“assuming autistic people don’t know what things like sex and romance are is infantilizing and ableist” and “let asexual, aromantic, and aroace autistic people exist in peace” are two opinions that can coexist and some of you really need to Know

The idea that they can’t coexist also perpetuates the idea that because asexual and aromantic people don’t feel sexual or romantic attraction that they dont understand sex and romance which is also infantilizing and ace/arophobic

actually rb this version instead

people always talk about how the masses used to watch gladiator fights or public executions for fun, but we rarely discuss how people also went to human medical surgery’s for sport and entertainment, just showed up in a big tent and watched official operations, sometimes a flutist played music in the corner for it

like, “I’m not not dying of some random disease or having to work a 50 hour work day today, better go watch some dude get his leg sawed off in a science tent.”

what I’m saying is that it’s good we invented tv

Since once in a blue moon I actually discover a decent rule for adulting, and since I know I have followers a few years younger than me who are just entering the workforce, I want to tell you about a very important phrase. 

“I won’t be available.”

Imagine you’re at work and your boss asks you to come in on Saturday. Saturday is usually your day off–coming in Saturdays is not an obligation to keep your job. Maybe you were going to watch a movie with a friend, or maybe you were just going to lie in bed and eat ice cream for eight hours, but either way you really, really don’t want to give up your day off.

If you consider yourself a millennial you’ve probably been raised to believe you need to justify not being constantly at work. And if you’re a gen-Z kid you’re likely getting the same toxic messages that we did. So in a situation like that, you might be inclined to do one of three things:

  1. Tell your boss you’d rather not give up your day off. Cave when they pressure you to come in anyway, since you’re not doing anything important.
  2. Tell your boss you’d rather not give up your day off. Over-apologize and worry that you looked bad/unprofessional.
  3. Lie and say you’ve got a doctor’s appointment or some other activity that feels like an adequate justification for not working.

The fact is, it doesn’t matter to your boss whether you’re having open heart surgery or watching anime in your underwear on Saturday. The only thing that affects them is the fact that you won’t be at work. So telling them why you won’t be at work only gives them reason to try and pressure you to come in anyway.

If you say “I won’t be available,” giving no further information, you’d be surprised how often that’s enough. Be polite and sympathetic in your tone, maybe even say “sorry, but I won’t be available.” But don’t make an excuse. If your boss is a professional individual, they’ll accept that as a ‘no’ and try to find someone else. 

But bosses aren’t always professional. Sometimes they’re whiny little tyrants. So, what if they pressure you further? The answer is–politely and sympathetically give them no further information.

“Are you sure you’re not available?” “Sorry, but yes.”

“Why won’t you be available?” “I have a prior commitment.” (Which you do, even if it’s only to yourself.)

“What’s your prior commitment?” “Sorry, but that’s kind of personal.”

“Can you reschedule it?” “I’m afraid not. Maybe someone else can come in?”

If you don’t give them anything to work with, they can’t pressure you into going beyond your obligations as an employee. And when they realize that, they’ll also realize they have to find someone else to come in and move on.

IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!!

Just like with many other parts of life, learn to say ‘no’ to people. You are important. Don’t kill yourself for another person, esp. if they are your boss.

educational resources (eg museums) about prehistory as well as about modern creatures and ecology suffer greatly from forced hyper-masculinization of a few select creatures. this forces the “masculine” apex predators or otherwise “most dominant-est” animals into a narrow range of discussion (how STRONG were they, how much could they KILL) and ignores any available evidence that might conceivably seem “feminine” (eg, t. rex very possibly had feathers). similarly prehistoric creatures will sometimes disappear from frequent coverage when they are learned to be herbivorous (eg gastornis.) meanwhile all other non-apex animals, past and present, are hardly focused on at all, diminishing the communication of knowledge about their great ecological importance. in this essay I will

i can’t stop thinking about that video of the actor who voices gumball chasing down and murdering james charles in minecraft 

like honestly, it doesn’t matter what the fuck you achieve in your life. you will never be the 15-year old who killed james charles in minecraft. 

The “B” in LGBT stands for Bisexual, as in ALL BISEXUALS, not just sga ones.

Bisexual people that are only attracted to their “opposite gender” and nb people deserve to be in the community for a myriad of reasons:

1. They are showing that they respect nb people’s gender by not reducing them to their dgab or genitals (which is what everyone against this keeps doing).

2. Them being attracted to nb people does not mean they are only attracted to nb people with genitals of their “opposite sex”. As we all know, you can’t tell what genitals a person has 100% of the time and if that person is truly attracted to nb people, then genitals don’t matter.

3. There are nb bi people that don’t have a “same” or “similar” gender. Is their bisexuality any less valid because of this? I think not. (And yes, nb people are LGBT regardless because of being nb, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the validity of the different ways of being bisexual).

4. They suffer from biphobia regardless of “sga” because biphobia stems from being attracted to multiple genders first and foremost. If someone says biphobia actually stems from “sga” and is just a subset of homophobia, I’m gonna flip my shit because if that was the case, gay people couldn’t be biphobic. I’m sure pretty much every bi person has had a gay person be biphobic towards them before and it’s almost always some version of “you’re gonna leave me for/cheat on me with [insert “opposite sex” here]“ or they think that the bi person is tainted for having ever been with their “opposite sex”, which is strictly because of them being attracted to multiple genders and has nothing to do with “sga”.

5. The current most accepted definition of bisexuality is attraction to two or more genders. “Sga” is not currently part of the definition.

If you have a problem with this, then you’re essentially saying you don’t want nb people to be with people that want to respect and validate their gender. You want them to be with people that’ll continue calling themselves straight because they reduce them to their dgab and genitals and that is not a safe relationship for a nb person to be in.

The whole argument against this is essentially based on reducing nb people to their genitals and that can lead to misgendering, especially for non aligned nb people, and is generally disrespectful and essentialist. And don’t forget that terfs are the ones that reduce people to their genitals and you don’t wanna be like a terf, do you??

Another popular one, especially in wealthier families, was that your son would “move to Europe,” and then a few months later your “niece” would move into town and live in his old bedroom.

Trans isn’t new. We just have to know how to look for it in history.

Just as a reminder: the reason we don’t see a lot of trans history is because it was actively erased. Literally.

Germany had a thriving LGBTQ community in the early 20th century, before the Nazis came around. Germans, specifically Magus Hirshfeld, literally coined the term “transsexual” and performed the first modern SRS in the 1920’s. Then the Nazis came and sent them all to camps and burned their books. One of the first major Nazi book burnings was the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft. We were purposefully erased from history.

We’ve always existed, and the people that oppose our existence need to know who they’re in company with.
