Sapphic-bottom - Loving Women

also I learned about this project called “queering the map.” the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasn’t safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces

so every dot on this map is basically someone’s queer experience: coming out, meeting their future wife, seeing another gay man in public for the first time, anything you can think of that truly left a mark on them

it started in Montreal and is primarily English-language with most pins dropped in the US, Canada, and Europe, but there are people all over the world who’ve shared their experiences. it’s great to look at places near you but it’s also great to see that even people in places you thought were the middle of nowhere are happy with themselves and finding community and living their lives

This isn’t related to my blog aesthetic but I’m tired of seeing posts where people are making others paranoid that they’re in a coma or something. You’re not. I know lots of us know it’s just a bad “joke,” but some people don’t have the luxury of being able to believe that after seeing others tell them otherwise.

You’re awake. Everything is okay.

I work at a coffee shop and have gotten all my co-workers to start calling lattes “hot milkybois”

Don’t you guys find it weird that Spock Prime actually is the Spock from the Original Series? 

 "I am not our father, Spock.“

 "Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving…”

“I have been and always shall be your friend… I am Spock”

I mean. He was talking to his character’s legit AU self.

Leonard Nimoy had adventures with William Shatner and now he’s in this other universe where Zach is playing as his character and Zach and Chris are all new to this Star Trek experience but he’s been in this for years now so friendship through acting man and

When Chris Pine said “You know, coming back in time, changing history… that’s cheating” do you think he ever reminisce all those years of acting in The Original Series when he said “A trick I learned from an old friend”

Or maybe he was thinking of all the times he spent onscreen and offscreen with Will when he said 

“I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.”

I mean that’s amazing, the whole interaction between Classic Trek Spock and AOS Crew, especially with Scott, Jim, and Spock. It makes it feel almost a little real. I don’t think I’d have liked the new movie at all if Spock Prime was acted by someone else.

Women can be investigated for murder for giving birth to a stillborn child or having a miscarriage. Rapists get sentenced to little/no prison and get off without even having to register as a sex offender. Women are still paid less than men. Condoms are free, but birth control is not and some states in the U.S. are even taking away the option for IUDs. After giving birth, women who have ripped their own flesh from the physical trauma of giving birth can be stitched back up and then given one too many stitches to make her “tighter” for her husband, thus why this occurrence is called “the husband stitch”. Men can get themselves sterilized no problem, but women often have issues finding a doctor who will sterilize them without them being married and having their husband’s consent.

Alright, so go ahead. Tell me how feminism isn’t needed anymore. Tell me why you think that any of the above situations are anywhere near the ballpark of being “okay”. But before you open your mouth, think about how you would feel if I had just told you the situation was reversed. What if I told you that men got paid less than women? That if a 12 year old boy got raped by another man, there would be no consequences for the rapist? What if I told you men needed their wife’s permission to get sterilized and if they weren’t married yet then they might have to wait until they are just in case their wife wants kids?

Sexism isn’t a joke. It’s a real problem that affects real people. It’s still a current problem. Just because women can vote and we’re allowed to own land doesn’t mean all of our problems went away.
