Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing
This image is so so fucking important to me
Reblog this, cowards
Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.
So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.
Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
When I was in 5th grade a girl told me that “black boys couldn’t be pretty” it took me a long time to see something worthwhile in the mirror
A girl can be a handsome fella. This is obvious

The thing is, even if you were lucky and your parents taught you how to clean, they probably didn't teach you how to clean the stuff you clean stuff with, like brushes, mops, sponges, rags, and so on. Or how to clean your cleaning appliances, like a dish washer, clothes washing machine, and clothes dryer and its ducts (if you have a ducted dryer), or a carpet cleaner, vacuum, Or how to clean up clean messes, like spilled bleach or detergent.
My parents threw away all of these things (even the vacuum cleaners and the dryer) when they got too dirty to function, because no one even told them THAT they could be cleaned. Cost them thousands of dollars over the years.
All I'm saying is that cleaning is not intuitive, and not knowing how to clean is not a moral failing, but it is something you can learn.
I'm going to reblog this post with resources for learning how to clean things and how to clean cleaning things (I'm not at my desk at the moment). If you have any favorites, please feel free to add them in too!
I like this video because it does a great job of introducing the basic foundations of house cleaning (and because he doesn't use bleach, which is a common allergy in addition to being awful to inhale). He also talks a little about how to clean a vacuum. And why you shouldn't put grease from your pots and pans down the sink drain. I also love that he mentions that different houses and different people have different needs and different versions of what clean and cleaning looks like.
He doesn't mention though that the toilet seat comes off. I take my toilet seat off to clean under the hinges and clean the seat more thoroughly once a quarter.
This is another video from the same guy about cleaning and depression. This advice, especially at the beginning, can feel really really difficult and oppressive to hear. However, I find that it's generally pretty solid. But I'm autistic and so is he, so that gets a massive Your Mileage May Vary stamp on it.
I have a favorite part of this video. It's from 10:52 to 12:36. I think we could all use to hear that. There's a HEFTY pause after that one. I promise the narration does come back.
I'm also going to recommend KC Davis' book "How To Keep House While Drowning"
This is a pair of videos about how to correctly load and use a dish washer.
The first one is a quick 1 minute 30 second overview on loading. I can't find the exact video I'm looking for, so consider this a substitute for that. If I can find the one I'm looking for, I'll swap it in.
The second is a half hour deep dive on dishwashers and detergents. The short form of that is you shouldn't need to pre-rinse anything, detergent pods are overpriced and can cause problems, some dishwashers have a filter in the bottom that needs to be cleaned (but most don't), run your sink until the water is HOT before starting your dish washer, and put a little detergent in the pre-rinse dispenser when you're washing extra dirty dishes (or on the inside of the door if your dishwasher doesn't have a pre-rinse dispenser).
Favorite Scrub Brushes + How to Clean Them. The right tools for cleaning tasks make all the difference! Scrub brushes are great tools and it
Here's a blog post about scrubbing brushes and how to clean them.
And a video for all cleaning tools, including scrub brushes. This video does use bleach. I'll try to find some alternatives to that.
How to clean a front load washer (with bleach). This should be done monthly or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
With expert tips and tricks for all types of washers.
How to clean a top loader (without the removable agitator thing). This should be done every 1-3 months depending on you unit, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
Regular cleaning of a top-load washing machine will prolong the life of the appliance and leave your laundry cleaner and brighter.
How to clean a top loader (with the removable agitator thing). This should be done every month, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
This video is for pet owners.
These carpet brushes are a LIFE SAVER if you have dogs. This thing allows me to go from vacuuming about 4 square feet before my vacuum is full to vacuuming half the living room (I don't vacuum often enough. You should vacuum weekly, and I just can't.). I have to unclog the vacuum less often. It fluffs up some of the flat spots in the carpet. And I also use the brush to shampoo my rugs in the spring.
