#erosous asexual

[isobug]

Erosous Ace

An Ace / Acespec person who participates in or enjoys Erosy / Erosous activities, partnerships, etc.

Similar to Non-celibate Ace as a concept but covering everything Erosy includes ( affection, amory, amato-relationships, gamy, practice, acts, sex drive/life, libido, desire, stimulus, erotic love, etc. )

It may be used alongside or in place of other terms which it has overlap with! This may include Sexuace, Libidoist Ace, etc.

Inclusive of both Polyerosous Aces ( Polyeraces ), Monoerosous Aces ( Monoeraces ), and those who are Ambierosous !

( definition given by anon, I also talk a bit about it here )

For the flag I used this Asexual / Asexual spectrum flag by potionflags because it was easier to blend with the pink and red stripes. Those stripes are both inspired by these Polyerosous flags, the Ambierosy flag, and this Erosoplatonic flag!

The trans women compounding and distributing their HRT are the real “daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn”. Not just in a dollcore, ES-pilled, porcelainmaxxing sorta sense either. The inquisition and persecution of witches was in part a process of removing knowledge and power from the lower classes and starting the rise of the pervasiveness of the approved bodies of social control. The guilds of protocapitalism paved the way for the modern hospitals, schools and even just moving companies. Services once provided by individuals and neighbours are now to be outsourced to monlithic bodies of paid experts. Now with the internet and the smooth, instant asexual reproduction of the digital age, this endangered information returns to the wild, visible to anyone curious. Any leak from the monolithic channels of institutions can be collected, reproduced infinitely and sourced by anyone anywhere. Erosion has begun. Knowledge of production and administration of somatic freedom has seeped back into the smooth channels of the smooth channels of the open circuit. Image macros, anonymous forums, dedicated websites are the new tomes, scrolls and bubbling cauldrons of this smooth digital age.

So my husband told me the other day that I couldn’t be mossifying because I don’t stay hydrated enough and I’m salty about that so rather than hydrate I want to know if there’s any kind of moss that doesn’t require a lot of moisture, or even thrives without it?

Oh no, I've got good news though!! You absolutely can be mossifying on low hydration, there's a whole range of mosses that do well in arid climates :) They're very important to help protect from soil erosion and can also prevent invasive grasses from spreading.

Here are a few:

Syntrichia laevipila does really well with low moisture, notably having a growth structure that allows it to reproduce asexually. This is a particular advantage in dry places because while mosses that reproduce sexually require water for sperm cells to be released to begin the cycle, mosses like Syntrichia laevipila do not and can repopulate themselves from tiny fragments with little hydration.

Then there's silver moss (Bryum argenteum), which is a super common moss that resists just about everything, including full desiccation. Silver moss can live well on low hydration and is frequently found in urban areas as well, growing on walls and in sidewalk crevices. It can also spread by shedding fragments when people or animals step on it and then regenerating in a new location

Ceratodon purpureus, also called redshank or fire moss, loves dry, sandy soil. It has also adapted well to urban areas due to its high pollution tolerance. Fire moss can be found just about anywhere in the world, including in the Antarctic! (fun moss fact: mosses that are drought tolerant are often freeze resistant as well)

Also, most mosses--even those that require lots of moisture--are able to go dormant to wait out a dry spell, and then rehydrate and come back to life once conditions are good again!

4 Varieties of Privet Invasive Species

Privet is a shrub brought to North America by European settlers around the mid-1800s, who planted them as ornamental plants. While many subspecies of privets exist, the 4 main ones found in Pennsylvania are Chinese privet, European privet, Japanese privet, and border privet. Over time, plant health care experts have identified these as privet invasive species. The damage caused by these plants includes crowding out native plants and reducing biodiversity.

Types of Privet Invasive Species

These 4 specific varieties of privet mentioned above have all been added to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Noxious Weeds list. As such, these privet invasive species will no longer be available for purchase in nurseries and other flower shops, and homeowners are encouraged to replace any of these species on their properties with different plants. Here is what you need to know about these 4 species.

