They/them ; ~~~ pfp by Avery

Am I aromantic, or does my autism cause me to feel like classic “romantic” behaviors are inauthentic and I’m bad at performing them?

Am I aromantic or does the “fun” mutual teasing, the unspoken rules of dating, the ungraspable social game of it all feel terrifying, unintuitive, repulsive, prohibiting?

Am I aromantic, or are the steps just out of order for me?

I do love. Deeply, soul crushingly, intensely, earth-shakingly. I write poetry for my loves, enjoy holding hands with them, sharing my soul with them.

I enjoy living with them, cooking meals together, taking our kid/s to the park together, running errands together. It feels like home.

Am I aromantic if the only kind of love I create feels more like family than fireworks?

Companionship, safety, friendship to the max, affection, maybe even sex (though never necessary), but… somehow it just seems different, queerer, than how people describe their romances.

I do not know where best friend ends and lover begins, if there even is a difference. People insist there is. I have felt euphoria in the development of such friendships, so… are all my friends my lovers? Are my lovers all my friends? We all love each other, but not in the way that’s scary to tell somebody. “Don’t say I love you yet, it’s too early” Scuse you, I DO love them and I WILL tell them, every time I feel it; the ‘I Love You’ will just grow deeper and richer over time, like a plant stretching roots down deep.

But somehow… when I say that, people say that’s different than romance. Weirder.

Maybe the categories are just too narrow for the breadth of the human experience.

Or maybe I’m just aromantic.

Hard tellin.

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

[cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052]

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

[bitterbearsf]

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

[internutter]

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

And whatever you do, don’t watch that awful movie Stonewall.  Go watch a documentary on Marsha P. Johnson instead.

[at-the-end-of-all]

there’s a wonderful documentary on netflix called the death and life of marsha p. johnson! very powerful watch.

"if Jax is a trans woman she's still an abuser so she's bad representation so the show is transphobic" you're an idiot. you want your blorbos to be perfect ideal angels, I want my blorbos to be realistic, nuanced, flawed human beings, we are not the same. I LIKE that she's messy and fucked up and problematic, I think it's a realistic depiction of how a lot of repressed and traumatized trans women are. I think the show goes to great lengths to explore how and why she is the way she is, and to evoke sympathy for this kind of person. it doesn't excuse her actions but it does make them understandable. and I think the fact women like that deserve sympathy is an idea worth stating and worth shouting. yes she's a bully and she hurt everyone around her and that may never change. she still deserves sympathy.

So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.

So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.

[straawberries]

can ppl pls reblog this version

[obsidian-flame]

Serbian here living in Belgrade! This is all true and I've actually seen some of these around the city a few times. They're amazing at what they do and really cool to watch up close because you can see pretty swirling inside them. It's not only functional but aesthetically pretty nice as well!

the secret cheat code for women is realizing you dont have to date men

[curseworm]

this doesnt just go for lesbians it goes for bi women and straight women too. i cant even count how many times straight women have told me “i wish i was a lesbian so i didnt have to date men” but guess what … u Dont have to date men 

[curseworm]

to be clear this also isnt necessarily saying ‘go date women instead!!’ its just saying…. u dont have to date men. u dont have to be dating women in order to not date men! in fact if ur not attracted to women at all please dont date women just as a substitute for men. but if dating men isnt making u happy… u dont have to do that. u dont have to make a space in ur life for men

[curseworm]

im singlehandedly destroying every mans mental health by telling women its ok to not date them

[transsexual-feminism]

Won’t you think of the men!

[liamnottherose]

MAN’S MENTAL HEALTH DOESN’T DEPEND ON DATING WOMAN. IF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH CRUSHES WHEN YOU’RE NOT DATING WOMAN YOUR MENTAL HEALTH WAS NOT GREAT IN THE FIRST PLACE

[quinn-must-die]

The men can just date other men problem solved

[liamnottherose]

I won't deny fun in the answer but truly, NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO DATE ANYONE TO IMPROVE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.

i don't even know about this one

[suncaptor]

picky eating IS such a good test of whether or not someone wants to be an ableist bully in a socially acceptable way tbh. like do you need to know why someone is a picky eater and for what reasons do you deem it alright to not mock and dehumanize and infantalise someone because their disability impacts the way they eat. what justification for why they eat a certain way is good enough for you to not treat someone like shit.

[lucii-bug]

okay i just have to say this even though im not very active in this fandom but. sugar cloud is the Thesis of the entire show and the only reason that ocean chooses jane at the end of the show is… because of sugar cloud. "to say that because we died young we died needlessly would be to discount all the years we had" is. the Entire message. of sugar cloud. ocean would have never come to that conclusion without it and it’s kind of ironic still that she is using constance’s narrative to now shape her own when constance had been using ocean’s narrative to shape her purpose throughout the entire show. and Still, ocean gets the credit for that final decision. constance is the grounding narrative of the show and jawbreaker/sugar cloud Is the turning point of the show, at least for ocean’s ultimate decision.

and that’s kind of the whole point of their relationship, it is like the most important part of the show’s plot. ocean had to see constance as an equal and Listen to her for the first time, and it led ocean to make the right decision. their relationship is the primary development and full circle plot line throughout the show and it is what leads the show to have the ending that it does. the turns Start with ocean and End with constance. that is necessary and pivotal to the plot. and not just because ocean has to wait to have that turn in her opinion until the end. it is a mirror of their entire relationship. even when constance is originally pitched by karnak, the first thing constance does is try to turn the attention back on ocean because that is what she is used to and it is what she has always done. ocean doesnt even acknowledge the interaction between karnak and constance because she Isnt Listening.

this post isn’t about not liking sugar cloud as a song, but it is about the importance that it plays into the plot and how constance is the most Vital person in the show to the final conclusion.

[chimerakisu]

ik nobody's talking about these songs anymore but I've been thinkin about this ship ever since ERB came out so... I call this "Confessions of a Rotten Ego Renegade Boy" because it's dumb and it fits them

I've realized recently that every time I'm asked for socials my response is sorta "oh i don't have twitter" "I'm not on Instagram much" "i uninstalled TikTok a few months ago" and this has led people into believing I'm just someone who doesn't do social media but in reality you can find me in here lets get it on cunts monday through shawty like a melody sunday, 9am to 12am, posting blorbo.

I was going to be like "well that certainly was not true cause you deactivated" and then I looked at the blog and. that's literally my old blog.
