the book is lying open, there are tales to be told

I feel like such an ass arguing that i think the popular gay ship in a fandom can totally just be friends. but im not doing it in a "they're cishet and queer people don't exist" way i just think we need to normalise that relationships don't define queerness. they're allowed to be aroace. they don't have to be boyfriends to be queer. please

and FUCK YOUR TRAIN

you people gotta get more respectful about disabled and fat people having a sexuality or being sexually desirable 🤷🏾‍♂️

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

Here’s an old aro meme from 2011, which was before the rise of the “Ace Discourse” around 2015 (which may have started out as backlash in response to The Trevor Project deciding to include asexual people around that time). This meme format uses an aardvark to represent aromantic people. At the time, axolotls were often used in similar memes to represent asexuals, so the aromantic aardvark was chosen as the aromantic equivalent of the asexual axolotl. Aardvarks were considered to be somewhat of a mascot for the aromantic community for some time, though they have become less popular as a symbol in recent years.

This reads like a museum guide showing one of the most prestigious pieces in an exhibit

a girl in the sense that i wanna be a genderless bug knight

A boy in a sense that I also wanna be a genderless bug knight

All gendered and non-gendered beings unite under the wish to be genderless bug knight

the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.

i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings
