“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”
– Raoul Duke
Nobody comes out as hetero. Nobody worries about telling their mother that they’re dating someone of the same race, or someone who identifies with the gender they were born with. Nobody says ‘dad, I was born female, and I want to stay that way’. Nobody says ‘mom, I identify as only one gender’. Nobody worries about explaining that they are in monogamous...
I chain smoke when I walk alone, so I have something to stub out on potential attackers.
This is the world of rape culture.
Had sex with the boyfriend, then I made him a sandwich. Cue the sexist lulz.
justjasper asked: If you could only pick three issues you were ever allowed to write/activism-ise (which isn't a word, but..) again, what would they be?
I don't feel bad because I'm overweight.
Actually, that’s a little confusing. I HAVE felt bad because I’m overweight. And I probably WOULD feel better if I did lose weight. But I’m exceedingly happy with my body. I love my larger breasts, I love my hips, and I love squeezing the rolls of fat on my stomach. No, I’d feel better if I lost weight because no matter how much I love myself, the annoyances of being a...

My failure of an ex boyfriend changed my...
He’s been spending the last week or so sending me threatening messages, telling me he could punch me in the face in front of my new boyfriend and he’d just let it happen, saying I have no friends, threatening to keep the things I’d left at his house, following me around when I’ve been out with friends, and showing everyone I know a sex video of us.
He’s also been...
In a loud bar, trying to cope. Loud metal music makes me panicky. But, the boyfriend is working here tonight, and I’ve nowhere else to go…
When I pass as male, nobody questions my intelligence on a given topic, and nobody tries to grope me against my will.
‘I guess he’s Xbox, and I’m more Atari’
It’s ok Cee Lo. I prefer Ataris anyway. Retro love <3
Really missing my laptop at the moment. I wanna watch Singin’ in the Rain and I don’t have it on my iPhone :(
New relationship, and for once, its healthy, and wonderful, and amazing.
:DDDDDDD
Had a dream last night about opening a vegetarian cafe that somehow avoids falling into the trap of alienating every veggie who doesn’t wear hemp and have dreads, or every meat eater who just wanted something new.
Not sure how to make this non hippy/hipster cafe, but it’s starting to seem like a good idea…
52 followers?! YAY!
I promise a semi-nude picture of myself at 60 :)
I’m planning on cooking something delicious for a friend. Anyone know any good chilli recipes?
Damn it cat, if you must sit on my lap, the least you could do is not lick your crotch the whole time.
HELP! EMERGENCY!

If you can reblog really stupid, meaningless posts, you can reblog this. Someone has to know this girl, and it might...
Seen the same breastfeeding pic on my dash twice now and I’m being sick.
I’m not anti breastfeeding, it’s just jells triggering. It squicks me worse than just pregnancy, or just babies. It’s a severe fear, and with breastfeeding especially, my response is usually uncontrollable nausea. Even typing the word makes me feel ill.
Pregnancy, babies, and the other thing all...
Stupid period stopped me from having sex with a guy who is unbelievably good at turning every inch of me into an erogenous zone. Making up for it tomorrow.
TMI? I don’t care, I’m feeling frisky.
Anyone know how to stop a period once it's...
Also, if you could tell me how to add an ‘ask’ box at the bottom of this post, that’d be real nice.
Name change has officially happened! What used to be ‘livebythem’ is now QueerOctopus. Content will remain the same.
Shaved my legs using only a razor blade, and only got injured 3 times. I am the King of Sharp Things
Half tempted to screen shot a facebook convo so a non aspie follower can tell me if the guy I like is flirting with me, or if it’s just wishful thinking
Silly uterus. You let me off the hook since October, and now you decide that you ARE going to have periods. Either quit all together or be regular. Preferably the former.
Hey everyone, a close friend of mine is in trouble...
genderbitch:
Her name is Paola and she’s a Latina trans woman. The department of labor for our state is screwing her out of money she needs to pay her rent and buy food and right now she’s in the process of getting a hearing to dispute their actions and get her back owed money.
The problem is her rent is coming due soon and she doesn’t know how many more rents will come due before this hearing....
I’d quite like to go through a day without getting in a panic, without second guessing myself, and without worrying what people think of me. Simply put, I’d like to go through a day feeling confident.
About 5 mins ago, my mother proclaimed that all most women want is to marry a rich man and have many babies, and never work, and that this is the ideal.
This is why I am a feminist.
Colour temporarily changed to honour the victims of the AZ shooting. I chose teal because it’s a peaceful colour.

It’s 2011. Are we really judging people by their character?
Imagine for a moment that this was a graphic released by the NAACP or some African-American political action group that featured the names of the 149 House Republicans who voted against H.R. 4783 (a resolution to…
Welcome, lovely new followers :)
Love it when that number gets higher. Y’all have been followed back!

A name change is imminent!
‘live by them’ was a name I came up with when this was intended to be an inspiration/happy feelings/things to think about tumblr. Now the blog has become more of a social activism place, so I think I’m due a name change.
So, in about a week’s time, this will become queer octopus.

Anyone had any experience with an ex stalking them/a family member? My aunt’s ex, who is known for changing his moods in a snap, is becoming increasingly nasty, and keeps sending her texts asking her where she is, or correctly ‘guessing’ what she’s doing. She’s terrified, but isn’t sure if the police will take it seriously.
If ye have any advice, please answer...
Today is taking a really long time. I keep thinking it’s around 5pm, GMT, and it’s only 12. Dayum!

I have a boyfriend. Sometimes, I’m his girlfriend, sometimes I’m his boyfriend, sometimes I’m both at the same time, sometimes I’m neither, and other times, I’m a mix of any of the above. And that’s ok.
If we ever get married, I hope I’m in boy mode. I want to wear a suit!

Do I even know who I am anymore? How much of my personality is truly me, and how much is my mental health problems?

Why I can't watch TV without reading the plot...
About 20 minutes ago, I was here, on the PC, and my boyfriend was watching South Park. I couldn’t see the screen, but, still, South Park made me have a flashback. [TRIGGER WARNING AFTER THE CUT]
For those who are unfamiliar, there’s an episode in which Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas rape Indiana Jones. No, I’m not exaggerating, they do show several scenes in which Indy is...
