One of my favorite things about Put Baby In Pelican Mouth is that not only does the pelican have the intelligence necessary to speak human language but also knows how to lie, suggesting it has a theory of mind, yet not enough to understand that no one is going to put baby in pelican mouth.

To be entirely fair to the pelican, I have seen humans do much, much dumber things with their infants. The park rangers in Louisiana ha e to regularly tell people to not put their babies on the ground next to the gators for a pic.

In fact, it could be argued that the peculiar grammar used by the pelican in the Put Baby In Pelican Mouth post is deliberate, like how phishers use major grammar errors in their messages so that people too smart for the scam (or smart enough to report them) ignore the emails and the scammer can focus on the most likely marks.

Regardless, the pelican is right: there is absolutely someone dumb enough to put a baby in its mouth because it asked politely. Probably dozens on that beach alone.

Thinking about that one au in the depths of my google docs where phil is the human one in the sbi vampire coven but the main detail about him being human is that fact he’s actually warm because hes ALIVE so he has to constantly suffer with being used as the groups heatpack

Him being the only Technically Alive one was such a fun aspect too, he’s the only one with a heartbeat, with a need for air, with a need for proper warmth, and neopolitantrio are so off putting in the way where theyre so contrasting to Phil, so terribly inhuman.

Also Phil cant see in the dark and they keep forgetting about it so “what the fuck is going on i cant see shit” is a common phrase in Phils vocab

“Phil come run to the store with me”

“Are we genuinely running or are we going at a normal pace”

“Hm?”

“Every time we go to the store you run so fast that by the time im even halfway there, youre on the way back, without any falter at all. So are you running to the store or are you moving at a human pace”

“No no we’re going to the store. Together.”

“Uh huh.”

Oldza jokes but Phil constantly replying “you’re literally centuries old” “nuh uh im eternally 24. Youre 30” “imagine being 30 lmao” “YOU ARE 200 YEARS OLD”

The oldza jokes turning into youngza jokes bc sbi find them funnier

“imagine being 30. Not even a century old?? Lol you naive youngin”

“im not taking this from someone who has an eternal babyface”

“OY-“

“BACK in my day phil-“ “SHUUUUT UP”

I'll always talk up internet radio stations because I don't think the average person is aware that they're free, can run in your browser (or in any program that can connect to them), work on your phone, run better than a youtube tab, and give you a much better selection of music than you could get from a general algorithmic playlist

(also lots of them have live shows which you can tune into for free)

"oughh I follow this blog for weeb stuff not internet radio promo" here. gensokyo radio.

oh and also I have to plug yggdrasil. it's cute.

if u like folk and/or roots music: wumb.org !!! it is AD-FREE it has ZERO MORNING TALK SHOWS it is on air at 91.9 FM in the BOSTON AREA but streams WORLDWIDE on the WEB it is perfect.

big fan of soma.fm's selection, dozens of themed stations covering ambient, jazz, soul, punk, and a lot of electronica

Also if you search for student radio stations at almost any university you can listen to all sorts of crazy stuff for free!

Honestly, I am pretty frustrated by the "haha why would anyone hate ace people" responses to Rowling's tweet.

Don't get me wrong, the support is nice. But if you want to be an ally, you have to do so on our terms, not yours. And that means actually engaging with the aspec community, not just posting positivity every now and again. And what those responses highlight to me is what I've known for a while; you guys only support aspec people when it's easy and convenient.

It's easy to support aspec people when it's J.K. Rowling being awful again. It's easy to support us when it's just reblogging an "aspec people are queer" post.

But what about when we are talking about amatonormativity and the relationship hierarchy? When we are discussing the enforcement of compulsory sexuality? When we are pushing for greater awareness and support for aspec identities that are not asexuality or aromanticism? When we are criticizing terminology that you use but harms us? Because I can tell you right now, I rarely see allo people engage with those posts.

Why do people hate asexuality (or any other aspec identity)? Because it challenges the societal norms that benefit them. And that is uncomfortable and scary. So they turn to hate and oppression in order to assure that the changes we push by just openly existing never happen.

That means that to be a good aspec ally, you can't just make a positivity post every now and again, and you can't just laugh about how stupid aphobes are. You have to openly challenge the societal norms that harm us, even if they benefit you. Including but not limited to:

  • The idea that romantic and sexual attraction is the default state of being (amatonormativity)
  • The idea that a romantic, sexual relationship completes a person
  • People in marriages receiving special privileges and benefits
  • The idea that platonic, familial, etc. attraction are default states of being
  • The idea that not feeling some form of attraction must be compensated for through another form of attraction
  • The idea that love (not just romantic) is inherently morally good, while not feeling love is inherently a moral failing
  • The idea that any one form of relationship is inherently more important or deeper than any other (relationship hierarchy)
  • The idea that any one thing makes someone human
  • The idea that not having sex is shameful or infantile
  • The idea that having sex without romantic love is callous
  • Gendered divides of sexual and romantic attraction

Other aspec people please feel free to add on/challenge any of this. Allo (not aspec) people please feel free to ask questions.

I've placed some resources for learning more about these topics under the cut.

something id like to add of as social norm to challenge: the stereotype/idea that black people are oversexual which leads black non aces to believe it’s a “white thing” and for white/nonblack aspecs to leave us to the dust completely. Unlike white aces, black aces dont get the luxury of being infantilized.

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine

sorry. only semi-related but i simply wasn't ready for "the sun is a distant gorilla". thank you NASA
