hot take: the phrase “there is no platonic explanation for that” fucking sucks, bc it not only hurts aromatic people, but also emphasizes the ‘friends can’t be too close’ this can either be rooted in homophobia or sexism

[el-oh-her]

I think it's also just something people with romantic attractions can't understand, and not out of ignorance. Out of not having the biological equipment to understand it. The romantic attraction is like light pollution--it blocks out the stars for us so we have a limited understanding of its visuals. But aromatic people are like those who don't live near light pollution. You can see things in a deep complex way that those with romantic attraction simply can't.

I don't think I can understand the feelings and nuance of, for example, raising kids with someone in a platonic way. Sure I have some frames of reference, like being raised by a community or having a consistent babysitter who is also a close friend to a parent, but these aren't exactly what is going on. They're just the best rendering of the experience I can use to understand this dynamic. And it's not because I refuse to accept it, it's just that I can't not think that there must be a romantic attraction somehow, because we so closely tie romance and child rearing. I also can't understand sexual attraction to a single sex. My closest reference is not being attracted to a specific person, but that isn't really whats happening to someone who only experiences a single sex attraction. They experience something that I am blind to.

But just because I can't see the whole splendor of the milky way doesn't mean it isn't there. And I'd rather sit and let someone tell me about the colors than spend the rest of my life trying to convince them that above us is nothing but inky black.

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[thecryptkeeper]

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!

[zmpl]

speaking of r slur shit i see people using the word then backtracking saying “i can reclaim it because i’m autistic :)” like i don’t think you can actually. because the r slur directly targets people with intellectual disabilities not someone who took the raads-r online and scored slightly within range of being on the spectrum SORRY

[el-oh-her]

I have a sibling with a more severe presentation of Down Syndrome so we have to defend them in their place, so coming from the more extreme side of intellectual disability, you use it in the context of medical diagnoses or, in very rare situations, to make an explicit point at the severity of the word.

My sibling is of the last generation of people who were diagnosed as mentally retarded and I had to be educated on its slur properties because at 5 years old I had know the word only as a medical diagnosis. My brother had down syndrome and that made him mentally retarded which means he will grow up at a slower pace than me. My parents were not sugar coating type parents. Real terminology only family.

[solarifle]

"we have to accept the fact that the r word is coming back" NO WE DONTTTT NO WE DONT

[el-oh-her]

If you genuinely think the slur is coming back then walk up to a stranger with Down Syndrome right now and casually call them the slur in conversation. Just do it. See what happens.

The slur has not evolved like the term queer where you can walk up to a stranger and ask if they're queer. You won't get your teeth kicked in.

However, if you casually try to call my intellectually disabled sibling a retard in a quirky fun casual way, there will be a line out the door of people ready to make you the Tooth Fairy's #1 supplier of teeth. It actually is that serious
