Hi! We're introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They're a steal at $7.99—that's cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog. Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Get yours here!

One thing you gotta know about me is that I do not answer the phone
I find it endlessly fascinating that most humans just want someone who will get up in the middle of the night to close the windows with them when it starts down pouring. We want someone to dry our dishes after we wash them. We just want another person to do mundane activities with. We want to tell someone how the copy machine broke at work and we want to listen to how Debra is causing office drama again. We just want something so simple. We want human connection and honesty and to be bored with someone else instead of bored alone.

I’m always gonna be pissed that amatonormatvity as a term and a model for understanding society was literally mocked into disuse by exclusionists because of its association with aromantic folks.
Amatonormativity, honestly, has approximately fuck-all to do with aros. We did not even coin it, we’re simply the only people who actually take it seriously cause we’re among the ones who are most hurt by it. And it PISSES me the fuck off that it is not a widespread model used in greater queer discussions.
Amatonormativity is what causes romantic relationships to be prioritized above all else. The adults who find themselves slowly losing friends until their only contacts are their coworkers and their own nuclear family? Amatonormativity.
Rebelling against this culture and embracing a non-hierarchical view of relationships is the first step to making genuine connections and improving our collective mental health.
May I also add: Amatonormativity is what causes consensual non-monogamy be treated as inherently abusive, and its the same thing that causes being in an abusive relationship to be seen as better than being single. Amatonormativity is a fundamental part of slut shaming, stigma against sex work and rape culture. Amatonormativity impacts everyone and really should have become a widely discussed and challenged concept but people just hated aspecs so much they were willing to shoot their alleged activism in the foot for it.
okay but on the topic of lovelessness. many people have pushed back against lovelessness by saying that love isn't just romantic, that we all enjoy things in a way that can be called love, and that's true but i think there should be another dimension to lovelessness: that even if you acknowledge other forms of love, you are expected to view romantic love as the highest form. most people will agree that platonic love exists but if an aro says they don't want a partner and just want a friend group, that's still seen as sad and pitiful. just because aros can still "love" doesn't mean our "love" will be valued the same way allo love is. our care is always lesser, always bargain-bin, our affection is always "making do" because at the end of the day society tells us that we are failing our jobs by not chasing romance. and so lovelessness should also be about rejecting the hierarchy of love and chosing to reject the terminology that sees our relationships as lesser because they are not devoted monogamous romances
obsessed with bed.. i love bed. obsessed with pillows blankets and such literally love sleeping
