PSA to goyim: have a Jew in your life that you care about? Ask them how they're doing as a Jew. Please, I am begging, recognize that we are Jews and have had to shoulder so much grief this year and this week especially.
This is really funny on dark mode
On dark mode this is like a clown trying to hide behind a light pole.
love the word lackluster. well it sucks because it’s not shiny
What if I just want to see physically disabled characters as tops and Doms, huh. What if I want to see us being allowed to be comfortable in our bodies, take authority, and be sexy. What if I want to see myself in a sexy physically disabled top and/or Dom. What if I want people to acknowledge that we have so much love to give and not just receive. What then.
Wild concept that shouldn’t be wild and the coldest take ever: disabled adults are *adults* and not just children trapped in adult bodies
Disabled adults have sex
Disabled adults do drugs
Disabled adults curse
Disabled adults get piercings and tattoos
Disabled adults can make adult decisions and act and behave like adults because we are adults
It’s just so weird for people to constantly infantilize me all because of my mobility aids when I’m not a child!!!
Nervously, I pull from the tarot deck. It’s the Nine of Clocks. My fate is revealed to me: It’s my bedtime, and I gotta go to sleeps
seeing a lot of discussion of upcoming food safety deregulation that doesn't provide any options beyond "don't eat pre-prepared food and buy from local farms."
therefore, i want this thread to be for tips, advice, resources, etc, for disabled people specifically to get through the upcoming food safety deregulation in the USA. please reblog and add on advice for minimizing upcoming risk when you can only eat pre-prepared and frozen meals, rely solely on SNAP/EBT for groceries, etc.
(i'll admit this is a bit selfish; i don't have any advice to start us off because i am a disabled person who relies almost exclusively on pre-prepared meals to survive and can't buy groceries if they're not SNAP eligible, so i would really, really personally benefit from tips and advice.)
stay safe and take care of each other!
I think the greatest irony of my life is when the cafeteria at my college changed all the lights to blue bulbs for “autism awareness”, which fucked with my sensory issues badly enough that I could barely stand to be in the building
I was certainly aware of my autism, at least.
Flashback to that one moment where it felt like I'd found an aroace cheatcode on life somehow
Oh, this red string you see wrapped around my finger? You're asking if it connects me to my one true love? An understandable mistake, but I'm aromantic. This is for my conspiracy board.
hey as a local aroace, i want to specify something.
were no strangers to love. you know the rules and so do i (do i). a full commitments what im thinking of. you wouldnt get this from any other guy. i just wanna tell you how im feeling. gotta make you understand. never gonna give you up. never gonna let you down. never gonna run around and desert you. never gonna make you cry. never gonna say goodbye. never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Sex is optional. This is true for everyone, not just asexual people.
Romance is optional. This is true for everyone, not just aromantic people.
"but aces and aros can be in relationships"
Yes, I know that, but do YOU know that aces and aros in relationships are still aces and aros? Do you internalize that? Are you aware that we don't just suddenly turn straight, or gay or anything else?
Yes, even demis
Are you aware that a sex repulsed asexual will still be sex repulsed even in a relationship, and so, might never fuck you?
Are you aware that a romance repulsed aro will still be romance repulsed even in a seemingly normative relationship and might not like doing typical romantic gestures and activities?
Are you aware that a sex neutral or positive asexual might not actually be sexually attracted to you at all even if they do fuck you?
Are you aware that a romance neutral or positive aro might not actually be romantically into you even if they are comfortable with typical romantic gestures?
Are you aware that our identities are just as permanent as yours?

Real (i have 1000 hours in scrap mechanic and minecraft)
For aro/ace writers:
- you don't have to write sex scenes. Tolkien didn't
- you don't have to write romance. Lewis didn't
- you can write very close friendships that have nothing romantic nor sexual in them. Scott Lynch did
- you can write sexual relationships that don't involve romance. Sapkowski did
- you can write romantic relationships that don't involve sex. Pratchett and Gaiman did
Don't let anyone tell you that some kinds of relationships are impossible or that a story must contain some themes. It's your story, write it the way you want
I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the 'worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times' is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I've been in shock all day since it came out.
check on your Māori friends, e hoa mā. see what they need. see how you can help. everyday, we see and experience racism. from people around us, up to our government. community care will save us.
