I need. Adult sized playgrounds. I did rock climbing for a bit until I got injured and chalk gives me sensory ick anyway, I did trampolining as a kid, but that's not enough really its not the same its too Sports coded. I need to go to a big softplay and run around with my friends and get into social bonding fights with other people there. I need to go play on the swings. I think it would be good for society generally if there wasn't a cutoff age on Going To Play on the proprioceptive stimming machines and hurtling benevolently and haphazardly into things. Running around used to be so Fun. I don't wanna do rock climbing again even a fraction as much as I want a jungle gym yken? I don't wanna swim laps I wanna play on the big floating inflatable obstacle courses and go down the flumes and it's much harder to do that as an adult
“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

Note the date, people:
That’s 1972
29 years before AVEN was started online,
and 47 years before the present.
And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.
So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

The next design that's appropriate for tumblr is this one, there's a long run of designs that are too sexy. I think it was maybe the first design I finished. Aint they cute? Would you give it a spin?

Every day I learn about a new Twitch Guy I've never heard of before in my life who is apparently the Most Popular Man Ever and capable of creating minor sociological phenomenon at a whim
my friend just got back from a trip to Scotland and the first thing they texted me was complaining about how you have to give pornhub your photo id before you can view the site in arkansas
You what
this is what pops up if you visit the site
It's honestly kind of jarring being one of only two queer people at my job, because sometimes I'll see people who are obviously, visibly, unabashedly queer and mention it to one of my non-queer coworkers and they're like "why does it matter?" or "i don't care if someone is gay or straight or whatever" or "okay, and?" What they don't seem to understand is that I'm not being judgy when I point it out. That's nothing but queer joy babey.
A trans boy who's experimenting with hair dye and oversized hoodies and new names and has currently settled on a video game character? We love to see it.
A gay elder who has never explicitly told me that he's gay, but wears rainbows all the time, has a little pride pin on his hat, paints his nails, and mentions his gender-neutral "beloved" who loves Rocky Horror and Priscilla Queen of the Desert? Makes me want to cry from sheer happiness.
A woman and her daughter coming in to get library cards, and when I asked how many she'd like on her family account, she replies "three, for me, my daughter, and my wife"? Catch me trying not to burst with euphoric squealing at the circulation desk.
When I point these people out, it's because I'm happy to see them! I'm glad these people can live authentically and contentedly and that we can run into each other. I"m glad there are closeted people who can see the visibly queer folks and maybe get that little extra bit of confidence to live the way they want. I'm glad we don't have to hide!
Basically, I live and breathe that panel from Fun Home.
my favorite meme of jesus is the edit of kramskoi's "christ in the desert" where he is smoking a cig. yeah. that's a good one.
live jesus reaction to me being a fucking idiot every day
Well, I'm sold.
I keep watching all of these things that are supposed to turn me gay and so far the only tingle was when Captain America bicep-curled a helicopter.
I'll keep trying I guess.
listen i know each actor brings their own spice to a role, but i just can’t take timothee chalamet’s wonka seriously
where is the madness behind his eyes??? the malice??? the complete disregard for the laws of mankind and decency???
this man makes me fear that i’ll be shoved into a taffy machine at the slightest provocation

I’m not gonna let this gem of a tag on this post go unnoticed.
