This is better than any snl sketch
when you so shit they gotta bust out a famous violinist to drag you
“but aces are only 1% of the population!”
okay, do you have a friend who:
has green eyes (2% of the world’s population)
has red hair (1-2% of the world’s population)
regularly watches anime (~3.5% of the world’s population)
is vegan (.5-3% of the world’s population)
has a phd (1.1% of the world’s population that has been to university)
knows how to code (.5% of the world’s population)
can dunk a basketball on a regulation sized hoop (1% of the world population)
lives in california (.5% of the world’s population)
the chances are pretty damn good you know someone in an above group. i’ll admit, the numbers aren’t perfect. but just think about it. what are the odds you know someone who is ace?
especially when more and more people are realizing they’re aspec due to more visibility
Now seems like a great time to point out that as of 2021 the global population is around 7.8 billion. What’s 1% of 7.8 billion?
78,000,000.
Thats 78 million. There are at least 78 million aces in the world.
The country of France has around 67 and a half million people. There are more asexuals than there are French people.
Furthermore, 1% is a conservative estimate. There are other sources that say that as many as 5% of the global population is ace. So at minimum, there are more aces than French folk. Or maybe there’s as many of 390 million of us. Thats more than the current population of the United States.
Finally. My people outnumber the French. We may win yet.
we invade at dawn and take all the cheese and pastries
Concrete, 100% effective way to tell if someone doesn’t belong in a LGBT+/queer space:
They openly and actively hate/ want to hurt the people in that space
Controversial opinion here, I know, but just because you’re in a safe LGBT+/Queer space doesn’t mean you have to disclose their identity to everyone there. And people are allowed to bring their partners, regardless of their orientation, to those same spaces.
Obviously there are certain spaces that are for specific people, but at the same time, y’all are so obsessed with micromanaging queer spaces. The only thing that should be a litmus for entry into those spaces is: “does this person want to hurt someone else in this space and I know that? Yes? Then they aren’t fucken welcome. Regardless of identity.”
I volunteered in ine of the biggest queer youth clubs as an educator / guide (there isnt a word in english for these stuff).
We had so many queer kids that brought cishet friends and some of them didnt come out later, some of them really were cishet and that is fine.
They did no harm to the queer atmosphere and when someone new joined for the first time we gave them a little tour of the club and invited them to a one on one talk with one of the volunteers.
Ive had many of these conversations with teens at the ages of 12-19 and everyone calmed down when we told them there is no criteria to being there that this is a safe space and after a short explanation and some questions where many of them just blurted out their stories.
The non queer identifying people came for years either because they just met some friends from different places along the country and it was their usual hangout or because they really needed a safe space with no judgment in their lives.
Cishet people also need safe spaces where there are no gendered expectations of them and they can play with makeup and dresses and just be calm and learn about safe sexuality and consent.
Why in the world would you kick people who need safe spaces and benefit from them out???
Queer people seeing cishet people in queer spaces not acting weird and for once seeing the atmosphere is queer and the cis person has to adapt does marvels to one’s sense of how real it feels, how you could bring this safe space outside and this culture to other friends.
Introduce some of the stuff you learned to your friends and family maybe to some willing coworker idk.
The point is that our way to smash the patriarchy, gender roles, rape culture and more shit is too bring it outside and allow allies to be there cus why the fuck not
Thanks for sharing! This really highlights a collection of reasons why it’s important to not create these arbitrary rules to who can and can’t come in.
Also?
When I was in college, I had a cishet friend who was Christian and quietly felt homosexuality was a sin. I never heard her say so out loud….
…..which is why it STUNNED me when last year, she admitted she felt that way in college. But, she said, spending time with me in what we called the LGBTQIA+ group, to support me through a time when I was on and off suicidal, she discovered that queer people were, well….people. Who just wanted to be allowed to live. That might sound like “wow, the bar was belowground and she was doing the limbo with Satan,” but you must understand: this was 2006 in a very tiny town. Our senator had just compared homosexuality to both bestiality and pedophilia and there was a concerted push going on to write “one man, one woman” into the Constitution. Allison’s position (“I feel a certain kind of way but I’m not going to say it aloud”) was actually KINDER than most of the people around me.
And just spending time in our spaces, being around queer people, she realized “hey, what I have been told my whole life is a lie. These people are just people. Telling terrible jokes, having cookouts, fighting for basic human dignity, arguing over whether or not face painting is an appropriate college activity. There is no difference between them and me.”
Without a welcome into queer spaces, Allison might still be part of a homophobic church. Instead she helped organize her town’s first Pride parade in 2019.

Never forget that the War on Drugs was fabricated to criminalize certain communities.
The quickest descent into fascism occurs when the criminalization of innocent, nonviolent activities is combined with a surveillance state to “clean up crime”.

It’s also very important to look at how these laws are used.
For the laws criminalizing pot, white people (usually youth) often get off with a slap on the wrist, but BIPOC get harsh sentences, including prison time. Same goes for traffic offences (including DUI). Also laws for loitering, gangs and so on are used much more often against BIPOC - people are being denied their freedom of movement or just being allowed to be out in public without being afraid of being arrested.
