Normalize drawing a picture of that stranger in public instead of nonconsensually taking their photo and posting it online.

@MrsJellySantos I was so confused by the wording of this tweet, and I see I'm not the only one, lol. Y'all, the staff insisted on taking the cake to the back of the restaurant & cutting it where the table couldn't see. They cut/served really thin slices. Then they said that was the whole cake.

I actually would expect this from furries much more than I would from the main orgs our society tells us to expect it from.
A furry con being canceled to use the con space for homeless and injured people after a hurricane is not a timeline I ever expected.

I believe "the transphobes are wrongly assuming muscular cis women are trans" is a fundamental misunderstanding of transphobia and cisnormativity. To them, cis women who don't conform to their standards of womanhood are not women.

One I've seen a lot is "why can't you microwave a frozen meal" and add someone who somewhat regularly eats microwaved frozen meals, I can tell you it involves much more than just taking something out of the freezer and putting it in the microwave for a few minutes!.
I see people saying things like βcanβt cook a meal but can answer the door to get deliveryβ & I want to scream. Only someone whoοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½s had good health their whole life would make a comment like that. Theyβre two completely different activities that require vastly different effort /7.

Please, PLEASE reconsider using the word "clean" to describe someone who's sober OR someone who has no STIs. It directly implies that the opposite state is dirty. Which perpetuates the stigma we should all be fighting.

@jonathanmb32 There are definitely times when it's okay, or even necessary, for children to disobey their parents, and if you aren't teaching your kids how to think & make good decisions and why what you want them to do is in their best interest, you aren't doing your job as a parent.

I doubt anyone who follows me needs to hear this, but: BDSM is not abuse. Abuse is abuse. Sometimes BDSM is done in an abusive way. Sometimes vanilla sexual activities are done in an abusive way. Abuse is not inherent to BDSM. Informed and ongoing consent is always key.

We all need to remember that just *feeling* unsafe is not evidence of actual danger. If you're white &, consciously or subconsciously, believe Black people are violent, you'll feel unsafe around Black people, even when you aren't in danger.

Hi fellow whites. If Black people often come across to you as rude, angry, dismissive, etc., it's a sign that you're perceiving them through a lens of racist stereotypes that was instilled in you by growing up in a white supremacist culture, and you need to work to reverse that.

If it isn't your personal identity, FINE. But stop trying to take it away from other individuals and from the community as a whole. It's fucked up. No one should have to apologize for using it in its positive sense: "queer community," "queer people," "queer theory," etc.

Levonorgestrel, aka Plan B, is not just for thin people. It "may be less effective if you weigh 155 pounds or more, or have a BMI of 30 or higher" (we all know BMI is meaningless for anything re individuals, right?) - and the "may be" there is because it's just a correlation.

I will look up receipts on this tomorrow, but the idea that it's not reclaimed and should be treated like a slur again is coming from TERFs trying to divide the community. Queer is an inclusive term. Take away the word that unites us and it's easier to turn us against each other.
