if you identify as ace while still feeling sexual attraction sometimes your asexuality is valid! if you identify as ace while distancing yourself from the ace community your asexuality is valid!
if you identify as ace while having hypersexual intrusive thoughts your asexuality is valid! if you identify as ace for personal reasons such as trauma your asexuality is valid!
you do not have to adhere to the cishet ace community’s racist/ableist/transphobic/homophobic standards for your asexuality to be valid
wow ! sure is a good thing all aces are lgbt huh !
No matter how much you shame and scare them, women will still come for abortions. Pretty recently I had this young woman, 15 maybe, and we did the procedure. I said, ‘Your uterus is empty, the procedure is over. I have to go check to make sure we got everything,’ and I left the room to examine the tissue. Then I came back and told her, ‘Everything’s fine, your uterus is healthy.’ And she said, ‘So … when are you going to use the steel ball?’ I picked my jaw up off the floor and said, ‘Steel ball?’ She said, ‘Well, I went to the crisis pregnancy center and they told me you’re going to put a steel ball that’s covered with sharp blades into my uterus and twirl it around.’ And this kid still came! I was thinking, How did you ever make yourself walk in the office believing I was going to do that?

Sensitive souls don’t have it easy in this cruel world. They feel like their souls are getting trampled on in so many ways. That’s why you see their eyes light up when they can caress a face or an animal, or breathe in the scent of a flower.
from “Lonely Traveller Part 2”, by Sereno Sky (via briqou)
every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.
“women can’t drive”
It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.
“women never shut up”
Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.
“women are shallow”
Lol next
“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”
Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion
“women are too emotional”
Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.
I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.
“women are shallow” (just read the book, Dataclysm. by okcupid founder (?) that includes data about sex, gender, race, in finding online romantic partners)
basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body.
that’s basically fine.
if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out.
unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.
We’ve all seen a lot of posts telling us we need to comment/kudos/reblog/love our fanfic authors or they will stop writing. I know, I’ve shared them.
But those posts never talk about what you, as a reader, get out of it. So here are my entirely selfish reasons that you should engage with fanfic (writers) that you love:
1. Free, quality content on your blog in the time it takes to smash reblog.
2. It’s good for you: people who “practice gratitude consistently report” higher levels of happiness, lower blood pressure, feel less lonely and other good shit.(x)
3. It’s not just writers who read those comments and reviews, you might find yourself a flail buddy. It just feels good to say “this is the BEST” and have someone else say, “I know, right?!”
4. The actual author might respond to your comments, follow you, start chatting to you or publicly thank you for encouraging them to write more.
5. If you start putting out fic rec lists, people might come to you asking for more recommendations. Who doesn’t like to feel like their thoughts and opinions matter?
6. Get so inspired you have to make art for a fic? Writers looove that – you could find they say thanks, share your art, use it as their header (on their blog or fic – seeing your picset at the top of a fic you love is just jandjdjbdudndj) or write you a fic.
7. And, of course, you’ll make a writer happy. And happy writers write more fic. Even if they never, ever engage with you, just knowing you’re there reading and caring means you get more fic to read.
8. All the ways we have of showing writers some love makes you a part of something. Fandom can be weird and wonderful, and at times utterly mental. But being in the club feels pretty damn great.
