i feel like there's been this trend lately of people being upset that a queer storyline isn't catering specifically to what they personally want out of queer storytelling and i find it utterly baffling. it's like people see one piece of media do it in a way that speaks to them and their experiences and then when any other story does it differently in any way whatsoever, they're disappointed and view it as a failing. and that's just silly to me. the reason different pieces of media are doing it differently is because they are different. being queer is not a one size fits all situation. there is a reason that these stories are being told differently and that's good. the cut away from colin hughes coming out was not the righteous fury that james flint needed was not the soft oh moment that stede bonnett needed was not the building realization and catharsis that nick nelson needed was not the monumental unburdening that castiel needed was not the quiet broken admission that chiron needed was not the loud acceptance and declarations that eric effiong need was not the–

until i recently read posts on here about how there is an inherent queerness to the doctor and rose's relationship in how it's unspoken and filled with yearning that i'd never really considered that element, despite knowing for ages that RTD is gay but. man. it's just reframed a lot of the series for me, like the idea that you have this lonely man who's just watched his people die and is self-destructive and misanthropic and traumatised and he can love again and he wants to but it has so many risks.
but especially S3 and how it adds even more weight to the doctor's grieving widower status. how he tells martha that he and rose were together but martha refers to rose as a friend to tallulah; the fact that he can only say they were together once she is gone; how the only other person that both can feel how he feels but also understands the depth of his feelings is jack, a queer man himself. and I've been thinking to myself lately oh, it's ok, the doctor and rose probably accidentally got married on at least one planet or something but also the point is that there was no official title that could convey to people the extent that they meant to each other, that the doctor can really only tell donna that rose was his friend even though it is so wholly inadequate and she comes to see that by the end of the episode (and martha too of course). how people who saw the doctor and rose together assumed they were a couple, like on krop tor, but once there's no more physical evidence of the relationship it becomes more vague (and simultaneously clearer).
anyway something about how christopher eccleston said he based his portrayal of nine on RTD and something about RTD saying that his husband is "in every good man i write now" and how the doctor and ruby seeing each other in the club mimics his first meeting with his husband aka the one moment he would use a time machine to go back to hmmm

"can I be [x gender] if I..." "can I still call myself [x term] if..." yes. yes. if you like the term then use it. do whatever you want forever. labels are just little words we use to categorize our infinitely complex existential experiences on this floating rock !! no two people who use the same label are going to experience it the same way and that's the beauty of it !! use "contradictory" labels, use labels that don't make sense to anyone, change your label every day or not at all, explore anything and everything, use no labels at all or every label under the sun, confuse people or correct them or let them assume things rather than explaining, I promise nothing other people think about your identity is worth your happiness !!

Buy a patch, help me pay my rent
$25 CAD
Only 25 of each design available, 50 total
Click me for Etsy link
I have moved from Germany to Canada, where my mom had been homeless for 3 months. I placed myself in homelessness with her and we stayed in a shelter for 1 month. We have:
✅found housing (after 30+ viewings that all rejected her)
✅gotten hired (mom increased to full time, I have found part time)
✅registered with every assistance program we can
However, after fronting the deposit and first month's rent and all the bills myself, I'm worried about making ends meet at the end of the month. Mom is escaping an abusive relationship and has very little.
I'm having iron-on patches printed by a local business and they're currently past the proof stage. They will be 4x4 inches big and will look absolutely sick on your jacket. Or your jeans. Or your bag.
If you go buy a patch, I'll send it in the mail to you as soon as they're done(could be a couple weeks). You will be supporting me and my mom getting back on our feet. And you'll have a badass new patch.

what if we stopped devoting time and energy to discussing who should be excluded from the queer community and instead focused on the people trying to kill us

also it’s not a coincidence that a lot of the ppl who are weirdly obsessed with me and my ramblings are white, and that a lot of the ppl who are also targeted by their harassment are jewish or not white. when your entire worldview, including your view of things like gender and transness and oppression, is based in your own experience of racial and cultural whiteness, jewish and non white voices threaten that. when that happens, you have two choices: change your worldview or lash out. and historically white gentiles have always chosen the latter.

I don’t think Joel is homophobic or “against” The Gays, but rather just. doesn’t quite understand queer culture or anything about. And it’s so funny cause like, in tlou 2 when Dina kissed Ellie, he was just like... “i don't know what the words are.... or how any of that dynamic workds but uh... yea... if this girl likes you Ellie thats ok with me.” And now in the show, when Joel and Tess meet Bill & Frank, Joel so desperately wants to connect with Bill on how their partners make decisions for them, but like... doesn’t know how to refer to their relationship. You can see on his face, Joel’s like “Not.. wife... parnter??? person?? h... husband,???” so he just says... “if mine (as in my person i guess) did that” LIKE that shit is so funny. Two braincells Joel
