this is a reminder that these wonderful websites exist:

aroworlds.org - aromantic stories and stuff, mostly by K A Cook. aroworlds is also on tumblr

digitaltransarchive.com - well, digital trans archives. yeah. you can read old documents, look at pictures of trans people from before. all the way to like 1700s. For example browsing by topic (they have a long list of them)

azejournal.com - aro/ace/agender multimedia journal. there are some interesting formats. but above all it's a nice way to read reflections about aspec people (do agender people usually get included in aspec? Uhm now they do I suppose).

alternativeto.com - it's just kinda neat. a useful website for finding alternatives to whatever website or app

and a decent list of Norwegian websites and apps. which yeah, send an ask or something.

I love that I can just be nonpartnering. I don't have to get a partner, ever. I can just be single, forever.

A compilation.

Norsk bokmål: (original language)

"Nettopp når de ugifte synes å være rimelig fornøyde med sine liv, nettopp når det enslige livet ser ut til å kunne by på en viss konkurranse til det tradisjonelle familielivet, er det kritikerne røster massivt hever seg. mange ulike strategier blir satt in for å beholde det livslange monogamiets hegemoniske status"

- Tone Hellesund, Kapitler fra singellivets historie

English:

"Precisely when unmarried people seem to be quite satisfied with their lives, precisely when the single life seems to be able to offer some competition to the traditional family life, the voices of the critics are massively raised. many different strategies are deployed to maintain the hegemonic status of lifelong monogamy"

- Tone Hellesund, Chapters from the history of single life

(translated by me) (unofficial translation)

I feel like celebrating not having a partner. I'm nonpartnering, and not having a partner is a win. I've succeeded in listening to myself. I've succeeded in making choices I'm happy with. I've succeeded in not having a partner. I'm happy I don't have to have a partner. I'm happy I don't have a partner. Life is good!
