I think the most honest aspect of Crazy Rich Asians is that Asians born and raised in Western Cultures will always been seen as foreign and as outsiders to Asians born and raised in Asia and it is something white people will never fucking grasp cuz they see us as all the same lmao
This is especially ridiculous when white people go “See? Asians in Asian country where they’re not marginalised aren’t offended by racism” because that xenophobia and racism doesn’t even touch them and they see themselves distinct from us western born Asians
But white people think solidarity is something inherent amongst Asians when there’s major issues of classism and racism amongst the many groups within Asia
A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.
“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”
you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur
EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES
Holy motherfucking shit. Don’t fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know it’s a god damn slur. And it’s mine. You don’t get to take it away from me because you can’t take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community.
always, always reblog this one.
If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, it’s my sword now. And the person telling me I can’t use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.
^^ god that analogy
THIS.
Vilifying the word “queer” is a way of erasing certain identities within the queer community; it is not a rational or valid complaint against the word itself. Because if it were rational, its opposers would also be vilifying practically every other word by which we have ever called ourselves, as almost all of those words have been previously used to oppress us.
No community that deploys such exclusionary tactics against its own has ever survived. We cannot afford to start now.

For the first time in what felt like forever Luke and Lando were alone. They had the whole night together, no disturbances, and as soon as they closed the door they started to undress one another. It was quick and unceremonious. Even Lando just threw his clothes on the floor without care, but it had been too long, too long .
The first time Luke had seen Lando naked he had been at a total loss of words, and even now the sight still took his breath away. Lando was pleasantly soft in just the right places – beautiful , Luke had managed to call him the first time they had been together. Lando had laughed and asked if that was the only thing Luke had to say about him. It was. It still was. Luke had never been one with words, not the way Lando was. Surely there were many words to describe Lando Calrissian, but every time Luke tried, he was lost in the marvel that his lover was.
Well, maybe. I’m skeptical of the idea of the Republic myself, though perhaps a better one can be built. Certainly there needs to be a system for worlds to coexist peacefully with each other, but the Republic’s track record isn’t all that good. And that’s if we leave out the Empire period.
