Really interesting and eye opening article on data collection and visualization of #queerness

What would be the way in a #Democracy to prevent #Queerness becomes ever a matter of legality again?

Exactly: None. The majority permits your #sexuality today, and maybe tomorrow they hate you again.

Additional, it's a nice topic to polarise people and force #queers to vote for the only pro-queer party.

Easy votes.

Fuck democracy 🙄😜

Béla Belissima from the podcast "Queering the perspective" has three new episodes about Sri Lanka. I knew almost nothing about Sri Lanka and listened very interested to the episodes.

https://queeringperspectives.wixsite.com/belabelissima/the-pop-blog

*Call for System Change in Sri Lanka*
"In our first Sri Lanka episode, we talk about the “Aragalaya” (the Sri Lankan national uprising at the face of the economic collapse in 2022)..."

*Transitioning and Expectation of Transness*
"In this conversation, we address the complicated process of transitioning in Sri Lanka which quickly also turns into a discussion about the economic crisis and the lack of access to hormones..."

*Gender Non-Conformity in the Fashion World*
"What was it like being the first gender non-conforming model walking Colombo Fashion Week?
Our guest for this last Sri Lanka episode was that person and gives insights into the fashion world and queer community in its beauty, power and challenges...."

There is also a translated version available (Tamil and Sinhala) https://queeringperspectives.wixsite.com/belabelissima/translated-episodes

#Introduction

Hi! I'm Cléo, I'm 24 and I really like cats. It's been some time since I've written an intro, how does this work again?

I like to talk about #asexuality and how I consider it to be a radical identity as the building block to other aspects of my #queerness, including my gender.

I'm neurodivergent or whatever you want to call it, although I've given up on getting diagnosed as anything, fuck psychiatry anyway.

I might rant about fast fashion being very bad. Sorry about that. Very interested in #ClimateJustice and anticapitalism.

Would love to learn more about #anarchism! I feel like I don't know enough to call myself an anarchist yet, so this is kind of a process for me. Anyway.

Other random stuff about me:
- I play #tetris
- I love to cook & have been a #vegetarian for the last 7 years
- I'm in my first openly queer relationship and it feels more liberating than anything before
- I'm going back to uni to study #history soon!
- I like to read #fantasy and #scifi
- I listen to A LOT of music

Would love to connect with #ace and/or #queer folks!

#Pridemonth ist zwar zu Ende aber #queerness und #equality ist immer im Trend! 💕🏳️‍🌈

As for a more personal #introduction - I am Irish, but I've made #Berlin DE my home for the last 6 years.

I'm interested in topics of #disability, #queerness, and #neurodivergence, especially how they fit into our understanding of physical and mental #healthcare.

I'm super inspired by any topics of the intersection of #art and tech so I may share some posts on these topics too.

I spend a lot of my time thinking (and posting) about #inclusivity, #diversity and overall #workersrights in #tech.

»Progressiv, links, feministisch zu sein bedeutet, eine Gesellschaft zu wollen, die #gerecht und frei von #Unterdrückung ist«

Leider hören viele Linke genau an dem Punkt auf.

Dort erst ANZUFANGEN wäre wirklich links, der Satz könnte dann lauten:

»Progressiv, links, feministisch zu sein bedeutet, eine Gesellschaft zu wollen, die #inklusiv, #gerecht und frei von #Unterdrückung ist und #queerness als Bereicherung sieht.«

Bloß: Da scheiden sich die Geister – und das spricht BÄNDE.

Was ist Allyship? Wie verhältst du dich als ‘gute*r’ Verbündete*r der queeren Community? Wenn du beim Thema #Queerness nicht mehr mitkommst und dich nicht traust diese Fragen zu stellen, dann ist #QUEER #ALLYSHIP genau das richtige Spiel für dich!

Ziel des Spiels ist es, unsensible Trolle zu bekämpfen und als Ally auf vielfältige Art und Weise die queere Community zu unterstützen. Dabei greift jede Karte einen wichtigen Aspekt des Ally-Seins auf.

Mehr Infos zum Spiel: https://black-mosquito.org/de/queer-allyship-spielkarten.html

Willkommen im Club der queeren Community! Aber wer ist das eigentlich? Das klären Kathi Roeb und Julian Wenzel bei „Willkommen im Club“!

"gotta say, i do not like how lately i've been seeing #posts from #people who use a #person having colorfully dyed hair as a sort of shorthand for "#leftist who is actually secretly an asshole." like people making comments like "the girl with blue hair and perfect eyeliner wings is also the one who won't give up their seat for a disabled person on the bus". like we already have to deal with the #rightwing #fascists using "blue hair and pronouns" as a shorthand for "leftist (trans) person who is insufferable and oversensitive", can we please not turn brightly colored hair into a caricature in leftist circles as well. having brightly dyed hair is not some magic #symbol of "person who claims to be a leftist but is actually secretly an asshole". it is a #morally neutral trait. and while i'm not discounting #anyone's #experience with someone with brightly dyed hair who treated them badly, i think that turning it into some kind of shorthand for "asshole" is just going to ultimately hurt us more than it's going to help."

"it's also coupled with "#stereotypically het people who are actually the good ones" which at some point feels like a full circle into the status quo. Like to an extent I get that we want to remind people the signifiers of #queerness aren't necessary to be a progressive or good person, but I worry that we're just gonna end up recreating that one "gay people i don't respect" #meme."
