Bi Lesbian
This flag is created for bi women/woman-aligned people who are more strongly attracted to women. Historically, the term lesbian has included bi, pan, or other m-spec women.

Since a lot of biphobes are getting rocks in their shoes over this I’mma post some more bi lesbian flags I’ve found around.
Feel free to add others you find/made and please let me know if you know the source for anything unknown!
A Bisexual Lesbian (or Bi-Lesbian for short) is someone who is both bisexual and a lesbian. This term can be used by women who use the split attraction model and are bisexual and homoromantic (lesbian) or someone who experiences lesbian tertiary attraction. They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only romantically attracted to women. They may find themselves sexually attracted to men, but could never picture themselves in a relationship with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though this varies from person to person. It can also be used by people who identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing attraction, or due being part of plural system. Additionally, the term can apply to women and other non-men who are bisexual and prioritize their attraction to women/non-men or have a strong preference for women/non-men, or for people who are reclaiming the historical definition of lesbian alongside identifying as bisexual.
This can also be switched around for biromantics!
History of Bi Lesbianism
Origin:
The label “bi lesbian” originated in the 1970s as a result of the effects of lesbian separatism, a belief within some strains of lesbian feminism and often within radical feminism which advocates for separating women from men in as many ways as possible as a strategy to achieve women’s liberation.[1] Subsequently, this lead to lesbian separatists rejecting and often discriminating against women who refused to withdraw from their involvment with men, particularly bisexual women. Lesbian separatists accused bisexual women of “sleeping with the enemy” and forcefully removed them from lesbian spaces and from claiming the lesbian identity for themselves, by redefining it as “a homosexual female/woman” or “a woman who does not sleep with men/is not attracted to men”. It is because of lesbian separatism that the bisexual label became very popular starting in the 1970s, as the word to describe a woman who was attracted to other women before was “lesbian”, whether they were attracted exclusively or not, and now that had suddenly changed.
Examples of Use
Lavender Woman, Volume 2, Issue 5, August 1973: “What is a Lesbian? To me, a lesbian is a woman-oriented woman; bisexuals can be lesbians…”[2]
Lani Kaahumanu, “Bisexuality & Discrimination”, BBWM Vol. 3, No. 6, Dec 1985-Jan 1986: “…my lesbian awareness isn’t lost now that I claim my bisexuality […] My political consciousness is lesbian but my lifestyle is bisexual…”[3]
Robyn Ochs, “Bi of the Month: Betty Aubut”, Bi Women Vol. 5, No. 2, April-May 1987: “I call myself a “bisexual lesbian.” I will always politically identify as bisexual, which to me means opposing restrictive categories […] I consider myself gay. I think bisexuals are gay and gay liberation is our liberation…”[4]
Amy Wyeth, “Don’t Assume Anything”, Bi Women Vol. 13, No. 4, Aug-Sep 1995: “Unfortunately, many of my experiences as a lesbian-identified bisexual woman have said to me that having an appearance or demeanor that diverges from the expected means I will not be accepted as truly belonging in the lesbian community.”[5]

I’ll throw in some Omni, Ply, and Pan lesbian flags too! And Bi Vincian/Gay men flags:
Admittetly; as someone who's oppinion doesn't actually matter that much as aroace realm, I think the colours of the third flag down are the best but all are valid. All of this is valid

i think it's important that we not rely on voting or discourse or whatever to shut up people like this. rather: connect with local friends, mutual aid networks, & antifascist action groups, gun clubs, or organizations that offer medical/other training if possible. not to prepare for an eventual worst scenario but to fight shit like this now, wherever it rears its head. Matt Walsh should be terrified to show his face in public.
This is the kind of shit that brings back “three pieces of ‘correct’ gender clothing” laws that ruin gnc and trans people’s lives

I mean I know a certain level of projection on fictional characters and situations is inevitable and even healthy, but sometimes you got to step back into the real world to remind yourself that Character X is not your shitty parent/abusive ex/asshole boss/bully from high school, and that people who like Character X are not personally victimizing you.
op is getting death threats now probably

Love that his reaction to being pranked was to pull the exact same prank on his buddy

It's a good prank when the person you pranked immediately wants in on it, and it doesn't cause any harm.

