The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye
Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!
I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
Note the date, people:
That’s 1972
29 years before AVEN was started online,
and 47 years before the present.
And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.
So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.
How do we feel about crops? Any crop enjoyers here?

Btw if you say anything to the degree of “we want healthcare, not space travel” I automatically assume you’re a dumbass.
And furthermore ☝️ space science and medical science are one in the same. I know a lot of people have a very nebulous idea about what astronauts do, but almost every second of an astronaut's "day" is packed with research, maintenance, and interviews to those of us back here on Earth.
In fact, here are a few interesting articles on recent medical research from the ISS:
Eight implants for nerve regeneration were 3D printed in orbit to be sent back to Earth and used in clinical pretrials
ISS research contributed to the development of a new injection medication for early-stage cancer
Scientists working with the ISS are researching how microgravity affects heart cells, in hopes of creating more effective regenerative heart therapies
Mice were sent to the ISS to study treatments for macular degeneration ahead of clinical trials
I'm an aerospace engineer, so of course I'm on the side of supporting spaceflight and space science. But I think a lot of people dismiss NASA missions as overpriced joyrides for adrenaline junkies, when in reality these are very important ways for us to make scientific advancements that simply aren't feasible on Earth. Less than a cent of every tax dollar goes to NASA, and their science budget gets cut smaller and smaller every year. Publicly-funded science is not your enemy.
(Also, you can learn about Artemis II's science goals over here!)

"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.
You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.
Your 30s aren't too late. Don't let nobody tell you that stupid shit.
Your 40s aren't too late. Don't let nobody tell you that stupid shit.
