"Enjoy the sodium desgraciadas"

i've said this before, but "living weapon/raised as a weapon" as a metaphor for the trauma of being assigned and raised Male goes incredibly hard

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

the real benefit to being a mad scientist is no one really knows what you're capable of. As long as I say it with confidence, why wouldn't you believe I made a ring that's actually a detonator to my security system that's filled with a deadly nerve agent? Is that really any less likely than me keeping a human brain alive and conscious inside a tube of green goo so I can later implant it into a body constructed out of stolen corpse parts?

"I reported her because she was posting NSFW without mature labels which is against TOS!!!" you'd narc on someone for having their tits out at a gay bar because it's illegal you simply are not trustworthy

ok to clarify

jewish gay pride flags, not associated with israel in any way and should be allowed to be flown by jews:

israeli gay pride flags, associated with the colonialist state of israel and should not be flown:

notice how the second set have the white bar in the middle like the israeli flag, or contain the israeli flag themself, while the first set is simply a pride flag with the star of david.
