My brother brought the girl who he kinda has a situation ship with (they’re friends but he wants but she doesn’t but he does everything for her) to our home to play poker, she gave Christmas gifts to my mom, my dad my brother and none for me…
Edit: oh great, my mom (who did think it was wrong) asked my brother and he told her that she (the friend) forgot…
What makes me more upset is that the whole time that she bought the presents for them, my brother was with her. He could have fucking told her to get something for me and yet…

I just. I don’t really want to keep talking about it, but I have to get these feelings out because the more I think about Somerton’s excuses video the angrier I get, ESPECIALLY given his insistence in the video that there isn’t a real community within LGBTQ spaces—specifically this quote; “We wanted it to be a channel where every queer person could feel welcomed... And we failed at that. That is something that, in hindsight, I think is impossible to create.”*
Because wow! Aren’t you the one who called Becky Albertalli, a bisexual woman, straight ?? Aren’t you the one who has consistently stolen queer and lgbtq people’s work as your own , profiting off of their labor and research and time? Aren’t you the one who sicced your fan base on smaller creators who noticed your plagiarism??? Aren’t YOU the one who LIED blatantly about lesbians “historically having it easier” than gay men ?? That LIED about Radclyffe Hall’s book being banned and destroyed???? What was it you said?? That she got to go on with “her merry little life”???
Fuck you. How dare you.
How dare you say there is no community, no safe space for all of us, when you have literally done NOTHING but maliciously and consistently stolen from, lied to, manipulated, and put down and bullied the community.
You have done nothing but try to break apart and put down your lgbtq siblings, so of course you believe that solidarity, safety, and intersectionality within our community is not something that can exist.
There are lgbtq people who are actively working to make those spaces, where everyone feels welcomed, but you clearly see yourself as being above that, above collaboration and community, above listening to other’s experiences.
You only think that a space where all queer and lgbtq people are welcomed and feel safe is impossible because your goal was never to carve out that space. It was to make money and take advantage of the people who looked up to you.
You think it’s impossible because you never once thought about the people you were stealing from, never once cared about the community, our history, the activism of our elders and all they did, never thought about how your actions and lies would hurt the community.
Stop making excuses and lying. Be fucking better.

Hades 2 Spoilers
Something about the fact that Hades is imprisoned in Sisyphus’ old chamber, where Bouldy is left behind and Sisyphus is nowhere to be found, and the fact that the city on the surface is Ephyra, the city Sisyphus founded and ruled over in his mortal days
Apparently Chronos just flung open the gates and all the shades have been allowed to walk free so it doesn’t NECESSARILY mean Sisyphus turned against them, but it does give me the vibe that his whole “I’m content to just stay here with Bouldy and atone for my crimes” narrative was bs, or at the very least it was true right up until he had the opportunity to actually leave
