Hey folks — I’m currently looking to potentially transfer ownership of this community.

I originally created it to help bring people together and hopefully serve as a space for folks migrating from r/QueerDefenseFront.

It’s been great seeing it take shape, but lately I’ve found myself stretched thin — I moderate a ton of other communities here on Blahaj and across Lemmy, and it’s become a bit much to manage.

My Mental Health has taken a dive, as well.


To be clear: I’m not leaving! I still plan to post, comment, Moderate, and stay active — I just don’t have the time, energy, or capacity to continue owning the community.

If you’re interested in potentially taking on ownership, and helping guide the space forward, feel free to reach out via commenting down below.

Solidarity and thanks 💜✊🏳️‍🌈

Hey comrades,

Quick post to say: I’m currently looking for more moderators to help run this space.

I started this community with the goal of building a strong, supportive, and resilient community for queer folks — especially those who believe in organizing, mutual aid, and standing up for one another, as well as (hopefully) bring r/Queerdefensefront to the Fediverse, in case something happens/happened to the Subreddit.

But right now, I’m stretched pretty thin.

I’m already moderating a bunch of other communities across Blahaj and other instances, and it’s getting a bit overwhelming.

My Mental Health isn't doing so good, either.

If you're down to help keep this space active, safe, and focused, I’d really appreciate it.

You don’t need tons of experience — just a commitment to the values of the community and a willingness to check in when you can.

Feel free to comment below, if you're interested or want to know more.

Solidarity always ✊🏽 – Teknevra

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to remind everyone that this space is open for ALL of us to share our thoughts, experiences, and discussions. As the creator and a mod here, I want to assure you that there is no gatekeeping. Everyone, whether you're a user or a fellow mod, is encouraged to post freely.

I've noticed that I'm often the only one posting, and while there ARE comments, it would be wonderful to see more activity from all of you. Your voices and perspectives are what make this community vibrant, so don't hesitate to start a conversation or share something you think is important.

Let's work together to make this space as lively and supportive as it can be!

Thanks, and looking forward to seeing more posts!

The video features an elderly Grandad SpongeBob reflecting on his life in Bikini Bottom. He recounts his early days building his home (0:04), working at the Krusty Krab with Mr. Krabs and Squidward (0:20-1:07), and describing the diverse clientele and quirky residents of Bikini Bottom (1:08-1:33).

A significant portion of his reflection is dedicated to his relationship with Patrick Star (1:34-2:50). He describes their friendship, shared activities, and eventually living together (1:45). Grandad SpongeBob also touches upon the inability to marry under the sea due to the king (1:56-2:00) until surface dwellers gained the right to marry in 2015 (2:03-2:06). He shares a poignant moment where Patrick, towards the end of his life, expressed regret for not being his husband, to which SpongeBob affirmed their bond regardless of a piece of paper (2:24-2:50).

Finally, Grandad SpongeBob mentions that he doesn't visit his old home much anymore as the pineapple house has rotted away, but Patrick is buried there and remains with him in spirit, especially through music (2:56-3:11).

This is terrible, but maybe some good will come of it.

Like Stonewall, people need to be goaded into standing up for their rights sometimes.

What do you think?

Same-sex marriage time capsule (self.queer_defense_front)
submitted 1 week ago by Teknevra to c/queer_defense_front

"Project 2026" has just been unveiled by the Heritage Foundation, promising yet again to overturn Obergefell. Of course, this is no surprise to anyone.

I'm thinking that soon - either now, or in the event an overturn is confirmed -, someone in our community should make a time capsule of memorabilia related to same-sex marriages in the US, and seal it up once the non-recognition law becomes official/enforced, only unlocking it once same-sex marriage becomes legal again in all 50 states (or whatever is left of them).

Items in the time capsule could be photos, love stories, or similar from same-sex couples, and could be focused on the specific states where the RFMA won't permit new marriages to happen anymore (e.g., a photo of Pete Buttigieg and his husband for Indiana). If the legal knock-downs continue, more items could be added to the capsule as non-recognition becomes the law in more states.

The time capsule would be accompanied by a website detailing all of its contents. I would recommend it be stored in either NYC or San Francisco.

Although I realize this isn't a progressive or defensive action in itself, I believe making a time capsule would serve an important symbolic purpose, serving as a reminder of what we once had and making it clear that our rights are not thrown away - they are merely locked behind a closed door.
