Affected Existence

I'm Meg, I'm kinda crazy, but mostly in a fun way. I'm working on my MFA in Writing and Producing for Television in the beautiful Los Angeles. So go all things TV! I have my BA in English Writing and English Literature. I am asexual/aromantic. I post what I want.

me, having completely forgotten until it’s 2 am: well, maybe tomorrow morning when it’s normal human hours

me, the next morning: I’m gonna respond to that text later in the day when I have more time

me, having completely forgotten until it’s 2 am: … why am I like this

The most hilarious part of italians’ reaction to coronavirus/covid19 has been them stockpiling EVERY SINGLE type of pasta except the PENNE LISCE

which Italians couldn’t bring themselves to buy or eat even during a mass psychosis

[maarigolds]

The moment italians start buying penne lisce will be the moment we know our society has truly collapsed

[jeannettegray]

Listen, if I'm gonna die, my last meal is NOT gonna be fucking penne lisce.

[dwlostcompanion]

Someone explain please! I want to knowwww

[aphony-cree]

Penne lische is smooth and doesn’t hold sauce the way penne rigate does

The grooves make more sauce adhere to it

[specsthespectraldragon]

wait that picture up there then ACTUALLY is of a smooth tube and not just. a bad picture? smooth penne exists? that's horrifying the ridges are the best part it's like eating a tiny accordion

[actualaster]

And that is why it is an abomination.

Disgusting. Vile. I would die before eating that filth.

[goron-king-darunia]

I have eaten penne lisce. Objectively the worst pasta. If you sneeze too hard in its general direction, any sauce on it will fly off. You can literally cook it in tomato sauce and it will still taste of nothing. Even if you stuff cheese inside it by hand, meticulously, individually, it will fall out. No friction on these fuckers. Bad pasta.

I love how this global situation has brought us to the absolute limits of our humanity in all ways.

i just have this persistent feeling of “i’m not doing enough” combined with “i don’t have the energy to do anything” and it just really fucking sucks

[wsswatson]

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

[seriousflightrisk]

I COULD NOT REBLOG THIS FAST ENOUGH

[super-bi-feminism]

Friendly reminder that bisexual, pansexual, asexual, and aromantic people do not experience “straight passing privilege”.

Identity erasure is not a privilege, it is oppression.

[brunhiddensmusings]

‘you are treated as ‘normal’ provided you never speak about or acnowlege your identity’

[doomhamster]

neither, importantly, do “passing” trans people. or anyone else.

[onaveridiansea]

“You are treated as ‘normal’ provided you never speak about or acknowlege your identity.”

High in the halls of the kings who are gone

Jenny would dance with her ghosts

The ones she had lost

And the ones she had found

And the ones who had loved her the most.

[chromolume]

all stories have an inherently biased perspective because theyre all written by writers. this precludes an understanding of aspects of life experienced by people who arent writers such as ballin, fitting in at parties, having abs

[furikomaru-deactivated20190920]

but wait didn’t ernest hemingway have abs and fit in at parties?

[chromolume]

yeah thats why he barely used any words

Do you think people in the afterlife get notifications when someone mentions them in a post?

Ready for a long ace-centric metaphor about sex? 

Alright, so. Coffee. I don’t drink coffee. I have no desire to drink coffee. I find people who enthusiastically go on about the flavor differences of lattes, espressos, and french press brews, both amusing and mildly baffling. All the coffee ads. Coffee jokes. Bustling coffee shops. To me, all coffee is similarly bitter and unpleasant. I have been through so many “Try this, it’s sweet! You can’t even taste the coffee!”  Alas, I always can. And I’m  sensitive to caffeine anyway. So, I don’t really think about drinking it when I wake up or am tired.

 Yet I love the smell of coffee. I love the idea of coffee. The feeling of a warm cup taking the chill from my fingers, the cozy ritual of having a drink and chat. I might try someone’s coffee. If they ask, if I want to please them and share in something they enjoy. I am also perfectly capable of learning the preferences of those I care about and creating a cup for their pleasure. 

But I don’t want coffee, generally speaking. I will probably make a face after trying their coffee and wash the taste out with something else. They may rush to reassure me that it is an acquired taste. And I’ll have to reply that it’s a taste I don’t particularly care about acquiring in the way they did. ‘Drink it till you like it’ will never work for me.

 But that doesn’t mean I am against coffee or think people shouldn’t drink it. Doesn’t mean I’ve taken a vow to never drink any. And sure, maybe if you get one of those sugar and whipped cream disasters, more of a warm milkshake than a cup of coffee, I’ll probably be happier sipping it with you. But honestly? I’d rather smell someone else’s coffee and not be expected to drink it. I’d really rather have the heat and sweetness of my hot cocoa. 

[onemillionspiders]

I love this

[daja-the-hypnokitten]

The best part is it works for ALLLL the ace spectrum! Maybe you like one specific type of coffee on rare occasions! Maybe you enjoy coffee when you’re sharing the drink with someone! Maybe you can’t even stand the smell of coffee!

This needs to be on my blog.
