this man has no right to make me feel these things with just a bunch of words

A Dumb Experiment

Break open your personal self

to taste the story of the nutmeat soul.

These voices come from that

rattling against the outer shell.

The nut and the oil inside

have voices that can only be heard

with another kind of listening.

If it weren’t for the sweetness of the nut,

the inner talking, who would ever shake a walnut?

We listen to words

so we can silently

reach into the other.

Let the ear and mouth get quiet,

so this taste can come to the lip.

Too long we’ve been saying poetry,

talking discourses, explaining the mystery

outloud. Let’s try a dumb experiment.

Father Reason

The universe is a form of divine law,

your reasonable father.

When you feel ungrateful to him,

the shapes of the world seem mean and ugly.

Make peace with that father, the elegant patterning,

and every experience will fill with immediacy.

Because I love this, I am never bored.

Beauty constantly wells up, a noise of springwater

in my ear and in my inner being.

Tree limbs rise and fall like the ecstatic arms

of those who have submitted to the mystical life.

Leaf sounds talk together like poets making fresh metaphors. The green felt cover slips,

and we get a flash of the mirror underneath.

Think of how it will be when the whole thing

is pulled away! I tell only one one-thousanth

of what I see, because there’s so much doubt everywhere.

The conventional opinion of this poetry is,

it shows great optimism for the future.

But Father Reason says,

No need to announce the future!

This now is it. This. Your deepest need and desire

is satisfied by the moment’s energy

here in your hand.

of all the good reasons to have an ace headcanon for him, why would you land on this

#not maintagging this #and I wish I could say this was a singular instance #but sadly it isn't #people can be uninterested in sex without being reduced to children or having their intelligence insulted #not even mentioning that a-spectrum experience is so varied in general #the two sides of terrible asexual generalisation: unfeeling robots and children #if you say someone is too dumb or emotionally immature to understand sex #you imply that if they just grew up a little or learned a bit more they would change their mind #ace people get that kind of patronising enough we don't need the call to come from inside the house as well

Things I have learned from a year long experiment:

Spotify tracking starts on January 1st

Spotify will track the songs you're listening to even if they're on mute

Spotify never questions why you're obsessively looping Turn To Stone and literally nothing else for four months

The more often you have music playing the less often Spotify sends you notifications

If you do this, you will fuck up all blends you make because you will contribute exactly one fucking song

Your friends who like music more than you will (rightly) call you insane

Running something with the sole purpose of looping a song 24/7 is, unsurprisingly, expensive, and likely one of the factors that broke my old PC

Imagine Dragons will send you a Cameo to say thanks for the silver medal, and Spotify will not drag Jeff Lynne kicking and screaming away from retirement to personally thank me for the between $83.86 and $139.78 I earned him (assuming Spotify pays between 0.003 and 0.005 per stream)

This is how many times I played Turn to Stone.

Finally, I learned that your friends will not find this an even remotely amusing joke and most of them will either think you're mentally unwell for doing this (true) or will violently not care about your obsession with a band you know two songs from

I'm never doing this again

There is an astonishingly bad habit in our online demographic for laymen to offer unsolicited, incorrect advice on how to do activism with complete confidence and authority despite it clearly being some made-up shit they thought sounded right.

#‘how to gentle a police horse’ don’t fucking do that #’how to triage a wound with tampons’ don’t fucking do that #’using cash during a general strike counts less’ that’s dumb #Harm reduction actually requires an insane amount of skill and is usually preceded by years of unpaid thankless volunteering experience. #but yeah i’m joe tumblr user and i’ve got something of value to offer (shit i made up) #dis.txt

A reminder that 1) asexuality and aromanticism are spectra, there isn't an allo/a binary, and 2) the repulsed/favourible spectrum isn't reserved for the use of aspec people. It is possible to be allosexual and be sex averse or alloromantic and romance repulsed. "Attraction doesn't necessarily mean action" also applies to allos and I wish that was more widely accepted because it would save a lot of allos a lot of hassle. I just didn't expect to have to point either of these put to the aspec community

#this is in response to a dumb 'chart of aspec experiences' that didn't account for either of these #vent #aro #ace #arospec #acespec #aromantic #asexual #aspec #like according to that chart because I'm not ace I'd probably have to use the allosexual square when I'm not allo either #this is also what gets me about the aspec community sometimes. they forget that non-sam aros exist too #panda's post

been playing the metal gear collection for the first time this week

#metal gear solid #mgs #psycho mantis #my art #comics #I’m obsessed with making these dumb little comics of stuff I talk about with my bestie on FaceTime while playing #or stuff that happened to me while playing. I made a comic earlier on paper about my experience with the nikita missile volt switch area

I’ve never had girldick before, if only there was a really pretty trans girl willing to show me how to play with one (wink wink wink)
