not to Discourse but I’m a cis man and my partner is an afab enby and if you call us a “straight couple” I will personally come to your house tie you to a chair and make you listen to a podcast about gender identity on endless repeat

dragon-in-a-fez

this is specifically @ the people who saw us at pride together and saw them wearing a “THEY/THEM” button and still referred to them as my “girlfriend” you’re all cancelled thanks

it’s called respecting queer people juice

y'know the really amazing thing about the notes on this post - apart from just the sheer number of people who are, like, viscerally terrified of the existence of a person who isn’t cis - is how many of them are responding to things that aren’t here. specifically, you’ll notice I said nothing about my sexuality. I didn’t say I identified as non-het, or that I considered myself part of the LGBTQIA community. on the flip side, I also didn’t give you any reason to believe I’m not bi, or that I’ve never been in a relationship with a cis man. y'all know nothing about my sexuality from this post and you don’t need to and I’m not going to tell you about it now because! this post! was not! about me!

it was about respecting my partner’s identity. and the fact that they don’t get that respect from people in the exact community that they should be able to count on getting it from.

ie, you.

they are not het or cis, and no relationship they are in will ever be a “straight relationship” because they. are not. het. or. cis.

everyone in the notes gatekeeping me because I’m “not oppressed”? I never said I was. the person you’re really attacking and invalidating by shitting on this post is them, a pansexual nonbinary person who is unerasably queer.

huh. it’s almost as if the whole “we can’t let straight men use queerness to worm their way into our community” discourse is just an excuse to hate trans people, isn’t it.

Dont do that

Actually, do that, it’s my post and I’m tired of people getting territorial on my behalf on them. :)

Edit: of course the person who added the ‘don’t do that’ comment is a TERF who misgenders and harasses trans women. In case it weren’t any more clear who’s trying to divide our community.

tbh spider-man is such a chill superhero you could ask him to escort you home bc you don’t feel safe and he’d be like ‘ok sure no sweat’ I’m sure he’d even help you with your groceries meanwhile the other avengers be like ‘the world isn’t in danger so you don’t need my help’

Thor would help with your groceries fight me

nebulaires

you are abso-fucking-lutely right

This is such a weird post because it FEELS right. You’re nodding, yeah yeah, totally. That’s how superheroes are. And it holds together until you think about any given member of the avengers

Thor? Thor would LOVE to escort you home, and would help get stuff to that top shelf you have trouble reaching.

Cap? I mean, Steve Rogers is practically defined by his willingness to carry your groceries for you.

Iron Man? Look, getting Tony Stark to take your groceries home is the easy part. It’s getting him to stop that’s the trick; he wants to build you an automatic grocery-carrying drone or set up a recurring home delivery order that’s charged to his account. After you turn down his offer to buy you a new house, you wake up the next morning to find that he’s paid off your student loans and pledged $10,000/month to your Patreon.

Hulk? Bruce would be in tears if someone came up to him and asked for an escort home because they feel safer with him nearby. He’d name his next discovery after you.

Hawkeye? He’d walk you home, telling you dumbass dad jokes the whole time, and teach you some ASL. Then he’d put all your groceries away and show you how to make a pot roast.

Black Widow? Well, OK, she might not walk you home. But she would fuck up anyone and everyone in your neighborhood who made you feel unsafe. There’d be bullies on your block who would cry every time they even thought about catcalling.

And idk. I feel like maybe the problem is in our relationship to superheroes – that we think of them saving the world, and we forget that most good is done at street level.

Or maybe what Spiderman has is some kind of relatability. Because the OP does feel right. Any of the avengers would help us … but Spiderman is the only one we would ask to help us. Because he feels like a friendly neighborhood buddy. And maybe that’s a superpower on its own.

The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks

Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages

Oh, my hand
The parchment is very hairy
Thank God it will soon be dark
St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing
Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink
Oh d fuckin abbot
Massive hangover
Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job
Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night
If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral
I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today
Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark
11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again
Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God
If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen

a-spoon-is-born

an abbot is the head of a monastery so it just means “fuck my boss” basically, an abbreviation of “O damned fuckin Abbot”. this is what it looks like:
