You can only reblog this today.

"Aro/ace people can still date" is a statement about aro and ace people being able to do whatever they want with their lives, NOT an excuse to ignore a character's aromanticism and/or asexuality so you can ship them.

REBLOG IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR AROMANTIC PEOPLE AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE VALID

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it

[carawayshalldie]

Wanting to off myself because I lack purpose and am not strong enough to be a functional member of society is such a first world problem fr

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

Reblog if you want your followers to anonymously ask you one thing they want to know about you.

embracing the patterned ambiguity of gender and sex as more or less social constructs can grant you so much more precision in thinking about so many concepts in science.

like, if there was a study (and I'm just making this up as an example) showing women suffer from mosquito bites more than men do

you could do the ~"Gender Critical"~ thing and go "see!? mosquitoes get it!!"

OR

you could go "that's interesting" and start asking more questions, like:

is this data self-reported? controlled?

were they studying the women or the mosquitoes?

did the study use methods that would let you tell the difference between "being bitten more often" and "noticing bites more often"?

did the study include any trans people and were their results any different? if yes were they on HRT or not?

how similar were the men and women in aspects other than gender? do we know their social class, jobs, diets, blood types?

because in fact the study i made up just then could lead to a huge variety of conclusions. from my description above you can't tell the difference between studies that show:

mosquitoes are attracted to people with higher estrogen levels

mosquitoes are opportunistic and women spend more time near mosquito habitats for sociocultural reasons

every gender gets bitten about the same amount but men are socialised to pay less attention to physical discomfort so more of them don't notice minor bites compared to women (and by more we mean like 60-40, this is a bell curve thing)

we accidentally got heaps of women in the study that have the mosquito's favourite blood type and not so for the men, oops

mosquitoes are attracted to people with more x and y in their diets, which is currently mostly women for, again, largely sociocultural reasons

etc etc etc

you're just not going to understand actual Gender Science, and therefore reality, if you can't put "hmm, but what do they mean by woman this time" in your mental toolkit in a relatively neutral way.

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

[carawayshalldie]

Yes, I will tell you that I love you.

Yes, I am on the aro spectrum.

Yes, you are precious to me and I cherish you.

None of these things contradict each other.

Btw, on valentines day im holding everyone under the arospec and acespecs hands and we’re all gonna sit in the circle and infodump while drinking hot cocoa and eating chicken noodle soup

#thank you #sounds really nice #the newspaper i'm working for is making me do a story on love herbs and such and i'm not even allowed to say that that is bullshit #like no.1 it doesn't work and no.2 if it did it would be super unethical #but my stupid boss doesn't give a damn she just wants a 'nice sweet romantic story for Valentine's day'

*person has consented to being eaten; they’ve donated their body. they died without suffering. you can cook the meat. you will not get sick from the meat.

bonus: explain why!

#no #i dont eat meat #it gives me the ick #doesn't matter if it's an animal corpse or a human corpse
