I have multiple #Fediverse accounts across many platforms. While I find #Friendica to be the most robust and most #FeatureRich, I find #GNUsocial to be the most #fun. I just wish I could motivate myself to get around to setting up my own instance. !sns
Rubber Duckie You're the one You make bath time Lots of fun!
Keeping it light this Sunday morn! This cute little duckie has been known to make an appearance for the Grandkids thru out our home, always bringing a smile to their faces.
There is a lot of hurt in our history as queer people. But hey, we are still here. We will still be here tomorrow. And the day after that. And maybe even the day after that. And we can still laugh. Maybe even with more honesty than endo cishets would be able to.
Both of these points are irrelevant and don't matter though. We don't have to build up our identity on our hurt, or as in contrast to endo cishets. We are so so much more than that. Both of these would mean letting their actions be the deciding factor in what we are and stay stuck in their norms.
But we are discoverers. We go outside the norms of the societies we live in. To find something that feels right. That feels true. That feels like us. In this we can't be explorers though, but instead have to be builders. Building new realationships to ourselves and the world around us everywhere we go, because we can't claim something, that isn't ours to claim. We can take what is freely given, but everything else we will build ourselves through this. Words, meanings, relationships and so much more we will build. The only limits being our relationship to us and the world surrounding us. To remain true in that. To not take, but talk. To not dominate, except when in play. And to defend ourselves, when their dominations aren't play. But also to not let that stop us from discovering.
Queerness is something you can follow where ever, as long as you find ways to express who you are, without coercively dominating your surroundings. Queerness is the little play saying no to the no to play. We play and in it discover ourselves. We share our joy freely and don't guard it jealously, knowing that this would be to heavy and suffocate the fun.
We are discoverers. Discoverers of fun. Because what else is there to discover but fun?
There aren't many of these mustelids on Mull, so I was surprised and amused to see one out in the open, bouncing down the road towards me one day.
It seemed pre-occupied with a piece of bark that had fallen from one of the forestry trucks, and was playing with it for a while, before leaping around manically, and then vanishing into the undergrowth.
