queerbookclub:
This is partially a commentary on how silly it is to be prejudiced against book whose characters are younger than you and partially just a story because I have never had a forum to tell this story. I remember one time in fourth grade during library period we were given the option to listen to audiobooks, but there was only one player. It had two headphone ports, so we could listen...

BMO has been confirmed to be genderless.[6] BMO is referred to as “M’lady” by Finn in “Conquest of Cuteness”, but Adam Muto has stated this doesn’t mean anything.[7] When being referred to by Finn, he will use masculine pronouns. When referred to by Princess Bubblegum, she will use feminine pronouns.[8]
This is further evidenced in “Fionna and Cake” when BMO is briefly seen in the...

do you use goodreads? it’s a really nice low-investment way to keep track of books and reviews.
I do! It’s really useful and I think being able to keep track of what I’m reading and how far along I am has really encouraged me to read more. And it’s really useful as a library employee who...

The full text of a love letter from the Fully Functional Cabaret:
“Dear Trans Women,
I love you because sometimes you’re weird looking the way I’m weird looking and you understand that weird looking and bad looking aren’t always the same. I love you because you’re beautiful, not in a “we are all the special and perfect creations of a loving god,” kind of way. You’re...

I just viewed a silly NBC slideshow on Comic Con (there sure were costumes huh!) because the image associated with it was of Homestuck cosplayers, but they didn’t mention them specifically. It made me realize that I really want to read a mainstream journalist trying to figure out Homestuck. I want to read that so bad
from now on when authors insist on describing people as having “perfect cheekbones” I am going to mentally add “TO KILL” or maybe “FOR THE JOB” and envision every normatively beautiful character as having a face ridged with razor-sharp bone spikes

dang, last two otherwise totally lovely social engagements ended in shit gender encounters. the first was uncomfortable but just kind of amusing, this dude couldn’t wrap his head around buying pink stuff for a baby boy. but last night there was someone being openly cruel to a transgender person not present and the only other person in the room who knew the person not present was trying to...

is there a word for the feeling of gratitude towards the universe that “Somebody That I Used To Know” came out after you’d moved on from That Particular Situation Which It Perfectly Fits Oh My God You Don’t Even Know and you don’t have to live with constant reminders/playlist regrets I don’t know, gotyetude or something

Internet stranger hugs if you’d like them. And a request for lesbian romance novel recs if you have the time;)
Thanks for the hugs, though I of all people will be fine. When I say “lesbian romance novel” it should be known I don’t mean “heart-warming adult love story” or even...

15 Fucked Up Things About The Laci Green Situation
garlandgrey:
It is fucked up that people are ascribing death threats to “social justice” Tumblrs. I find it highly unlikely that anyone involved in Tumblr criticism of Laci Green sent her those threats, especially since criticism of cis white* lady bloggers tends to grind to a halt after such threats and the original critics inevitably get blamed for making them and have abuse heaped upon...

god everything is too upsetting to internet

Queer Events and Trans Women
tobitastic:
Queer events rarely have a strong showing of trans women. There are many reasons: historical exclusion, present day exclusion, ineffectively promoted inclusion, and sometimes it’s just not worth the $10 or $20 door fee to gamble whether or not everyone there will ignore you.
So I’ve worked with a few queer events. Try to make them more explicitly inclusive. Try to get trans women...
