✨Happy Pride Month! ✨

I made an art video for Pride Month about what it means to be non-binary & how to be an ALLY!

Designed to be shareable with clueless cishet people as a sort of 101. Feel free to share it anywhere you like

Also, would really appreciate follows/activity on the channel if you enjoyed this ❤❤❤

Happy Autistic Pride Day! ✨

The above picture is just me and the below is a bunch of the SENSORY anthology contributors together (Credit to Schnumn/Bex for assembling)

By the way, the flag in the background is the trixic flag, which is basically non-binary people who like women (non-exclusive, similar to “sapphic” for wlw). Really vibing with it lately.

I used to be afraid of the word bisexual.

I used to let the potential judgement of others dictate my confidence and self-worth. It was mostly the prefix because I didn’t understand what it meant at the time. It felt like a reminder of the fetishization of bisexuality and it put a dirty taste in my mouth. I figured it was better off to stay out of conversations about bisexuality in some communities and to just say bi in others. Bi is fine, but better off for who? I’m not doing it for my own convenience. I’m doing it because I am afraid of others, and that small bit of power that they held over me pissed me off.

I began saying bisexual and bisexuality more often than bi, then I tried to find more reasons to say it. Now, seeing people say bisexual fills me with pride and joy. It is a pride in overcoming a fear and becoming stronger than hatred. It is a joy that I feel the need to pass on. I hope every bisexual person can feel this way about their bisexuality some day, regardless of how similar or different their journey is from mine.

Our bisexuality is an integral part of us that is deserving of our acknowledgment and respect. All of our attractions—same and other gender attractions—are valid and important. They make us who we are.

Your bisexuality is beautiful. Your bisexuality is true. Your bisexuality is wholesome or sensual or sexy or all or none of these. Your bisexuality is yours. Your bisexuality is enough.

Your partner’s attraction to all genders does not negate their love for you

Your partner’s love for you does not negate their attraction to all genders

Your attraction to all genders does not negate your love for your partner

Your love for your partner does not negate your attraction to all genders

Uncomfortably Bisexual

In my experience, the best way to confront biphobia, including internalized biphobia, is by being as loudly bisexual as possible. I don’t think enough bisexuals realize how much pride affects how others treat us. The word “pride” is used a lot in LGBT vocabulary, but do we truly understand what it means to have pride?

Even just the word “bisexual” puts a dirty taste in some mouths. But only at first. You see, unfamiliarity is often the root of disgust, which is often the root of hatred.

I used to avoid using “bisexual” in favor of “bi” because something about it made me cringe. Saying it in public made me self-conscious of what others thought. I would anxiously shrink myself and say the word quietly to draw the least attention. I was thinking too much into it giving the biphobes what they wanted: fear. I shouldn’t have to falter at all about saying a word. More than a word, in fact.

An identity. A statement. A weapon.

For every biphobic comment I hear—regardless of from or to whom—I say the word to their face at least twice. I say it loudly. I articulate. I make sure that they hear it and that they get used to hearing it. I say it obnoxiously and uncomfortably often, because that’s the only way to make the word normal and comforting. Eventually, the word does not bring out such strong reactions or feelings from biphobes, or myself.

It’s the little things about girls that make them so wonderful. It’s the way that their hands are soft and smooth, and fit perfectly with yours when you walk together. It’s the way that the small strands of hair fall out of the way, framing their face after they put it up. It’s the gentleness and musical note that they carry in the voices, and the pure bliss of watching them smile, their joy radiating out in rosy glow of their cheeks. They’re simply beautiful in every way.

Fun Fact

All nblw’s, and wlnb’s, are beautiful, mythical deities and radiate pure magic and strength. They are all ethereal, and I hope they all find amazing partners.

Happy Pride Month to LGBTQ+ folxs who love women!

I’m excited to announce our new lion stickers! You can get a lesbian lion along with 8 other flag colors.

The stickers, pin, and left most bottle charm are the new lesbian flag. Going left to right, the remaining bottles are sapphic, the old lesbian flag, and the trixic flag. Trixic folx are nonbinary people who love women, commonly written as nblw. All of these except for the sapphic flag are available in my shop.

Shop link here!

[Image description: a photo of two stickers, a pin, four bottle charms, and 5 needle felted hearts in purple, orange, and red. One sticker is a drawing of a white lion with a mane containing the colors of the lesbian flag. The other sticker, to the right, is a drawing of a scorbunny with the lesbian flag and hearts in the background. The pin has the same design, but the flag is smaller and lacks hearts. The four bottle charms contain the following flags from left to right: the new lesbian flag, sapphic, the old lesbian flag, and trixic.]

i want to hug a girl so bad, i miss physical touch :(

making someone you love blush is the best

come stargazing with me !!

if your partner body shames you for any reason, whether its your height, your weight, how skinny or fat you are, leave (or talk to them, but if they dont change, leave). they dont deserve you if theyre going to treat your body like that.

i want to kiss her and feel her eyelashes flutter against mine

the moment you realize youre in love with them is the best moment <3

theyre in your bed but im writing a letter to you confessing my feelings in ink, we are not the same

im so touchstarved.. i just want to hug her :(

your partner is doing your eyeliner. youre lying down and theyre sitting on your stomach. you look up at them and see their beautiful face smiling down at you. you smile back at them and close your eyes. they do your eyeliner and cup your face gently, brushing their thumb over your cheek. they tell you theyre finished, and you open your eyes. with your hands on their waist, you slowly move your face closer to theirs and brush your lips against theirs. 

i want to call her and just talk about nothing and everything or sit in silence with the reassuring thought that shes on the other end

what if we were sitting on a park bench and you put your head on my shoulder?

i love listening to her talk

PRETY GIRL PLAY WITH HAIR WHILE I REST HEAD IN LAP WHILE PICNIC DATE PLSSS IM BEGGING GOD PLEASEEEEE

“When you’re nonbinary, no matter who you date on it’s gay” sounds nice for the memes, but it also means internalized homophobia no matter who you crush on and that isn’t as much of a humorous experience.
