I can only say this: I'll stop hating everyone who didn't vote against Trump when their actions stop having consequences and when they stop lying that things would've been no different under Harris. So...never

anyway:

Non aro and non aces need to know its okay to break structure and not get married or have kids even if they do want to date and/or have sex

They need to know just as much as any aro or ace person that they are not required to live a certain way just because they are allo. allo doesnt mean okay with patriarchy standards.

This is a parasite that usually causes about 3000 cases of illness per year in the USA, Michigan currently has reported about 2900 (the confusion about “Michigan outbreak” is because Michigan is the first that caught an uptick in cases and has been very proactive about trying to trace them). Last official update from Massachusetts was 18 cases here centered in Greater Boston. The CDC recommends NOT assuming there are no sources of the parasite in your state even if no cases have been reported.

It isn’t an unknown illness but it is an unusual quantity of cases, and the fact that they haven’t been able to pin down the source after weeks of tracking is what makes it particularly concerning this year (harder to contain).

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

because to hear even Tumblr the "gay gender website" talk people only wear harnesses while strapped into a sex swing while being fisted

but the reality is that the harness, both leather and spandex, in gay male world is like stiletto pumps, a bright red lip stick, a short skirt or push up bra.

sure some people are wearing those things because they're about to get laid or hoping to. But lots of people wear them just to feel sexy, confident or powerful. And there's nothing X rated and "shouldn't be seen in public" about any of that.

lots of gay guys wear harnesses to bars or clubs not because its a sex thing, but because its a sexy thing, they feel attractive and confident.

I get that gay men feeling attractive and confident terrifies people, but if you're at Pride and a guy walks past you in jeans and a harness, either shirtless or over his shirt, he didn't violate your civil rights or do a sex thing in front of you, he's wearing a totally appropriate outside that makes him feel confident and powerful.

I never wanna hear people say "AI Should be diagnosing cancer ever again".

So radiologists are becoming less able to judge the cases the AI won't judge, which are the ones that would harm its accuracy rating the most, less able to offer that magic touch (final human check) that keeps AI detecting cancer well with few false positives, and much slower, to boot.

Anyways. I think befriending people who are not like you but who are in close proximity to you is important for the bonsai kitten within you. You will learn to be less scared when you know the people around you better. Idk where this is coming from ur just the bonsai kitten person and I think youd like the mental image of me taking myself to someone's yard like a cat in a harness

yesssss I love this. i am literally JUST starting to be brave and venture into this again after several years of retreating to "never interact with strangers or try to join any communities, it isn't safe" brain following significant relational trauma from the last time I tried to venture out into a community space (dogs, lol) and its taken me years! to get to this point

i feel like sometimes ppl think that bc I say this is important I'm also saying it's easy. its not easy!!!! it's really hard!!!!! you can't control other people's behavior! you're inherently giving up some control by giving other ppl the power to potentially hurt you quite badly! it is not easy! but there's ways to do it casually where intimacy is built up over time based on repeated interactions. this is often antithetical to the way some of us have gotten into communities and relationships, where we jump right in with everything we have right away. that method has not served me super well tbh bc it means stuff is inherently volatile and also that I'm putting a lot of trust in people who I objectively do not know very well and don't have that built up Information of repeated low stakes interactions.

Polynesians did also rely on a form of a physical map called a stick chart, illustrating the specific wave and swell patterns surrounding different island chains. These were particularly helpful during cloudy conditions when the sun and stars were less useful. To navigate the Marshall Islands, the Marshallese represented ocean swell patterns using parts of coconut fronds and shells as islands. Like a subway map, they don’t so much represent distances as they do relationships. The complex and decorative stick charts were often only understood by the person who made them. They were memorised before a voyage by the pilot who would lie on the floor of a canoe to get a sense of swell movement and often lead a squadron of 15 or more boats.
