Hello! Do you want ace representation? (You said aro but same difference, right?) We have

Asexuality 101: They're the token ace in The Sex Show and they say "I've never had sex before and I don't think I want to, am I... broken?" And then they learn about asexuality. Their entire character arc revolves around not having sex in The Sex Show. Completely unrelatable if you're anything other than sex-repulsed and alloromantic.

Asexual Book: it feels like reading a wikipedia article and will stop resonating once you're over the accepting-yourself-stage and start discovering yourself beyond the standard asexual experience.

Token Ace: they're the asexual character in the current big queer cartoon and she has significantly less screentime than the other characters. Confirmed asexual on social media.

Cartoon Animal: the creator didn't wanna think about them having sex because that's a cartoon animal. You'd be surprised how much porn people draw of this character.

The Dark And Mysterious Nerd: don't get your hopes up, he's also a tumblr sexyman and nothing in the source material indicates his asexuality.

Todd Chavez.

Twink Of The Month: he currently has swarms of people going "asexuals can still have sex" but they're not really interested in exploring sexual relationships from an asexual perspective, they just don't want him to be asexual. The other half of the debate is working tirelessly to alienate sex-favorable people from the asexual community.

Ace Coded: they're the most asexual character of all time but it's not stated in the source material or confirmed by the author so you have to write a thesis in hopes that someone might consider that they could be asexual. You might get called homophobic if you do.

Alien Robot: their lack of interest in sex is directly tied to them not being human. The fanbase has a massive collective boner for them though.

Murderer: Yeah... Collective boner also applies here.

Actually Good Representation: she's from a piece of media that has a fandom smaller than the population of a small village and does not suit your taste whatsoever

Your Own Fucking OC: at this point, just do it yourself.

Cory Lee has visited 40 countries on seven continents, and yet the Georgia native has never explored Cloudland Canyon State Park, about 20 minutes from his home. His wheelchair was tough enough for the trip to Antarctica but not for the rugged terrain in his backyard.

Lee’s circumstances changed Friday, when Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources and the Aimee Copeland Foundation unveiled a fleet of all-terrain power wheelchairs for rent at 11 state parks and outdoorsy destinations, including Cloudland Canyon. The Action Trackchair models are equipped with tank-like tracks capable of traversing rocks, roots, streams and sand; clearing fallen trees; plowing through tall grass and tackling uphill climbs.

“I’ll finally be able to go on these trails for the first time in my life,” said the 32-year-old travel blogger, who shares his adventures on Curb Free with Cory Lee. “The trails are off-limits in my regular wheelchair.”

Georgia is one of the latest states to provide the Land Rover of wheelchairs to outdoor enthusiasts with mobility issues.

In 2017, Colorado Parks and Wildlife launched its Staunton State Park Track-Chair Program, which provides free adaptive equipment, though guests must pay the $10 entrance fee. Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources has placed off-road track chairs in nearly a dozen parks, including Muskegon State Park. In 2018, Lee reserved a chair at the park that boasts three miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake. “It allowed me to have so much independence on the sand,” he said.

Mobility FTW

and what if I told you guys that virtually everyone you ever meet will turn out to be really interesting if you give them a chance

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

some real miserable fucks in the notes I fear

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'm not even saying you have to talk to every single person you meet. and you're certainly not going to LIKE all of them. but every person does have a rich interior life and complex feelings and unique worldview. sorry.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey man how's it going

sorry for getting self righteous about uuuuh my belief in the innate wonder of human life and connection I guess

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey man how's it going

[bunjywunjy]

wow. made it less than three months in

[ooklet]

this is truly one of the most tumblr posts i've ever seen. i know chronically online people exist in all corners of the internet but i feel like this is the only place where someone could say something as uncontroversial as "you will find out that people have personalities when you talk to them" and get responses like "oh so you're making the ABLEIST assertion that i should FORCE MYSELF to push past my SOCIAL ANXIETY to talk to BIGOTS????" amazing work, guys

Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.

This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants

[hollowistheworld]

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

Hey OP, love your scalding take here; don't forget about commutes.

Once you factor in commute times (which even for short distances can be grotesquely inflated due to the fact that so many people are all commuting at the same time, but that's a different conversation) many people are actually devoting upwards of 10-12 hours a day on "work related tasks."

Love and Deepspace | Zayne & MC & Caleb & Valko (& Xavier & Rafayel & Sylus) | G | 476 words | part of LADS Pinoy AU

A/N: This AU was conceived by me and @cup-ah-jho! Based on this scenario. Content tag/warning for Catholic humor? Or is it blasphemy?

It all started when Zayne accepted, every year, the Christmas gift Mrs. Mercado gave him as thanks for being her family’s doctor. At first he tried to refuse the present, but Mrs. Mercado was a woman who was very much adept in emotional manipulation and applied it to him – which was bizarre because instead of her gaining something, it was her giving something away.

“Definitely a bribe,” Xavier had commented, when Zayne mentioned it once during a rare group (complete attendance!) meetup.

“A gesture of gratitude! Don’t listen to him,” Rafayel had countered. Caleb had nodded at that, agreeing, for once, with the socialite.

(“Careful there,” Sylus said, swatting away Xavier’s needling, “the gift might be fake.”

“Is it?” Valko’s head tilted up, attention finally off his phone. He sniffed the air curiously, and shook his head. “Nah, it’s legit.”

The rest just stared at him, speechless.)

It was a Diptyque perfume – Olene. Too floral and feminine – too jasmine-smelling – but his mother complimented the fragrance, so he let it be. When Mrs. Mercado came to his clinic for another checkup she smelled it right away and made a surprised noise.

“I thought you would have gifted it to your girlfriend.”

All the nurses in the vicinity suddenly paused, and attempted their best to pretend that they weren’t listening. They’re nurses, Zayne thought a little ruefully, not actors, so they’re very much obvious about it.

“I have no girlfriend, ma’am.” He let that percolate in the air for a bit, before dragging things back. “You skipped your labs again, I’m not writing you a maintenance prescription until you do them.”

After that, there was no reason to change fragrance. He got the perfume for free yearly, and he was not the kind of man to actively seek for a signature scent. It was bad form to let the gifts languish unused. So Olene it was, then.

And then one day, at the Muji cafe in SM North Edsa, Mary Clare sat across from him and wrinkled her nose.

“You smell like church.”

Caleb and Valko, who were also there, postponed their STEM-related bickering to gawk at Mary Clare and then at Zayne.

“I don’t need to attend the mass to feel the presence of the Lord, because I’m feeling it now.” It was like fatality, like pure emotional damage.

Zayne opened his mouth. Then closed it.

“Holy shit,” Valko marveled. “It’s super effective, bro. Goddamn.”

Caleb gestured a sign of the cross at him. “I’m ready to listen to your homily, doc.”

Mary Clare looked remorseless with her remarks. Sure, Zayne was initially shocked, but humor soon replaced it, and then he took it in stride. But of course, this didn’t mean that he’d let them get away with it.

“No more free consultations for all of you,” he declared firmly, to Caleb’s and Valko’s protests.
