The kids in our special needs wing never came out of it either. But it was on the way to the biology department. Kids looked in on them like it was a zoo. You could see the teachers beating them on occasion because "it's the only way they learn".

The world is gross

There was some controversy in my school district a little while back because they had referred to Special Education classes as Segregated Learning Environment. The word may be heavily associated with but by no means belongs solely to our racist past.

When I went to school the "special education" buildings were what we called portables which were technically sheds that were put as far as possible from any of the other buildings, the "short buses" only ran in the back of the school, we were only allowed to enter through the back of the school, we weren't allowed to use the general bathrooms, we were only allowed to get permission to use a locked one stall bathroom when other classes were in session so the "regular" kids would have no contact with us and if those kids were passing between classes we were made to line up against a wall and were told not to speak to any of them.

There is a time more I could list and I actually went to classes with able-bodied people but I also had to follow these rules of not using the same entrance and never associating with them unless an adult instructed me to. At recess I either had to sit against the wall or stay in the classroom.

That's why the romantic description is important to us. Asexual doesn't mean no sex. It means we aren't attracted to people sexually. We can still get aroused and all that. There's a whole ace umbrella.

Yes, and not all of you agree on the terminology. If I ever refer to your sexuality personally I would use the terminology you prefer.

[sarahconnorjr]

It's not semantics though. Some asexual people are hetero-romantic others homo-romantic. But to call it semantics erases aromantic asexual people. Romantic identity and sexual identity are two separate things.

And a lot of asexual people enjoy having sex and have sexual urges

and they are still asexual

[sarahconnorjr]

It's impossible to be asexual and heterosexual. You can be ace and hetero-romantic but Asexual is its own thing. Just to point that out. And if we don't belong why is it LGBTQPIA?

You are playing semantics with the terms heterosexual and heteroromantic

Disabled parking has long been an issue in my family on opposite sides my grandmother and grandfather can barely walk. But they refuse placards because they don't want to be beaten or accosted for being "old and lazy" abled people are terrifying.

They absolutely are

Herodotus is more obnoxious than most of the classics. Way back when I was still writing papers it helped me to imagine that I was writing it like an Amazon review of a terrible book and I knew the author would see it. Sarcasm writes papers.

LOLOLOLOL that’d be so great. too bad herodotus is dead??

I just have to analyze one passage though, and I think i’ve finally figured out what path i’m going to take. cambyses was one crazy fucker.
