Aromantic and, I dont concider myself queer but I guess you could say I'm trying to? Right now I feel both not straight enough AND not queer enough and that's just not sustainable.

Based on an argument from an old TAAAP blog post...

There's no right or wrong answer, I'm just curious what people's self perceptions of this are.

Tumblr doesn't give enough options for a "I'm not aro-spectrum or ace-spectrum/show results" button sorry.

coffee, brewed with coffee, from an aropress, or as I called it before being banned from ever making it again Coffee^2. I'm geeky, awkward and a bit fussy, too much for many people but hopefully just what some people need (and also liable to cause sleepless nights).

if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke

she came back normal, but theres no way they can ever be equals again after he went to such increadable lenghts to get her back. every "Honey did you put the milk back in the fridge" will have along with the spoken "No" an unspoken "But i broke the order of nature and wrestled you back from the dead" and with each the gap between them widens till its vaster than the void he crossed for her. and no way she dares leave, after seeing the lenghts he'll go too...

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

I stopped concidering myself 'straight' a while back sometime in the last 4 yaesr writing my urban fanstay thing with its alegory about amatonormativity. Still not quite able to concider myself 'queer' but its starting to take. But right now I kind of feel 'not straight enough' but also too straight.

heterosexual aros, do you consider yourself straight?

yes

no

nuanced

If sentient and not union: second class citasens liable to be abused by managment and hired in place of union humans. If sentuient and union: Stand with human workers, against managment. Conclusion : Do not join any union that excludes sentiuent robots (Or any other potential outgroup_.

If robots were sentient, would they be allowed in the union?

it'd makr a refreshing change from the bots trying to honeytrap an aro. So yeah hit me, I could use the distraction.

CEOs should be reminded that they need to be lucky every single day. The people they wrong, whose lives are ruined for a 0.00001 penny bump in the stock price? They only need to be lucky once. The wages that people could make a life and raise a family on, the protections so they had stability, the safety nets for when they stumbled? Those arent things that the 1% gave us all because they are so gosh darn generous. We got those things because the alterntave was dragging the 1%ers from their homes and murdering them. Wealth inequality is hitting the same point (and worse) now as when it was happeing too.

Any time someone makesa profit by providing a good or servace, that is value that could have gone into making a better or a cheaper good or servace. Some times this is good/nesicary. Writers need to eat, publishers (in princible) are usefull in helping get books infront of eyes. Farmers deserve to be clad, housed and entertained. But healthcare? You are litteraly proffiting off other people's misery. There should be no proffit motave here.

All useful things turn to shit when you privatize them.

Write it any way. You didnt learn to walk by crawling really well. (But be carefull, thats how my cis male aromantic ass ended out having to write a compelling lesbian romance to highlight that amatonormativity isnt just for aros to struggle with.)

every writer knows the pain of having an idea that’s “too good” to write because you know you can’t do it justice

VINDI-MOTHERFUCKING-CATION! At home (for litteral years) Ive complained at how soul destroying it is to cook for my frail emderly mother, have her not eat it and cool something else becase she's diabetic and has to eat something?

And how she and father brushed off my pleas to see a Dr about it (For again, litteral years)?

Andhow she can now hardly get up stairs ect so they finally did something?

It was all (Ladis and gentleman put your hands together and open your minds for the mordern day Cassandra) BECASE SHE WASNT EATING! I am told having caught it she should be fine. but... I mean the stress of her going to hospital is acually like a 10th of the stress of having to manage all my autism issues with no extenal support, and all her physical issues + my increasingly frail father too. So yesterday and today have been like a holiday. Father tried to make it all my fault "You need to tell me things." Was having none of it "I did. You need to take me more seriously."
