Bisexuality is valid, not a fucking phase

Now, there are still a lot of people don’t understand bisexual, some people mistakenly believe that no bisexual, also some people mistakenly believe that everyone is bisexual, also some people say that bisexuality is just a phase, there are many wrong views like this. To the credit of, bisexuality is valid, not a fucking phase.

It’s crazy to think of the fact that forever and always and last kiss are about the same relationship… they’re such different songs

Happy Pride Month Eleanor Roosevelt was queer, the Little Mermaid is a gay love story, James Dean liked men, Emily Dickinson was a lesbian, Nikola Tesla was asexual, Freddie Mercury was bisexual & British Indian, and black trans women pioneered the gay rights movement.

Florence Nightingale was a lesbian, Leonardo da Vinci was gay, Michelangelo too, Jane Austen liked women, Hatshepsut was not cisgender, and Alexander the Great was a power bottom

Honestly just reblogging for that last one

Probably not historically backed but fuck yes

Freddie Mercury is well known for his attraction to men but was also linked to several women, including Barbara Valentin whom he lived with shortly before he died. Friends have talked about being invited into their bed and walking in on them having sex (documentary Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender) 

Jane Austin never married and wrote about sharing a bed with women (Jane Austen At Home: A Biography by Lucy Worsley)

i saw this post earlier about therapists and it reminded me of my old therapist paul, who in my opinion is one of the greatest men alive and who did not put up with my bullshit for even one second

anyway i go in to see paul one week in the summer of 2016, and i’m doing my usual bullshit which consists of me talking shit about myself, and paul is staring at me, and then he cuts me off and says that he’s got a new tool for helping people recognize when they’re using negative language, and gets up and goes over to his desk

and i’m like alright hit me with that sweet sweet self-help article my man, because i’m a linguistic learner and whenever paul’s like here i have a tool for you to use it’s pretty much always an article or a book or something

paul opens a drawer, takes something out, and turns back around. i stare.

i say, paul.

is that a nerf gun.

yeah, says paul.

i say, are you gonna shoot me with a nerf gun in this professional setting.

he happily informs me that that’s really up to me, isn’t it. and sits back down. and gestures, like, go ahead, what were you saying?

and i squint suspiciously and start back up about how i’m having too much anxiety to leave the house to run errands, like it was a miracle to even get here, like i’ve forgone getting groceries for the past week and that’s so stupid, what a stupid issue, i’m an idiot, how could i–

a foam dart hits me in the leg.

i go, hey! because my therapist just shot me in the leg. paul blinks at me placidly and raises an eyebrow. i squint again.

i say, slowly, it’s– not a stupid issue, i’m not stupid, but it’s frustrating me and i don’t want it to be a problem i’m having.

no dart this time. okay. sweet.

so the rest of the hour passes with me intermittently getting nailed with tiny foam darts and then swearing and then fixing my language and, wouldn’t you know it, i start liking myself a little more by the end of the session, which is mildly infuriating because paul can tell and he’s very smug about it 

anyway i leave his office and the lady having the next appointment walks in and i hear what’s all over the floor? and paul very seriously says cognitive behavioral therapy tools.

Over the past few years my mom has gone from the most active hard working person I’ve ever met to someone who can’t leave the couch. She’s lost 30 pounds, most of her memory and sight, and is in a constant extreme pain. The doctors have ran hundreds of test and never been able to find out the cause. Two nights ago we finally found out it is from an implant she got 20 years ago that is made of lead, Mercury, acetone, etc. it has slowly been poisoning her body. Of course insurance does not cover the removal and is nearing $20,000. Over the past couple years she’s helped me so much with my surgery that I would love to be able to surprise her with some on Christmas. I’ve never asked for donations but this is life threatening. They say within weeks of the surgery she could have over 75% of everything she’s lost back. It’s life changing. Please please please considering donating and sharing. Even if it is only $5. The downpayment to schedule the surgery is $1500 so that’s my minimum goal by Christmas.

Below is the link for my paypal for her.

I'd really like to see an intelligent feminist take down of jezebel and autostraddles taylor swift feminist nightmare posts. jezebel can be pretty problematic but i love autostraddle and riese i just think the post is off for many reasons. if you have the tme, could you take a look and do it? sorry if this is too much to ask

Hey, I would substitute “intelligent” with “critical thinking skills” because intelligence is an ableist concept, although I don’t feel comfortable, nor do I have the authority, to explain why.

I think I know the article you’re talking about but I wasn’t aware there were multiple authors. Are you talking about multiple articles that follow up on each other? Could you link them to me?

It’s been taxing running this tumblr by myself - the co-owner has been on a year long break and though I’ve talked to her over twitter, I don’t know when she feels like coming back - so I would really appreciate it if people would like to contribute points critically analysing the article/s in question?

I think I have one of the points saved into drafts about the article’s prude shaming and I’m happy to share if people would like to contribute to like a masterpost of points picking apart the article?

And as always, feel free to call me out if I get anything wrong!

Thanks for calling me out. Ableist language is so ingrained ugh.

@taylorswift cute feminist idea for you:

Call up Kesha to have her be one of your special guests. Show the world you’re on her side, and by association, any other victims of rape and/or abuse whose stories get dismissed too easily as “defamation”. Make as big of a “fuck you” statement to Dr. Luke and other abusers as possible while still making it appropriate enough for your young audience.

We already saw with the whole Apple Music thing how powerful your voice is when it comes to shaping the entire music industry. So many music industry execs are not taking Kesha’s story seriously, including the Billboard execs who demoted it to a single “who’s lying, Kesha or Dr. Luke?” question on a recent survey they handed out to music industry professionals. Really, though, it’s a high-profile example of a greater issue feminists are continually combatting.