A spot cleaner (or a carpet cleaner with a spot cleaner attachment) is another life saver, ESPECIALLY if you can afford to splurge on a heated one. I see them at Goodwill or at yard sales occasionally, and they're worth picking up. The shark one in the video is great too.
This channel is gold. There's tutorials for cleaning EVERYTHING on there. Just go subscribe!
Gonna throw another potential resource at the end of this very long list, which may be potentially helpful for others like me who loathe videos. It's... the weirdest thing that has genuinely been helpful to me in housekeeping. Absolutely full of useful advice, and bizarrely still relevant in large part. (Though, caveat, research ANYTHING to do with chemicals or cleaning products more complicated than vinegar + lemon + water for modern information.)
It's America's Housekeeping Book (1941). Available for free download on the Internet Archive. (Large PDF file at the link here).
The LISTS y'all. The step by step lists. The emphasis on efficiency and arranging spaces for the least resistance possible. The basic concept of "take a tray or basket into a room when you are tidying up so you can put things that belong elsewhere on it and take them out LATER in ONE GO".

When the topic becomes about racism between children you very quickly realise children of colour aren't seen as children but as some other thing that should just take the abuse and then forgive the Real White Children because they didn't know better. They don't understand it but children of colour can and will very early in their youth.
Lead poisoning FROM BULLETS. The Romans would have started breaking out into hives and sacrifices by three pm
Important tags from @spontaneousmusicalnumber about how they’re eating lead
Also important to note: they have made lead-free bullets/buckshot/birdshot for Literal Decades. People using lead projectiles do so because it's cheaper (copper, steel, or alloy ammunition is usually about 25% more expensive than lead) or because they think that the push for lead-free ammunition is 'dumb environmentalist bullshit.' Also a problem: lead fishing weights. If a fish gets away and the weights stay with the fish, an animal that eats the fish is likely to also eat that lead.
Woke up to my dash on fire. Been recieving some asks about it. I'll make my stance abundantly clear to the entire community:
Disagreements & culture shifts will arrive, it's only natural as people discover the label. The purpose of this blog was to prevent future conflict as much as possible and show the depth of Gender Nonconformity and overlooked aspects of queer identity. As such Identities and experiences were associated due to similar places of social marginalization, or usage by queers.
Role Reversal, in my own opinion, is where I failed to consider how tricky of a situation it was to tactfully explore. For alot of you, it is seen either as entertainment or an important lifestyle, hence the split.
One side lies a feminist critique of the misogynistic attitudes rampant in the community, this a problem which I've talked about before. On their end, burning bridges with it feels quite freeing. On the other side lies some who find solace in inverted gender roles, noting their inherent difference from traditonally straight relationships.
Now, I won't place myself as a higher authority that commands you stop either side— from my understanding, a good amount of people are disatisfied with RR as it is in the community. What I will say as a community member, is to be careful where you take the conflict in response to differing viewpoints.
Disagreeing with someone is a very different thing than excluding them from the community entirely.
Putting this out there to ya'll so you aren't suprised:
I don't like it when you equate hetgnc to rolereversal or use it in the same tags. They are very much different things. Pegging and all the other social actions roles can be preformed at any time. Our presentation and identity is what causes our oppression.
It really irks me when you guys post/ask about the two as if it's synonymous. We have bigger fish to fry.
Girl I love your post And I also agree with all your criticisms of role-reversal because r/rolereversal reddit is messy up, I understand that this might make you uncomfortable, but it's a bit rude to ask this when even the creator of Virago has said that role-reversal is also part of this circle; role-reversal isn't just for Gender conformity people also includes gender non-conforming people and queer, that's why the #hetgnc hashtag is added.
It's fine that you find it uncomfortable, I totally respect that, but you have to see that many people left that place and came here. I don't know what bothers you about role-reversal. But there are many #hetgnc people who are in the role reversal and want to talk about their experiences or content too
I'm fine with being a bit rude in this case.
