“Lesbians are a threat to the status quo, whether it’s part of heteropatriarchy or queer culture. When lesbians dismiss the idea of taking on a partner with a penis, we are branded “vagina fetishists” and “gynephiles” – given that lesbian sexuality is routinely pathologised in queer discourse, just as lesbian sexuality is pathologised by social conservatism, it’s no surprise to me that so many young women succumb to social pressure and drop lesbian in favour of queer. Self-erasure is the price of acceptance.”

I despise TERFs. I wanna wrap my claws around their necks, leaving enough air in their lungs for them to scream for me to stop. I wanna sink my fangs into their necks; chomping down on it hard enough to hear their bones crack. I wanna lick the lingering blood off their bodies, then disembowel them with my bare claws; tying their uteruses around their necks.

Before any TERF starts raging hormones at me and calling me a “male predator”, I am Assigned Female At Birth.

Oh no, a not-like-other-girls mimicking violent Male behavior and thought patterns in order to prove how Not Like Other Girls she is? No one has ever thought to do that before!

quick question OP, why don’t you have this much rage towards the violent men, the pimps and johns who are out there ACTUALLY killing trans women?? oh yeah it’s because y’all love easy targets

Keith Haring in 1989: “Unfinished Painting”. Haring died few months after and this is his last painting. This is supposed to be a self-portrait. Haring knew he wouldn’t have enough time to finish it. This is one of the saddest but certainly the most powerful thing I’ve ever seen.

to clarify: this is a finished self portrait. haring did know that he would be unable to continue to work; this “unfinished” painting refers to that self-consciously as a visualization of how the aids crisis and government neglect robbed him of his life and future career.

i feel like this distinction is important? there are many artists who died due to hiv/aids and left unfinished work, but haring made this specifically to comment on his impending death. i feel like stating that it’s actually unfinished takes away some of his agency as an artist/activist/pwa and the political power of the work.
