Hey everyone! There is a pin project going around on Twitter that benefits Taliesin’s chosen charity, First Place for Youth that would be awesome for you all to participate in or at least share on here and on Twitter.
The user is @ HOMArtworks on Twitter (https://twitter.com/HoMArtworks) and it’d be awesome for this to get more support! There are still around half of each pin left, and they’re planning on making a good amount, so the sooner the better. There’s not a whole lot of time left for ordering though, so claim yours before they close orders!
Here (https://twitter.com/HoMArtworks/status/1068395915474481152) is a link to their tweet with additional information for the pin project, such as shipping and breakdown of costs. If you have any questions you can DM them or if you do not have a twitter you can ask me and I’ll relay the info from them to you!
Even if you can’t support, you can help by sharing the posts, both this one and the tweet.
Orders are still open! If you don’t have a twitter but want to order please let me know and I’ll ask if they are okay with another form of communication, or I can put your order in for you and they’ll send you a paypal invoice!
I listened to the Hamilton soundtrack for the first time last week and guess what it reminded me of!!! The asshole! Everyone’s least favorite Fear Puppy!!!!!!
Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
Give op their hard-earned notes
Tbh I hear “partner” and assume gay, I didn’t know straights used it. Very fair point, OP
I hear ‘partner’ and think ‘gay’ too. A girl at work used it for months and I just went with it. When she would say ‘he’ I even thought maybe he was trans*. Anyways, someone using partner makes me more comfortable and I came out to her. She was just an intelligent straight girl that liked the term and was knowledgeable in human sexuality so definitely someone I should have felt comfortable coming out too. It’s a good sign of a straight person uses it IMO.
As a mental health clinician, this is actually my blanket term when discussing any romantic relationship. I agree it normalizes it, but I also think it’s a relatively safe term to use to describe most romantic relationships without making any assumptions about the person’s orientation or identity. I also use the word “partnered” when describing a monogamous relationship status.
The term “partner” also removes the implied hierarchy of boyfriend/girlfriend vs husband/wife. This is relevant both to non-monogamous people, and unmarried individuals for whom the importance of their relationship isn’t dictated by its legal status.
also you can make cowboy jokes
as a straight, it also helps me weed out homophobes. if they act suspect when i say “partner” i know they gots to go
“asexuality is just the lack of a sex drive, or a really low one” uuhhh no. really, no. that is incorrect, you have been lied to, i’m sorry.
asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone. sex drive is your horny meter. you can still be horny and not be sexually attracted to people! similarly you can be sexually attracted to people and not be horny!! amaze
oh my god this actually clarifies so much thank you
