RIVERLAMB CONTAINMENT BREACH SCREAM

[damndorothea]

i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today

[arowitharrows]

I feel like people struggle to understand that my life as an aorace person is not centered around an absence of relationships. There is no romance shaped void that I am trying to live with, or live around, or which my life's purpose is to fill somehow.

I go to university and I go to work and I volunteer in my community and in the in-between moments I drink tea with my friends and I plant tomatoes on my balcony and there is no need for anything else. There is no room for anything else anyway.

When I am asked how I deal with 'the hole in my life' or what I do with 'all my free time', I know these questions are not about me at all. They are a reflection of the person asking.

Its kind of asking how you cope with the lack of parking spaces when someone doesnt own a car

[ace-of-bass]

Ooh I love this analogy because not owning a car does come with problems (at least in the US typically), namely that US infrastructure is so reliant on cars that not owning one means that you deal with other problems, like lack of bike lanes, infrequent public transit, people always assuming you can drive places, etc. Aro/ace people do face problems due to amatonormativity in society, such as inaffordability of places to live alone (because it's assumed you'll live with a roommate until you're a "real adult" and live with a partner and also because of capitalism), lack of ways to meet new people that aren't specifically focused on dating, and people always asking when you'll settle down, aren't you lonely, don't you miss having a partner? as OP talked about.

Like, there are problems that one encounters as a carless person, and there are problems I've encountered as an aroace person. But the problem as a carless person isn't lack of parking spaces and the problem as an aroace person isn't lack of a relationship.

I was NOT prepared for Russell T Davies' Tip Toe to have the mum listening to an audio of Slow Horses River/Lamb fanfic

[lorquiana]

do you ever just think about how it was joe + nicky + andy + quynh for centuries, just the four of them, and then they lost quynh and then it was just joe + nicky + andy, and how joe + nicky were probably there during andy's worst moments and how they must have become so much closer because of it and how then it was just the three of them after that until booker showed up and then the way they greet each other at the start of the movie and how nicky brings andy baklava and how joe picks her up and how they're both so obviously worried for her at the end of the movie and how all three of them love each other so, so much because even in andy's darkest moments she had them and they had her and how they're family because i do, a lot,

there is a motion tabled to block this code of practice, signed by 70+ MPS as of writing this (June 3, 2026). do not lose momentum now! check if your mp is on the list, and if not, ask them to sign.

Petition: Review anti-discrimination laws to strengthen trans women & LGBTQ+ protections

Launch a review into strengthening legal protections and clearer enforcement against discrimination, harassment and exclusion of trans women

there is a petition that uk folks can sign also - currently at 2,000 signatures out of 10,000 needed for a government response

[alianoralacanta]

For anyone wondering: the Code of Practice is sufficiently ignorant of what "biological sex" is, that the majority of people (regardless of gender) run the risk of being blocked from using any gendered facility whatsoever. This will particularly hit trans people, non-white people, anyone with a disability, children, teenagers and anyone else people like bullying (because it is likely that most challenges will be from bullies rather than good-faith complainants of any description). The Code of Practice does not allow any consequences for vexatious complainants or bullies, only for the people they bully. It also bans unisex accommodations, which means that places like the NHS face potentially needing to double their accommodation to serve the same number of patients (because the NHS cannot in most cases guarantee anything about the sex or gender balance of visitors). Even British transphobes should sign this petition. (That any British person who respects trans people and can access the petition should also sign it, would have been obvious to them before reading my addition. Trans people should be respected).

[sapphictechgoddess]

the petition is currently at 12,723 out of the 100,000 it needs to be considered for debate in parliament!