Chinese Privet

Chinese privet is native to China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The fast-growing shrub can grow up to 15 feet in height, forming dense thickets. The leaves are around 1-3 inches long and glossy dark green, and the leaves appear early in spring before the white flowers appear in mid-to-late summer (June through August). The fruits are black drupes with hard shells containing one seed each. These ripen in the fall and persist on the plant throughout winter until removed by birds or other animals.

European Privet

European privet is native to central and southern Europe. This species, with glossy dark green leaves, can grow anywhere from 12-15 feet tall. In the spring, European privet produces white flowers, and in the fall, black fruits poisonous to humans. In addition, the flowers have a strong, pungent fragrance that many people find unpleasant.

Japanese Privet

Japanese privet is native to central and southern Japan. This species is an evergreen shrub, a small tree that can grow anywhere from 7-16 feet tall with a spread of 10-15 feet. The leaves are broad and glossy dark green above, with a paler glaucous to yellow-green color below, and have a thick, leathery texture. White flowers appear in the early summer followed by purple-black fruits in early winter.

Border Privet

The border privet is native to Japan, Korea, and northeastern China. Border privet is a deciduous shrub that grows to 9-10 feet tall with glossy leaves that can be 1/2 to 2 inches long. The white flowers appear in early summer, and black fruits follow in late summer or fall.

What Makes Privets an Invasive Species?

These species of privet are found throughout landscapes in Pennsylvania, but because the plant is not native to this region, privets have no natural predators or competitors. Due to this lack of natural predators, privets can more easily outcompete native vegetation for sunlight, nutrients, and water.

Privets reproduce sexually (by seeds) and asexually (by sprouting new shoots from their roots). This allows them to spread quickly through disturbed soil created by fires, forest clearings, erosion, or abandoned agricultural land.

Finally, privet trees proliferate quickly, often reaching maturity within five years after germination. Many other plants take 10-20 years before reaching maturity.

Damage Caused by Privets

The damage caused by privets is widespread in the United States. These species cause damage to landscapes and native ecosystems, preventing native plants from growing and reducing populations of pollinators such as butterflies and honeybees.

Treating & Managing Privets

Treating and managing privets is best done by professionals with specialized equipment.

Individual, small privets can be pulled by hand and can be done year-round. An important note is that roots must be removed entirely from the ground to prevent resprouting. Larger stems require specialized equipment that a plant health care expert can access.

Mowing can be an effective treatment and control method, but an herbicide application to the cut surfaces must follow. In addition, the time after cutting to apply herbicide changes based on whether the herbicide is oil- or water-based.

Foliar herbicide treatments are also highly effective for treating landscapes with privets, especially with low to moderate plant densities. These treatments are ideal during mid-May to early fall.

Basal bark treatments are effective against privets and can be applied throughout the year.

As always, these control and treatment options require specialized, extensive knowledge of plant health care techniques. So, call a plant health care expert if you need help with privets in your landscape.

Contact Burkholder PHC for Invasive Plant Treatment & Removal

These 4 varieties of privets are invasive species, and can overtake landscapes, with their dense thickets preventing native plant species from growing. To keep your landscape healthy and able to thrive, we recommend a professional evaluation to help remove and control any adverse effects. Our evaluation is free, and the proper treatments can help improve the health of your landscape. Contact Burkholder PHC today for a free consultation.

A Condensed Timeline of Early Anti-Ace Blogging infographic by Coyote

[Transcript under the cut]

2010 – Gathering Storm: Drama Group ONTD_Feminism on LiveJournal began featuring ace material as a launchpad for harassment.

2011 – Spread to Tumblr: Anti-ace blogging expanded its reach, promoted by Tumblr blogs like “Privilege Denying Asexuals.” Harassment efforts continued to escalate.

