“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

“project hail mary (2026) using an orange-yellow-blue color palette in the majority of its lighting, set design, and wardrobe (except for the detour to the green planet with a purple aurora) is an intentional choice potentially based on the colors of the aroace (and aro and ace) flag(s) which may have been made in part because someone on the production staff realized that a story about a guy whose life is considered lesser explicitly because his relationships do not follow an amatonormative hierarchy, structured specifically to show that it is NOT romance which brings out the best in him but the love of/for a friend who similarly forgoes amatonormative expectations, and who is shown to be happy and fulfilled at the end for that very reason might be extremely resonant with aroaces” is a sentence which makes you sound like an insane person until you realize that project hail mary (2026) is a lord & miller production and those are the same guys who did this

so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

Yours has better makeup than mine, but have you considered using the one hair set?

rocky: im not a scientist, im like the least qualified person on this ship, the only reason i survived while the actual scientists died was pure dumb luck :(

meanwhile grace is like: im a coward, im selfish, i put myself over the entire world, im not brave

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.
