nonbinary terms thingy thought
when people say that enby is just an abbreviation of non binary and not a seperate term, this is kinda easy to prove wrong. people identify as "an enby", people dont identify as "a non binary"
just because it originated as a way of saying nb while avoiding confusion with non black, doesnt mean in its current usage, it still means the same thing
it's cool to use as a label for urself
but its not hard to accept it doesnt apply to all non binary people, *especially* when they ask u not to.
re: kink, corruption //
I feel like we (broadly, the sex-positive) have gotten to a point where a demon seducing someone into a life of hedonistic debauchery hardly counts as "corruption" any more, and to get that equivalent of that old fantasy you'd have to tell a story about someone put through mindbreak to the point where they tremble in rapturous ecstasy from singing hymns in the choir, and want nothing more in life than to bake cookies for charity fundraisers.
it's the british baking show. this seasons fan favorite is Olwen, daughter of Pwynn, a breton time traveler from pre-roman cornwall. for every challenge she listens to the instructions with confusion, shrugs, takes out a hand mill and a griddle and makes einkorn or barley meal bannocks. they're fucking delicious
The Festival of the Babes is a yearly lesbian soccer tournament held on a rotating basis across a handful of West Coast cities.
The eligibility for participation in the festival is as follows:
“Although primarily lesbian players make up the teams, the tournament is open not only to lesbians, but to anyone who does not mind being mistaken for one.”
I love that inclusive language and I want to use variations of it for everything.
“Although primarily trans women makeup my open video call, it is open to anyone who does not mind being mistaken for one.”
swastika, indigenous-jewish solidarity, +
I think a lot about this moment. In 1940, in the middle of the Second World War, several Native American peoples gathered to make this statement that they would no longer use the Swastika because its meaning had been polluted to a hate symbol. It had been in use for centuries among their peoples as a positive symbol, but they laid it aside in a gesture of support for the victims of fascism abroad.
it's such a powerful symbolic gesture, in the most literal sense, of solidarity. As a Jew, this is the level of solidarity I aim to return to indigenous folks around the world who have been crushed by imperialism every bit as much as the Jews were crushed by the Nazis.
a bug, not a feature.