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
THIS. god what a waste it is not to fill each crevice of your life with experience! get heartbroken! be embarrassed, be silly, be genuine. experience everything; do it deeply and without self doubt, because when pride fades and the facade of reputation falls, what remains but ourselves - a human, wanting.

Remember when this website went crazy with people not knowing the Nazis were anti-porn
The TERF being dumb on the "more people need to give themselves permission to write and draw pornography" post from the other day had actually reblogged a post expressing smug incredulity about the fact that fascists are consistently anti-porn.
The OP of said post? Explicitly self-describes as reactionary in their bio, reblogs white genocide conspiracy theories plus holocaust denial, is openly racist on pretty much every post, and is also a misogynist.
So like, yeah? That's a very obvious anti-porn nazi but TERFs need to pretend that is not what it is. They need to pretend this is some kind of ally against misogyny.
Also like, write and draw porn? If we're talking about "TERFs" as in radical feminists proper, wouldn't the bigger feminist concern with porn be, I dunno, treatment of real people in filmed porn?
Yeah there's a discussion to be had about Problematic™ tropes in written and drawn porn, but that honestly goes for any media, and written and drawn porn are still some of the most ethical material to jork it to.
If that was really their central objection then maybe. I think it's reasonable to at least want your porn to be ethically-sourced.
But if anything I notice that the opposite seems to be true in practice. Stuff like hentai seems to offend and disgust them considerably more than live action porn if anything.
They treat all porn like it is both an addictive drug and a corrupting influence that will inexorably turn you into a violent rapist who has every single kink and will enact them in real life.
In other words, the exact same beliefs as the conservative Christians they keep collaborating with.

I genuinely can't stand pop psychology I'm not an expert on this stuff but the damage it has done to the general public's understanding of mental health and psychology must be notable. People with low empathy are evil. NPD is The Abuser Disorder. here's how your partner is subconsciously manipulating you. OCD is when you like cleaning. If you ask him a question and he looks away for one second he's lying to you and abusing you. Follow for more dark psychology tips. Letting my intrusive thoughts win and dyeing my hair. I thought this guy was into me I'm so delulu. Anyone who comes to you with their problems is traumadumping and abusive. Anyone who gives you gifts is lovebombing and abusive. Being neurodivergent means Liking Things. Neurotypicals don't like things. They are empty shells without feelings. Neurodivergent means ADHD or ASD. What, BPD? Schizophrenia?? That's not very quirky or fun. And that's what neurodivergent means. That's just weird. Being mentally ill isn't an excuse to be weird. Only Evil People manipulate and abuse. There are certain people who Are Evil by nature (people with NPD) and they Will abuse you. Loving someone means it's impossible to abuse them only Evil People Who Hate You are abusive. Have I mentioned that people with NPD are evil. I really want to drive that home

Effie is actually not fanservice because she is important to the theme of propaganda in SOTR
Effie is 100% brainwashed AND YET she still hasn't lost her humanity. She believes propaganda completely AND YET she doesn't use it as an excuse to abuse people. Throughout the book, the tributes are constantly dehumanised. But Effie doesn't treat Haymitch that way. She helps the team. She's there for him in the launch room- which Drusilla and so many Capitol citizens would never do.
So there really is no excuse for abusing people, not even "I was lied to" or "i thought i was in the right" or "I was fed propaganda"
You still choose how you interact with people around you and how you treat them.
Thanks for coming 2 my TED talk.

“Rayban charity glasses event” is a scam don’t click any link in a post that says that.
Old tumblr users remember this scam back when it first went out.
Also no, this isn’t a joke. This phishing scam is 100% running its course again so watch out for your mutuals long abandoned accounts suddenly posting it. Please make everyone aware of it since most users here are newbies who have not seen it before!

You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.
To those curious some other keystone library species include:
—the retirees who’ve read more murder mysteries than I’ve had hot meals
—the paperback romance girlies (gender neutral) who check out every single bodice ripper the second it hits the shelves
—the dads very slowly making their way through a ‘1001 movies to see before you die’ list
—the one-man criterion collection who checks out like, three movies per day and brings them back the next. (TV series are only a minor roadblock.)
—kids who like Minecraft
---The new parents checking out 47 picture books for their 7 month old baby who clearly has nothing going on in their head except the Wii Sports Resort theme song
—Kids who refuse to read anything other than Dog Man and torment their parents about it every day
(^^You CAN nudge them toward InvestiGators but that's IT.)
