“bits to use in everyday conversations”

[blurbofparadise]

I've decided that I will not longer be doing lore drops of explaining my family history, it kills the vibe and makes people uncomfortable. I will instead whenever it is relevant be stating, sadly and with utter seriousness "yeah my bloodline is pretty cursed" and refusing to elaborate

Gonna chill out the rest of May and then change my entire life in June. Possibly July if that doesn't work out. Certainly no later than September or October.

I'm a huge advocate for Asexuality and all of it's wonderous spectrum, so here's a bit of a reminder:

You can be sex positive and still be ace.

You can be sex repulsed and still be ace.

You can masterbate and still be ace.

You can be in a relationship (short term, long term, poly, etc) and still be ace.

There is all these stigmas around asexuality, and how you can't be sexually active, or can't be in a relationship, or hell, can't even give yourself some pleasure. Ace's don't have the same level of sexual attraction as Allosexuals, doesn't mean we're broken or imbalanced, just different.

"Oh, but maybe you're just not having the right sex!"

*buzzer noise* Incorrect.

"Well, then, you were probably molested and/or sexually assaulted, right?"

Possibly, but that's of no business to you. People who have been abused in any capacity have their own ways of dealing with the aftermath.

Asexuality is such a broad, beautiful array of feelings, emotions, comfortability, and self awareness.

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."

--Adam Savage

I enjoy experiencing surgery for the same reason I enjoy plane travel: I am not responsible for anything. As soon as I have stepped in and professionals have taken charge, I am in the hands of fate and my fate is in their hands. I have become cargo, the doer of jack shit. I am getting a good grade at being a faultless meat slab, something that is both normal to want, and possible to achieve.

you cannot make a post about how men put women in certain boxes without someone going "but what if i love the box? what if i've decided that it's comfortable in the box? are you gonna tell me i'm not ALLOWED to like the box? not very feminist of you to police a woman's decisions... maybe you'd be less ugly and miserable if you stopped talking about the box LMFAO #Girlboss #MyBox<3"

[helenekuragina]

#and its like. 'what if ive decided its comfortable to be in the box' it is always going to be more comfortable to be in the box #they will reward you for staying in the box and punish you for trying to leave it #that doesnt mean the box is like. a good place to be — @butchfaith

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Sometimes you step out of the box, and you're free of the box, and you're out of the box, and you realize you are fairly box shaped. So you sit down, and you do a lot of introspection about whether or not you were always box shaped, or if you grew into the shape of the box after being forced into the box for so long, and whether or not there are stunted parts of you, that might grow, now that you're out of the box, or if you should just maybe wear the box around as a fashion accessory that conveniently makes life so much easier while living among those who expect you to be in the box, and in the middle of your naval gazing someone always shows up to try and put you back in the box.

And you realize that regardless of whether or not you actually fit in the box, it's dark in there.

I think going too deep into anything should warrant a balrog. You scroll too far down on your phone when you should've gotten up an hour ago, you've spent all afternoon sleuthing to figure out why your mom's former neighbour whom you haven't seen since you were 15 and don't give a fuck about got a divorce, you've been ruminating the same situation over and over and over, and a big fuckass beast thing shows up to stop you because you have delved too deep and now you have to fight the balrog.

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely
