“L’amour vrai était une flamme passionnée qui brillait de tout son éclat jusqu’à ce qu’elle se consume. Elle ne vacillait pas, ne baissait pas, affaiblie par la banalité du quotidien.”

— Sarah McCoy, Un goût de cannelle et d’espoir

cat hate is just so…….. embarrassing

moontxt

people who hate cats for being “cold” or “mean” never learned emotional intelligence or depth and think that love is only expressed by being submissive and unconditionally obedient

MOOD.

Not every gay person likes the word queer. “Queer” can imply some level of fluidity or open mindedness, which doesn’t always apply because some people are just GAY. Like 100% lesbian or gay. Lesbians in particular can find a lot of power and strength in the words “dyke” and “lesbian,” because those terms carry history and cultural significance for us. By erasing that and rebranding us as “queers,” you ignore our distinct culture and history.

Please stop assuming everyone wants to be referred to as an anti-gay slur meaning “weird.”

(For the record, I think it’s totally understandable why most people these days say queer, both because they’ve reclaimed it and because it’s considered by many to be inclusive. But it’s important to hear this perspective too.)

They didn’t do the maths

prosedumonde

Elle avait appris que le passé était une mosaïque floue faite de bon et de mauvais. Il fallait admettre sa part dans les deux et s’en souvenir. Si on essayait d’oublier, de fuir ses peurs, ses regrets et ses fautes, ils finissaient par vous retrouver et vous consumer comme le loup de son père l’avait fait pour lui.

Pourquoi les sondages politiques sont faux par essence et l’intérêt du vote “utile”

Quelques éléments pour éclairer les indécis et les personnes tentées par un vote “utile” à défaut d’un vote par conviction :

Les sondages sont presque, sinon tous réalisés par internet. Cela laisse de côté de grosses communautés, dont celles qui n’ont pas accès à internet (en particulier les classes pauvres ou rurales), celles qui n’ont pas le temps de se consacrer à ces sondages (classes rurales et/ou ouvrières), les personnes non ou peu francophones, ou qui n’ont pas la volonté de s’investir dans ces sondages. Les instituts de sondages partent du postulat que les sondés représentent un échantillon suffisamment vaste de la population. Or la démarche qui vise à démultiplier leurs résultats pour établir un postulat global est plus de l’ordre de la supputation que des mathématiques, la méthode de sondage n’étant par définition, pas du tout scientifique. C’est ce qui explique que tous les sondages apparaissent comme faux ou très loin de la réalité une fois les scrutins passés. Par exemple, ils n’ont juste pas du tout pu prévoir, ou même envisager la victoire d’Hamon aux primaires socialistes. Hamon jouit d’un fort soutien rural et ouvrier : ces classes n’étant dans les faits pas sondées, les instituts de sondages ont supposé leur vote et… se sont plantés. Même logique dans les élections “surprises” de politiques FN : ce sont les votants issus des classes rurales et ouvrières et/ou pauvres qui les ont fait élire. Ces votants sont invisibles, peu importe le candidat. Pour rappel, si les sondages avaient “vu” juste à l’ère d’internet : Sarko réélu en 2012, pas ou très peu de FN aux législatives, Valls aux primaires PS et Juppé aux primaires droite. Voilà.

Aussi, chaque parti politique y va de sa technique pour altérer les sondages : Par exemple, Mélenchon est réputé pour avoir une équipe d’une trentaine de “geeks”, dont la mission est de torpiller les sondages et d’assurer sa présence sur les réseaux sociaux par le biais des commentaires. Je le prends en exemple car son équipe est justement passée dimanche soir dans Capital, mais cela pourrait être n’importe qui. Les sondages font parti du jeu politique, au même titre que le traitement médiatique qui en est fait. Les sondages ne constituent plus des données fiables mais des suppositions. La seule vérité, c’est qu’il n’y en a pas : il n’y a pas, à l’heure actuelle, de statistiques scientifiques sur les intentions de vote. Le vote utile est donc caduc, dans le sens où il se base sur des informations interprétées. En partant de ce constat (et c’est un conseil tout à fait personnel), ne faites confiance qu’à vous-même et ce en quoi vous croyez. Votez pour le ou la candidat.e qui vous parait aller dans le sens de votre vision de l’avenir, et uniquement cette personne-ci. Nous ne sommes clairement pas à l’abri d’une “surprise”, qu’elle soit bonne ou mauvaise. Vous avez pleinement le pouvoir de créer cette surprise.

What is demisexuality?

I receive asks on the daily about this, no kidding. And while I don’t mind, I thought I’d make a text post for everyone wondering, instead of typing the same thing over and over every time.

What is demisexuality?

Demisexuality is an orientation in which a person does not experience sexual attraction to anyone ever, unless they’ve formed a strong emotional bond to someone. They can experience sensual attraction (the want to hug/cuddle with someone) and aesthetic attraction (finding someone pretty) but sexual attraction only comes in after a strong bond is formed. Demisexuality is on the asexuality scale. Demisexual people cannot experience sexual attraction to strangers, or passers on the street, or anyone unless that strong bond is formed with that person. It is not a preference or choice, it is an orientation. You can have homo-romantic, hetero-romantic, bi-romantic and pan-romantic etc demisexuals. You can have demi-romantic demisexuals. The orientation is not based on who you experience sexual attraction to, it’s how you experience sexual attraction.

There are gonna be people who think we’re making this up, who think it’s a preference and we should “stop trying to be special snowflakes.” We’re not trying to be “special snowflakes.” We’re just people who experience sexual attraction differently, and honestly some of us thought we were broken or that something was wrong with us until we discovered this label and found we are not alone.

As described by Olivia Davis (in her article entitled In Defense of Demisexuality:

“I think it’s likely that many, even most Americans would only have sex with people they feel emotionally connected to. I think that’s a fair assessment. But it isn’t a description of demisexuality. Demisexuality is about desire and arousal, not just sex and who you do it with. It’s not merely that I’m only interested in having sex with people that I love, it’s also that I feel a complete absence of desire or sexual feelings toward everyone else. Ever. What makes me demisexual is that absence. What makes me demisexual is that I’ve only ever been sexually attracted to three people in my whole life. My partner is sexually attracted to that many people during particularly sexy bus rides. And you can tell me that most of the population is like me, but I just don’t think you’re right.” (source:http://goodmenproject.com/gender-fight/in-defense-of-demisexuality/).
