quick are you mythologizing sex again? are you making it seem like a special category of human behavior rather than just a thing people do? are you forgetting that it can be silly or fun or simply pedestrian? are you forgetting that it requires conversation and negotiation just like every other human activity that involves other people?

[dykeselfcest]

things that are extremely normal to say and do not kill the mood or remove the romance or anything:

hey do you want to have sex tonight/tomorrow/later this week?

would you like it if I say x during sex?

do you want to put on some music?

hold on, let me look up how to tie that knot again.

can we change positions? this one isn't great for my back/arm/whatever.

I don't want to put on like 2014 Sex Positive Educator Voice but like I promise it's not that special or scary and you don't have to completely change your behavior to have sex, it's normal and healthy to talk about it and negotiate and figure things out as you go. and when I see people say things like "I feel like it would be weird to stop and put on music/adjust positions/etc" I feel like that's part of mythologizing sex? like there's not some magical mood that you will ruin by speaking up or making some adjustments or setting something up. it's okay I swear.

this is on my dash and I just want to add in response to some comments that yes, there are some people who will think that things like this kill the mood. those are not the people you should be having sex with. in my experience the mythical "mood" is only easy to kill if a) you are making a bad decision and stopping makes you think about it too hard b) you're afraid of sex and talking about sex.

but also, if something does happen/an interruption goes on too long/whatever and you're simply no longer turned on, you can go back to foreplay or just decide to have sex another time instead. it's okay!

also, read the notes on this post for some pretty good sex stories. my favorite is the person who played rock-paper-scissors with their partner to decide who had to get out of the shower and run around the house wet and naked to get a condom.

tumblr what is wrong with you first the walrus vs fairy thing and now this? are you saying it's less fucked up to find out you're not a biological organism than find out you're a human created from one parent-twin who is genetically identical to you?

Clone: horror at the lie of your body (for what purpose? how many are there? are they like you?)

vs.

Robot: horror at the lie of your mind and your humanity itself (have you ever actually had a thought of your own, or is everything you are/you think/you understand just created by another person’s brain? whose mind/brain are you?? whose thoughts are in your head?? What does it mean to “think” when you’re only a manmade echo of humanity constructed from Boolean logic loops? Do you even have a soul?)

There’s a CLEAR ANSWER HERE.

[distortiondragon]

clone: you are the theft of another being, inextricably tied by the blood running through your veins they may not have even given to you. you aren't you, you're them, you were made to be them, you're not different, there shpuld not be a you, you are them,

robot: ok well im a robot so show me my blueprints so i can install a sword in my arm to beat up ppl that i dont like. what the fuck ever. can i run doom

The most jarring thing about reading quotes from republicans during the AIDS crisis is not how cruel and bigoted they were (which cannot be overstated), but how familiar they are. Calling to forcibly tattoo people with AIDS so they could be identified doesn't just sound like an extreme but dated position of the 1980s; powerful republicans are still saying comparable shit every day. Jesse Helms is running for president in the form of Ron DeSantis. When American liberals and moderates ask "what happened to the republicans," the answer is nothing. They have been just as brutal and genocidal for the past 40+ years, and anyone who says otherwise has been ignoring the pleas and struggles of persecuted groups.

This pizza was made over here in Brazil and I’m happy to inform everyone that the method they used to get the toppings over the whole dough evenly is just slightly less funny than what the last poster in the thread suggested:

They hovered a guy over it using a crane and maneuvered him around by pushing him with a pole.

Tumblr is so funny because you can make a post like "hey do not mix bleach and vinegar in your cleaning, you'll make chlorine gas and you do not want to make chlorine gas. It is dangerous to mix these two specific chemicals together", and the comments are like

"Um vinegar isn't dangerous?? My mom cleans things with vinegar all the time and we have never had lung issues. White people are insane." (<- does not use bleach, missing the point)

"OH MY GOD BLEACH IS CHLORINE GAS? NOBODY EVER TOLD ME I'VE BEEN CLEANING WITH BLEACH MY WHOLE LIFE, I WILL DIE." (<- has literally never used vinegar in cleaning, and never mixed the two, missing the point)

"This is just stupid fearmongering, we use bleach and vinegar to wash the floors all the time, OP is lying." (<- does not actually know what "vinegar" is, and is confusing the word for something else)

"Yeah this is true enough but also keep in mind that this kind of household cleaning product chlorine gas is too weak and unreliable to use for domestic terrorism purposes." (<- raises concerns, but potentially has a point)
