Loves and stratagems

essektheylyss:

Actually, watching folks continue to insist that any queer relationship that isn’t explicitly and overtly romantic or sexual in media is “cowardly” is not only exhausting, but genuinely fucking infuriating.

First, queer coding is not the same as queerbaiting, and queer coding absolutely had and still has its place in all types of art, second, it’s restricting to the types of characters and stories that queer artists can create, especially queer creators who are not out, professionally or at all, and third, your conceptualization of what is queer enough is exclusionary. End of story.

the uk government is trying to scrap the human rights act.

i’ve not seen a lot in the media about this so i’m going to do my best to put this into words and explain what will happen if the government is successful in replacing the human rights act with the rights removal bill.

this will mean that in the uk:

• you won’t be allowed to say anything negative about the government
• if you are disabled or chronically ill, you won’t be allowed to say no to being given a DNR in hospital
• you won’t be allowed to bring ‘trivial’ human rights violations to court
• public authorities (the police) won’t have to actively protect people’s human rights
• the uk military will be allowed to basically do whatever they want overseas
• if you ever commit a crime, they can disregard your human rights
• the government will not be obligated to obey human rights

if you are from the uk PLEASE sign this petition, and also to everyone else, please please please share this.

Here’s an article explaining why it’s so awful.
