It Says It Loves

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

something i’ve been thinking abt a lot recently is how the whole “in the eyes of the state” thing is almost like. it’s just there to say “social oppression isn’t as important as legal/governmental oppression” isn’t it. like the insistence on not actually listening to transfeminists on topics like intercommunity violence and exclusion is sort of hand waved away bc these people aren’t “the state” they’re like your neighbors. which somehow makes it okay?

The touch starved asexual lesbian would like to sleep with you (in the literal sense)

The indian burial ground trope is weird cause it's like. Obviously the horror is white people being haunted by their own sins, right. The colonialism. Murdering these people and paving over their graves. But they literally never frame it that way they're too racist so it's still, like, subliminal white guilt under a thick layer of "what if the savage ndns come back 😨" like the scary thing here is YOU LOL

It's also frequently pretty unnecessary set dressing. What if you were in a haunted hotel cause a guy went crazy and killed his family in there ... and there were dead ndns also. Implying it's the dead ndns fault. Man white people just do that sometimes

men aren't obsessed with Rome they're obsessed with being patriarchs who get to subjugate everyone around them. He doesn't care about Pliny the Elder, he's having wet dreams where he gets to be Caesar. It's unironically the new vegas thing, we're living in an age beyond on-the-nose satire. This was also mussolini's deal

drawing is all sbout becoming good at illustrating one character at 3/4 angle and nothing else no backgrounds no props no furniture no money no job no future

we need a shinigami eyes for anti blackness, but that'd make white ppl shit themselves in anger and be our problem once again

once again in my thoughts... black people deserve to know who in their "community" is safe..

Every time I see someone casually refer to someone else (often a complete fucking stranger they just read a story about) as a 'narcissist' I get this much closer to just biting people. I'm not interested in ultraconservative evangelical demon-possession cults. Stop doing their work for them.

Like surely there are other ways to call someone arrogant and selfish without yanking open the cover on the demon possession cult pipeline. Pick basically anything else. Like the phrase "arrogant and selfish".

There's stuff I do intentionally (being there for someone), there's stuff that's not in my control (whatever anyone finds attractive), and then there's the enigma.
