Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

I realized my little one wouldn’t get to organically learn my culture (tumblr) so I decided to share some of the more digestible ones.

First one was The Tiger, which was read correctly from the first try.

Next, I wanted this one… and it quickly became a project.

I’m not an expert, clearly, but I can do a functional bind.

So now we have this at home!

The only artefacts that survived from the my Win95 days were the things I printed, mostly writing and chainmail. Even then, it was the ones I stuffed into folders.

I’m not sure what to print next, though. We’re not yet reading long form, and we can’t look at scary pictures, so that limits the options. But I have it in mind as a goal now so I can recognize it if it comes up! Let’s gooo heritage posts

Not book smart or street smart but a secret third thing.

[gendercensus]

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

I feel like a lot of "How do I know I'm aromantic?" resources focus on never having been in a relationship (god I wish that were me), so here are some signs that you might be aromantic if you are in a relationship and considering it:

• Feels like a performance, or you are copying things you have seen in other relationships

• When people comment on or ask about your relationship, it makes you uncomfortable

• After having sex, the more intimate touches/cuddles do not feel as good

• Wanting more independence or time alone

• Thinking if your partner cheated on you, you wouldn't care

• Being scared that you might cheat despite having no desire to be with anyone else

• Words like "partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc" all feel wrong, and you don't like them being applied to you

• Not having a strong feeling of missing your partner like you're "supposed" to

• Questioning your sexuality/preferences despite being confident in who/what you're attracted to

• Feeling like you're lying if you appreciate gifts or affection from them, even if you really do appreciate it

• Saying "I love you" feels fine, but it holds the same weight when you say it to anyone else

• Not wanting to tell anyone about your feelings because you're afraid you will be misunderstood

Anyway, that's all I got. I hope it helps someone out there. I'm still struggling too, but I think we will all be okay! <3

frowns. i don't like it when krusie/kriselle get referred to as yuri. its no different from referring to kerdly as yaoi

[pocketkris]

referring to a non-binary character, that has been misgendered as male previously, with feminine terms doesnt "counteract" or "balance out" the misgendering. its not better than using masculine terms. its still misgendering

[identityarchitect]

if people want nb inclusive terms:

trixic = nonbinary person attracted to women; nblw, e.g. "kriselle is my favourite trixic ship but i am partial to krisuselle"

toric = nonbinary person attracted to men; nblm, e.g. "i don't usually ship toric ships but i have such a soft spot for kerdly"

enbian = nonbinary person attracted to nonbinary people; nblnb, e.g. "i love enbian ships so i crackship kris/chara. go forth and kiss knife wielding enben"

diamoric = nonbinary attraction that doesn't conform to a same/opposite gender dichotomy, can be used to describe relationships including at least one nonbinary person, e.g. "kralsei is such a cute diamoric ship"

remember, YOU have the power to make inclusive language more commonplace! the language exists, so go forth and use it as much as you can!

[audiovisthewritingwhiz]

@thisisexorsexism

WE ARE NOT "A COUPLE OF THINGS", EITHER! WE ARE DIAMORIC, TRIXIC, ENBIAN, TORIC, WHATEVER THE FUCK, STOP MISGENDERING US! STOP MISGENDERING KRIS!

[PT: We are not "A couple of things" either! We are diamoric, trixic, enbian, toric, whatever the fuck, stop misgendering us! stop misgendering kris!]

the trans girl who doesn’t go outside much is going to be really brave and leave her apartment because she wants to meet a transfem friend irl. everyone should be very proud of her.
