every time something riot worthy happens in france there will be people on the streets with fireworks and pitchforks and military grade protest gear within like four hours of the news breaking and every time i am just like. do french people just have these things laying around? ready at a moments notice? can i have some??
all queer history on here is just US-American or maybe sometimes some UK history as well and it makes me sad that there’s so little information about other countries’ queer history on here :(
@makingqueerhistory has some diversity, as of historical queer people, and they’re doing a great job, but there’s a lot of work ahead.
OP is definitely right, there still is a huge gap in the discussions of queer history, and thank you for recommending us!
This isn’t perfect, and many of these only have one article, but here is our list of countries we have written about. We are hoping to one day have at least one article for every country in the world but as @every-book-has-a-secret there is a lot of work still to do.
I’d like to add Tom Of Finland (Touko Valio Laaksonen), the one who drew those erotic pictures of muscular men clad in leather, to the Finnish list.
Some say that Tom Of Finland was the father for the leather gay movement.
PERUVIAN QUEER HISTORY???? God, I love this site
[ID: The Chris Fleming “was anybody going to tell me” meme. A person standing in front of a brick wall speaks, with the captions edited to read, “Okay, was anybody going to tell me that my country has queer history I would’ve adored to know before, or was I just supposed to learn it from a wholesome Tumblr post myself?”]
@queerasfact is a pretty cool blog and podcast dedicated to international queer history!
Thanks for tagging us! We’ve got a list here of all our episodes sorted by country. There’s definitely a lot we haven’t covered, but if you’re looking for a specific area, you can check it out.

My brother studies French as one of his hobbies and I asked him if he studies French because he thinks it’s beautiful or something and he said No he thinks it’s just okay sounding. He mostly learns French because he thinks Quebec is interesting and it’s fun to make French speakers mad about your grammar online.
It is extremely easy to make French speakers angry about your French grammar, btw. According to most people I know who speak French as a second language they even do it to each other. If you like making people angry but need a mostly harmless way to do it I’d suggest learning French.
before you see something and recoil at the price, be it handmade items, services, art, whatever. when you see something and you think, “i wouldnt pay more than $15 for that,” you seriously have to ask yourself: if i were offered that same $15, would i make this object? would i spend the time to teach myself this skill to get this done, for $15? would i do this service for that same $15? would that be worth my time and effort?
yeah, that handmade necklace is $140. you might only be willing to pay $40 for that same necklace, but would you make it for $40 if someone asked you to?
you want to pay the babysitter fifteen bucks for the three hours she’s watching your child. but would you honestly do that for $15? would you go into a stranger’s house and change their baby’s diaper and care for its needs, for $15?
you think its ridiculous that this artist is charging $30 for an icon commission. would you spend years catching up to their skill level to make that same drawing, start using your skill to make some extra cash, and then spend three hours on a drawing just to get $15?
would you be willing to work for $5 an hour?
no?
then don’t be angry when someone else won’t.
you don’t have buy the service, it’s okay if some things aren’t within your budget or comfort zone, and it’s also okay if the product isn’t worth that much money to you. but do not be angry. be glad, because you know of another person out there who isn’t being exploited for their time.
So true. My husband is a graphic designer, freelance. And he charges for the project itself, his time to do the thing, plus any extras he may need to do in order to complete the project for them, especially if he needs to start altering files or creating art for the project.
He regularly charges $3000+ for his work. And he always has work and repeat clients.
Don’t sell artists short just because you think it’s not worth it.
My dad, a successful contractor, once told me about giving an estimate for a job: “If you don’t feel a little guilty about how much you’re asking for, you’re not asking for enough.”
Humans aren’t actually space Orcs, they’re space Orcas. For most, they’re a social, playful species. For their prey, however, the evil shit Humans can conjure up to hurt and destroy them is terrifying.
