over 2 years ago, right when tumblr was at its most biphobic, I made a separate blog. A secret bi discourse blog, basically, where I could reblog things and fight biphobes without worrying about people i know irl finding out things about me that i’m not ready to come out to them about
Not long after making this blog, I kind of drifted off and did other things. This blog has been primarily abandoned for a long time. I’ve occasionally popped back on to post some things, but mostly it’s been left to gather dust.
And then I realized something. Every single person that I followed on this blog, which began its life as a blog to fight biphobia on tumblr, was a bi person or someone who also was vocally against biphobia. I blocked a lot of people for being really awful biphobes… and then I kind of left. This blog and its following list and block list are a time capsule from the heyday of biphobic discourse on tumblr
So I came back on again, and I went through a bunch of blogs, and here’s what I’ve found:
I have scrolled through my dash, I have checked the blogs that I followed for being vocally protective of bi people on tumblr. And what did I find? FOUR exclusionists. All of the rest are either inactive, have not posted enough to determine a position, or (overwhelmingly) inclusionists. In fact, my dash on this blog is almost ENTIRELY inclusionist posts. On a blog I created to follow people defending bi people.
So I’m checking the block list. All of these people I blocked for being biphobes.
I went on their blogs and to /search/ace
Exclusionist. Biphobe. Blog is wiped clean. Exclusionist. Biphobe. Exclusionist. Biphobe. Truscum.* Exclusionist. Biphobe. Exclusionist. Biphobe Terf. Outlier, mega racist anti-sjw Exclusionist. Biphobe. Biphobe. No ace discourse on blog. Exclusionist. Truscum.* Exclusionist. Biphobe. Truscum.* Exclusionist. Biphobe. Terf.* Exclusionist. Biphobe. Exclusionist. Biphobe. Biphobe. No ace discourse on blog. Blog has been wiped
* – I wasn’t looking specifically for truscum or transphobes but in these instances it was readily apparent just by clicking on the blog! Fun.
Is this a scientific experiment? Nah. Are the sample sizes large enough to say anything definitively? No. But it is really telling that a dash that, 2 years ago, was full of bi positivity and defending against biphobic tumblr discourse, is now entirely the same thing but for aces.
So the next time an inclusionist tells you that this is ALL rehashed 2014 bihet discourse, maybe listen to us.
REG’s are all literally the same. TERFs, acephobes, biphobes…the same.
i was in barnes and noble today and went to the ya section cause sometimes i find gud shit there. i forgey the name of the book alreay but i flipped over it, it read something along the lines of, “___ is genderfluid. some days she’s a girl, some days he’s a boy.”
naturally i thought “ew” and put the book back down. but the genderfluid part itself isnt the main problem—
A grown adult wrote the book.
A book about mogai is being sold to literal children. I remember I started reading from the YA section at around 11; an age where I was still super impressionable. And if an 11 yr old picked up that book, they’d most likely fall down the trap that mogai is. This type of shit is actually scary; and it’s beyond me just knowing genderfluidity can’t be a thing, it’s literally harmful to children.
Oh boohoo kids might hear about the scary genders you don’t like, fuck off and let kids learn to accept each other and themselves and not your weird alienating attitude where anyone who’s different is an evil mogai trying to corrupt the children. For any other anti-mogais reading this, here’s one of the big reasons calling yourself anti-mogai is bad, because you’re using the same terms as this fuck and a lot of others who don’t believe in nb genders, even the “normal” ones
Damn. Forgot that everyone is naturally cishet, including kids, until us evil trans gays turns their kids into one of us 😦
“screw the meaning of mogai, anything i don’t like is a big bad mogai gender now 😦 also i don’t want kids to have gateways that night introduce them to ways to accept their identity or discover what they are simply because of my own overwhelming hatred towards genders i find cwingey. questioning is literally the worst thing in the world and it’s all thanks to those mogais :((“
Scientists have been puzzling over Oumuamua ever since the mysterious space object was observed tumbling past the sun in late 2017. Given its high speed and its unusual trajectory, the reddish, stadium-sized whatever-it-is had clearly come from outside our solar system. But its flattened, elongated shape and the way it accelerated on its way through the solar system set it apart from conventional asteroids and comets.
Now a pair of Harvard researchers are raising the possibility that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft. As they say in a paper to be published Nov. 12 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the object “may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization.”
The researchers aren’t claiming outright that aliens sent Oumuamua. But after a careful mathematical analysis of the way the interstellar object sped up as it shot past the sun, they say Oumuamua could be a spacecraft pushed through space by light falling on its surface — or, as they put it in the paper, a “lightsail of artificial origin.” (source)
