My Mind Exploded Onto The Internet

Hi, I'm Gnot. He/Him pronouns. Black Lives Matter, ALWAYS. me: grey-aroace, bi/pan, genderqueer, autistic, trans, polyam, parent, chronic pain sufferer, born 1989, UK based, white, perisex. Lover of orange. I have a strong sense of identity and it's something to do with spreadsheets :: Icon by "fennethianell" :: ~ Art Blog = @gnot-art ~

i think a lot of people hear the word ‘roadrunner’ and associate it immediately with the looney tunes character but uh. real roadrunners actually manage to look even stranger than the cartoon?

We have a ton of them where I live and they are basically the closest you’ll ever get to seeing a live velociraptor.

Y'all wanna know something fucked up? Some of those posts from conservative "trad" women kinda turn me on. Especially when they're talking about how Real Men should act. It's hot knowing they look at me and see a queer, androgynous man, probably assuming I'm gay or impotent. It's hot knowing that they don't even think I'm a real man, yet I fuck better than their shitty trad husbands ever could, and they have no idea. It's so fucking hot knowing that if I just got under those long floral skirts for a few minutes that I could make them see God.

Ah, they have no idea what they don't know, and that is just thrilling to me.

I'm definitely at a weird stage in my life that I'm evolving through. I'm like having a proper second social puberty.

Retro Style Pride Flag Shirts from Sabor a Libertad

No 💕

These shirts are not from the target pride collection. These are designed and made by a small queer owned indie business. If they made them any cheaper they wouldn’t be paid fairly for their work and costs would need to be cut somewhere meaning the actual shirt would be made less ethically.

Also. 45 dollars for a shirt is pretty affordable.

If items like this aren’t affordable to you right now, that’s fine and I’m sorry you’re in that situation. I have very much been there. But ffs stop putting shit like this on posts.

It’s pride. How ‘bout y’all actually support some queer owned businesses this month yeah?

Me: *mentions my age in public*
Person A: you're my dad now
Person B: *announcing the oldest person they date and making it clear this does not reach my age bracket*
Person C: *mansplain me queer identities like I haven't existed an entire life of being queer before they were in school*

Pls guys I'm just vibing drinking listening to music. Lemme just have a nice night.

Zuckerberg is in such better shape than Musk, and is trained in combat sports. This will be humiliating if Elon shows up

I think the rich should engage in bloodsport for the entertainment of the masses more often. Let's get Kissinger and Cheney into a ladder match.

“What News Story Are They Burying?”

Reminder that if a billionaire CEO does something outrageous in the news, this should always be your first question.

Today that news story is that Meta, Zuckerberg’s company, is blocking all news content in Canada for Facebook and Instagram due to a new law requiring compensation to news publishers. Facebook is using its vast resources to apply public pressure to stop the laws of a foreign government and protect its profit margins. And they are getting sued by Malaysia.

Some internet language things I really like:

  • Phrases like “that’s certainly a thing”, “it’s so shaped”, or “one of the most animals” (is there a name for this?)
  • when people write with little to no punctuation like they are just so done
  • More specifically, asking questions without punctuation i.e. ‘what’ or ‘why’. It’s like, you want to know but also you are resigned to the answer?
  • When people capitalise The Thing for emphasis - particularly if they add a trademark symbol to really drive The Point™ home
  • How we use both bold and italic text for emphasis, but they convey it in different ways and I can’t quite explain how
  • Responding to things exclusively with punctuation, because sometimes words fail you and all you can say is !!!

i think names are such a delicate thing and we dont say each other's names enough bc why else does it strike such a chord in me when ppl say my name as if i actually exist

Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like "hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*" while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.

Which isn't to say that I don't like it. But I definitely find myself going "maybe I shouldn't reblog this because I've already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don't want to look like I don't have a life," I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.

A person does not need to love you (romantically/platonically/familially) in order to;

  • Perfom loving actions towards you
  • Respect your boundaries
  • Listen to you
  • Care about your feelings
  • Want to spend time with you

Just because someone is arospec doesn't mean they are forcing themselves to do these things, and it doesn't mean that we are doing these things for some ulterior motive. We have the desire to be nice to people without love!

ADDITIONALLY I'm sick of hearing allo people in generally shit or abusive relationships and telling me genuinely upsetting stuff and then shrugging it off with "he does love me though". Literally. It does not matter. You deserve to be treated with kindness. Love does not act as a substitute to basic respect.
