Seems a new trend this year is various towns making it officially illegal, with possible fines or jail time, for kids over twelve years old to go Trick-or-Treating.
First of all you can’t tell by looking if a given kid is exactly twelve and under. They can be anywhere from ten to fifteen and look alike.
Second, why do I suspect that this just gives people a new excuse to call the cops on kids they “don’t like the look of”
im am literally begging y’all to reconsider your vice tight stance on “even daring to suggest lgbtqia+ spaces that arent clubs or bars is inherently homophobic” cause not only did everyone on this site want things like gay cafés like 3 years ago, but I cant even go to my uni’s lgbt+ society meetings any more cause all they ever do is go to a really loud bar. I’m autistic, I physically can’t cope with the environment. I also don’t drink, and this bar has 2 whole none alcoholic options that I can drink- the other 2 being cola and red bull. Not only is it just me, it’s also like all my friends at uni aswell, I made friends with a lot of queer people who don’t drink, including a trans man who doesn’t drink so he can take testosterone for longer without risking his health and anothe trans man who’s also autistic and can’t deal with clubs. It’s fucking cruel to expect us to settle with this one type of space in which we can’t cope with.
But i guess fuck me and my queer needs, cause as of the spawn of this shit awful discourse, anyone who dares suggest lgbt+ space that isnt a bar is almost immediately shut down with “thats homophobic” because?? Why? Iirc its cause asexual people started calling for more non alcohol related spaces and y’all hate asexual people with a passion so fuck the idea of accesible spaces because a tumblr user who’s ace and wanted said spaces suggested it.
News flash asshole, its not homophobic to want a queer space that’s suitable for your needs. Next time you make fun of people who ask for gay cafes or whatever because the idea sounds silly to you, bare in mind you’re acting like a right prick towards minors, disabled people, non drinkers and people who are recovering from addiction, and maybe just people who dont want to go to clubs.
The lgbtqia+ community isnt just able bodied young adults, stop acting like everything is already accomodated.
This really put into words a lot of my feelings on this topic too
This tweet from scientist Jacquelyn Gill (@JacqelynGill) went viral, and for good reason. The war on science continues, and she summed up this story perfectly into 3 sentences on Twitter.
The row has erupted after a key polar satellite broke down a few days ago, leaving the US with only three ageing ones, each operating long past their shelf lives, to measure the Arctic’s dwindling ice cap. Scientists say there is no chance a new one can now be launched until 2023 or later. None of the current satellites will still be in operation then.
No words can describe how much this angers the crap out of me.
