queeryeens

W e l l, it's been months since I've gone onto Twitter, life has been very busy for me and I see that... Things have occured.. Anyway, here's a possible final update? I was originally planning to make a new acc as I have new plans, but due to recent events, I'm unsure

Before I change my password on here, I will be making a final tweet with a link to the new acc + platform, but once that is posted my password will be changed and this acc will be inactive from then on 👌 I hope everyone is doing well & I'm excited to get my new plans finalised!

If Twitter ends up improving itself in the future then I'll be much more active on here for sure! For this account specifically, I will be locking it and eventually deleting all tweets as deactivating allows my @ to be up for grabs. This acc will eventually be inactive

I will not be leaving socmed or abandon my queeryeens plans, I am working on a Tumblr account which will now be the main platform for this project 👀 As for Twitter? I will make a new one for the sake of taking the username and sharing Tumblr posts but that's all for now

Making pride buns for work tomorrow 👀 (I'm totally not procastinating uni work)

Ngl, as much as I hated the environment during secondary school. I do miss the whole studying, timetable, lesson plan aspect of it all. Probably bcos this was when my ADHD was far easier to manage and I crave that amount of control back. But also stationary 🤌

"ppl will laugh at you irl for calling yourself a bi lesbian" For more than a year now, I've been wearing a jacket with bi pins/badges & lesbian pins/badges I've yet to hear a peep, & honestly I really don't care if ppl mock me for it? Ppl mock me for simply being queer so 😗

So much label discourse just goes down to. "I percieve your use of queer labels as a threat to my own usage, I feel like you're dictating my identity, therefore I will dictate ur queerness & you must listen to me because you're the threat, not me" Which sounds very familiar 🤔

If your first response to seeing a post/comic about not policing other queer people's identities is to go "Is this about bi lesbians" or "this excludes bi lesbians" or "UnLESS it's X" Then you missed the point and you should spend less time on socmed label discourse.

While in my experiences, I mostly saw exclus lesbians spread this misinformation, I specified exclus sapphics bcos there were exclus bi women spreading it too, tho I will say that I witnessed a few bi women being guilt tripped and harassed by exclus into believing these ideas

One of the most harmful things exclus sapphics spread across young queer twt, is that the lesbian separatist movement was just "Bi women were erased and just wanted their own spaces!" it's gotten to the point this is seen as truth, & the actual reality is now "bi lesbian lies"

And now I shall once again disappear into the void ✨🤸🏃🚶🧍

TLDR; stay safe, make emergency plans, be aware of all potential dangers regarding public events. Hydrate often and have fun!

As of right now, this is all I can think of off the top of my head based on my own experiences! Once again, this is just advice & you should work out what work best for YOU! If you want to add more advice, please do! I know I've likely missed out some good advice, so pls share!

🏳️‍🌈 add ons 🏳️‍🌈 These are some things that may not be crucial, but they definitely help! - portable chargers - a card with key contact information - plans to contact someone within a time frame after pride, to ensure ur safely back home - emergency money in case u lose ur wallet!

🖤 BE KIND & HAVE FUN!! 🖤 Most important advice, have fun, enjoy your time at pride and remember to be kind! If you see someone who may need help, ask politely if they would like Ur assistance. It's always good to have consent from the person when offering help.

🤎 RESPECT 🤎 when attending pride, expect to encounter all different kinds of queers and queer expression. Respect is key, they have every right to be there too. If you're uncomfortable, go to another part of pride. There are multiple events with different target audiences.

💜 CONT. 💜 Regarding drugs, never ever take something you don't know or from someone you don't know. I can't stress how important this is. Drug safety is so crucial at events like this, it can save your life. If you need parademics, be honest. Medicine interactions can kill.

💜 CONT. 💜 Spikers exist and they will use any oppertunity they can, it's shit I know. If you place your drink down and it leaves your sight for even a second, leave it and get a new one. If you really need someone to hold it and don't have a friend nearby, seek out staff