2012 – Trolling in the Tags: Irrelevant & hostile posts were flooding the main ace tags on Tumblr to the point that Hezekiah proposed the #ActuallyAsexual tag to use instead.

2015 – Community Erosion: Anti-ace blogging thrived in the Tumblr environment, driving many aces away from the community.

Today, many more newly-identified aces don’t realize how far back these things go, which is why there have been efforts to repair community memory. As a whole, looking back on this history points to the importance of substantial safeguards against harassment.

Panace pride and love of hearts

Pride Month is coming to a close, and it hasn’t been an overwhelmingly positive one, with the erosion of women’s (and others’) rights with Roe v. Wade being overturned, and the distinct possibility that Obergefell v. Hodges as well as other significant decisions could be next.  This year, for me, June has been a reminder that bigots never really take a holiday—quite the opposite, as this month has a way of emboldening them; the Hide the Pride campaign affecting public libraries across the country is just one example.

In light of all the depressing stuff, I wanted to write something more positive about being queer and being a heart lover—two parts of my identity that are irrevocably intertwined.  I knew early on that I was different in more ways than one.  I was obsessed with my Fisher Price stethoscope, and dreamed of using it with/on everyone I cared for.  I never knew anyone else who felt so strongly about heartbeats. A few years later, I knew that I did not experience attraction the same way most of the population does.  It felt empowering to come out as a lesbian at 20, but flipping through Curve magazine never felt quite right.  I was into my twenties before I learned about asexuality on the internet: the orientation that involves experiencing little or no sexual attraction.  I just wanted to listen to hearts, to be listened to; it was no type of foreplay and the goal was not arousal.  I cherish the opportunity to share that intimacy with friends and significant others alike.  I love romance as much as most, but feel anything from indifference to outright repulsion at sexual imagery.  My disinterest in sex led me to denying my attraction to women, men, and other genders because it seemed that allosexuality is compulsory in society, as though my attraction could not be valid if it didn’t have a sexual component.  It was quite some time before I realized that attraction truly is as varied as colors of the rainbow, to be cheesy about it. :) I think of my love of hearts and my overwhelming desire to share it with people I love is just something that makes me that much more wonderfully queer.

Despite the unfortunate makeup of our Supreme Court and how it makes me fear for the future, I feel so encouraged when I see young people living out loud and understanding what took me 20+ years to comprehend.  They’re realizing they’re asexual, and they aren’t broken because of it; they’re realizing they’re gay, lesbian, bi, or pan, and that doesn’t make them mentally ill and they don't need conversion therapy.  They’re realizing that they’re trans or otherwise genderqueer, and it doesn’t mean they’re confused at all.  They’re seeing more and more representation in books, TV, films, music, and every aspect of pop culture.  I’m meeting more and more mental health professionals that understand these identities, and seek to understand them better instead of pathologizing them.  I know there is so much more work to be done, but I’m so glad that most younger people won’t be saddled with the kind of doubt and self-loathing that I was.

[cracks knuckles] Alright, time to repost my annelid propaganda from a few months back, because I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW PRETTY AND COOL AND IMPORTANT WORMS ARE!!!!!!!

I study marine annelids, otherwise known as polychaete worms! These little guys are an important bio-indicator for environmental conditions on the seafloor - their presence, absence, and health can tell us a lot about the health of their ecosystem! They can be absolutely gorgeous, too - GUARDS, RELEASE THE ALEXANDER SEMENOV PHOTOGRAPHY

Just look at these beautiful, colorful miniature dragons!!!!! Such graceful curves, perfectly placed parapodia (LITTLE FEETIES)!!!!!!!

I'm gonna run out of room to add images so I'll probably add a reblog or two with more propaganda lol

Look at this one!!! Its face is LITERALLY :3

But with SECRET JAWS!!!! >:D

This worm is asexual!!! No, really, I mean it for real. This worm hangs out in coral reefs, and produces a bunch of clones of itself to swim up and fuck for it instead of going up there to do it itself. Asexual legend.

