a gentle reminder that not all aro/ace/aspec people dislike nsfw content. it's a spectrum for a reason. please don't treat us like soft babies that need protected. we are people with our own voices. thank you.

Thanks for noting this! I'm also ace spec. I don't want anyone else to feel infantilized, but I am speaking for my friends, not you. You can totally make your own announcement, if you'd like. Sorry if you felt like the post I made was too directed towards you and other ace/aro spec people. Thanks for dropping by! We appreciate your note.

I had a BIG long conversation with my husband about something we disagreed on, and we ended up with a very philosophical difference we have, which affected the particular action point we disagreed on.

And now you guys get to see, cause we want to see how common our views Are.

So. My husband has high standards, of cleanliness, of hard work, of efficiency, etc. My other husband has much lower standards of those same things. I lay somewhere in the middle.

I believe that all three of us are within the spectrum of ‘human moral standards’, and as such, each of our standards have equal moral value, and none is any ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than another. Our standards drawing closer to each other’s, if they do at all, is for our comfort as people living together, and is not an inherently ’better’ or ‘worse’ thing for us, as people.

My husband believes that higher moral standards are inherently better than lower ones, and that everyone should be trying to raise theirs in some way. For example, if he tries to increase my and my other husband's standards, our standards become better, and if we try to decrease his, his become worse.

Greetings!

i'm Tia, desperately trying to concoct a semblance of organizational skills.

it is really lovely of you though that you come to visit. The following links will, I like to think, give you a bird's eye view of subjects I am rather passionate about. And do drop in my asks! I love getting asks. Asks are cool.

i usually post doctor x river stuff but you'll find a smattering of other stuff here too. i love tumblr a LOT. it just hits different.

Some of my favorite shows are My Little Pony, Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Ninjago, Aang: The Last Airbender, Sherlock, Once Upon A Time, and The Gentlemen. A few of my favorite movies are the Men in Black trilogy, Divergent, the Kingsmen, Princess Diaries, Maze Runner trilogy, the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the Eagle, Encanto, Mona Lisa Smile, The Proposal, and Cruella (2021).

wow. now that i see it in a list, i guess i've always been a sci-fi and fantasy fan.

Okay so I just finished watching Outside Xtra's video on Madame Web (which I think I saw as a recommendation in tags by @a-commas-a-pause ?) and they quickly touched on the whole "is it okay to kill a child if you know that child will grow up to do horrific things?" and because I'm me, I have Thoughts™ and Opinions™ on that.

The version of this I've come across most often and I assume most other people have come across is "If you could, would you kill a baby who grows up to be Adolf Hitler?" , which

Anyway, I think this question - and other questions like it - is incredibly stupid and incredibly pointless.

Because the question either fundamentally misunderstands Nazi Germany or it's a badly worded question trying to get at the nature of punitive justice.

If it's the latter, you could just ask "is it ethical to punish someone for crimes they will commit in the future?" instead so presumably it's the former that is intended.

Which, the former is operating on the logic that removing Hitler from the equation would have just stopped Nazi Germany from happening, and the logic has no basis in reality. If it wasn't Hitler, it would have been someone else. It might have played out differently, but Hitler wasn't the sole reason that Nazis were able to take control of Germany.

This sort of question means to ask "Is it moral to kill a child to stop that child from committing atrocities in the future?"

And applying that questions to historical figures is almost entirely useless.

It is very rare that a monumental event in history occurred due to the efforts of a single individual; it's simply that the faces of these events are the ones whose names we remember.

As such, it is also very rare that you can trace a domino trail from said historical event to a singular point of origin. Hitler being rejected from art school is not the first in a domino train that ends in the Holocaust.

I think about this way more than I should realistically, but I just think the attitude we have really highlights the way we approach history, and the knock-on effects from that.

For one, it's incredibly individualistic; very Ayn Rand. It assumes that history is made not by the people, but by one singular person. It discourages working together toward a goal and encourages competition instead.

But it also betrays a level of complacency, in my opinion. As I've pointed out above, the idea of history hinging entirely on one man is a very flawed idea. In 99% of cases, it's not possible, and yet you are expected to believe otherwise. And so where do you begin an impossible task?

You don't. You think "I'm one person, I can't change the world" and so you give up, you become complacent, but you give up believing that some person can do it, just not you. And so any guilt or shame you're feeling can easily be pushed aside. It was okay that you did nothing because nothing you did would have amounted to anything because you're not The Chosen One.

It's easier to imagine history as lots of different domino trains running parallel to each other, and easier to imagine history as what Those Important People™ do while ordinary folks do nothing, because it allows you to be complacent.

And I guess that's the conclusion because all of this has just been written off the top of my head, and I actually have plans today that I need to prepare for.

Biden will lose this year because of his support of genocide. He is literally the only reason it is still happening, and that is transparent to the American people. You better find another candidate to back, now.

Distraction! Distraction! To Avoid Abstraction! sounds like a cheerleading cheer in cadence, and I literally can't read the title without thinking it in a peppy voice

Also, the neediness of both of them in the fic is just👌I love them so much I'm smashing them with hammers

Does anyone know the name of the song that goes "1, 2, 3, 4, everyone get on the dance floor- 5, 6, 7, 8, pray the lord my soul to take"?

I heard it on the radio this morning and it sounded cool, but I can't find it now because search results only get me old dance songs and christian prayers lol

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
