no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

I’m sure this will hit the news soon but just in case it’s not out yet — the Governor of Maryland just signed an executive order tonight declaring Maryland a sanctuary state for trans people seeking gender-affirming care, and for all people who provide such care or help trans people access such care. This executive order includes an explicit refusal to cooperate with law enforcement/prosecutors in any other state where accessing, providing, or helping people access such care is now or will soon be criminalized.
Yes it is absolutely a privilege to be able to travel or to think about moving but if someone can access the resources to move or visit to get what they need to survive and be less likely to be actively targeted for LITERAL EUGENICS AND GENOCIDE, then they should and we should support them.
Please spread the word.

i know they still exist but the way online asexual communities were decimated makes me so upset. it makes me wonder how many baby aces today know about the black ring, the cake thing, or the card suits. i wonder if the harassment is part of why there's so many acespec microlabels that mean virtually the same thing.
not that there's anything wrong with coining similar terms. im so glad they made language and pride symbols to express themselves. i just miss the online ace communities of the past. there are no words to describe how we gave our experiences names. we talked about the trauma and abuse aces face. we talked about how we're not broken, and started to respect and care for ourselves. and our friends.
we began to feel empowered, only to have bigots crush us down with ridicule, exclusion, suicide baiting, and so much more. and some of those bigots were other queer people. they were meant to be our peers. it's awful, and it makes me worried for all the other kinds of queers facing that kind of thing now.
to anyone facing online harassment and abuse for being queer: they are wrong. they will always be wrong. you deserve to exist and be happy just as you are. you are so, so beautifully queer. don't dim your light. stick with your friends. keep talking. don't shut up, especially not for people who don't care about you.

Positives of being on the aro/ace spectrums:
More time to play video games
You can have whatever you want for dinner
You can adopt as many pets as you like
Have more time to hang out with friends
Negatives of being on the aro/ace spectrums:
The responsibility of keeping the mothership intact

The aromantic childhood experience of choosing someone to have crush on because everyone around you has a crush and you think it's just something you need to do like a task so you choose a person sometimes at random and sometimes just because they're nice to you and not realising this is not how crushes work.

demiromantic asexual culture is struggling to date not only because you have a hard time feeling romantic attraction right away, but also because you don't know if sex is an important part of the person's relationships or not (and it's weird to ask right away, right?)
Oh man, I totally get that one. Best of luck to you, anon!

demiromantic culture is impulse buying a pride flag and your family asks which one it is. "it's the picky-about-romance one" bc they don't really know the terms

Hello, this 'culture-is' blog is for my Black people to share and express themselves regarding their Blackness. A safe space for Black Folks. Simple as that.
Start off the asks with "Black culture is" and variants such as "queer Black culture is" and the etc. (You can use the term 'Blk' instead of Black if you want to as well)
Do Not Interact (DNI): Anti-Black / Racists to POC (why tf is u here in the first place ? 💀), Believe you can be racist to yt people in form, Homo / Transphobic, Ableists, TERFs / SWERFs, Consider yourself "Transracial" (Regarding wanting to be/transition into a race you are bodily not) I'll just block / delete ask if I see sumn I don't fw.
Anyone who is Black (Biracials, Black Africans, Afro-Caribbeans, African Americans) can interact and send asks in. I'm not excluding any Black person no matter ethic or nationality. I'm simply not that type of person.
The moderator is obviously Black (African American). I am queer & gnc, ND. Use they/them if you refer to me.
I am gonna try @ing some accounts I got inspo from and just see if they can/would boost this. I have no other clue how to boost 💀
(Feel no pressure to boost, yall do not have to.)

I made a couple of flow charts for the ace and aro spectrums! Not meant to be taken 100% factual- you know yourself better than a basic flowchart. They’re mainly just for fun, though they can also be a good start for anyone questioning!

Welcome to Aplatonic Culture is...
Inspired by @queercutlureis, @demiromantic-culture-is, @ace-culture-is, and the abundance of other related blogs, I have decided to make my own culture blog!
This blog is run by @fritz-is-bipolar, and my pronouns are they/them!
Feel free to submit asks, as they are always open! I will also do my best to answer any questions anyone has! Apl-spec related questions can be submitted to this blog, and any other questions may be sent to my main!

demiro culture is instinctively saying ew when two characters kiss on screen but realizing that its a gay kiss and that none of your family members were bothered by your accidental homophobia :|
:( im sorry dude

what if I told you that
"aromantic and asexual are two separate identities and grouping them together/conflating the two only further propagates stigma and misinformation about both"
and
"asexuality and aromanticism have faced many of the same struggles when it comes to rights, representation, and visibility, and that's one of the reasons it's so important that we stand up for each other"
and
"for some people, their own lack of romantic attraction and lack of sexual attraction are intrinsically linked, and it's important that those people feel included in all aspec spaces because they are an important part of our community"
are all ideas that can and must coexist

Hi! So I recently realised I am demiromantic but I don’t know whether or not I’m demisexual or asexual as the last time i was romatically interested in someone (who isn’t fiction) was when i was 16 and i never had any kind of sexual intercourse with them and the few times i’ve had it in the decade since i was 16, i haven’t enjoyed it or been into it but maybe i would with someone i actually liked romantically. On the demiromantic spectrum i would say i’m probably really close to aromantic as so very rarely am i ever interested in someone romantically (that is not fictional lol) i’ve only ever been interested in 2 people romantically and they were both in my teens and its been a decade since then so i don’t really know if it was something that was teen hormonal based or not? Basically i’ve just recently been exposed to the demi/ace spectrum and am trying to figure myself out, would appreciate some advice if you have any
honestly? don't put so much pressure on it <3
it's ok if you ID as asexual now and that ends up changing! it's ok if you don't want labels for sure at all rn.
identify as whatever makes you comfortable and happy. unfortunately, because i dont know your situation and feelings exactly, this is the advice i can give right now
good luck!!! if you have more questions you can absolutely feel free to go to @qandgay !! (ofc you can ask them here too <3 q and gay just does more general stuff as well!)
