No but imagine being Paul Stamets star trek discovery. You’re gay. You’re severely blonde. You’re obsessed with mushrooms. All you want to do is study mushrooms but then next thing you know you’re at war…then your boyfriend dies…then your boyfriend comes back wrong…then you’re 930 years in the future…

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

everybody say thank you Marcus Aurelius

you’re capable of doing hard things, you have already accomplished a lot, and survived all your previous hardships and there is so much merit in that. I’m sorry things haven’t been easy, but you’re still capable of doing things even if they are difficult and the unknown feels scary. you are capable of doing difficult things.

going through the replies on tweets related to this and it’s crazy the number of replies that are trying to minimize or dismiss this. i think it’s a combo of sports betting industry-planted bots and also people who probably bet themselves, but please PLEASE remember that a gambling addiction (which all this shit is DEEPLY enabling of!!!) can totally fucking ruin your life!!!

health isn't a virtue.

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

I'm posting about this because as I am presented with sources within one of my classes about asexuality I see a complete lack of talk about pleasure and what it means within asexuality. There is this constant reaffirming of sex is what the allosexual partner wants (and the asexual partner is just doing it to make their allosexual partner happy) and it's deeply frustrating that we are defining sex around sexual attraction and not looking at the fact that sex should be defined around a whole range of things!

Where's that tweet about how American chants are "let's go [team name] and some other country (Irish?) fans are "I've made up a song about the other team's drinking problem to the tune of London Bridge Is Falling Down one two three"?
