  • Sawflies are in the order Hymenoptera, closely related to wasps, and many species have larvae that resemble Lepidopteran caterpillars (such as this species).

only just remembered the conversation I had with the person who said they couldn’t read anything written by a lesbian because they were a bisexual and it would be seen as infiltrating a space that wasn’t intended for them and wasting resources that weren’t theirs to use and they were terrified of getting in Trouble.

Reading the tags I'm seeing a lot of comments like "wow moral scrupulosity" "moral OCD the likes you cannot even fathom" "if you think like this you are mentally ill and need help" "oh BROTHER"

and it's mindblowing to me because if you have been in "lesbian spaces" for the last 6-10 years this is not an irrational conclusion to draw at all.

This is a dampened and tame version of what trans and bisexual exclusionary lesbians have been screaming from the rooftops. If your experience as a young bisexual wlw is mostly internet-based, this is not just an opinion that is present in queer spaces but an opinion that has been dominant (and largely completely unchallenged) in queer spaces for a long time at this point.

A bisexual wlw coming away with the impression that their existence is inherently intruding on Lesbianism and they must bow down and submit to the Pure and Good Capital-L Lesbians isn't online cringe or mental illness, it's the logical endpoint of allowing TERFS to be the loudest lesbian voices for over an entire decade.

Before you roll your eyes at the "cringe" moral scrupulosity, try being angry at the people who demand that level of moral scrupulosity out of anyone who is different from themself and think about why you continually accommodate that demand with your nonchalance instead of meaningfully opposing it at its source

it’s funny you mention that because in the original conversation, the person I was speaking with was the recipient of targeted bullying, not some delusional snowflake who needs to go outside and “touch grass.”

it was in 2018-19 and the culture on here was one of scarcity and fear and enforced purity standards, just as it still is. The bullying was virulent and it was everywhere and it cleaved exactly to white woman protectionist narratives that decreed any blurring of the lines as anathema. a bisexual who stepped out of her intended place would bring death and violation to the lesbians around her and needed to be stopped.

I got really bored and started searching Flickr for every photo people took on September 11th 2001

i hate it when people are writing a long ass thing and start a parenthetical aside and forget to close parentheses it makes me feel like i cant escape from the sentence

anyone else have to like. gentle parent their moms about food. my mom is like “let’s be naughty and eat pizza” and i gently say “food is not inherently good or bad”
