A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
tw: eating disorders / self-harm
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided...

dear love by Margaret Rhee
for queer youth
it may not get better, and it may get worse, or you’ll get stronger, or you’ll make it better. maybe heaven is 21 and free in a gay bar: just kiss his lips, love.
we didn’t dream of anal sex, or fisting, and dental dams, rainbow flags and miller lite, christina aguilera on that stage, all we hoped for first, was love.

Now that I’m finally reading Susan Stryker for a Feminist and Queer Theory graduate course, I’m just beginning to realize how many radical queer warrior-poets she’s influenced. This essay is simply iconic… and totally transcends the boundaries of academic writing… as it very much should.
For anyone not familiar with this groundbreaking essay, it is a very moving...

racism & die cis scum

charthebutcher:
Forgive me for sending this as a submission and not an ask, but it’s way too long and I didn’t want to whittle it down and lose the nuance. Let me start off by saying that I’m happy that the fervor over your “die cis scum” tattoo has died down, and I don’t want to pile on for the sake of piling on. However, certain things have been nagging me about it for a while, and...

Love After Love
sharingpoetry:
The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows...

Summer Solstice by Stacie Cassarino
olvalx:
I wanted to see where beauty comes from without you in the world, hauling my heart across sixty acres of northeast meadow, my pockets filling with flowers. Then I remembered, it’s you I miss in the brightness and body of every living name: rattlebox, yarrow, wild vetch. You are the green wonder of June, root and quasar, the thirst for salt. When I finally understand that people fail at...
