in different contexts, butches and femmes are each other’s body guards. this has always been true for us. we keep each other safe and help one another move through the world. our love is a beautiful thing and so is our mutual aid!

Topologist lesbian who says she's a Stone-Čech butch.

You know what lemme just come back to this post because I (physically disabled, joint pain, cane user) was on a full train last night with the biggest heaviest backpack you could imagine bcs I’ve just become homeless and I was on my way to a friends house. I tried to ask people for a seat and got flat out ignored. Nobody would even look at me. It got to a point where I was literally shaking crying sobbing dry heaving resorting to begging “I’m really sorry everyone but can someone please give me their seat I have joint problems I’m in a lot of pain”, speaking to people directly “excuse me but you’re in priority seating and I’m disabled and I really need to sit down” and the only person in the whole train who would even LOOK at me while I was wheezing and clutching my stomach and sweating about to pass out in some of the most rancid pain I’ve ever felt in my life. was an old disheveled guy with a tic who was mumbling to himself. and he quietly tried to console me and convinced me to just sit on someone’s suitcase. I hope all the unnatural hair coloured pierced 20 somethings on that train that night ESPECIALLY never know peace for the rest of their fucking lives

You seriously can’t call yourself a leftist or a progressive or whatever if you can’t treat other people like actual human beings. I’ve had disheveled people who a lot of ppl would assume are homeless, be quicker to offer me a place to sit on a train than 20 somethings with unnatural hair color and “Be Gay do Crime” pins and stickers do that (esp when I injured my ankle coming back from work nobody except a mumbling elderly lady offered me their seat). They’re also not the ones who threaten to call cops on me when I’m taking foodstuffs from grocery stores! You can post about anarchy and being progressive and unhinged all you want but the fact that you would treat people who are physically disabled and in poverty this way makes you just as an awful person as anybody else

treating people kindly is an action, not an aesthetic.

It’s so uncreative and cowardly when designers refuse to make clothes for fat people. Sorry you’re bad at your job I guess.

I will no doubt regret wading into discourse, but I really don't get the whole people being mad about kink at pride thing. If you don't like it, look away. No one is forcing you to look.

No one is saying you have to like kink, or participate in any kinks, or wear kink gear in public. But whether you like it or not, kink is intimately intertwined with queer history and is a part of our culture. To remove kink from pride is to sanitize pride and erase that.

And that's before getting into how this helps the broader right wing moral panic about trans people (and queer people more broadly by extension). It feels like it's not a coincidence how there's simultaneously an attack on queer people as evil perverts who need to be excluded from public life and also a call from inside the house that those of us who engage in kink are evil perverts who need to be excluded from public life.

I'd also be remiss to not mention how this particularly targets trans women such as myself. It's been a transphobic attack strategy since the 1960s (at least) to claim that trans women existing is a kink ("autogynephilia"). When you oppose kink at pride, keep in mind that much of the world considers my very existence to be a kink, and how that correlates to the "groomer" panic.

i think more characters should have canes actually. theyre cool. theyre sexy. they can have swords in them. they come in any color u want.

alright I’m rbing to add onto this bc it’s getting way more attention than I ever expected and people seem to be more likely to check the rbs than the replies. plus I want people to be able to rb this version.

the point of this post is not swords. it is not how well someone can fight w a cane. the point is I want to see more disabled representation and I want to see characters who use canes and I want them to use them correctly and I want them to be just as fleshed out and interesting as their abled counterparts.

my cane user friend and I were talking abt sword canes just before I made the post so I tossed it in. I collect blades—knives, daggers, swords—and I’m also a disabled cane user who collects fancy canes. so I think combining the two is cool. I don’t even think they’d be good for self defense, I just think they’re a fun thing to show off to friends!

but this post has always, first and foremost, been abt mobility aids. this is abt being a young cane user who doesn’t see rep. I’d love to see highschool dramas where a character uses a cane but it’s not used to make u pity them, it’s just a regular part of their life. I wanna see fantasy cane users where the animal head handle speaks. I wanna see sci-fi cane users and cane users in romances and cane users in main roles.

I know abt canne de combat and bartitsu and the other fighting styles u can use a cane for. that’s never been what this post is abt. I just want to see myself in media.

everyone who rbs this version gets a kiss on the forehead

everyone who rbs any version that makes my post entirely abt weapons while ignoring the mobility aid part owes me a kofi bc ik for sure there’s enough of yall for me to afford crutches

help a broke disabled trans lesbian afford her meds

hey y'all so I'm still working on job hunting but in the mean time my meds are starting to run low and I need to get them refilled as quickly as I can, I need ~$250 to cover them! any little bit anyone can spare will help out a ton!

Them: “Are you dominant or submissive?”

Me: “I’m subversive. I will undermine the state and destroy capitalism.”

Listening to infodumps is great because it's like listening to a video essay or podcast but personalized great way to passively absorb information while out for stroll

Here's to the disabled people who aren't "succeeding despite their disability." The ones who aren't able to study or work. The ones without impressive skills. The ones who need a lot of support, treatment and accommodations just to manage basic self care. The ones who need economic support from loved ones and/or welfare and disability benefits. The ones who can't live independently. The ones who aren't "inspiring" anyone but are instead looked at with judgment and pity. I hope you know that you don't have to do or achieve anything whatsoever to be a worthy, valuable, good person.
