Kippie, but political

@FenrirZ_ @apocalitas Respect the wishes of the victim in this scenario and do not try to "hold to account" someone who currently has nothing to do with you. It is normal to feel helpless in these situations, but going against the wishes of the victim is selfish.

How ace is that person? An easy reference guide: Did they say they are ace? Congratulations that’s all the proof needed, they are ace.

This show is actually a great illustration of how amatonormativity isn't just an aspec issue: You could be in a relationship that is totally healthy and happy, yet is deemed "fake" because you're not displaying a "correct" level or type of visible affection, or sexuality. (4/9)

I think it's safe to say that erasure and invalidation are issues faced by many ace/aro and queer people in relationships : The judgement that your relationship isn't "valid" because it doesn't "seem" valid. But what if there was an entire reality show about that? (🧵, 1/9)

"ACTIVISTS ARE CALLING US TRANSPHOBES FOR BUYING HARRY POTTER! IM NOT A BAD PERSON; I JUST WANNA PLAY A WIZARD GAME." Buying HP stuff doesn't make you a transphobe. What IT IS saying is that you care more for entertainment than trans people. It says you're not an ally.

@Jugglerofgeese2 @ErinInTheMorn Maybe we should take the Tony-The-Tiger approach and just bombard corporate twitters with nonstop thirstposting

I just saw this removed live on Elon Musk's page! "Readers added context they thought people might want to know" as twitter staff facing layoffs report the surge in advertisers cancelling their ads with Twitter.

Asexual people NEED to be protected by the ban on conversion therapy. We are one of the most vulnerable groups but it's rarely spoken about. This #AceWeek2022, you can help to raise awareness of the issue! Spread the word. 💜

this ace week, it would be great if y'all could finally grasp that the asexuality spectrum is about *how* one experiences attraction/desire, not *who* attraction/desire is aimed at.

For anyone still confused as to why some Christian Nationalists take issue with an asexual marriage, please read this. biblicalgenderroles.com/2018/06/12/doe…

CPTSD is trending, which means if you don't know what it is you're going to learn! The "C" stands for Complex. PTSD is when you have a traumatic experience so bad you can't process it; CPTSD is when you are exposed to a long series of traumatic experiences and never feel safe.

@RoweWriter @scretladyspider Let alone the fact that if you were to ever get married, you would be expected to Suddenly NOT be asexual and/or become a sexual being for your spouse.

@scretladyspider I tried to explain my sexuality to someone and they interpreted it as being, "blessed by God" because I live without attraction 🤨🤔😐 I think they meant it as a compliment, but it was very strange and not the definition of asexuality. I'm pretty sure they still don't get it

question for aces out there: What are some well-intentioned things allos do thinking they’re being an ally, but are actually harmful to aces?

@scretladyspider Sexuality in regards to how the queer community members engage in their relationships, self presentation or day to day lives is EVER acceptable.

@scretladyspider oppression against queer folk of all sorts by demonizing their sexual expression and suppressing it is also extremely important to talk about. These two concepts are not mutually exclusive in the slightest, but there is no situation at all where bringing up the term Compulsory

Circular economy is how people in the past centuries survived and thrived and had beautiful homes. Did we become too lazy or ignorant?

Media literacy in America is getting worse, probably bc: —our schools don’t teach it —our media is highly corporatized —‘reality tv’ entertainment deliberately conflates reality & fiction —we conflate media representation with social activism (rather than an effect thereof)

@ArisasGayMagic @evan_just_evan @_AshJOY Oooh reading into the words from aromantic people and their spectrum of experiences should help a lot on that front! It's always so engaging and fun to hear other experiences like that, I bet you'll do great. You can always run it by a few other people to double check, too!

@ArisasGayMagic @evan_just_evan @_AshJOY Exactly! And it's a good display of how deep platonic relationships aren't any less deep and potent as romantic affections. Both involve deep mutual trust and emotional connection, and that's what can make them compatible even when it might seem "counterintuitive".

@ArisasGayMagic @evan_just_evan @_AshJOY Exaaactly! We all deviate from the hegemonic ideal in a myriad of brilliant ways.
