No Potato-brained Idiot Can Convince Me That Queer Could Ever Be A Slur, But If Any Asshat Actually Tried

no potato-brained idiot can convince me that queer could ever be a slur, but if any asshat actually tried to tell me that, they better believe that my identity is not the only part of me ready to be a threat

Not queer as in "queer is not a slur" but queer as in "I do not give a fuck if its a slur, you don't get to censor my identity regardless". Queer as in "I HOPE my identity upsets you". Queer as in "my identity is not only a slur but a threat"

my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology

The way the guy simply said ‘I am happy.’

And the other one came around with ‘But, Jesus-’, as though Jesus had ever stood in the way of anyone’s simple happyness and acceptance of self, as though Jesus hadn’t fought for society to accept and welcome their outcasts.

Sometimes, modern christianity really needs to look at how God said ‘Love everybody’ and at the point at which they stopped doing that.

This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy

Simple, touching art for a simple, touching story. Thank you

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

there really are no consequences for being wrong about your gender, orientation, etc. for a while, btw. if you try something and it just doesn't fit, it's better to have tried and found out than to be left wondering.
