pride month is almost over I would just like to say happy pride to boring LGBTQ people in particular. everyone expects us to be brilliant creatives and scientists and interior decorators and quirky professors and tortured artists but some of us wear nothing but Kirkland Signature clothing and watch Friends and The Office and are incapable of having an interesting conversation and that is okay. our diversity is our strength.
Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism
Microaggressions against polyamory in interpersonal interactions are important and should be discussed, but I do wish more of the conversation focused on the ways that systemic amatonormativity impact things like family units, taxes, healthcare, inheritances, housing, childcare, etc.
I'm not dating or married or related to anyone I live with, and our household of four adults can't get any kind of financial or food or housing aid because we count as three separate households despite our semi-blended finances and living together for a decade. There are laws that have been proposed (at least, I don't know if any passed) that limit housing to nuclear families.
Amatonormativity and polyphobia are not just theoretical "people are kinda mean about this sometimes" -- they are real and materially impactful systemic issues, and they affect all of us.
fighting for my asexual brethren, if you think someone who is asexual isn't a part of the LGBTQ community get the fuck off my blog. Including you, people who think cishet aces don't count. Fuck you especially you're no better than the acephobic people. Yeah. I said it. You suck too. But, aces. Asexuals, all of you, I love you. I love aces who have multiple queer labels, I love aces who are straight and cisgender. I love you guys. I love aces who have sex and aces who want to throw up at the thought of it. I love everyone in between and I think no matter what you should be accepted for who you are. We all are surrounded in a world faced by purity culture but also faced with a constant push for sex and romance and blah blah blah, who cares. Aces, live how you want. Be yourselves. Do not let others push you down, do not let people push you out from this community. You are a part of us. Anyone who says different doesn't know shit. I love you aces. I'm sorry if others don't. I will love you through every bad thing that has been said or has happened to you to get you here. Happy pride month. Celebrate who you are and who you will become. I love you all.
link to a post like this about aromantics too! Because I love both <3 /gen
Can we be nicer to people who are on the aro/ace spectrum who arenât aroace please? Aroallos and alloaces and aplatonic folk and cupioromantics and those who want queerplatonic relationships and those who donât and aros who date and aces who have sex and people who donât fall on the âsex-favourable to sex-repulsedâ line because they feel like it doesnât describe them well enough and greyromantics and demisexuals and those in polycules and selfshipping communities and those who fight for aro/ace visibility and those who donât and those who havenât fully come to terms with their identity yet and this community is such a beautiful place can we see it beyond âuwu innocent aroace doesnât know what sex isâ please god I am begging you
Some Asexual pride emojis! Enjoy~
Top 10 things NEVER to say to a therian/otherkin/animalheart/petregressor-
(Not ranked just in general donât say these things)
1. âEmotion is humanâ
2. âAnimals donât have souls/Animals donât go to heavenâ
3. âWere you raised by wolves??/were you raised in a barn??â
4. âIâm a cat person/Iâm a dog personâ
5. âYouâre not an animal!!â
6. âHigher speciesâ
7. âWeâre all humanâ
8. âHowâs the tail attached?â
9. âThis is a kinkâ
10. âFURRY!!!!â
Just donât.
Bonus!!
Never ever approach a therian from behind.
Itâs stupid. You WILL get gut punched or bitten. That is NOT their fault. Instinct is instinct.
Not all alterhumans have animalistic instincts but pretty much no one is ok with this so just donât.
I feel like lots of you who claim to be accepting of nonbinary and otherwise atypical identities still cannot process it beyond the level of "a metaphor for a complex relationship with manhood and womanhood".
Sometimes someone is just a dog, in a literal sense, as species. Not a human who leans into dog aesthetics because they feel alienated from binary genders due to trauma.
Sometimes someone just actually lacks gender or has an alien gender. And they're not just a man or a woman but in a way that's especially complex and nuanced.
And these aren't experiences inferior to or more shallow than binary genders.
So glad that "cl*nker" shit died down bc not only was it kinda uncomfortable as an otherkin bc it reeks of alterhumisia against robot, android etc alterhumans but also the very unsubtle parallels drawn to the n-word and other racist filth.
donât let people trick you into thinking alterhumans arenât oppressed alright
âbut thereâs no systematic oppression against alterhumans!â See but there is. Itâs saneism. Saneism may not outwardly appear to target alterhumans but can you see how it does? Can you see how alterhumans are consistently labeled as âcrazyâ, âdelusionalâ, even dangerous?