THIS WORM HAS LITTLE NUBBY HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at those fuckin Whiskers (antennae). That is a Mouse , to me.

These beautiful creatures are different types of fanworm! The one of the left is called a Christmas tree worm! Just look at the little guy! They use their fans to filter tiny bits of food from the water column, while the worm itself stays safely in its burrow. Many fan worms actually play a key role in mitigating coastal erosion because of their burrows! Their bodies and burrow linings act like plant roots, stabilizing the sediment and preventing erosion from waves or storms.

Some of the key research that I'm working on right now has to do with sediment stabilization and worm activity! I'm currently studying Capitellid worms, these funky little guys that are impossible to get a good picture of:

Wait, what was that? Computer, ENHANCE

Yeah, that's basically a Muppet. Look at that SMILE

These little guys are found in soft sediment ecosystems all over the world! My current research aims to understand the relationship between worm burrowing activities, physical sediment stability, and chemical fluxes between the sediment and overlying seawater. These guys are critical for nutrient cycling processes - when they burrow, they bring oxygenated water down into the deeper sediment, which microbes can use to break down organic matter! One of my long-term stretch goals is to be able to map out this nutrient cycling and its correspondence to worm populations. Annelids are so important, guys!!

Have some more adorable worm pics, on the house :)

JUST LOOK AT THEM. THEY'RE LITERALLY GOING 🥺👉👈 AT YOU! VOTE ANNELIDA FOR THIS SWEET LITTLE FACE!!!!!!

Phylum Round 3

Annelida: Segmented Worms. This group includes earthworms, leeches, and many classes under the umbrella of “polychaete”. This diverse phylum encompasses deposit feeders (eating dirt), detritivores, scavengers, deadly ambush predators, filter feeders, parasites, herbivores, and more. They are broadly defined by their repeating body segments and parapodia, which are nubby appendages used for both movement and breathing. Some have curved jaws for catching prey or scraping detritus off of rocks, while others have wide, elaborate, brightly colored feather-like fans for filter feeding. While able to crawl freely, a majority of marine Annelids spend most of their time in self-built tubes or burrows. Among their many important functions, they play a key role in mixing soil/sediment, breaking down decaying organic matter, and providing a key food source to countless other animals.

Cnidaria: Jellyfish, anemones, corals, box jellies, and hydroids. They have a gelatinous body with radial symmetry, a decentralized nervous system, and tentacles surrounding a simple mouth. The defining feature of this phylum are their cnidocytes, or stinging cells. There are two different body plans of the Cnidaria; an immobile “polyp” attached to a surface, or a free-living “medusa” which can swim or drift in the water column. Many polyp Cnidarians, such as corals, live in colonies. Some corals build reefs which serve as habitat for other animals. Free-living medusa Cnidarians must return to the seafloor in a polyp-like stage as a part of their life cycle.

Hello!

I just read your post about sexual attraction being so fucking weird. And I want to say thank you for writing it.

I was asexual until I was 27, (I’m 29 now) and I didn’t actually know this, before I suddenly got my sexual feelings/drive/whatever for the first time as 27 year old and I was like “oh! Okay? This is something I did not have or feel before, this is very new”.

This is the first time hearing about someone having the same experience as me.. and I didn’t know anybody else has gone through it.

I have read about asexuality and everyone describe it as “no, it is not a face. And no, an asexual’s sexual attraction will never come/suddenly show up if they meet the right person”. And I have just been confused about my former identity or whatever..

Anways… just wanted to say.. it makes me happy to hear someone else than me having gone through this. Because as you say, it puts your past in a very different light. And it also give you the view of “wow, this sexual attraction is just suuuper weird” because you lived as an adult without it. And you have tried to be in both places! It gives you a very unique perspective.

Anon if you read me, I totally get you. And I'm glad my little tumblr screeching made you feel less alone. Thanks for taking he time to share, also. I, too, feel less alone in it now.

