tim walz is credited for the free public school lunch program that was actually a years-long grassroots campaign by the mother of philando castille. her son would pay for kids’ lunches out of his own pocket was murdered in cold blood by the cops that walz has funded and protected as they terrorize black minnesotans and their friends and loved ones with impunity (to such an extent that the department of justice found the extrajudicial killings of minneapolis police to be exceptional). this election will be a special kind of hell for twin cities residents who have not seen any resolution to the summer that walz sent the national guard into our neighborhoods to fire rubber bullets at us on our porches. these people will not make our lives better. these people are not “easier to organize against”. harris and walz are blood-drenched terrorists with big cheesy grins on their faces
getting excited over your own story is so fun. like yes i am excited about something i made up! no it’s not real, silly, it’s the fake people who live in my head! teehee! i am normal and can be trusted! i love being a writer hhhhh
i go to toss you the remote but i accidentally put too much power behind it. Luckily i also have shit aim so it careens through three walls directly to the left of your head, striking an unfortunate pidgeon
How could you NOT fall in love with the glow of the moon and stars, the warmth of the sun, the ancient life within the trees, and the sweet melodies of the winds?
I know this site is like 99.9% usamericans so all of the political posts are focused on the US election but I think it’s important for everyone to know that the Australian Liberal Party (which is actually the conservative party) straight up missed the deadline to put in the nominations for local elections, which means there are a stack of electorates where there is no nominee for the major conservative party and it’s the funniest thing that’s happened in years.

“your girlfriend’s pussy was crowdfunded” is going to be the hottest insult at bitchy trans dinner arguments circa 2027
most transes i know are way too Red for this insult to track properly. “your gfs pussy was paid for by your lockheed-martin salary” would hit like a brick, though
my pussy is funded by the government! as it should be 🫡
This is personal but it’s something I really don’t see talked about.
Being aroace and realising you potentially want kids in the future can feel so incredibly daunting. It can feel like two aspects of you that just can’t coexist practically as there is no precedent there.
Not wanting a partner in the future obviously makes ‘standard’ conception a bit difficult but also basically bars you from adopting (at least where I live). And alternative methods of conception come with their own multitude of challenges.
And then there’s the feeling that you’d never be able to do it on your own. Single parenting carries its own social stigma, regardless of the situation that leads to it. There’s an unjustified but unfortunately still present feeling; Are you being selfish? Would it be unfair? And not to mention what family (or anyone else) would say about you choosing to raise a kid alone. You know it shouldn’t matter but it does.
It also feels difficult to reconcile it with your identity, even if that sounds strange. Wanting kids is so scarcely mentioned in aro/ace circles. It goes against the ‘happy on my own’ narrative. Having kids is implied to be another aspect of the amatonormative culture that we reject. But that isn’t always the case.
I don’t really have a conclusion to this, I just wanted to get some thoughts out. It’s quite personal and it’s late at night so things may not be worded perfectly. That said, I welcome any other perspectives on the topic.
hm apparently there’s public sex discourse going on right now. i cannot imagine a less qualified group of people to talk about both being in public and having sex than tumblr.com users
the thing that really grinds my gears about the cheesy tiktok censorshop of “sewer slide” “real life game over” etc is that. like. we already have euphemisms for suicide and death. ‘took his own life.’ 'lost their battle with mental illness’. 'passed away.’ even assuming the censorship/shadowban/algorithm hiding shit they think is happening really is happening, there’s ways to get around it that don’t make you sound like a kindergartener

the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex favorable but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why
PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle
goth antgirl sprays herself with dead ant pheromones to seem more spooky but her antgirl family & friends keep trying to drag her to the dead antgirl pile… where the living goth antgirls who sprayed themselves with dead ant pheromones are lounging awkwardly
i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job
listen if somebody knows that they will be dead in a years time, and you are forcing them to continue to come into work, that’s fucked up. terminally ill people should be able to quit their jobs and live their last few months to the fullest. i don’t get how that’s a controversial opinion
