Grieve AND organize.
Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.
This is an excellent article. It talks about the psychology of tyranny, the history of resistance and the paths we have to take to rescue each other and recover.
Point #4 especially.

Happy ace week y'all
Anonymous asked:
Hi, I am trying to figure myself out, but I do not have a lot of queer people in my life (or anyone really)that I feel comfortable talking with this about (maybe I'll work on that). I have considered myself asexual for a while now, and have told some friends and my sisters this. At first, I only said this because I never really felt a motivation have any sort of intimate relationship with someone, and figured it would be a way to get my friends off my back (they are good people, but to me it seems like they're always thinking about sex and/or dating/going out and hooking up and stuff like that and I always felt uncomfortable talking about it). It's been a few years and I've noticed that I do have a sex drive, however I don't think I have ever really felt it for a person (is it obvious when you do??) I also get a weird feeling when some people touch me longer than a tap on the shoulder or something brief, I immediately try to get them to stop as it feels like my skeleton is trying to crawl out of my skin, I am unsure if this is related to being on the ace spectrum or not. I have a couple relationships in high school, kissed one SO (it felt weird, I didn't feel anything past just pressure, are you supposed to feel something) and held back from kissing the other (pretty sure she broke up with me because of that). I don't know if a label would help me, but is there anything that somewhat matches this? Sorry about the ramble, again I don't really have an outlet that I feel comfortable talking about this with.
Hello, anon! Thanks for messaging us. :)
Being ace can be different for everyone. The main thing is not having sexual attraction for someone. Aces can have a sex drive and a libido--usually taken care of by oneself through self-pleasure, or just ignoring it. There's nothing wrong with that. Asexual people aren't completely devoid of sexual feelings or arousal, just sexual attraction towards people. Desiring partnered sex innately isn't at the top of their list! Sure, they might want to have sex to have children or pleasure a partner, etc. But again, everyone is different. :)
I think you have every right to use the term "ace." Don't apologize for rambling. <3 You're just wanting to know things, which is fine!
I wish you all the best.

I came out the day after the election
and I did not do it with grace. I did not do it softly. I did not do it kindly. But I did it because I could no longer stand by and be a quiet/acceptable gay when the next generation was watching their future burn.
I came out to my mother in an awful in-your-face. I-dare-you-to-be-a-bigot way. Because I could. Because for the first time in my life I am free of having anyone relying on me.
I came out to my family. Because I watch as half my niblings have come out to me and are terrified as my siblings spout anti-gay rhetoric. I came out to my family and hope I paved the way for those young eyes who are watching their parents closely to gauge their reaction. The way I once watched my parents reacting to Ellen coming out and knew it was not safe.
I came out the day after the election to a family that voted for Trump.
I came out angry that I will be attending more funerals.
I came out feral and biting.
I did not come out gracefully.
I did not come out kindly.
I did not come out softly or quietly or acceptably*probably not a word*
I will be gay out loud.
For me
For those who would not be safe if they came out
We forget pride is not about love.
Pride is a bloody fight for survival against those who would be happy to watch us burn.
I came out
And I am not apologizing.

You deserve to see yourself represented. You deserve to see stories about people like you, made for people like you.

Okay my asexual brethren, this is for personal research: Reblog this or comment with your asexual microlabel / asexual spectrum identity and whether you found this label after already being in queer spaces (like tumblr) or through specifically looking up asexuality / your experiences
Found autochorissexual in 2017, which turned into aegosexual in 2018 here on tumblr. Finding the word was mind blogging and eye opening. I never imagined I was ace before that. And now I run an ace blog, because there weren’t any aegosexual blogs in 2017, and it’s become my home.

I think the horns should be asymmetrical, as to represent something like bilateral gynandromorphism, an intersex variation of chimerism seen very prominently in animals; They are physically split down the middle, one half being female and the other male!!! (Some examples)
I think this option would be more specific to our community because it shows visual representation of an intersex trait on the dragon itself!
I like this idea! Here is a new poll!
