Online spaces have almost always been where asexual and aromantic people meet each other and organize. This is why the major online campaigns against us around ten years ago were so destructive.

It’s easy to say that cyber bullying doesn’t matter in the real world or whatever but targeted online bullying campaigns have the power to wreck entire communities and support networks.

It’s difficult to just turn off your computer when all the people who relate to this aspect of your life are in there.

I’ve definitely met other asexual and arospec people irl but it’s quite rare. And real life queer spaces are in fact often bars or kink spaces. And like bully for you if you like kink or alcohol or romance but when your entire identity is based around not feeling the feelings often associated with romance and/or sex that’s not always super fun.

And people got relentlessly mocked for bringing up this issue. Shut down. Called childish. Like okay. Fuck us for wanting a sober non sexual spot to meet other queers, right? So childish for wanting options.

I’ve been involved in the online asexual community and doing education about asexuality and aromanticism in both irl and online queer spaces for almost fourteen years now and that short period of time around 2016-2018 took a wrecking ball to my people that I feel like we’ve still barely recovered from and I’m still angry about it.

I think asexual pirates should come back. This time they’re here for your ass. And not sexually.

funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.

oh, did I ever tell you about [thing I've told you about no fewer than four times, opening on exactly this sentence every single one of those times]

accidentally said "invasive thoughts" instead of "intrusive thoughts" today and actually I think I'm onto something. this thought does not belong here and it is harming the local ecosystem

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

"Because I said so" straight up isn't as good an answer as you think it is.

You died! Choose your next reincarnation.

Remember, amount of karma farmed during lifetime will vary depending on chosen form.

"Don't touch that dial now, we're just getting started."

From sketch to finished piece, Mr. Jack Delroy from the indie movie Late Night With The Devil! Loved it lots and I wanted to do some art for it. I feel like this would have been more cohesive color-wise if the skin was done digitally but traditional is what I got right now ^^;

this is the first time drawing David's face so I'm not entirely happy with the mouth but I'll doodle him some more and I know I'll fix that process eventually

I made a blog dedicated to this movie, so most of my ravings about it will be on @nightowlswithjackdelroy and I'm going to try making my own screen caps! So that's exciting :>

at 23 I have become old. I hate new technology. I hate apps. I hate facial recognition. what happened to emails? just send me emails. I don't want to download your app, make and account, add you to my password manager, enable two factor authentication, and verify my identity through sending a photo of my id and recording a video of my face just so I can access information that could just be emailed to me

all of that for what? so you can spy on me a little bit more? so you can sell me as a product? there is no benefit to me of any of this bullshit. I hate the future
