Telling straight people they can ID as femme if they’re feminist is the same as telling them they can ID as queer if they’re kinky. Femme originated among trans women of color and lesbians.
It’s also pretty telling that anytime you ask a queer who thinks it’s fine for straight people to ID as femme if straight men can ID as bears and twinks they get all indignant. I think it’s related to how queer people won’t bat an eye if someone IDs as a queer and as a gay man but being a lesbian is considered backwards and less queer. Some terms are valued as queer specific terms because they’re most often used by men.
The Chained Library of Zutphen
I took these pictures during a visit to the 16th-century chained library of Zutphen, in the east of the Netherlands. It is one of three such libraries still in existence in Europe. Nothing much has changed here for 550 years.

I totally forgot about this photo. I originally took it to send in for AP’s e-mook thing, since they wanted customer pictures from all over wearing their stuff. I guess it was too gothic and less sweet. The tattoo was also probably a turn off lol.

Leafy Sea Dragons
These stunning sea dragon pictures illuminate their mysterious beauty and extraordinary adaptations. The near-invisibility of their fins gives the sea dragons the appearance of floating seaweed that is drifting with the currents. Instead of scales, they have protective armor to ward off predators. The row of spines along their backs can also wound attackers. At other times they will curl into balls like porcupines in self defense. Truly extraordinary creatures.
