being in that kind of relationship themselves and how it may seem hard to them considering things like jealousy and possessiveness, but what I don’t see is why that should make those people so hostile and judgmental for those who can make it work in a healthy manner. I’m aware that a portion of people who are outright cheaters try to use polyamory as a scapegoat or an excuse for their actions, but those individuals shouldn’t come to represent the community as a whole, since it’s like every other community in which there are differences all around. Monogamists have divides within their community as well, and there are just as many toxic monogamist relationships as there are polyamorous, so the only reason polyamorists catch more flak is because it’s been historically treated as a terrible practice as a whole. I’m not saying that there weren’t unfair polygamous relationships forced onto people instead of chosen willingly - hell, they still exist today and they need to be recognized as such - but we’ve also been gradually learning and growing as a society. Good things can come out of the bad, and that doesn’t make the bad any less bad, it just makes the good more impressive when it does happen. 

I just felt like ranting today, I don’t know. I also don’t know how to end this… like and subscribe ig.. I say as NO ONE’S gonna see this
