it's nice whenever you post a little tidbit about your life, because as a gender fucked 20 year old trying to have a life with my partner after our shitty starts, I don't see much about people like us just having content lives

hey, that makes me really happy to hear. <3 here’s some more tidbits from today, then: my wife and i are making soft pretzels from scratch today (dough is proofing rn, we’re just sitting down at our computers to play some video games together while we wait for it to rise). we’re gonna make beer cheese to go with it later, which i’m excited for but also nervous about bc i haven’t made it in a while. one of our cats is sooooo pissed off at us bc she hates the sound of the electric hand mixer (she hates, in fact, all sounds that are not soft classical piano or ghibli soundtracks. one of her least favorite sounds, for example, is human laughter). we are both really exhausted from work, and i don’t know when we are going to stop being exhausted from work, but it’s fine bc at least we get to hang out with each other every night.

gay gender fucked people are happy together (and by themselves) all over the world, despite everything. we are okay, and when we’re not okay we’ll be okay again later, i hope very very soon. love is the point!!!!!!!!! u and ur partner have a nice evening tonight, anon :)))

also wanna shout out the people in the notes of that poll who critiqued “queer” not for being too inclusive but because of the anglo/amero-centrism of the term & talking about how they want a native equivalent from their own language rather than just translating an english word. y'all actually have a good point & shouldn’t be lumped in with the cryptoterf “queer is bad because uhhhh it’s a slur you dumb faggot. can you tell I am not normal about ace and aro people”

#this this this#I love ‘queer’ in english both as a way to address the community and for myself#but I hate that we borrow so many words from a foreign language (just because the countries where they’re spoken have the cultural hegemony#instead of reclaiming more of our own in spanish#I talked to with an acquaintance who told me he actually kinda disliked to identify as 'gay’. he always thought of himself as 'maricón’#exactly for this same reason#and I was like 'you’re so right and I’m so jealous’

I think the better translation for “queer” to castilian-from-spain, because of the original meaning and its use as an slur by bigots, would be “rarito”. And honestly, I find it beautiful: embrace being “raro” as something great.
