🚨 URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST 🚨
Kalix, a disabled butch lesbian, recently suffered severe burns that resulted in the need for amputation, hospitalization and rehab. Needing $ for out of pocket medical costs and to support animals as they recover
You all REALLY need to listen to Deaf people because we've been screaming about how this technology is neither useful nor truly accessible. Half of these signs were wrong.
There needs to be a discussion about how Ballroom was created SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE white gays & queers pushed us out of their spaces. It was created as a space for queer black & brown people to survive and have a safe community of their own.
Contact your reps. Urge them to support this bill and get us out of poverty. Give us marriage equality. Let us work without penalty; especially as our workforce dwindles from
#LongCovid
and other disabling effects from the pandemic.
Do. Not. Wait. We need you.
Acting like we have to be accepting and sit here with open arms as they infiltrate and try to claim a space created SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THEIR BIGOTRY is incredibly out of touch. Too much of ballroom culture has already been watered down.
Celine Dion has lost control of her muscles following battle with stiff-person syndrome, her sister reports:
“What breaks my heart is that she's always been disciplined. She's always worked hard.”
@chimppower1
Logistics of use, price, the fact that this is very much one sided and in favor of hearing people (giving them the least amount of work in this scenario, per usual), and ignorant of most ways we prefer to communicate with those who don't know SL (writing, typing, texting)
As a disabled stud, I truly hope femmes mean what they say about caring for, loving, and protecting (not only physically) ALL butches and studs.
That includes when we are chronically ill, when we cannot live up to a "strong saviour" trope, and when we need time for recovery.
Real talk: I hate when people describe attributes that are butch (chivalry, care, community, existing comfortably outside of heteronormative standards and patriarchal ideals) and label it "soft" or "teddy bear" masc
NOTE: 1. My usage of brown was specifically to honor afro-latino and other non-yt latinos who helped pioneer ballroom, not anyone else.
2. My pfp is an actor I am a fan of, not me. I'm a negro. Hope that helps.
🚨DO NOT SCROLL 🚨
Remember this?
A NEW BILL for 2024 has been introduced. PLEASE take action for the thousands of disabled individuals who NEED this.

The herd mentality is also incredibly aggressive on the psych. There's been times where I've been intimidated into not masking - despite being high risk and knowing better. It's frustrating, aggravating, and isolating.
If you consider yourself an ally, or just generally a good person who cares about disabled people - the largest minority you can join at ANY time - and wish we could afford things like clothes, food, transportation, rent, ect. This is how you can help:
I want to look more cunt but I live in forced poverty by the US government because they don't believe disabled people should be able to afford anything other than bare necessities which we still rely on other government and state funding for :(
I am not a "soft stud", "soft butch" or "teddy bear/girlypop masc". These mindsets are harmful and a way of othering yourself from those "big mean burly" stereotypes all while doing a disservice to the wide variety of lesbian expression and masculinity
I absolutely hate that damn TikTok app and how certain lesbians have made lesbian masculinity seem synonymous with being obnoxious, toxic, and egocentric
I feel like a broken record when I say this but sexual trauma and/or dysphoria aren't the only "valid" reasons to be stone (nor are they something to "heal" someone from, but that's a different discussion).
A boundary is a boundary regardless of the reason behind it. Respect it.

Listening to Deaf people, first of all, which everyone interacting with this tweet has done a piss poor job at doing.
But taking time and understanding Deaf people's preferred methods of communication (writing, texting, interpreters, caption) and actually accommodating them
I hope everyone knows I went years being ashamed of the fact that I thought Tigress was attractive as a kid only to find out every lesbian and their gay mother wanted to rail her
1. Stud is specifically for BLACK LESBIANS
2. Femme and Butch are also common in ballroom culture and that should be understood/explored within context.
Please stop making frilly-cute-somewhat slasher and/or generally "palatable" fem lesbian shows/movies/content. I want something disgusting and gritty and bloody and morally ambiguous with STUDS and butches and butches of color
It's been brought to my attention that the SSI Penalty Elimination Act, the current bill for 2023, has erased most of our goals for SSI Restoration. Most notably our goal for marriage equality, raised SSI funding, and updated income restrictions.
I'm infuriated.

