if being "electable" demands the destruction of human rights, then what's the fucking point of getting elected?

but since jokes are a no-go, here's a case of her being attracted to a woman

people in relationships are *also* allowed to be attracted to people other than their partner, btw

bisexual people are queer.

she is bisexual, therefore she is queer.

she can claim to be queer because she is queer.

the benefits of being bisexual is you can fuck a dude’s whole family

oh yes, it can't possibly be that you're being biphobic and people don't like that, we're all in the pocket of Big Onion

...seriously, do you hear yourself?

it's in the list she's talking about, bud

As a journalist, Kat Abughazaleh “covered dangerous far-right narratives and misinformation,” she says. “Now, as the people I used to report on run our government, I’m running for Congress to put up actual resistance against authoritarianism and shamelessly advocate for a better life for the 99 percent.”

Abughazaleh, a bisexual Palestinian American, is one of several Democrats running in Illinois’ Ninth Congressional District to succeed Jan Schakowsky, who is retiring. The campaign has drawn thousands of volunteers, held events ranging “from a punk concert to food drives,” and taken no money from billionaires or corporate PACs, she says. Through open conversation about being treated for narcolepsy, she hopes to normalize the condition.

Note: The word bisexual has a red circle around it.

do you believe that bisexual people in an opposite-gender relationship are queer?

yes or no?

a bisexual woman who is married to a man is still bisexual and still queer.

Emiru, the streamer who was sexually assaulted at TwitchCon yesterday, said she is "hurt and upset by how Twitch handled it during and after the fact"

She claims TwitchCon security & staff were heavily dismissive of the incident, only catching the perpetrator hours later due to her manager

@emiru
hello everyone, I am okay and thank you for all of the kind messages, sorry I cannot respond to them all 🩷

Yesterday, the man who assaulted me was allowed to cross multiple barriers at twitchcon and even in front of another creators meet and greet to grab me and my face and try to kiss me. Fortunately he wasn't able to, but a lot of people have pointed out it could have been a lot worse!

I'm obviously shaken up by what happened and it's not the first time I've dealt with something like this, but to tell you honestly, I am a lot more hurt and upset by how Twitch handled it during and after the fact.

Like I said, I don't understand how he was allowed to make it to me in the first place. The security in the clip who reacts is my own security (it's true my favorite and usual security guard was banned for holding a stalkers arm to bring him to police, at a past Twitchcon)

However, there were at least 3 or 4 other Twitchcon security staff in the area who did not react and let the guy walk away, as you can see in the clip since they don't even appear in the frame LOL

The woman who is walking me away is my own personal manager, and behind the booth, the only two people who were checking on me and comforting me were her and my friend. None of the Twitchcon staff came to ask what happened or if I was okay.

My friend who was present told me Twitch security were also behind the booth afterwards joking about how they didn't even see what happened and immediately laughing and moving on to talking about something else.

So if no one was checking if I was okay or if I needed anything and they let the guy run away initially, I have no idea what anyone hired to keep the event safe was doing LOL

In Twitch's statement they said that the guy was immediately caught and detained, I'm sorry but that is a blatant lie. He was allowed to walk away from my meet and greet and I didn't hear he was caught until hours after he attacked me, and it felt like this o…

I get people having happy moments over at TwitchCon. Celebrate those moments.

But people are literally getting assaulted, with more news coming out today of mutuals being attacked and folks getting put into danger.

Stop going to it and make new memories elsewhere that’s safe.

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study
