Conversations about homelessness and empty homes are incomplete without acknowledgement of the fact that being housed is not a prefered or even a tolerable situation for everyone. Be it mental illness, or neurotype, or character, some people can not find what they need out of life in a permanent home and some would simply be … Continue reading Preferred homelessness

I’m disappointed in a lot of the conversations about neuro-normativity in inter-personal interactions, mostly because of how absolutist they tend to be and how useless that is in most real life interactions. A lot of conversations ignore that you can’t be sure you’re not talking to another non-neurotypical person but more to the point they … Continue reading Different neuro-needs

There is a tyranny in the obligation to define yourself. But like most forms of tyranny is only reveals itself when someone breaks the rules. When someone is clearly outside the norm, yet refuses to define their sexuality, refuses to define what race they are, refuses to define what gender, it rears it’’s ugly head. … Continue reading The tyranny of definition

I never quite feel at home when non-binary individuals talk about the importance of ‘they’ pronouns and non-binary identity cards. Don’t get me wrong: I totally understand why it matters to them, but it doesn’t feel relevant to my genderqueer identity. You see, I don’t want to be seen as belonging in some a kind of ‘third box’, … Continue reading Why my genderqueer identity does not revolve around ‘they’ pronouns.

Whether people stay on Tumblr and facebook or not, I think we should be mindful of a shifting mentality not only in profit-run social media but also in all our own communities. I feel like over the last decade, what we consider ‘nsfw’ or ‘pornographic’ has shifted towards stricter rules. In online and offline radical queer … Continue reading

Such friendships have an incredibly important place in the lives of many young people who have a less than perfect relationship to their parents, especially queer young people. If all the adults you know are … Continue reading Inter-generational friendships and queer families

“People should be held accountable for things they did 40 years ago because some acts are irredeemable” Is a pretty common statement lately, particularly about abuse and assault, but I think it’s more a matter of “People should be held accountable for things they did 40 years ago because they have had 40 years to … Continue reading Harm and the past

The “don’t compare people to Hitler or call people nazis, it belittles the history” thing was meant for people who use the word ‘feminazi’ or call abortion ‘the baby holocaust’ or point out that ‘the nazis banned books’ when their favorite video game is cancelled. When a right wing politician undermines basic human rights, criminalizes … Continue reading

I have talked before about how non-violence is often ineffective, depends on the mercy of the state to not kill everyone and the elitist favoritism of the media to keep watching, etc, but let’s talk about how dangerous it is too. Because often activists that use ‘violence’ (how ever you define that) are the ones … Continue reading

veerletakino: queeranarchism: veerletakino: queeranarchism: queeranarchism: Bad sex positivity as seen on my Tumblr dash (depending on what crowd you hang with you may have seen this develop differently): 2012: Consent is Sexy! Yes means Yes! Sex is Empowering! It’s all simple and fun! Just say yes and you’re good to go! Buy my feminist porn … Continue reading Bad Sex Positivity: The Trilogy