Honestly, I've felt immensely conflicted about the slow erosion of my own asexuality for a long while. Guilty, even, because it felt like a betrayal of the ~community~.

And here I was, seeing a therapist, talking about things that on the surface were entirely unrelated to asexuality, only to slowly cause my asexuality to unravel through it. Asexuality itself being a topic I had always refused to examine in those sessions for fear of being steered towards the idea of "healing it". The irony.

True clusterfuck.

[cruelsister-moved]

DON'T RB

thinking on my own experiences i feel like the detail lost between "communicating with anyone who isn't within 6 months of your age should be a crime" and "ummmm grown adults convincing 13 year olds they're asexual and involving them in debates about whether fictional c//p is ok is just like sex ed actually" is that on the internet it's much easier to either not be aware or not fully comprehend when someone is at a very different life stage to u..

like i was a 13 year old talking to adults and they were just like me and we talked like I talked with my school friends, i didnt have that same separation and awareness that i did have with the adults in my real life & like I dont really move in these spaces anymore or talk to ppl under 18 online bc of this exact discomfort but I can imagine like w the buffer of shared fandom stuff (and the fact a lot of adults in these spaces are like. kind of socially awkward and like if someone's into all kids shows and constantly online in like very kid heavy spaces their online presence will probably seem younger than they r) its easy to get caught up and forget you're talking to someone much younger/older

LIKE yes there are situations in which adults educate kids about sex but they are very public and rigid and there is a separation between the child and the adult where both parties are aware of their very different positions. also yes there are situations in while a child or young person has like an older mentor they look up to but again, that's a relationship in which the older person is responsible for maintaining boundaries in and also which are different from if they were two friends of a similar age & im just not convinced that this separation is clear online...

like are u really the cool older aunt who like teaches them how to knit or are u actually encouraging them to broach adult topics and being more familiar with them than u would be with a 14 year old irl...like if ur venting to a teen abt ur hard day at the office or whatever that is literally still a weird burden to put on a child honestly -_- um okay yeah that's my thoughts like tldr the internet makes it less obvious (and if they r someone w genuinely bad intentions it also allows them to shield themselves frm being confronted w the fact) that someone is much younger/older than you and allows for major erosion of boundaries in a way that just doesn't happen in the same way when an adult and a younger person interact irl >_<

DONT RB

[bestia-02]

Name: Blood Lichen

Scientific Name: Sanguinomanus dividosaxum

Width: Colonies can stretch on for miles

Height: Hand stalks are 15 cm tall

Description: Despite the efforts of the pioneer algae, they have been beaten in widespread numbers by their sanguinophyte contemporaries, being able to reproduce via spore much more efficiently. The blood lichen is obviously not a true lichen, but functions very similarly as the colony will cling to Bestia-02’s barren surface with ease, while simultaneously breaking down the rock as the millennia progress. While still dependent on nearby water, the erosion of the rocky coast has allowed inlets to be worn away to a small degree, helping the blood lichen spread further. The waxy cuticle of the plant also allows it to retain water for extended periods of time, so they may fare much better than previous pioneer species when tides are low or colonies extend too far past the shoreline. While mostly reproducing asexually, the blood lichen do release spores through a hand-like stalk, hence the genus name. Sanguinomanus.

Ancestor: Possible Star Moss descendant from Gen 2

Generation: Early Gen 3

Summary:

It started as sheer pragmatism.

But now, months into the ‘arrangement’ and alone in a non-descript speeder heading deeper into Coruscant’s mid-levels, Sidious' thoughts spun away from him like the buildings blurring as he drove past.

He tells himself- has to tell himself, and increasingly often these days- he’s doing this for the empire. His empire. It will be glorious, like the Sith of Old, before their erosion and weakness, the loss of everything that made them great. This...distraction…was merely a temporary indignity. He was doing this for greatness, for ultimate power, for the long and mighty future of the galaxy under his watchful gaze.

For now, something else held his focus. Someone. Representative Binks was eye-catching, after all.
