Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.
Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.
There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.
Posting this here because i have more followers/reach.
there is a senior at my school who has been messaging freshmen & sophomores sexually, trying to solicit sex, flirting with them etc. he’s 18-19 and the people he’s been messaging are anywhere from 13-16. two of my friends have restraining orders against him that he repeatedly ignores; touching them in class, talking to them & following them despite repeated requests to stop. he has sexually assaulted one person that I know of. please report his account.
