Hey I really wanna tell you that I'm in love with you and I know this is super random but I feel like I'm literally gonna explode if I don't tell you this so yeah I'm sorry but I'm in love with you Hey wanna hang out?
I’ve been out as a lesbian to this group of friends (some online-friends I made at the start of quarantine) since I met them. At the time, I thought it was the truth. I mean, I’ve known I’m ace for a while, but I thought I was still alloro. But that’s beside the point. Most of the people in this group are queer. Lots of trans gals and bi’s and lesbians. But I’m the only aspec person, period. No other aces, no other aros. I’ve been questioning for a bit about being aro. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’m demi, but I feel romantic attraction so rarely that terms like aro/grayro sound useful for the sake of conversation. I was trying to explain my feelings (a kind of coming-out-lite, I guess) to this friend group. I recounted how teenagers are in love with the idea of love, and my own constructed relationship with the concept. I wanted so badly to love, to have a relationship, to be important in that magical way everyone says love makes you. I’d form “crushes” for the sake of having someone to imagine and talk about in regards to relationships. I was told everyone does this (which is true to some extent). I told them it was the case for every single crush I’ve ever had, save one, that one being the only time I think I’ve ever felt real attraction. I said something along the lines of “I feel some kind of disconnect to romance” and the response I got was “if you want romance, you’ll find it.” That wasn’t my point. I wasn’t saying that I’m struggling to find romance. Plenty of people have confessed feelings for me. I could be dating right now if I wanted to. I was saying that I don’t care about it, that it’s not something I feel. I tried to clarify this. I was still dismissed. Since then, I haven’t really talked about being aro with them. They keep making off-handed remarks about me being a lesbian. It’s a label I still like and use to some extent, but the way they’re using it around and for me feels less like the casual thing it once was and more like they’re ignoring my newer, more accurate identity. I feel so invisible. They’re not bigoted and not mean and would never harm me intentionally. They’re ignorant in the most innocent way. I try to talk to them and the words fly past them or are twisted into something else. Aspec language and experiences are so rare that I feel like I’d have to write a whole essay for my fellow queers to catch a small gleam of understanding.
Telling aromantic people that just haven’t met the right person yet is, of course, very arophobic and offensive in general, but it’s also a line of thinking that just doesn’t work.
Because alloromantics don’t need to meet “the right one” to experience romantic attraction. Their first crush when they were 12 was just a little crush. So was the classmate they spent two months pining after when they were 14. They surely felt something for the first person they dated, for a total of three weeks before breaking up, even if they were never in love with them. They might dump someone after two dates realizing it was not going to work, but there was that little something there that made them think it was worth trying to date that person. Maybe an alloromantic person will fall in love for the first time when they are 30 years old, because they finally met “the right one” - but before meeting that person they likely spent years having crushes and small relationships and short lived infatuations.
Maybe I will also fall deeply in love with someone when I will be 30. Maybe. But in the first 29 years of my life, I would have felt nothing. No romantic attraction, no crushes, nothing at all. If I do end up one day meeting the one and only person in this world who will make me experience romantic attraction, I will not become alloromantic. Maybe I’ll start calling myself grey-romantic, but I will still be on the aromantic spectrum, just in a different place than where I thought I was. One single occasion of romantic attraction does not erase all those years in which there was none.
aro culture is being confused when some people describe their romantic partners as their best friend. like… i get it… think? a best friend provides trust, compassion, support, and is fun to talk to and be with. like these are neutral things i’d associate with other relationships too like for example familial love. but then… what IS romantic attraction? if your romantic partner is your best friend then what’s the difference? its not simply the presence of sex. is it ownership of some sort? but friends can get jealous too. please im so confused. whats the secret ingredient?? poseidon powder?
one of the top ten Aro Experiences ™: being very touch-starved while also feeling like a small, bitey animal that’s been poorly socialized and has like a 50/50 chance of reacting badly to physical affection

HEY EVERYBODY!
People are deliberately starting fires in the amazon rainforest to illegally deforest indigenous land for cattle ranching and the president of Brazil comes today and says that this is work from NGOs, listen what a indigenous woman have to say, from the tribe Pataxó:
Pataxó woman:
“These assholes came in and burned down [our reservation]... I want all of the media here to see this”
For 2 years we’ve fought to preserve [our reservation] & these assholes came in & burned it down.
They are killing our rivers, our sources of life, & now they have set our reserve on fire. Tomorrow we are closing the roads & I want all the media here to see this.
We need action, we need now, we need to take those ones to justice and take President Jair Bolsonaro to respond to this too, we need people to wake up that being a conservative it's not the same as being a stupid retrograde
Indigenous people, animals and nature are screaming in pain for help

A while back I heard my friend (male) insult another dude by saying, “You look like the kind of guy who wouldn’t go to Wal-Mart to buy his girlfriend a box of tampons” and I still think about that crowning insult sometimes
My dad once called another guy “someone who thinks loading the dishwasher once in a while makes him less of a man”
I like your dad already
one time my dad’s boss was giving him shit for always leaving work early so he could get home and help my mom with me when i was a newborn and his boss said “i’ve never changed a diaper in my life” really proudly and my dad responded “i’d be ashamed to ever admit i was that worthless of a husband”
oh WOW
This is by far my most popular post.
Please unmute this
I urge everyone I know to watch this. omfg
There is no argument, this scene is the best thing that infinity war has given us

The only acceptable reason for this is if this character is actually a demon who seduces men and then eats them. [source]

my breasts are nicely separated. Completely divided, every year they move apart by half an inch.
My breasts are nicely separated though they still fight for custody of the children.

That was difficult to read.
So ugly
My name is Ebony D'arkness Dementia Raven Way, and my breasts are nicely separated
OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT AND HOW ON EARTH DID IT GET PUBLISHED
You can always tell when it’s a man writing a description because they focus oddly on the breasts. There will always be something about breasts and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read historical or fantasy fiction and they talk about “her breasts hanging freely under her tunic” or what the fuck ever and it’s like…women don’t do that? We don’t describe ourselves by saying “I have blonde hair and blue eyes and my breasts hang freely under my tunic”. I kind of feel like we should counter by awkwardly mentioning all male character’s balls in their description. It’s kind of in the same vein.
“I have auburn hair and hazel eyes and my copious nicely separated balls hangs freely under my breeches”