Thereâs a reason why I canât tell people Iâm not human and itâs because I could very well be institutionalized for it. My rights could be stripped away from me at any second if people found out that I actively do not consider myself human. If youâre disabled/neurodivergent, a POC, queer, etc, and alterhuman, you face even more of these dangers. Is that not systematic?
you can be loveless. You can literally be loveless. Itâs allowed. You arenât, like, evil or anything. You are in fact awesome. Please accept yourself and be compassionate to yourself if you are loveless. It is not something wrong with you.
saying this now:
if your response regarding drawing/writing 4c hair is that "it's hard", I will slap you.
it is not hard, you're just lazy. pick up the pen, open your browser,
AND STUDY.
is it ever gonna be legal to grab people who go "erm that's not a ladybug, it's an đ Asian Lady Beetle đ" and ask them exactly what they mean by that and when they're about to answer we ignore them and flip them over and piledrive them
what family is harmonia axyridis in and what is its colloquial name. what do you count as a ladybug and why. why the tendency to emphasize the word asian. all questions you won't get to answer on account of the piledriver that will interrupt you
"In March 2019, NPR reported that "air pollution is disproportionately caused by white Americans' consumption of goods and services, but disproportionately inhaled by Black and Hispanic Americans." A few weeks later, the Women's Agenda website boasted that "when women make decisions the environment benefits," referencing a study of environmental management organizations in Tanzania, Indonesia, and Peru. So, in other words, when women of color make decisions, the environment benefits.
This is a common strategy of white feminism: to align with women of color when it suits, trumpeting a nonexistent sisterhood as a mask for appropriating our work to advance the myth of a better world run by women. The truth is, it is women of color, most especially Indigenous women, who are at the forefront of environmental rights because their own rights are inseparable from the battle for the environment.
According to the World Resources Institute, protecting Indigenous lands is among the most successful methods of fighting deforestation and climate change: remove such protections and environmental catastrophe is unavoidable. The battle for land rights is deadly. From 2002 to 2015, some 1,237 eco-activists were killed for defending (mostly) Indigenous lands.
2017 was the deadliest yet with around four activists killed per week. Indigenous women on the front lines who list their lives include Berta CĂĄceres, Lesbia Janeth UrquĂa, and Efigenia VĂĄsquez. To dress this up as a warmhearted girl power story not only trivializes their work, it erases the danger such women are in."
Conclusion (Brown Scars), White Tears/Brown Scars- Ruby Hamad
I reblogged this yesterday but something about this quote was bothering me and I just managed to articulate what it is
"the Women's Agenda website boasted that "when women make decisions the environment benefits," referencing a study of environmental management organizations in Tanzania, Indonesia, and Peru. So, in other words, when women of color make decisions, the environment benefits."
See how this sentences goes "Tanzania, Indonesia and Peru, in other words, people of color"? Of course, OOP's intention is to highlight the achievements of racialized women and avoid letting white women take credit for them. But when they equate whole countries with a racial category, they are effectively ignoring those countries own internal racial politics, and how they affect racialized women living in them, in favor of looking at them through a lens of a sort of "global" racial politics that might not be relevant to the studies in practice. In practice, after the mention of another study on racialized people in the US, we are led to view these women under the racial category they would assume if they were living in the US rather than in their own countries.
It may very well be that Hamad's hypotgeses is correct, but I would question if the studies she mentions have considered how their subjects are racialized within their countries, in ways that affect their material realities. I don't mean to universalize the achievements of women of color, but I worry that if we value these "global racial politics" over local racial politics in our analysis, we run the risk of believing that there is something inherently different about people of color that makes them better or more noble regardless of their lived realities - and I don't think I have to explain the danger in that.
There have been literal race riots going on in parts of the UK over the last few days - violent, angry bigots firebombing homes and cars belonging to immigrants, refugees, and literally anyone with dark skin, with families having to flee under police protection.
This vile behaviour is being goaded on by far right agitators and parties like Reform UK and the media pretending like these nasty thuggish arseholes have âlegitimateâ concerns rather than just being maladjusted, pathetic little cunts who canât stand their own irrelevance.
I never want to see anyone pretend we donât have a huge fucking racism problem ever again.
I've seen them called 'protestors'. Those are NOT protestors! Those are terrorists. There's people treating it like a carnival!
'Families with young children mingled with men wearing masks and young couples. Some exuded a carnival atmosphere, posing for pictures and drinking beer.
One man hoisted up his son, aged around seven, for a better view of another destroyed house. âGet a duke at that,â he said. âWow,â the boy replied.'
Today I wanted to talk about Marlow Trottie. Marlow was a 35 year old Black woman living in Louisiana, whose friends and family described as always having "a smile on her face" and as being "literally the sweetest person Iâve ever met!â, according to Them news' Quispe LĂłpez.
Marlow Trottie was killed on June 8th 2026. She was found dead, alone, in the streets of Alexandria, Louisiana. It was a homicide.
Marlow Trottie was a woman. Her family has contested this, and publicly misgendered her, and many news sites have already deadnamed and misgendered her as well. I fear what her obituary will say. I fear what her gravestone will say even more.
She joins a growing list of other trans women who have been killed simply for existing. Again from Them news, that list now numbers 11 women from the past 3 months alone.
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
