My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

I CCAN'T BREATHE

being allowed to confuse people with their identities, and in fact, should be encouraged to confuse people even more

can someone clear me up on this? genuine question i wanna know for sure.

Personally, I identify as ace because I experience feelings that meet some subjective definitions of sexual attraction, but definitely don't meet the criteria of others, and rather than trying to decide which of those flawed definitions is most correct, I find the fact that I don't like having sex to be a lot more personally important to how I conceptualize my orientation. It frees me from having to agonize over what sexual attraction really is, when the concept is 95% irrelevant to me anyway. I don't know what being forced to define my sexual orientation based on attraction would do for me other than making me really annoyed about sexual attraction as a vague social construct, while impairing me from communicating any aspects of my relationship to sex that I actually find meaningful or relevant to my life. That's not quite the same as being an ace who experiences sexual attraction, since my whole view has been shaped by being in that gray area, but hopefully it gives you an idea of the problems with the attraction framework being mandatory instead of optional.

she is whittled entirely out of balsa wood with a craft knife, and colored with wood dye. the cabinet has miniature hinges made of tube beads and a metal rod, and closes with a magnet. she absolutely should hold a sentimental & important object, but i don't have any that are the correct size, so i just put in some cute trinkets.
