Oh hai Mark

I don't know if I will ever feel comfortable coming out as aroace, despite being comfortably aroace. The other day someone asked me if I was queer and I felt so uncomfortable saying yes, because even if it is true, I knew it was still painting the wrong picture in this persons mind. And throughout the rest of the evening it was obvious they thought I was bi but I couldn't correct them because it's not an easy "oh I'm not X I'm Y", it's a whole new conversation: opening yourself up to uncomfortable and invasive questions, opening yourself up to the other persons astonishment and bafflement which just makes you feel more othered, opening yourself up to being hurt by casual assumptions and dismissive comments or just plain awkward silence. and usually it ends with the feeling that you didn't do enough to paint the right picture, to explain everything in a way that leaves no false impressions, that you didn't find the right words to make them truly understand you. despite such understanding taking years and years of work. It's so frustrating!

The 11th emoji in your history is now your cutie mark 👁️

Honestly props to my art teacher for giving the option to use wire, encouraging me to use the small wire for the fingers, giving me the option to use spray paint, and just generally being cool.

Fun fact, this is pretty much how I met my own Shiny Alpha Hisuian Zoroark (that's a mouthful) named Blood Hunter, in a Zorua massive mass outbreak. It remians my favorite shiny form of all time, and my second favorite pokemon (would probably be first but Serperior and I have been riding together for too long for me to admit it).

Fun Fact: the primary victims of the Vietnam War were not the American soldiers, but the 3 million Vietnamese civilians

Similarly, if Trump sends troops to Iran (which is seeming likely) you need to understand that these people chose to go and kill civilians, the primary victims of American Imperialism are the ones who we wage war on

the secondary vitims will be all the soldiers that either come back dead, wounded, or fucked up severely, on either side.

And if any of them realize they're wrong, they have to live with that. Like it's very possible to support someone that has realized they fucked up morally while not absolving them. You can show empathy without forgiveness. A war criminal is a war criminal no matter how bad they feel about it.
