Really not sure what I was expecting from Kristen “chaos isn’t cute anymore” Applebees but it definitely wasn’t “Straight British clone says Blimey before being blown up by god and also she was pregnant (with Fabian’s kid)”

Most nerve racking scenes of Neverafter, the horror season of D20, are hands down any time Gerard has to speak to his wife
A thing we could do better this Pride month: In quick summaries of queer histories, do not toss in a throw away line about how “lesbians took care of gay men dying of aids”.
Lesbians were also getting hiv/aids and dying from it and taking care of themselves and their community.
Women faced extra challenges when they got sick, because the CDC ignored symptoms seen mostly in women in their aids definition and locked women with aids out of lifesaving disability benefits. Trans women faced additional challenges on top of that and fought additional battles to get access to health care and disability benefits.
Lesbians were central to ACT UP, planning and participating in many daring direct actions in the fight for hiv/aids health care, and they brought with them years of experience from feminist activism around health care. Lesbians were on the front line in EVERY SINGLE big action around hiv/aids health care.
Lesbian hiv/aids history should not be reduced to nursing gay men. I love every lesbian that did that, nursing matters so much and they are all heroes. But this can not be the only story we tell. Lesbians are not supportive characters in gay men’s history.
Really love that none of my high school friends watch Dropout cause I can steal jokes and they all think I’m hilarious. My college friends would know immediately

Calling myself a dyke helped me accept that I’m a lesbian. It was a way for me to face the fact that I am everything I was taught as a child not to be; I am everything I was taught that’s wrong. “So what if I am that?” is exactly right.
christ i'm actually seeing people insist that dyke is not a slur now as if that's a necessary justification for wlw to be able to say it? why are people so fucking terrified of what reclamation actually means? the point isn't to make a weapon used against you so meaningless that target feels safe to sell it back to you on a shirt, it is transgressive and shocking to say "so what if i am that? i am the words that have been the last thing people have fucking heard before being bashed". don't insert yourself into a words history and then deny its weaponization, WIELD IT against your oppressors!!
the fix is one of the characters of all time. he’s played by hank green doing a vaguely southern accent. he literally cannot be stealthy. he uses the power of autism for both intimidation and flirting. he’s the biggest guy and made friends with the smallest guy as soon as he got the chance. he discovered choice and free will. he tried to say his boss’s hair looked nice and didn’t realize he had a hat on. him and his autistic wife adopted a whole orphanage of autistic children so they’re a giant autism family. really just everything
