art takes so long and its so tiring but if i dont make art for the rest of my life ill die

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.

Firmly convinced the world would be a better place if we started treating sex the way we'd treat any other mundane preference in life, like what kind of chips a person likes to eat with their lunch.

#!!!#it took a lot of years for me [a cis woman who was exposed to a very sex-saturated teen+early adulthood] to calm tf down abt sex #the sooner you un-do all of society's expectations about sex the happier you will be

BTW, just to make sure everyone knows, this isn't just some internet rando commenting on her observations on the internet.

They are an Assistant Professor of Media Industries at New York University and literally just finished writing The Apple II Age: How the Computer Became Personal, a book on the history of the computer industry in the 70s.

This tweet isn't just an observation, it's the result of years of research and study. And it's absolutely true.

Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible

you must remember that you're gonna continue to find things (art, nature, people, etc) that amaze you and ground you and you're gonna be glad to be alive to experience it

“Here lie the seeds of Gothic fantasy, in that desire for the ‘other’, perceived as needed to complete the ‘self’, is transgressive desire which leads to self destruction.”

— Avril Horner & Sue Zlosnik, ‘Family Gothic’ in Daphne du Maurier: Writing, Identity and the Gothic Imagination (via rotgospels)
