the problem with "isn't a queerplatonic partnership just being friends?" isn't the "friends" part, it's the "just" part.

many defenses of the queerplatonic relationship label miss the entire point: the QUEERING of a PLATONIC relationship. it is not "more than friendship but less than romance", it is a friendship that breaks the boundaries of what's expected of one, to the point that "friend" may not feel like a strong enough word in a society that treats certain types of affection and levels of commitment as "above" friendship.

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY

(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)

It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:

So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest

I’m so tired of the “why do people hate aspecs, they aren’t doing anything?” argument. I know that it is an attempt to support us, but it fails so spectacularly to understand aromanticism, asexuality, and any other aspec identity that it’s actively frustrating.

We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.

There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:

A single income isn't enough to get by anymore

Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system

Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly

Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.

So, no, aces and aros and other aspecs aren't "doing nothing." We're doing quite a lot.

Istg, if I ever get rabies because some dumb ass antivaxxer refused to vaccinate their dog, I’ll probably be doing the rest of my blogging from prison because I promise you, Imma curbstomp the shit out of the owner

doberbutts

Fun fact: if your dog is unvaccinated and bites someone, in most states it's not only perfectly legal but SUGGESTED COURSE OF ACTION for animal control to seize your dog, euthanize it, and cut its head off for rabies testing. This process costs 300-500 USD and is the responsibility of the owner to pay.

This happened to someone on tumblr, and happens with regularity at my job, so it is not a far-flung worst case scenario.

Rabies shots cost 20 USD at your local pet store or farm supply and if your dog bites someone while vaccinated, all you have to do is quarantine for 10 days.

bisquid

Once again:

Rabies is one of the most lethal diseases in the world

If you get bitten by a rabid dog - or even slobbered on by a rabid dog and happen to have an open wound - and don't get medical treatment until you develop symptoms; congratulations! You're dead.

Vaccinate your fucking pets

I also suggest vaccination

it's really painfully obvious that the most extreme thing some people can imagine a parent doing to a child is hitting them once out of uniquely monumental anger and feeling bad about it afterwards. I'm sorry but you have to understand that parents are, actively, at a larger scale than literally anyone else (chapter 3, perpetrator relationship): raping their kids for years on end (my childhood); beating them to the point they regularly fear for their lives (my friend's childhood); torturing them to death (candace newmaker); locking them up without any human contact, depriving them of every single human necessity (genie). There are countless stories like this, of exploitation and abuse in a thousand awful flavors, countless examples of all of these things, and you have to understand that these are not exceptions to the healthy, functional family; these abuses are all made possible, even probable (e.g. spanking, forced dressing/undressing, unwanted sexual comments about the body, unwanted invasion or denial of privacy) by the ownership and power parents are given over their children. You don't need exceptional wealth and power to wreak the worst kinds of violence on a child. All you need are the natural rights given for parenting one.

sugary-sheep

every single fucking study shows that parents are the biggest abusers of their own children in every fucking category but no one cares!!!!! we can't change anything about the world, we just need to whack-a-mole punish the mentally-predisposed-exceptional-degeneretes the bourgeois state manage to catch and prosecute, and oh of course give more fucking power to parents so they can Keep Kids Safe And Isolated Fanily Home Is Perfect Place To Put Child Safe Environment Good Size, but it's never going to fucking stop until something fundamentally changes!!!!!!!!! Children need political power, they need economic support, they need independence and they need rights. The right to say no to what adults want from you, the right to leave your parents, the right to be provided with food and a home.

im being so serious when i say this but we need to bring back the "my genitals are none of your business" "if gender is whats in my pants then my gender is some loose change" mentality from the late 2010's because too many people on here are openly flirting with exclusionary people who spout enbyphobic rhetoric. stop caring about what people's agabs are you assholes. they literally mean nothing. they're not a zodiac sign or indicative of people's character. you are not wholly pure or wholly evil because of your assigned sex. you're just a person.

ash-and-art

"what genitals do you have?" Is sexual harassment regardless if its from a security guard or a chronically online furry

I think a lot of the transandrophobia discourse stems from the idea that transfems and transmascs are parallel and inverse. If a transfem experiences one thing, then transmascs must experience the same thing but opposite. In reality, there are gonna be challenges that transfems face that have no transmasc equivalent, challenges that transmascs face that have no transfem equivalent, and challenges that both face in similar or only slightly different ways. That's not even accounting for nonbinary and intersex people who have a whole host of their or challenges outside of this rigid framework we've recreated.

Okay but the right photographer makes you look hot as fuck

Box + Cat.

Keith Haring's story is usually told as a solo rise, but that version leaves out Angel "LA II" Ortiz, a Puerto Rican artist from the Lower East Side who collaborated with Haring from the very beginning. Angel was a teenager when they met, already active in the neighborhood's graffiti culture. He taught Keith how tagging worked on the street, painted alongside him, and guided him through spaces Keith did not come from. Angel's tags, infill, and visual language appear across works that later became associated with Keith Haring's public legacy.

After Keith Haring's death, the story changed. Museums mounted exhibitions, publishers released books, and merchandise entered the market under a single name.

In that process, Angel Ortiz was framed as hired labor instead of a collaborator, even though his work remains visible on paintings, sculptures, and objects shown in major institutions today. Angel has said openly that race played a role in his erasure, and photographer Clayton Patterson has explained how institutions chose a simpler version of the story that centered one white artist and removed a Puerto Rican collaborator. Angel Ortiz is still working as an artist today, and the time has come for the art world to give him clear credit for the work he helped create…yuliaxgon
