I am an enby autistic lesbian with severe asthma and hyperinflated lungs. I had a severe allergic reaction to a food that was safe in the past and had to be hospitalized. I also had to get my car's brakes fixed. Any help is appreciated. 😥🙇

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

I explained all this to my mom last night, as well as all the other horrors queer people were subjected to during WWII, and she was horrified. She didn't know. This knowledge has been hidden from most people.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Omeluum and Blurg have got to be my favorite BG3 characters. Them breaking off from their typically evil societies, and now working together to make the Underdark a better place makes them very interesting to me. Also they are gay

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 3d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
