Just a sideblog to show some pride and positivity! Mostly reblogs (I'm aromantic. That kinda covers it! Any pronouns are fine, but prefer he/they (^u^) )

being on the aro spectrum would be a lot easier if being single wasn't made to feel like a literal death sentence

at some point we gotta acknowledge that getting the majority of your news and takes and general opinions from tumblr is not meaningfully different than getting it from tiktok even though on here it's in textual form. understanding the world through the lens of viral videos vs understanding it through breathless unsourced text posts written by dykeastarion69

I fully support Pluto as an aro symbol (x) but as a space scientist I cannot support any arguments that claim it's because Pluto should be a planet. The true reason Pluto is an aro symbol is precisely because people tie the amount of love and care this wonderful celestial body receives to which label it has. Just because a relationship with someone is not labeled as romantic should not mean that this relationship has to be treated as less worthy of time and care and effort. Just because Pluto is not labeled as a planet does not mean it is less worthy of our time and care and effort.
Here is another reason Pluto is aro: Pluto has a heart shaped region called the Tombaugh region:
[ID: an image of Pluto and it's heart shaped Tombaugh region, with the moon Charon in the background. End ID]
Now, Pluto and it's moon Charon are tidally locked, meaning they always face each other with the same hemisphere. Pluto's heart is always facing away from Charon. Some articles have phrased this as being tragically romantic, but I disagree! Here are two celestial objects orbiting each other for billions of years, and they are doing this while Pluto keeps it's heart hidden. Because in this case, love is not part of the equation that makes up their bond, romance does not play a part in their gravitational pull towards each other. That's aro as fuck, in my humble opinion.

(This is a joke poll none of these things are real.) Queer people from America, what are your priorities?
Transgender operations on illegal immigrants in prison
Executing Babies
Eating Pets
Stopping wind turbines from causing cancer
(All of these idiotic answers are taken from stupid things that Trump said last night.)

While separating relationships into strictly sexual, platonic, or romantic or some combination of those is fine for understanding the aromantic and asexual spectrum at a basic level, we must eventually understand that some relationships will never fit into these categories and often queer relationships are more complex than that, and our definition of queer relationships must include abstract relationships.

Hey, if you have half a minute and care about the LGTBQIA+ community in the EU, I'd suggest you take a look at this initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU.
1 million people are required to sign, but there's barely 100k. The form takes less than a minute, it only requires your ID, name and surname.
Please, help spread the initiative so that it can reach the goal ASAP!

More of you need to realize "male" and "female" are just collections of bodily traits typically found together. Nothing more.

LOVE when people are like, you're not special, that can also apply to closeted lesbians etc etc when you're describing an aromantic experience, as if it's a gotcha moment. You're right!!!! It can!!!! And guess what? We as a community have more in common than we don't, and that should be celebrated, not used as a basis to dismiss one groups experiences and elevate anothers
