Honestly I feel like a lot of nonbinary people are uncomfortable with the way alignment language is pressed on them and uncomfortable with the fact that a lot of people who are not nonbinary are using that terminology as a means of misgendering us for their own ease and gain (because thinking of all nonbinary people as woman-aligned or man-aligned is easier for them than having to actually consider that there are nbs who don’t fit into that binary and they can’t be bothered to actually put forth the effort to change their world view and politics to include us) but are wary of speaking about it because they feel like by doing so they’re somehow invalidating or insulting the nonbinary folks who use this terminology and find it useful for describing their identities.
But like, these things are not mutually exclusive.
We can acknowledge that nonbinary people are being pressured both inside and outside of our community to use alignment terminology
and we can acknowledge that the hyper-focus on being aligned to this or that that’s going on right now can make ‘unaligned’ nonbinary people feel alienated in nonbinary spaces
and we can acknowledge that people who are not nonbinary are misusing these terms in very nbphobic ways
and we can also acknowledge that there are nonbinary people who use the terms for themselves because they want to and because they’re useful to them.
We can (and should be) discussing all of these things because none of them cancel each other out and it’s fully possible for nonbinary folks who feel that they are harmed by alignment terminology to speak about that without disrespecting or dismissing nonbinary people who do use those terms.
Whatup it’s Caleb. My wheelchair (pictured above) is all but totalled right now (almost all plastic parts are broken or bent including where the seat rails meet the back canes), and I just had another surgery. I’m trying to save up for a rigid chair, and I also need help covering my living expenses while I’m off work.
seriously though bisexuality being defined as attraction to men and women is a heterosexual’s definition of bisexuality actual bisexual groups and organizations have been defining it as attraction to two or more genders or same and other genders since the nineties and plenty of nb people actually id as bi and refusing to accept how we define ourselves is so absurdly biphobic and heterosexist and jfc it’s 2014 can other queer people fucking realize and acknowledge this
The purple stripe on the bi flag is meant to represent attraction to nb genders and the bisexual manifesto published in Anything That Moves includes the lines “Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature … In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” That was published in 1990. It’s older than a lot of people here, including me, and older than terms like “pansexual” and “polysexual” by at least a decade. Bi history is important.
A wedding photographer took this picture from a rooftop to get a bird’s eye view of a wedding in progress. Something seemed odd about the balcony in the top right portion of the photograph.
This is what the photographer found when they zoomed in.
Zoomed out picture for extra creeps
what the actual fuck
The one on the right staring directly at the camera just adds a whole other level of ‘fucking no’ to this

They’re mannequins from an art exhibition. Here’s another angle;
The story behind it is interesting, these are not referred to as cult members, they’re labeled as “duncess”, explaining those uncomfortable pointy hats. Super creepy nonetheless.
well now i know how to dress the bridesmaids at my own wedding
Please reblog if you’re autistic and people keep thinking that your accent sounds foreign to your home country; I want to know if this is an autistic thing or just a ‘me’ thing.
