talks with my friends who are going to kink parties and having t4t orgies and doing petplay and then goes to sleep in my childhood bedroom and dreams of the snow, and rain

four of our mutuals have reblogged this froom us in the last ten minutes

we're not okay, are we girlies

Hooters is just an extremely American take on a maid cafe if you think about it

your not wrong but you shouldnt say it

This is incorrect. Hooters was founded in 1983, and the first permanent maid cafe, Cure Maid Cafe, was established in 2001. Maid cafe’s are an extremely Japanese take on Hooters.

also "all billionaires are like this" I am fully aware that Bill Gates is infamously a creepy and unpleasant individual but he also has spent most of the last couple of decades earnestly trying to get rid of malaria. having that amount of money is a huge structural failure and, again, he is infamously a terrible guy to be around, but it didn't turn him into a neonazi. this is not a 1:1 correlation. we really have to accept this when considering how best to dismantle billionaire influence from society. there are actually quite important differences between elon and, like, warren buffett

yes, a lot of rich people are really weird and out of touch and either ignorant of or hyperaware of their power in a way that makes them evil, but if that was not also the case for non-rich people, kamala would have won indiana

#didn’t he also try to capitalize off of privatizing the distribution of the Covid vaccine?#I admit he’s better because he’s trying to like get rid of his money as he gets older#but that’s a whole lot of capital to control

Sweetheart this is a literal right-wing conspiracy theory that you are repeating. He said in a press conference that a $10 billion investment in vaccines gives a general return on investment in economic and social benefits of about $200 billion, or 1-20. This does not mean "Bill Gates personally makes 20x his initial investment in vaccine distribution markets," it means "the global economic benefits of providing free vaccines outweigh the costs, which is why he encourages vaccine distribution"

If your principled anticapitalism is repeating r/insanepeoplefacebook talking points, it is not a good strand of principled anticapitalism!

"you do not owe friends instant responses to every social message, and anxiety over not receiving the same is something for the anxious person to work on, not your responsibility to totally change for"

AND

"you have to put some effort into friendships, which can include open communication with your friends about how to make both of you comfortable re: messaging. expecting other people to do ALL of the work ALL of the time, in terms of getting in touch and carrying on the conversation, may make them feel ignored and/or and leave"

are ideas that can and should coexist

tbh I really dislike how aphobia tends to be discussed whenever there's some kind of incident that makes it visible to general society. The most common response seems to be some variation of "why would anyone hate asexual/aromantic people, they aren't even doing anything" and it just always sits wrong with me. It paints such a passive picture of our existence and feels like a comment influenced by the level of invisibility that aspec people have in society. Why would you be annoyed by someone who is practically invisible? Just go back to ignoring their existence, it's easy!

But despite the invisibility, aspec people are actually doing quite a lot of things that will piss off queerphobic, right-wing and religious people (and hell, even left-wing people). And the most obvious point is that we are actively not performing heterosexuality the way they want us to. People who's entire world view is "cis men and women should be in monogamous, heterosexual marriage and have (white) babies" are not going to lean back and say "oh but those asexuals and aromantics are fine". They will also hate our guts, and they will come up with all sorts of reasons, including insinuating we're all secretly into bestiality, or mentally ill, or not human, or attention seeking children. It's just plain old queerphobia, and like all queerphobia, there's no inherent logic to it which you can worm your way out of by "not doing anything".

And like, there's a lot more that aspec people do which people hate. Raising awareness about amatonormativity? People feel attacked, they hate it. Asexual people having sex? Or not having sex? People hate it! Aromantic people being in (seemingly) romantic relationships? People fucking hate it! Aromantic people having sex? Ohh people hate that!!

I guess the existence of aphobia can be confusing when you haven't spent much time thinking about asexuality and aromanticism, but in the end, these are identities that aren't heteronormative and they will be hit with the same or similar bigotry as any other queer identity. I just get tired of this response after seeing it recycled for 10 years without ever seeming to go any further.

me (user since 2010) everytime this site is in a 50/50 situation of being nuked every 3 years

u dont like bnnuy ? 🐇? hop hop?

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

They are. This is genuinely where Madison as a female first name came from.

Every time I see a middle aged lesbian couple in public I’m like ok so I must survive

we’re really at that point in the year where no one cares about anything huh

My psych professor mentioned swaddling in lecture so I emailed him a picture of me being swaddled in my dorm room and asked if I could get extra credit because it was really hot in there and I got really sweaty and he was like “fabulous, sure”

I’m going to miss the Honors Advisor from my university.

This is definitely my favorite email i’ve recieved from a professor, with the subject line “back at it”.

Why are there like 5 daily chores where if you skip them for 2 days your life becomes a time based psychological thriller after

like yes of course hatred of asexuals and hatred of non-ace queer people are linked. it is not about whether or not we’re fucking, it’s about asserting absolute sexual-reproductive control over non-normative bodyminds

​also: TERFs are fascists pathologically obsessed with others genitalia and possible or actual sex acts so of course their violence extends to aces, even if aces aren’t their primary target.

Sex and romance are opt-in not opt-out. You don't need a reason not to do them. You should do them because you want to not because you feel obligated to.
