#i will go outside in a tshirt at -6 #35 i have already evaporated #highest temp i've ever been in was i think 31 or 32 #and all i could do was lie on the floor and drink water #and that was a dry heat #35 with humidity im literally dead

I’m having a spirited debate and need a larger sample size

#i mean i'd probably go sock sock shoe shoe #but also this is almost never relevant bc i never go from bare foot to ready to go out #i hate not wearing socks my feet get cold and its distracting #so im always wearing socks #and then when i need to change my socks i have the new ones ready to go #so getting dressed to go out just involves putting shoes on

Even after all this time and awareness, it feels like asexuality is still not treated like a proper sexuality. Recently had a girl tell me that she was at a place where she ‘felt so asexual’ because all the other girls were so beautiful and guys were ignoring her because of it. She didn’t know I was asexual and I didn’t take offence (I know she didn't meant it in a malicious way) but it does feel uncomfortable that people are using ‘asexual’ in lieu of ‘unattractive' or 'lacking sexual appeal.' It's really giving 90's/early 2000's slang of using 'gay' to mean 'lame.' Even shows like Brooklyn 99 which took immense pride in being progressive with their comedy, had an episode where one of the characters says "Oh, and I'm sorry if we implied you're both asexual nerds who can only be friends with service animals."

I have mentioned this before also, when I talked about how I feel like people are more comfortable erasing the identities of canonical aro/ace characters in media but act like it's unacceptable with other sexualities... but it does feel like asexuality (and aromanticism tbh) are still not considered 'real' sexualities. In the case of shipping fictional characters, I understand there is nuance to that issue and so don't want to get into it, but it does kinda add to my point.

Why is it that people treat asexuality like it's not a sexuality? Why is it that when I come out to people I'm met with insistence that I'm wrong about my sexuality, that I'm 'self diagnosing' (it's not a medical condition), that I'm probably 'just inexperienced' or haven't 'met the right person' or have a hormone issue? Why can't people just accept that it's a sexuality like any other??

#for real #shipping a lesbian with a man is the height of offense here and you will be called homophobic for it (which fair) #but then shipping an aro or ace character in a very not aro or ace way is 'just let people have fun' #can we stop that

I think one of my biggest art pet peeve is when someone draws a fat person and their skull is twice the size of a normal human

#people are still following the head should be x amount of shoulders rule despite the fact that that only works for skeletons

#posts that made me look this guy up to see what others he'd done #i love his one for queen of the night i keep getting it stuck in my head

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

#3 but like. i wear almost exclusively dresses and skirts #the three are black hot pink and bright turquoise bc fashion purposes

#i mean there's a difference between having a drink and getting drunk #i've never been drunk bc i don't wanna be but my first drink i was like 10

Reblog for a larger sample size, if possible.

#can i combine some #i think the cloak would go great with the crop top and booty shorts #neither of these items are as powerful without the other

#like technically speaking its a plural #bc it comes from datum #however no one uses datum anymore #if they want to say a point of data they say a point of data #and thus it has become an uncountable noun

#i say i love you to everyone constantly #i don't consider it a big deep thing #i say i love you to classmates #so like. no time at all? #love is made more special when you pass it around not by keeping it secret #it wants to be shared #and you can let people know they are loved!

also like. selling your tv could pay your rent for a week or two. but then that time's over. and you still have rent to pay, you just have to pay it with no tv

people who say this don't realise that it's not the one off costs that keep people in poverty, it's the ongoing costs that your income isn't enough to surpass

the thing about the "um excuse me if you're as poor as you say you are why don't you just sell all your most treasured possessions" thing that people love to trot out as some kind of "gotcha" is that they do not acknowledge how fucking soul-crushing it is to be in a situation that is already destroying your mental health and then be forced to sell one of the few things in your life that still bring you joy
