SO THAT’S HOW THEY FUCKING DO IT

This is the only day you can RT this

There has never been a time I have not reblogged this.

If you see this, reblog it. You xould save a life.

was gonna leave my comment in the tags but tbh i’m silent enough about this as it is.

seeing stuff like this is so upsetting because these terms were well known and widespread in the ace community but because of exclusionists many people stopped using terms like this because they felt uncomfortable and unsafe.

i loved these terms when i was in highschool, i loved the feeling of community, but i lost that because i didn’t feel comfortable openly and proudly calling myself asexual.

they’ve hurt so many people and damaged our community badly and i will never forgive them for that. we deserve to use our own terminology and feel safe within our community.

I remember these but I also remember how we stopped using them. Petition to use them again please

image description & transcript: 

ace is a popular nickname for a person who is asexual. it is a phonetic shortening of “asexual”, and has led to some symbolism regarding the playing card “ace”. some asexuals use the ace of spades or ace of hearts to represent their orientation. the ace of hearts is more commonly used for romantic asexuals, whereas an aromantic asexual would generally use the spade.

(heart symbol) ace of hearts - romantic asexuals (spade symbol) ace of spades - aromantic asexuals (diamond symbol) ace of diamonds - demisexuals and demiromantic asexuals (club symbol) ace of clubs - grayasexual and grayromantic asexuals

Let’s bring this back!

As of right now, I’m an ace of spades!

I want to prove a point to a coworker of mine.

Reblog if you think aros are LGBTQ+

Like if you don’t

I stg the only people liking this should be ones who didn’t read the second sentence

accidentally liked it because i just automatically do that and got so pissed off.

oh my gods i just watched it and it is absolutely beautiful and fantastic and kinda reminded me a bit of up (by which i mean i unashamedly teared up because i cry a lot watching sweet movies). it’s not even 9 minutes long, there’s no talking, just noises and a bit of background music, but it is truly beautiful and i highly recommend that everyone watch this when they can

#this is how the economy should function

One thing that pisses me off a lot is the fact that the world is not made for single people. Ignore the fact that everyone and their dogs think it's wrong not to want a partner, I'm talking about practical things.

I'm talking about rent and mortgage in a city like London with only one salary. Yes, it's exactly as hard as you can imagine. Not easy on a single salary unless you're senior management level, want to commute two hours each day, or you are lucky enough to have your landlady be your best friend. Or you don't mind living in a shoebox pretending to be a studio. Otherwise, you'll be in a shared house.

I'm talking about holiday and travel, where either you go to hostel dorms of pay double price for a room in most hotels. And there are no packages for one, or barely any, and they are in singles holidays where the objective is not so much travel but stop being single.

I'm talking about doing shopping and producing more food waste than I'm comfortable with because everything comes in bigger portions than one person can reasonably eat. Even with freezing more than half of everything there will still be something that goes off because you were too slow to eat it if you do shopping once a week. Or you have to go shopping every couple of days and eat the same those two days.

It's not enough to have all media telling you you're wrong for not wanting a relationship, the entire world will try to push you into forming one by making it too expensive to be single.

systematic arophobia

I feel like the alternative to this _ought_ to be creating shared communal situations with friends but that is harder than it looks and there are a lot of societal things that make it even harder than it needs to be... and, especially for women, there are a lot of very legitimate reasons not to want to share certain kinds of spaces with strangers and it can be really frustrating that it’s so hard/expensive to NOT do that..,

As a polyam person and also just a leftist nerd, yes, I agree that it should be easier to live communally with large groups of people! That would be great! You could live with your four best friends and be happy, or with your partner and your best friend and their partner, or with your entire polycule, et cetera! Great!

But it doesn't change the fact that you should be able to live alone if you want to, for any reason. If you're fresh out of college, with your first job, and no partner? You should be able to live alone. If you recently got divorced? Ditto. But this particular issue is hardest on aromatics, because while anyone may want to live alone, most alloromantic people will consider that kind of living arrangement temporary. When people call this systematic arophobia, it's because the issue disproportionately effects and targets people who intend to live alone forever. Marriage in the United States is subsidised. Literally. The tax benefits gained by being registered as married is a government subsidy to an amatonormative system that, while also hurting poly people, overwhelmingly hurts aromantics.

Marriage being a union between two people hurts polyam people. Marriage being financially beneficial hurts aromantics.

Non-partnering aros exist, and should be able to live in this world without having to pay more for lodging, food, and in taxes.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an aro/poly solidarity post before and I’m here for that unconventional team-up. :D  What I’m not here for are all the ways, big and small, that the world tries to tell us a relationship or a life needs to look like one particular kind of thing. There are so many beautiful paths to pursue happiness, on our own or together, and it’s aggravating when the ways are blocked and we’re all funneled through a common route that may not suit us. Let’s keep lifting each other up, reminding each other the things and people that bring us joy are valid, and supporting each other in our not necessarily one-size-fits-all lives.