The United States — ALL of it
Reminder that Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands and DC don’t have actual representation in congress and only DC can vote for President even though over 5 million people live in these areas
They drill “no taxation without representation” into our heads like it’s why the country exists… and then omit the fact that allllllll of those people pay taxes and have no say in their government.
Treat a cop just like you treat a gun when you don’t know whether it’s loaded or not. Assume that it is loaded and that it could cause someone’s death at any time. Remember that a cop, unlike most firearms, has no safety mechanism or standard method for “clearing” them. Never point a cop at anyone whose blood you could not accept having on your hands.
what the FUCK. this changes the statistics of what we know about covid cases, it fucks them right up.
jesus christ these people are irresponsible and selfish and vile.
I hate it here so much.
Transcript:
With covid on the rise and the vaccine readily available, more and more businesses are requiring their employees be vaccinated, and to prove that, they need a vaccination card.
Now, this is a problem for people who don’t want to be vaccinated, and there’s some people out there who are turning this into a business opportunity.
Meet “5starjazzii.” She has over 300,000 followers on Instagram and quite a few hustles. You’ll notice in her description “founder of antivaxmomma2.”
Yeah, that’s because “antivaxmomma,” her original account, got deleted, and I suspect it’s because she posted stuff like this, advertising that she’s selling fake covid 19 vaccine cards for 200 bucks a pop, but they’ll have real lot numbers on them. Now she’s been continuing this from her new account and even from her main account. She posted this the other day, explaining that she has a backlog of messages, and also that she’s looking to expand her team, so if you have computer access at hospitals or CVS, “DM me ASAP.”
Now that led me to believe that she’s either stealing existing lot numbers and putting them on the cards or she’s getting someone to enter people into the system that haven’t been vaccinated to generate their own lot numbers. But I didn’t want to make assumptions so I decided to message her and ask.
I told her I worked at a Walgreens. She said to text her ASAP. She asked if I had access to enter the vaccine information into the system and then asked, because I’m in Florida, how do people here verify they’re in the system, because in New York they have an app. And the person she has in New York doing this can provide the numbers that the people can check in the app. I explained that in Florida you have a site you can do that on and asked what exactly she needed. She told me she provides the person’s name, date of birth, address, the vaccination date, asked if I can backdate them, and then has me enter them into the system to generate lot numbers. So I would enter them into the system as if they had just received the vaccine, WHICH THEY HAVE NOT, but the system would believe that they have, and if someone checked those lot numbers, it would say their name. That made me curious how many people were doing this. She told me the woman in New York that’s doing it for her, she’s given 100 bucks a person, she’s doing at least 30 people a day, and that woman’s making 10,000 dollars a week. Do the math on that. On how many people are walking around with legal documents saying they’re vaccinated, and they are not. She’s also asked if I could provide her covid 19 cards.
Now you may ask, why would someone take the risk and do something like this? Well, it seems in her case that it’s at least due in part to the fact that she believes that the vaccines are sterilizing children as part of the Gay Agenda. Now, she’s not going to be doing this any longer, the FBI’s already been involved, but when I hear people say things like, “why bother getting the vaccine, people are getting covid who are fully vaccinated?” I have to wonder, are they?
Transcript ends.
Fucking kudos to him for actively involving himself and getting this information. Jesus christ, this is genuinely so upsetting.
FUCK
“Why are you scared? You look scared.” Because, you plague rat; you are not wearing a mask while we live in one of the largest hotspots for the covid resurgence. Fully vaccinated people have ended up in the damn hospital from the new variant so please pardon me if I back away from you. Don’t get pissy at me over your shitty decisions. My mask protects you from me; it doesn’t work the other way around
People who don’t understand the difference between punishment and discipline should, like, never have kids
hey op i dont understand the difference could you please explain?
Yeah ofc!! Sorry for being vague I was just venting and didnt expect reblogs haha
I’m gonna try to explain my point through examples.
Ex 1: toddler screaming and crying in the walmart
Punishment: I’m going to spank you or embarrass you or yell at you! Shut up! I’ll give you something to cry about!
Discipline: stop doing what you’re doing because it isn’t productive and it disturbs others as well as increasing your own upsetnes. I’m going to take you out of the environment that’s upsetting you until you’re calm and we can identify what upset you together so I can explain to you why it’s like that/help you find ways to productively express upsetness as you grow.
Ex 2: your teen is failing, like, all their classes
Punishment: you’re grounded! You’re not allowed to go out with your friends or play games or do anything fun or enjoyable until your work is satisfactory!
Discipline: it’s important to do well in school. You need to communicate with me when you are struggling so I can help you. You also need to learn to manage fun stuff and work as that’s an important life skill in adulthood. I’m going to monitor your work more closely so I can help you find that balance. And if this is a deeper mental or emotional issue, we can seek help for you together.
So basically, discipline is something you teach that requires time, communication, and sternness. Punishment is a single action meant to deliberately cause discomfort in an attempt to implement negative reinforcement. Not good.
