From a queer elder…

Being queer isn’t supposed to be palatable to non-queers.

We don’t tick little squares on a checklist of “queer enough”, we obliterate the checklist.

We defy societal norms that say our bodies, families or relationships have to look a certain way.

Queer is the insult we took away from oppressors. We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

The people who hate us will hate us regardless of how palatable we make ourselves.

Stop licking fascist boots by policing queers who are queer in different ways than you.

Oh, someone is bi/pan trans lesbian with he/him pronouns? So what! They’re welcome on the rainbow. Their identity doesn’t have to make sense to you, it has to make sense to them.

Our identities don’t make sense to non-queers. They see us as unnatural and disgusting, so why are you turning around and crapping that same garbage out at your own community??

Once you drive the visible queers underground, the same people who hate us all will target you next. Nobody will defend you because you drove away everybody who would have.

Enough already!

— sincerely, an old queer.

The absolute joy of having a theater all to yourselves so you can react however you want to a movie. Went with three friends to go see Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves in theaters yesterday, and it was a grand time. The friend that doesn't typically enjoy fantasy loved it, other friends loved it, I loved it. We were laughing and clapping and yelling. I had more context than them from tumblr, and waiting for some scenes to happen to see their reactions was fun. I can only echo all the good sentiments I've heard about it. Edgin and Holga's platonic relationship and co-parenting gave me life. It was fun to see the shapeshifting sequences come to life on screen, and I liked the practical effects of the non-human characters. And Edgin's continuing belief in Simon was lovely. Also the fact that it was not bloody. It could have been so bloody, but they decided not to do that and I thank them for it because I am not great with the level of blood and gore in most fantasy media put out these days. Overall, ten out of ten movie, and I was glad I went to see it.
