when able bodied people tell you not to let your illness or disability control your life:

Watch: Another reminder that representation matters — and a special group of people are making it happen.

fun aromantic things: coming to terms with the fact that the majority of the people you love and care about will eventually create their own lives revolving around their marriage and/or children and even if you remain a significant part of their social circle your friendship will still just be a side dish to all of that

watching the notes increasing on this post is just a little bit heartbreaking

hey alloromantic people APPRECIATE YOUR FRIENDS OKAY. don’t let this stuff happen for real.

a lot of prescriptive linguists (the fancy term for snotty english majors, faux-talgic baby boomers, racist gatekeepers, and other subdivisions of the language police) like to shame The Youth for lazy capitalization and punctuation, but the interesting thing is that most young ppl i know who build their lives around texting are actually pretty damn deliberate about their language choices

“u” and “you” show degrees of closeness w/ your partner; using punctuation at the end of a reply text indicates tone; capitalizing certain words in the middle of the sentence is for Emphasis; sometimes we’re sloppy and sometimes we make mistakes but there is a real grammar to internet communication because by “grammar” i mean a “code of language rules that society agrees upon in order to create meaning”, and that is the opposite of being lazy

(tumblr absolutely has such a grammar and you can tell when someone’s not fluent)

the old guard is passionately defending a pure linguistic territory that we don’t want anymore, it’s not useful enough for 21st century relationships dependent on the subtleties of texts

knotted-ribs

this is actually really important, since text based communication lacks the ability to indicate meaning through tonal variations, it’s really so smart and impressive that we’re modifying our written grammar to show emphasis and differences in meanings and tone

The fact that the saying “just friends” exists bothers me so much

Because that’s saying that friendship is by default less important than romance

And that’s bullshit

No kind of love is “less than” any other kind and the fact that people think it is is actually a bit fucked up?

People may prioritize one over the other (which I think is dumb but whatever) but that doesn’t mean that platonic love is in itself less and anyone who thinks it is can fucking fight me

Loneliness

I realised that most of the stories I’ve written have always dealt with the concept of being alone; never as a bad thing, though the worst it can be is melancholic, but as a trait that somehow belongs to the main characters which they have accepted as part of their being. I could then easily how it echoed the experience of most of my entire life, being a very lonely child who kept to herself. I’m still the same person essentially, I still have mental conversations with myself (I think I’m a very funny conversationalist; too bad my social anxiety prevents most people other than my friends from enjoying it), but I’ve accepted this constant trait of being alone and managed to turn it into something that opens doors for me to experience the world in ways I wouldn’t have noticed (try being in a field looking at the clouds passing by! That’s my positive association with being alone).

Being in an age where everyone is connected everywhere and talking to everyone every time (Facebook, anyone?), it can make us more afraid of being alone than we already naturally are. We all have a need to belong to each other. At the same time though we need to learn how to belong to ourselves, and personally I find that it’s a very important especially with so many things going on we could very easily lose ourselves. Having a rich inner life is just as important as having a rich outer life, and they both inform each other.

*I may have jumbled up loneliness and being alone as being the same thing. Yeah I know!! It’s just how I experienced it; sometimes I really hate how I’m unable to easily make friends, which often makes me feel negatively isolated especially in a new environment (I was ALONE in college for a year until I found my clique). It’s terrible. But still things worked out in the end. Until it does though, make a friend out of yourself in the meantime.

It’s the one year anniversary of this comic! I just went through another year of loneliness - I was pretty much all by myself in a new country, with no one I knew at university - but the awesome thing is, unlike my first year in college, I was actually ok. I learnt how to deal with it better. I no longer felt the crushing terror of social inability, though I wish I was better at making more friends, and having somebody to eat and shop with easily. Still it was a good year of hanging out with myself.

Update: after I reblogged this someone messaged me offering me tickets to the sold out Hausu screening with a Q&A and autograph session with the director

These never work for me, but here’s to trying.

I don’t believe in these things

But last time I reblogged one ten/fifteen minutes later I got a call offering me a job

But I reblogged it because I was waiting on hearing back from the job. So there you go.

Roger is cute.

lets see if this works

There was a shooting at my school today.

It was two-and-a-half hours of waiting and worrying. All the while, a host of mostly-false rumors circulated among the student body as to the shooting -- many of us heard that there were four shooters who spread out to hit different parts of the campus. There were also issues with security, with students engineering ways to lock doors that had no locks and opened outward.

I’m really heartened by how well my school handled it. But what a horrific way to end the school year. I’m graduating next week along with thousands of other Bruins, and this is going to be how we remember our final days as students here. And we’ve joined the hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. who have been personally affected by gun violence.

I just wanted to shoot a theory your way. I´ve heard a million theories about how people thought David and Jonathan were gay because David said that Jonathan´s love was better than that of a women´s, but honestly I always thought that he meant that Jonathan´s friendship was more gratifying that sexual relationships. what do you think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think people think of love as something’s that fits perfectly in different categories. They think there’s romantic love, friend love, family love, etc., but sometimes there are kinds of love that don’t fit into those categories. When I read about David and Jonathan, I saw their relationship as much deeper than a friendship, richer than family, but not necessarily romantic. They truly loved each other very much. They were very intimate with each other. But intimacy doesn’t equate to romance or sex.

I, personally like to look at their relationship as a kind of QPR. They were friends, of course, but they were much more than friends. I’m not sure if I’d say David and Jonathan were gay, though. I think he simply found a connection with Jonathan that was unlike any other relationship he had before. That being said, there’s no way to know for sure what David actually felt for Jonathan.

Also, don’t forget that David did really like women. I mean, he had tons of wives. He also sent a man into battle and ordered his troops to withdraw so the man would die just so he could marry the man’s wife. So I guess there could even be an argument of David being Bi. No one can really know for sure.

That was interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing that.
