"Why are you still on tumblr, it's a dead site" Tumblr is the ONLY site that still works in the way of -Follow this person, see their posts- instead of -you stopped scrolling and stayed on this post for .2 seconds longer than others, here's 100 more posts like it- I hate algorithms. Tumblr has its many issues. But at least I keep my choice of what I see.

thank you to every single fucking person on this god forsaken site that has ever posted your own art or writing. You really put a vulnerable, important part of yourself out in the open on the hellscape that is the internet and if that isnt an act of bravery and a labor of love I dont know what one is

Ah yes my favorite shipping reason: do they make me laugh ? Are they chaotic enough for that ? if Yes then I'm very likely to ship it.

Bonus point if they're also adorable.

The amount of self proclaimed left wing people who are willing to openly and proudly say "yeah, I think eugenics is okay and good actually" when it comes to disabled people is honestly disgraceful

My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it's completely free if you're in one of the "at risk" groups.

"What does that mean," he asks. "It's free if you're gay," he's told. "Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or...?" "Just put in a check mark here."

My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's officially gay. Congrats bro.

When it comes to asexual allyship a lot of people wanna have their cake and eat it too (pun unintended). People like a lil 'aces are valid' moment but don't actually unpack compulsory sexuality. People see sexless queer representation and always clock puritanism before they ever clock asexuality. No one's actually reading the ace theory and texts coming out. Everyone keeps doing surprised Pikachu faces whenever a conservative or TERF says they're against asexuality despite the fact ace activists have been saying since day conservatives are not anti sex but anti sexual autonomy. 'Aces are queer' until we actually are. Even ace support posts keep ending with some expectation or condition that asexuality is #valid as long as asexuals still perform a small quota of sex/sexual activity. I'm so over 'Aces still have sex!' 'Aces are hot' Aces are sexy' 'Aces aren't virgin vanilla prude sexless puritans!' disguised as support.

Like no. Sorry. Until you accept that some asexual people's no is permanent, that some asexual's singleness is permanent, that some asexual's childless-ness is permanent, that some asexuals are the 'no' in little to no sexual attraction and i'd say most importantly, that queer sexlessness isn't a biological, social or moral failing, I don't believe you'll ever genuinely support asexuality. (In reverse, I also feel similar about aromanticism and romance).

Like a lot of u haven't gone beyond 'the a isn't for ally' and it shows. I don't want people to support asexuals just because we're soooo hot or because we write the best smut apparently or because we could have hypothetical sex or because we could do hypothetical kink or because our minds are soooo dirty actually or because we'd do romance reallllyyyy well or because we can still have kids or because asexuals hand out water bottles at the orgy or some shit. I want people to support asexuality because no sexuality is deviant and it's basic human decency.

About Time

The past few days were so chaotic for me, but didn't want to let this week go without a submission from me, so here's a short, really short story for this year's @aggressivelyarospec's #AggressivelyArospectacular event!

“You deserve to be this happy, too”

That was something Olivia, “Liv”, was used to hear from her best friend, Cecile. When Jeff met his current boyfriend, “You deserve to be this happy, too”. When Amanda got engaged, “You deserve to be this happy, too”. When Nora welcomed her first baby, “You deserve to be this happy, too”.

Liv knew she didn’t say it with malice. They’ve talked about Liv’s place on the aromantic spectrum and Cecile had sworn she understood, but Liv knew it was still hard for her to fully grasp what it meant for Liv, for her future.

Cecile’s definition of happiness was nowhere near what Liv wanted, but she didn’t see the point in arguing with her best friend about it. Instead she just smiled and let her go back to celebrate their friends’ achievements. It wasn’t ideal, but it was easier and Liv needed easier right now.

Despite her inability to fully understand Liv, Cecile was a pretty good friend. She always made sure to include her in her adventures and even cancelled dates with her boyfriend if she already had plans with Liv. She respected and appreciated her, and that was more than enough for Liv. Who cared if she was a little confused about who Liv was. There was time for that. They had all the time and Liv was patient. She could wait.

“You’d be miserable if you were normal.”

Liv stopped on her tracks and stared at Cecile. They were at the local park walking their dogs and holding an ice cream cone each, taking their time to savor it as the little guys sniffed their way around. For a second Liv thought she’d heard her wrong, taken aback by the use of the word ‘normal’ in such a way, so she had to think for a couple of seconds before confirming that, yeah, Cecile had said that. “Sorry?”

“You’d be miserable if you were normal,” Cecile repeated, liking a drop of ice cream from her hand as she struggled to keep her dog away from a puddle.

“What do you mean,” Liv asked, striding to catch up with her.

“Well, I’ve been thinking. About what we talked about the other day? About you hating romantic stuff and all that?”

“If by ‘the other day’ you mean almost a year ago, yeah, okay. And the word ‘hate’ was never mentioned, but sure.”

Cecile snorted but Liv noticed she was blushing. “Okay, fair. But anyway, I’ve been thinking and realized… I can’t even see you doing all that stuff people are supposed to do.” She stopped and focused on Liv’ eyes, like she was looking for a confirmation of what she just said. “Like ‘normal’ stuff,” she added, actually mimicking the air quotes which made Liv smirk. “Like marriage or kids. That’s so not your thing, you know?”

“Okay?” Yeah, she knew.

Cecile resumed walking, finishing her ice cream in the process while Liv followed. “And now I’m thinking I’m really glad you never listened to me because you’d be miserable if you had to live that life and I don’t want you to be miserable,” she cleaned her fingers on the fabric of her jeans and threw her arm around Liv’s shoulders. “I like you like this, weird and a little bit ruthless. Society's expectations would look terrible on you, babe.”

“Well, I can do that. Anything for you, ‘babe’.” Cecile laughed and pulled her closer to her as they kept walking.

Maybe Liv didn’t have to wait that long for Cecile to fully understand her.
