No Gender no Problem @genderqueer-dragon - Tumblr Blog

And at the end of the day, I hate that queer stories in media are being treated like they're 'cringe' or 'forced on the public'. Being aromantic was something I think I always knew about myself but never was able to accept because I wasn't like the stereotype that you see everywhere. It was a sexuality that wasn't talked about much and anything I saw of it always fit slightly wrong to me. Because I never understood what it really felt like, because I never had something to compare my experience to. But if I had something to look at and relate to, I am so sure I would have come to terms with myself years ago. I am so happy that queer media is becoming more normalized through the past few years, but I can't help but mourn the little me that needed it back then. So yeah, maybe shows always having a token gay kid is a little cringe but I would rather that then have some kid have nothing to look at and feel horrible about themselves for years.

THIS IS OUR RADIUM. you're absolutely right

How it feels to use any tool, app, or website right now

Worse, it's our asbestos. It's being put into things we're going to have to keep using long after everyone has to finally accept it was a bad idea, in such a way it will be almost impossible to remove.

Radium suppositories and asbestos might both be in museums but the radium's in the exhibits, the asbestos is in the walls.

it's fucking pride month, how about we stop arguing about who's more oppressed and we all stand up for eachother and hold a united front against tyranny and homophobia together and also hold hands and kiss (or eat garlic bread and ride dragons :D)

I’m so tired of the “why do people hate aspecs, they aren’t doing anything?” argument. I know that it is an attempt to support us, but it fails so spectacularly to understand aromanticism, asexuality, and any other aspec identity that it’s actively frustrating.

We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.

There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:

A single income isn't enough to get by anymore

Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system

Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly

Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.

So, no, aces and aros and other aspecs aren't "doing nothing." We're doing quite a lot.

obviously i don't really *get* romance in general but sometimes i hear about dating norms or anxieties people have about it and i'm just like. that sounds exhausting

theloverislost

as we are rapidly approaching pride month, here’s an obligatory reminder!

AROMANTIC PEOPLE

ASEXUAL PEOPLE

AND AROACE PEOPLE

ALL BELONG IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

I WILL REMOVE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE

I see a lot of folks defending their vitriolic repugnance towards toddlers with cries of "but my sensory needs!" as if children are not also in possession of sensory needs. As if you, an adult here on Tumblr.com, do not have the capability and resources to learn the skills or acquire aids for coping with competing access needs. Or, y'know, just the option to leave, the way children most often do not.

You're holding an actual child to higher standards than you hold yourself, but it's the child that should be removed from public and community spaces. For your comfort.

Go fuck yourselves.

The problem is that they can't afford to. The Supreme Court ruling means that JK Rowling can single-handedly force these organisations into bankruptcy if they don't fold to her wishes, especially as she can afford really, really expensive lawyers and then, if she wins, get the organisations charged with paying her costs. Up until this year, this was a lower risk, because the gender criticals rarely won their cases and had to crowdfund their own legal fees. The Supreme Court has changed that.

Amazon, Warner Brothers and the Harry Potter fandom at large have successfully crowdfunded the campaign to exclude trans women from public life in the UK.

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.

Excellent! AI is wasteful as fuck and we need to stop this shit.

However.

An average golf course uses about 548,000 gallons of water per day.

Indianapolis has 77 golf courses within a 20 mile radius, utilizing an average of 42 million gallons of water. Per day.

Do something about that too, please.

depsidase

yes! thank you! golf also needs to be stopped. it does not need to exist. play minigolf or virtual golf or something i dunno but there is absolutely no reason golf should be allowed to exist in a world where water is becoming increasingly scarce and even land itself increasingly expensive.

one's love of golf does not outweigh civilization's need for water. it does not outweigh all the ecosystems' needs for water. get that selfish boomer attitude out of here. it has no place in the 21st century.

not to be art snob guy but everyone knows that the Mona Lisa isn't the most valuable painting in the world cause he painted the woman so "beautiful" right. Like I just saw someone compare another painting (that was good!) but go this one should be celebrated as much as the Mona Lisa, look how beautiful it is- okay you know that's not why tho right.

Da Vinci stepped into a realm of anatomy and technique that no-one had ever done before. He Mastered light in a time where they were just painting the background and the subject the exact same focus.

What we understand about aperture, perspective, the human eye- Da Vinci was utilising before the scientific community even knew what a retina did. Do you understand how Crazy that is.

He invented a 3D stereoscopic picture in the 1500s. It would take two more centuries before physicists even arrived at the concept of stereography.

Do you understand how much math that is. A lot of fucking math man.

And I'm not even talking about colour or texture rn!!! He did it so we can't see the brushstrokes! It would require x-rays to view the work he did.

I just know sometimes people go oh why's this painting so special- it's very important to me that you know that the Mona Lisa was like an Atomic Bomb on the Renaissance art community. Almost EVERY piece of art you view today you could track it's influence back to what da Vinci did.

Like other art deserves its time in the spotlight, of course, but you know we didn't all gather around one day and go this lady is the prettiest this painting shall now be the Best. It's the most valuable painting in the world because..,. Well because it's the most valuable painting in the world.
