robotspeaks asked: I only meant teenage kids using the label of being bi to rebel against authority. Or the stereotypical scene girl claiming to be bi to be "different". I see it as insulting to the people who can't come out, or are afraid of being persecuted or who are still confused by what they fell.

robotspeaks asked: Ok thanks for the answer :), that is pretty much my view as well only you've summed it up more intelligently then I ever could. I just don't like the idea that you are either gay or straight and bi just seems so co-opted by people looking for attention.
robotspeaks asked: I see that you used the term queer to describe what your into, what did you mean by that?

anticapitalist:
There were only two of us, wandering listlessly in the night. The city glowed bright in all of its excess. When we stepped foot in that abandoned warehouse, the first thing we saw was the burned out lightbulbs, hanging from the mold-spattered ceiling. It only took us a couple minutes to switch out that vacuum-filled shell. We hadn’t only made a change in the warehouse, but in our...

Our white sisters radical friends love to own pictures of us sitting at a factory machine wielding a machete in our bright bandanas holding brown yellow black red children reading books from literacy campaigns holding machine guns bayonets bombs knives Our white sisters radical friends should think again.

Crush, Ada Limón
Maybe my limbs are made mostly for decoration, like the way I feel about persimmons. You can’t really eat them. Or you wouldn’t want to. If you grab the soft skin with your fist it somehow feels funny, like you’ve been here before and uncomfortable, too, like you’d rather squish it between your teeth impatiently, before spitting the soft parts back up to linger on the tongue like burnt sugar or...
