uh hey fuck the idea that it’s somehow more radical + revolutionary for straight people to break conventional gender norms than it is for gay people to do so. it’s not.
when you say shit like “she’s masculine but she’s NOT GAY isn’t that amazing” or “he’s feminine but he’s just SECURE IN HIS SEXUALITY” what you’re really saying is “isn’t it amazing that these people aren’t afraid of possibly being assumed as gay” which is shitty enough as it is meanwhile gay people are putting themselves in real danger by defying gender norms and being shamed for it for “conforming to stereotypes” while straight people are praised for doing the same
Quit harassing children and new artists. Do you people really, honestly think all amazing artists just burst forth from the womb with polished skills and a deep understanding of the intricacies of anatomy and colour theory?
No, don’t be ridiculous, let artists develop and grow. Either encourage them or leave them alone. It’s not “okay” just because they’re not a kid, people can start drawing at three or thirty, let them be. With effort and studying, even a late-start artist can improve impressively, so just… don’t tear people down for posting naive or weird art and being proud of it.
if you’re a baby gay and this is your first pride, watch your drinks! men are trash across all sexualities
I know boys don’t get these talks so let me clarify:
This doesn’t just mean alcohol
Don’t accept any open drinks
After you get your unopened drink, you keep it in your site
You have to go to the bathroom so you leave your drink on a table? That drink is now dead to you.
You’ve been holding your drink way low out of your eyesight and people are crowding? That drink is now suspect.
Stay safe, babies
Also: Rohypnol (a date rape drug) tastes VERY SALTY. If your drink is suddenly salty, STOP DRINKING IMMEDIATELY.
Buddy system, y’all. If your friend is acting *way* drunker than they should, take them to an Urgent Care or ER. Date rape drugs can kill you.
always rb
rb for the advice
don’t rely on taste, ppl could dissolve all kinds of drugs into ur drink so don’t accept drinks from anyone unless u see it made by the bartender in front of u and keep ur drink in your sight, if u have to leave it then gulp it down or throw it away
Pride season is coming up so please stay safe!!
If you are not feeling great don’t let a stranger take you outside. In fact, I know the allure of getting away from crowds when you’re sick is strong but stay where the people are.
Also watch out for each other. If someone is being suspect or you think someone is drugged alert security.
