At this point "eat the rich" has become less about the inherent immorality of being a billionaire and has turned into "they have money and I don't like them".

Damn guys. I thought we were mad about worker exploitation and tax evasion, not guys who can now afford Teslas.

growing up, my dad made a point to distinguish between "the rich" and "the wealthy" and a mildly confusing thing to me is that "eat the rich" has always really meant "eat the wealthy."

rich people have lots of money. they have a mcmansion, they send their kids to college without debt, they vacation somewhere overseas every year, but they work. these are your brain surgeons. lawyers who own their own practice and are absolutely rolling in it, A-list actors and other celebrity entertainers. but because they work and are reliant on income, unforeseen things can absolutely ruin their lives. in america, particularly, a sudden need for expensive healthcare can be life-changing. rich people are millionaires on the high end, and making six figs on the low end.

wealthy people have lots of money because they own things. they do not work. they can get away with absolutely anything under the sun. wealthy people are billionaires.

if you can't distinguish between these two groups, you will continue to fall for going after the rich.

I once held hands with my husband at an event where my wife was also present, and a concerned parent lectured me about how she didn't want us to "influence" her son. Our icky gay polyam hand holding was such a threat to this woman that she made a point to corner me away from my partners and get me on my own to lecture me about being "indecent." If she had been inclined toward violence, I would have been fucked.

Hand holding. That's all it fucking took.

So catch me at Pride in a leather harness and holding a bat, because if hand holding is all it takes, we owe it to each other to stand together.

We're here. We're queer. Get fucking used to it.

The sheer number of LGBT people who have called me a "degenerate" and a "pedophile" and an "abuse apologist" and a "homophobe" and a "woman-beater" over this post, in the less than 24 hours since I have posted it, is proof that it needs to be said.

Call me a degenerate if you want. I don't care. It has always been the degenerates protecting each other when the cops raid our bars and inspect our clothing and haul us away for being cross-dressing, family-destroying, society-polluting, tranny dyke faggot freaks.

I know who I'd rather have on my side, and it's not the self-loathing pieces of shit who would rather destroy their own people than dismantle systems of oppression.

You will never be wholesome and pure enough for the bigots, no matter how much you distance yourself from the kinksters. Once they've killed all us degenerates, they're coming for you next. And we won't be here to fight for you anymore.

it's great to portray transmasculine pregnancy in a neutral manner but when your representation boils down to "no matter your gender if you have a pussy you have to bottom❤️" and vice versa that is not good

also remember the people who are currently incarcerated for cannabis possession/use! you can visit the site below if you're interested in helping inmates incarcerated for cannabis, they even have a letter writing program if you can't donate/fundraise

also, some people just won't pass. that has to be okay. some (myself included) do not even want to pass. that also has to be okay.
