You know what queer story I'd love to see but anyone else would absolutely despise? Someone discovering they actually like the opposite gender by dealing with their past trauma. But god forbid bisexual people exist god forbid someone who identified as gay realizes the label didn't really fit them god forbid someone queer falls in love with a member of the opposite gender

This happened to me recently! I've always identified as a lesbian, but I met a guy a while ago whom I felt attracted to which has never happened before. It led to a small crisis, suddenly I didn't feel queer enough, I thought I was a liar who had deluded herself into thinking she was gay just to feel "special" or whatever the fuck. I'd already come out to most ppl as a lesbian, had I been deceitful? Did I have to come out again as bi to get clean?

But the label bisexual also doesn't quite fit. It's very rare for me to feel attracted to a man, and while I understand that being bisexual doesn't mean feeling 50/50 about gender attraction, most people who aren't queer do think of it that way, and that's not me at all.

The issue for me was that every single man that I had ever met was (in some way) bigoted, which put me off men entirely. It's gonna sound silly, but I truly didn't know that some guys were actually genuinely good people who won't try to trick you into thinking they are "nice guys". In theory I knew they existed lol, but I had never met one. My dad, my brother, my uncle, my grandpa, they're all homophobic and misogynistic. So when that's all you've ever known, when every single man in your life has at some point treated you or the people you love like shit, ofc you won't want to date them.

All this to say: you don't owe anyone any explanations. Not about your sexuality, not about your gender, not about how you choose to lead your life. This goes for transitioning or detransitioning, dating men, women, whoever. I decided to start using the word queer to describe myself, and no other term. I know some people will ask for more info, but I don't have to give it to them. It's my life.

You know what queer story I'd love to see but anyone else would absolutely despise? Someone discovering they actually like the opposite gender by dealing with their past trauma. But god forbid bisexual people exist god forbid someone who identified as gay realizes the label didn't really fit them god forbid someone queer falls in love with a member of the opposite gender

“To be a Jew is to take the risk of believing that the evils of this world are not inevitable or irremediable; that we can mend some of the fractures of humanity; that we, by loving others as God loves us, can bring the Shekhina into our lives, turning a little of the pride of the human condition into poetry and song.”

but for real just at the start of this year this video went viral of the head of the US Southern Command talking about how Argentina was an important location for them because of the lithium they wanted to extract, and now the president candidate that literally has "we are going to facilitate AND FINANCE the exploitation of our natural resources" in their government plan won, yey imperalism!

The cruelty of Milei’s government:

Milei is firing thousands of workers of the different offices of the State and, if is not cruel enough to leave thousands of families without financial security in the middle of a terrible economic crisis and even more thousands without the assistance and control that those offices provided, he fires people in the most vile ways. Email late at night saying that they don’t need to go to work the next day for example and  the most horrible of all, making people attend to their workplace and wait in a line until they check if they are still hired and can go in or are fired and have to leave. All under the sight of the police. Milei’s supporters are celebrating on twitter, they have the horrible fantasy that the pain of others will make their lives better, but they are wrong, we are all sinking together, it’s just that they are the only ones to blame. They are evil, they are cowards, they are miserables and stupids.

radiohead’s complicity in israeli-occupied palestine

my feelings on radiohead are complicated these days, as i’m sure they are for many. i'm using this post as a method of sorting out my own thoughts & to provide sources.

for me, the bottom line is this: radiohead is both a brand & a musical group. the brand of radiohead has always had deep roots in the israeli colonial project - they have played many, many shows there throughout their career. their breakout single - creep, was intially only a hit in israel (x, x) & the personal choices of some of radiohead's members remain just as involved. jonny greenwood met his future wife - the israeli artist, antivaxxer & vehement zionist (x) sharona katan - at a show radiohead played in israel in 1993 (x). jonny consistently collaborated with zionist musician shye ben tzur & his projects continue to tour in tel aviv as recently as last september. as for jonny himself - his only statement in regards to the war on gaza has been in mourning for the israeli concert goers on october 10th - w no such empathy spared to the 100,000 palestinians dead, injured, or missing. as for thom, while he’s thrown a few bitchfits (x) through the years abt criticism of radiohead’s shows in israel, he has imo - only paid lipservice to the criticism, saying “playing in a country isn’t the same as endorsing its government” going against the pleas of his peers & coworkers in the music industry. as well as the pro-palestine activism undertaken by his long term friend micheal stipe (x & x). (note: stipe stood by radiohead’s performance in israel in 2017, but his current political choices suggest his understanding of the situation has evolved). even his own son - noah yorke, a fellow working musician, has voiced his opposition to the genocide in gaza via instagram stories. as for the other members, rhythm guitarist ed o'brien has called for a ceasefire, as well as making a few tweets about "solidarity with palestinians & israeli peacemakers". while bassist colin greenwood reportedly refused to accept letters of dialogue from the fan-run organization radiohead fans for palestine. drummer phillip selway's commentary is similarly brief but defensive, saying radiohead's 2017 tel aviv concert "felt right"

to me, this paints a picture of a band who's members stances on israel range from abhorrent to simply not enough. & as a brand, their particular combination of action & inaction amounts to a fundamentally zionist perspective. you cannot separate radiohead as artists from radiohead as a brand name.

i've loved radiohead since i was 14. i was brought into it by another longtime fan. i cried & danced when i saw them live back in 2017 - it was, & remains, a moment that allowed me to live through the hardest parts of my life. i felt for the longest time, that radiohead's music & political positions encouraged my empathy - my questioning of conservative political authority. & while all celebrities are failures in some sense - it is still heartbreaking to know how wrong i was.

i don't think it's possible to disconnect the decade of connection & love i have for their music - I won't ask that of myself or anyone else. & the idea of scrubbing one's taste of the "morally impure" is useless effort & an inappropriate simplification of both art & our conceptions of what makes someone "bad". but i can say with certainty - i will not be giving them any more of my money, whether that be streaming their music or buying their merch - & i encourage you to do the same. silence is complicity - this is beyond silence.

in the words of nina simone - "an artist's duty, as far as i'm concerned, is to reflect the times. how can you be an artist and not reflect the times? that to me is the definition of an artist."