I'm was one of those people by the way! But I particularly don't think it should be discussed in tandem of issues hetgnc people face. Especially when the role reversal sphere is very shallow in content. It's essentially fictional entertainment and fandom as opposed to actual experiences and representation.
I feel like the bar is so low for people who actually struggle with being GNC. Alot of posts aren't really HetGNC when the characters are clearly gender conforming. And like @bellboutique said, it becomes much worse when political conciousness of hetgnc people is so poor.
I'm also frustrated because I care a lot about hetgnc i loveee hetgnc , But I don't think calling the couples role-reversal superficial is the right thing to do, here to remind that we live in a patriarchal society that doesn't allow women and men to express themselves and more,And those most affected are queer and those opposed to the status quo gender roles; role-reversal content may seem "superficial" but there is literally no option ,It's literally waiting for people to notice we exist...
I've also seen people who enjoy role-reversal
talk about their experiences, so I'm very sorry you encountered the wrong side.
It's okay that you don't like it because I also sometimes feel subfamiliar by that term when gender-conforming people talk about it., but you also can't expect absolutely everything in this space to exclude role-reversal when several creators here include it.
Furthermore, this term also includes femxfem and mascxmasc people because they date a gender-conforming person and engage in role-reversal as well.
Vent but I wish people could say “lack of pegging and/or mpreg in RR/HetGNC media doesn’t make it less HetGNC” without relying on rhetoric that reduced womanhood to vulvas and uteruses. I’m this close to disemboweling myself I swear to god.
I don’t wanna hear you claim pegging and mpreg being “the face of RR” is “misogynistic” and then turn right around and say shit like “men drooling over silicone strap ons rather than the actual woman herself” GET OUT
“Um whether you like it or not women have vulvas and clits and uteruses and the ability to give birth” motherfucker you think I don’t know that. YOU THINK I DON’T FUCKING KNOW THAT. YOU THINK I’M NOT AWARE OF SEXUAL ROLES THAT IM NOT ALLOWED TO DEVIATE FROM.
yes I know some people make a lot of stereotypes and fetishistic comments about RR couples and pegging and mpreg but can you fuckers address that without acting like women who do desire mpreg and pegging are having unnatural desires or like the prevalence of pegging and mpreg is rooted in misogyny. CAN PEOPLE BE FUCKING NORMAL ABOUT PEGGING AND MPREG AND PEOPLE WHO LIKE IT FOR ONCE. FOR FUCKING ONCE.
last one for now but
“REAL reversal of PIV would be women using their clits/vulva on a man rather than covering it up with a strap on” hey why are you so threatened by strap ons. Did strap ons kill your grandma or something.
sometimes i think about how much easier my life would be if i were "normal"
if i could go to a bar and make eye contact with some guy and we go and fuck
instead its like. sometimes i find i guy i think is hot. bout 15% of the time hes not even repulsed by the sight of masc girls
and of that 15%- we chat. maybe start realizing we could be into each other. inevitably, i have to mention that i have bottom dysphoria. what that means. that pegging isnt a "kink" for me so much as the only way i can enjoy sex
75% of the time; the guy's disgusted by this and he bails. never says a word to me again
25% of the time he gets aggressive about it. he feels threatened, like im trying to emasculate him. i dont know if hes going to try to kill me or not. i walk home looking over my shoulder
both usually try to convince me that "if i tried it, i might like it!". and when i say no, when i try to explain thats never been something i wanted nor ever was into, its taken as well as any other rejection
sometimes i just wish more than anything that i could be 'normal'. that i was attracted to those 6' shaved sasquatch lookin, gender conforming guys, that i wasnt filled with revulsion at the thought of having a dick up my hooter. that i wasnt the way i am. i wish i wish i wish
i'm so sorry🫂🫂🫂its such a lonely experience
but if i could find somebody who loves me for who i am, i think most of us can. its easier nowadays in the internet age. i mean she lives 7 hours or so away from me but we still get to see eachother & will eventually live together.
