“I think the experience gap between a 19 year old and a 35 year old is too large to result in a healthy romantic relationship without a power imbalance,” I say.

I pause.

“But of course I’d date a 3,000 year old shapeshifting dragon demi-god if the opportunity arose. Why do you ask?”

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.

hey I saw the bi woman using butch/femme post you reblogged and I just wanted to let you know that bi woman can't use butch/femme. Butch/femme is more than a label, it's part of lesbian culture. An aspect of it is being yourself and dressing and acting how you like But Not For Men, only for other lesbians. It's all about the complete exclusion of men. If bi woman are attracted to men, how can they be part of this culture?

Butch and femme identities have existed since a time when differentiating between lesbians and bi women wouldn't have been as crucial and common as simply making it known you were a woman interested in other women.

They are not part of a lesbian culture. They're part of the culture of women who love women.

That is our link and our solidarity. That we are women who love women. Cis women, trans women, lesbians, bi women, pan women, we are all unitied in our love and in our struggle.

When queer bars and groups faced violence and oppression in the past, do you think police and homophobes stopped and said "all the bisexual women here may leave. We'll only assault the lesbians." Do you think that'd happen now?

Get a grip. Bi and lesbian history is intrinsically and irrevocably intertwined.

On a personal note, the bi community is precious to me because I identified as bi for years before I realized I'm a lesbian, and my bi community supported me every step of the way and celebrated me when I came out as a lesbian. I don't identify as bi anymore of course, but that identity was an important stepping stone that will always be a part of me. Many others have gone through the same journey. Others start out identifying as lesbians, then realize they're bi. Do their butch or femme identities suddenly disappear? Does some lisence get revoked?

For reasons like this, the bi and lesbian communities are again, linked on a fundamental level that can't be separated.

I appreciate and understand that you see butch and femme as identities which exist to deny the involvement of men.

However, for me, these identities exist to focus on the involvement of women.

That includes bi women.

You're so focused on a bisexual woman's attraction to men that you forget her love for women.

You need to learn your own history.

Drawing study of our homeless dear teacher, Eraserhead  I perhaps enjoyed a little too much drawing him all bruised (Please don’t repost in other websites without permission)

Ok but Zuko using the knowledge he acquired during his banishment to help him as the Fire Lord. Like making small talk with Earth Kingdom dignitaries about their local foods that he enjoyed and even misses. Like having in-depth conversations with his captains about sea currents and navigation. Like, in the middle of a meeting with several high-ranking naval officials, pointing out flails in security, like how a person can cling to a Fire Nation ship for hours at a time, or climb aboard using hatches on the upper decks, or disguise themselves as a lower ranking guard with easily accessible spare armour….

Though none of his experiences can prepare Zuko for the long, awkward silence that comes after he admits to doing or at least knowing something illegal and/or completely buck wild
