on redbubble!!

EDIT: Obviously terfs found this and reported it until it got taken off of redbubble because they have nothing better to do, so in the meantime, it's available as a risograph print on my Etsy!

ID: a digital drawing of a black dog in sketchy pencil. its leaping forward, held back by a leash, its teeth bared, blood dripping from its jaws and splashing underfoot. in a serif font in all caps it reads "good boys maul transphobes". end ID

happy pride month to any queer intersex babes 💜💛

[ID: A bright yellow background with purple, shadowed text that reads the "i" is not for invisible. End ID]

me, dejectedly repositioning the scissors away from the surgery site: aw, man...

ID: warning sign that says 'Notice: This post is about textile sewing not sutures' with the yellow and black warning triangle with an exclamation mark on it. The symbol is sectioned off to the side. The 'Notice' is white on a blue background, with its own section. The rest of the text is black, and takes up the rest of the sign. end ID

“Temporary stitches” all stitches are temporary if you have a pair of scissors and aren’t a coward

I feel like it isn't talked about enough how traumatizing growing up with intermittent explosive disorder is. I've had this self image of monstrousness metaphorically beaten into me from a very young age, constantly told that it's all my fault if things escalate from somebody triggering my anger, how I just don't have enough control over my emotions and that's the only issue. Never mind the shit people expect me to just take and accept, it's MY fault if I explode because apparently my needs and feelings don't matter at all.

And then I'M the one who has to apologize for hurting the other party's feelings, as if that crime wasn't committed by them onto me as well. I won't apologize to someone who isn't remorseful for hurting me, I don't care how much I hurt them in return. You backed the coyote into a corner and get surprised when it attacks. My ability to not accept bullshit anymore has been labeled as 'going backwards in recovery' because that 'recovery' was just being told to bottle up everything and walk on eggshells, and I'll be damned if I'm going to do that anymore.

that is so fucking insulting. The history of queer identity, 'outdated' or not, is still important to take into account, especially when people still identify with certain identities used in history!

Imagine walking up to a queer elder and telling them they need to change their identity because it's 'outdated' and therefore invalid because the tumblr brigade of teenagers said so. How insulting and arrogant, to write off queer history as 'outdated' and brush it off.

I know to be an exclusionist you have to be close minded, but holy shit that take is so far gone. And fun fact, that book was published in 19. fucking. 93. That was not that long ago in the grand scheme of things! I dare say it's even recent!

I don't like queer discourse because it shouldn't exist but I came across a post yesterday where someone was like "I hate when pro mspec lesbians tell me to read stone butch blues it's outdated" ????????? Queer. Queer history is outdated???? HUH?
