writing advice: never italicize words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well then the reader will know and you don’t need them!

me: oh really??? listen up, pal, you can just try an pull italics from my cold, dead fingers

[sonneillonv-deactivated20220218]

LOOK.  IF I’M NOT ALLOWED TO CAPITALIZE WORDS TO SHOW EMPHASIS, I WILL USE ITALICS, YOU CANNOT TAKE ALL MY SHAPING TOOLS AWAY FROM ME.

Clearly whoever said “don’t use italics” has never seen the “I never said I stole her money” italics trick.

anyways exclusionists are a joke and arent even taken seriously in the majority of irl lgbt spaces. Somehow all this fighting on Tumblr got out of hand and everyone seems to think it’s a real huge contriversal thing now within the LGBT community in general. When really all it is shitty Tumblr discourse.

okay, i don’t hate kids. i think they’re sort of funny. i like that you can talk to them like an adult and they’ll make sounds like they understand. i taught one kid “phosphorescence” and he looked at me and said, “they could just call it glowing if it means something that glows.” the kid undid the entire science community in one sentence.

but i hate kids.

or really, i hate how they’ve always been expected from me.

when i was five i was given “babies.” i hated the hardness of dolls, disposed of them for dramatic stories between stuffed animals. i knew how to wrap, feed, and care for a baby before i could spell my last name. when i was nine i was already “watching the kids”. i was only four years older than my cousins were. i wanted to go out and play. instead i was expected to have responsibility. by the time i was thirteen all of my friends had told me about how many children they were going to have in their twenties. 

my hips were “child-bearing” hips. my brother was a scientist, or a fireman, or a steamroller. i was going to make a good housewife, or mom, or nanny, or mom, or mom, or mom.

and when my body hurt, i was told it wasn’t really my body, not really, it belonged to my future children. i couldn’t cut or snip or tie anything; i was trapped by the potential energy that hung above me. a boulder, threatening. i couldn’t get tattoos, because what would i tell my children? i couldn’t kiss a girl, because what would i tell the children? i couldn’t be risky or wild or anything but a lady, because what about the children?

and when i said “i don’t want children” - not biologically, at least, not when cancer and depression and a whole other host of terrible things lives inside me - do you know what they said? “it’ll change, wait and see” “it’s not bad” “you’ll get used to it” “when you meet the right man” “you don’t want to be lonely”.

i don’t hate kids. i’m great with them. 

but then i’m told again that my life will be forfeit to them - something in me snaps angry. “wait until you have kids” “you should travel before you have children” “you’ll be more happy.” 

i hate kids! i’ve snarled. i don’t mean it at all. but god. please, leave me alone. i don’t want to be a biological mom. 

it’s like we’re born with a uterus and told “this is your whole life. your singular purpose. your job.” 

i want to be my own purpose. not here for the sake of passing genes on.

Honestly people who refuse to ship m/f ships because they’re “straight” or whatever are so fucking boring, like I don’t ship people based on gender, I ship based on chemistry. Shipping isn’t activism, you don’t get woke points for having the most “progressive” ship like this is supposed to be fun so fuck off with your fandom policing and get a life.

Today’s Action: Borderlands creator Mikey Neumann comes out as asexual

As of yesterday, October 23, Mikey Neumann came out as asexual. He used the blog “TheMarySue” as a platform to talk about himself, his sexual identity, his journey to his coming out and answered 6 questions he’s been asked the most about asexuality. 

“My name is Mikey Neumann and I’m the Chief Creative Champion at Gearbox Software, the makers of Borderlands (among other cool stuff). I wrote the firstBorderlands and its DLC, came up with a lot of the cinematic style (like title cards!) that permeates the game.”

“Identity is a bit of a strange thing, isn’t it? No one truly, fully understands the ins and outs of everyone’s sexual or gender identity, though, I think a lot of us would like to. I use the word “strange,” not cavalierly, but purposely and proudly because in just four modest words, to the world that you inhabit, one or both of either identity could change: I am an asexual.“  

Further, he writes:

“Asexuality is, by its nature, an introverted identity. And for someone so “in the spotlight” to say that, you should now know how much of my life I’ve lived in total secrecy, putting on a public-facing façade, for what feels like most of my adult life. Never in any form of media, have I ever truly been myself. And that has really started to eat away at me. This has been a long time coming, and I’m as excited to finally have it out there, as I am terrified of what the reaction will be.”

This week, October 19 to 25, we celebrate Asexuality Awareness week and we feel Mikey couldn’t have chosen a better time to come out and give a lot of hope and strength to other people identifying with the Ace/Aro spectrum.

For Today’s Action, we would like to ask you to congratulate Mikey here or retweeting our message to him here

Congratulations to @mikeyface for coming out as asexual and giving a lot of Ace/Aro people hope, strength and much needed visibility! #LGBT