A butch is made of teeth and claws, of chivalry and grit, of smoke and desire and audacity. And when many would shy from this bold display, a femme yearns for it. For their hearts are a safe place for a butch to reside.
Like, you MEAN butch. And you can say that. Butch isn't a dirty word. You want a butch. You want the attention of butches. Maybe you are butch; yet you're too deep into the whole "butches are big mean and scary!" mentality that you can't open your eyes, a webpage or a damn book
@bluebirdblueboi
It's even more frustrating when you're living in a black household that thinks THIS is the way to fix it. Instead of, you know, dismantling the whole shit.
"I hate when lesbians focus on male/mlm media" maybe modern media should stop demonizing, degrading and/or straight up ignoring masculine lesbians & lesbians of color and then we won't have to idk
I love pillow princesses. If pillow princesses have 1 million fans, I am one of them. If pillow princesses have 5 fans, i’m one of them. If pillow princesses have 1 fan, that’s me. If pillow princesses have 0 fans, then I have died
It's

, and I'm a black Texan. Feel free to send some $ to ensure safety and freedom despite the government still denying disabled individuals marriage equality and financial freedom
If anyone wants to help out with me (Black, Deaf-Disabled) and little one's (working service dog) travel/food/general happiness and well-being for this next week
I absolutely hate that damn TikTok app and how certain lesbians have made lesbian masculinity seem synonymous with being obnoxious, toxic, and egocentric
I feel like as much as being Butchfemme is connected to our history, we must also be open and acknowledging of current understandings of gender/sexuality and the expansions of it being included NOW which will turn into our future history
i get that i’m 6ft but we are equally masc/fem she’s not some hyperfem kpop damsel archetype compared to me 😭 idk how i’m constantly getting boxed into gender extremes 😭
Femme4Femmes legitimately scare me as a stone stud. Because I find that they're the most likely to 1. Push boundaries regarding sex & intimacy and 2. Lean heavily into racist rhetoric alongside their hate for mascs/butches/studs + their transphobia
At this point I think lesbians should stop explaining each and every specific about their attraction. "I'm a lesbian" is enough. It's a full answer.
And I firmly stand by if a gay man wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of their attraction, you shouldn't have to either.
If you're grateful I put this on your tl please consider sparing a dollar so this black disabled butch lesbian can do this for you and just generally afford medical + travel + working dog expenses 🙏🏽
Here is another way you can contact your reps with a prewritten message. It takes maybe five minutes of your time, and will change the lives of disabled individuals in every part of the country. Do not wait. We need you
People are in my DMs asking to discuss things and/or otherwise reaching out to me for guidance.
Please know that is free emotional labor you are wanting me to do.
I don't have that.
If you want something answered or discussed enough, use my K0f|
@mariesmoreaus
Can't wait for the absolute read from Jordan next season where they point out Cate mind wiped Luke AND Sam and kept them in that fucked up Mengele clinic and now he's her little guard dog
"Get prepared", "Build your community", "Start getting ready" and yet none of y'all have shown any outward support or acknowledgement of those of us who are disabled and rely on this fuckass government. Nothing. Not a WORD.
To those who liked this tweet; I hope you're doing the additional work to confront your own ableism and understand how disability advocacy intertwines with ALL current events and political policies.
@laymagdalene333
It must also be understood, however, that the systems in place make it incredibly hard to have the means to organize and take action in revolutionary ways. People are barely affording to eat and are fighting to make it paycheck to paycheck.
Lesbians who look at Butchfemme and Studfemme relationships with distaste should know that Butchfemme & and Studfish/broad/femme dynamics shaped, influenced and protected what it meant to BE a lesbian in the first place
Actually y'all do NOT want to get me started on now nonblack lesbians as a whole treat studs...like we ain't done shit yet somebody always on our ass??
TW/CW : HATE CRIME, DEATH
This should enrage the community. It is not lost to me that the uprise in the deaths (and murders) of transgender and queer individuals is happening just as bills and bans are being passed regarding us and our bodies.
Alex Franco, 21, was a Trans man who was abducted and murdered on Mar. 17, 2024 in Taylorsville, Utah. Alex's body was found in the desert on Mar. 19, 2024. Two teenagers have been charged with his murder.
Rest in Peace, Alex. 🙏💜

And they have no support. No pain medications, no access to prosthetics or physical therapy, no way of accommodating their bodies and new needs. It's heartbreaking. They deserve so much more. Each and every person.
