Question of the night

Were you born a trash baby or did you have your trash babiness thrust upon you?

[steve--harringtons]

also it's always good to have an extra copy of id yeah (and health insurance stuffs). also hairbrush! brillenkoker! pen&paper! some noms for during travels! check how your phoneplan works abroad. an extra plastic bag is always handy. scarf, hat, some podcasts or something on your phone maybe? download the map of the area you're going to on your phone (offline areas on google maps thingy)

oh, I need something to do so I won’t worry about dying in a plane crash and stuff! I do have a book and some games on my phone, but I don’t really have anything to listen to. Any tips?

It's always worked for me. Hell, I stuff my purse into my backpack to "consolidate," then take it back out the minute I'm in my seat.

yep, that’s my plan - stuff a smaller purse into the backpack. :)

This is random--I don't know you, etc.--but I sort of peer in at the sociology and ideology of the tumblr radfem community occasionally, and I can't for the life of me think of how they'd justify being anti-ace. How are they managing those sorts of mental gymnastics, if you don't mind sharing? Just curious.

I don’t really understand it myself, but two sentiments i’ve seen pop up over and over are that 1. the fact that not all asexuals are in same-sex relationships makes them straight and therefore filthy het oppressors by default (because privilege can’t ever exist on a spectrum), and 2. since asexual people are ***technically straight***, asexual women who talk about how their asexuality was a factor in their sexual assault/abuse are “appropriating” corrective rape from lesbians and deserve to be shouted down as loudly and nastily as possible. 

There also seems to be a belief that since any prejudice that asexuals face isn’t literally codified in law and isn’t easily separable from things like misogyny and homophobia, it doesn’t really “count” and isn’t worth talking about on its own, even though it results in abuse and often drives people to depression, suicidality and self-harming behaviors. 

It’s especially frustrating for me because my feminism leans mostly radical and the ace community on tumblr is full of toxic politics that need criticizing, but the tumblr radfem side of things is SUPER fucking unsafe for me as well. So these days i restrict my interactions to a few like-minded and supportive mutuals while the Discourse Wars rage around us because none of us has the energy to deal with it anymore.
