sexy queer goth dance parties are a sign of the bad times re-emerging and people actually showing strength against the system
As somebody who doesn't like needles, I resent the implication.
Antivaxers are antivaxers because they're stupid. Whether or not they hate needles is irrelevant.
only tangentially related, but I have observed some protest more to injections than other forms of medication due to what I can only conclude is the squick factor. it comes up more in conversations with cis folks about HRT, like people feeling that taking oral estradiol is OK but being a lot more resistant to injections. they're functionally the same thing but needles are more associated with scarier clinical interventions or drugs and that's what it ends up being compared to. just speculating but I wouldn't be surprised if the same "needle = artificial/dangerous" association is made among the antivax crowd.
“Scared of needles” is a funny dig a fourth-grader would understand ( :( )
Are.... Are non-queers allowed to the parties?
... Asking for a friend...
Allies are welcome so long as you respect the people and the vibe 😎🥳 Besides more hands = more bricks 👀
Lol, that's literally just what that saying means. What other interpretation did OP have?
A lot of people, particularly reactionary right wingers, use it to mean good times make effeminate men who respect women and ruin things for said reactionary men's unwashed undatable asses.
This is the shit that I can't handle with the whole "had to walk uphill both ways in the snow in order to go to school" rhetoric, because it centers the story teller's pain, and reinforces the "yeah, whatever, grandma" response.
If they would instead say something like, "when I was a kid, not every school district had the money for a whole bus system just for children, and a large section of the population didn't have access to cars either, so we were mostly responsible for getting ourselves to school on our own, on top of 6he ract that it was 8jcredibly difficult for the school district to communicate closures, so if you could possibly get there, you'd try, so we'd be forced to try," It would do much more to communicate what they actually mean.
Hey, i don't like needles but I still get vaccines. Just don't look at the needle.
