painting a gay bar as a safe place for straight girls avoiding straight men is wild to me bc ideally it would be a safe place from the straights for gay ppl but we can’t have anything can we
i think people here are misunderstanding what im trying to say. this isn’t a fuck you to every straight girl who’s been to a gay bar. i myself wouldn’t blink at the idea of bringing some of my straight friends to a gay bar for a fun night out. what im criticizing is this new wave of articles and think pieces urging straight women to take refuge in places that are ultimately meant to be safe places for gay people from straight people themselves. if you want to write about a need for more women’s spaces and women’s bars where women can feel safer, im all for it. but don’t try to rewrite or infringe on what a lgbt space is meant for - a space for lgbt people themselves
that post that’s like “all ships are just [character you ID with] x [character you have a crush on]” is very unrelatable. all my ships are [character that I think is hot] x [other character that I think is hot]
Eight by fourteen inches equals roughly 22,000 individual stitches and just as many reasons to regret my poor life choices, but it’s DONE! I don’t want to think about how many hours of work went into this, but I’m so pleased with how it came out. I’ve had this in the works for about a year now, working on it here and there, but the last few weeks I’ve really pushed to finish it up, and I’m super happy with how this came out.
This was an attempt to make a love letter to New York and imbue each neighborhood and every single shot with a feeling of New York—something that you could feel bouncing onto our characters and realize that it was tangible.
riker: captain, i think we should follow strict bofa protocol on this mission
picard: you know full well that we already follow the Barred Or Forbidden Armaments protocols and policies with any and all of our missions, riker. a man of your stature should know that.
picard: i’d die before i’d take weapons like those banned in the BOFA protocols into a battle, for the sheer damage they can do. horrendous
riker: i
riker:
riker: yes captain
picard: if you need a refresher, i suggest you spend some freetime at the holodeck, using the updog course
