I had a dream that someone started a meme at the bottom of their tumblr posts that was just a banner of harry styles giving a thumbs up with the text “This post is Ravioli Approved.” It got really popular, and eventually Harry got wind of it and went on James Corden and said “this meme is Ravioli Approved.” Everyone loved it and it was really funny, and Harry Styles played along. Until one day he tweeted “Donald Trump is not Ravioli Approved.” And the next day Trump fucking died.
suddenly everyone was DMing Harry Styles like “am I ravioli approved???” And he mostly said yes, but the ones he said no to died. And the next day it would come out that they had been murderers or just terrible people.
They gave Harry Styles his own government Bureau of Ravioli Approval (BORA) and every baby born got an approval/disapproval rating with their social security number. Infant mortality dropped because every baby except the Disapproved ones lived.
Eventually he did like a 12-hour live special of him reading the death records of the last 20 years and approving/disapproving of their deaths. There wasn’t any earthly repercussions to that but im pretty sure it meant he was sending them to heaven or hell?
The dream ended with a looney tunes ending card, except instead of porky pig it was harry in the middle with the message “This Dream Is Ravioli Approved.” And i woke up.
amab nb people deserve so much more respect and recognition. i feel like they’re one of the least visible groups in the community and we need to acknowledge their existence much more. whenever their existence isn’t ignored they’re either seen as extremely gnc gay men or watered down trans women.
we need to recognise them and their experiences. whether feminine, masculine, or androgynous; whether aligned with manhood or womanhood or both or neither; whether attracted to men, women, other nb people, any combination, or no one at all. especially nonwhite, jewish & muslim, disabled, neurodivergent, impoverished, elderly amab enbies. they exist. non binary doesn’t mean white skinny androgynous afab teen!
Look I have no problem with aces being part of the community, but historically queer was never used as a slur against them, so as someone who has been called queer as a derogatory insult plenty of times, I'm pretty uncomfortable with them using it. Reclaiming the word queer is fine, but not if it wasn't directed at you in the first place.
You are not the Queer Pope. You don’t get to decide who is and isn’t queer.
Also, get off my blog.
Not only is anon not Queer Pope, they’re also factually incorrect. For others champing at the bit to be the next grayface too chickenshit to be wrong with their URL attached:
Google “the spinster movement”. 1920′s and 1930′s. Ace women considered “queer” by straight society for not complying with the demands of compulsory heterosexuality (i.e. marry, let your husband fuck you whenever he wants, produce hordes of children, probably die of tuberculosis (well, that last bit’s not compulsory heterosexuality, but I digress)).
Better yet, look up stuff from the research of Alfred Kinsey and/or Magnus Hirschfield (of the
Institut für Sexualwissenschaft- the Nazis burned it for advancing knowledge and acceptance of ace, trans, and gays & lesbians- all enemies of the State because their existence undercut the Aryan call for men FATHER MANY ARYAN BABIES and to FIGHT FOR THE FATHERLAAAAAND and for the women to manage Kinder, Küche, and Kirche (children, kitchen, church).
Here’s a nice excerpt from a 1935 newspaper on how asexual women should be barred from teaching (one of the very few jobs a woman could hold in those days) based on their sexuality: “The women who have the responsibility of teaching these girls are many of them themselves embittered, sexless or homosexual hoydens who try to mould the girls into their own patten.”
In the Victorian era, there was a movement for decades in favor of evicting spinsters (read: asexual and lesbian women) over 30 from Britain, and send them to Canada, Australia, or the United States instead.
They were at best, “surplus females”, and at worst? Here’s another quote! This one is from Eliza Linton, a Victorian writer quoted in a more modern work analyzing Victorian families, describing spinsters in contrast with “naturally” celibate women, that is, widows: “Unnatural and alien: Painted and wrinkled, padded and bedizened, with her coarse thoughts, bold words, and leering eyes, [the wrong kind of spinster] has in herself all the disgust which lies around a Bacchante and a Hecate in one…. Such an old maid as this stands as a warning to men and women alike of what and whom to avoid.”
TL;DR YOU EXCLUSIONIST SHITHEADS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF YOUR OWN COMMUNITIES, LET ALONE BROADER QUEER HISTORY. SHUT YOUR MOUTHS, OPEN A FEW WEBPAGES, AND READ.
You find yourself going about your business a week later. Looks like you’re doing a little grocery shopping.
You’re a bit confused, having no memory of the previous week. You have no idea what is on your grocery list. Are you out of milk?? What kind of produce do you need to stock up on??? It is all a little overwhelming.
