"You Can't Just Pick And Choose The Parts Of A Romantic Relationship That You Want"

I don’t follow football/soccer but I like that there’s a Muslim soccer player who’s so good that he made the city of Liverpool measurably less racist

been getting really into rockhounding lately and the subreddits are great

the asexual double edged sword is that a lot of people, particularly queer discoursers(tm) online, are really really rancid about ace people who have sex, I mean like stunningly awful, so naturally sex favorable/indifferent asexuals will be very keen on making sure that they aren't erased within their own community and that people at large know they exist. at the same time, people are also Very Bad about ace people who don't have sex, and sex averse/repulsed asexuals face a lot of pressure both on societal and interpersonal scales to submit to sex that they don't want, and so naturally it'll really rub them the wrong way to constantly have "but don't worry, ace people can still conform to the societal expectation!" appended to their PSAs about their experiences of asexuality. and so everyone's just kinda upset and annoyed all the time when instead it should be peace and love on planet ace.

God my friend is so fucking talented

He is my terrible muse

Just started a new book where the regency gentleman doesn't employ a valet, and it made a big deal of how he likes to dress himself. But all I could think about was who is looking after those clothes? It mentions sending to the village seamstress for mending, but is he ironing them himself? Brushing the coats and blacking the boots?

Baffling! I guess a footman would have to do it without having the prestige/ pay of a valet? I know the author is like “lol at this independent man he’s so progressive” but within the context of his society I feel like all his peers, servants, and neighbors would think him cheap and stingy.

why do we even have legal genders anyway. maybe we should not have those

one time when i was 17 i watched an episode of doctor who (tennant years) that made me so inconsolable that i went upstairs to my mom and i sobbed like, "please don't make fun of me, i'm so upset about a fake person from a tv show right now i can't stop crying." she let me sit in her lap and tell her all about the episode and i stopped crying and said i felt so stupid and she started laughing and she said, "i once cried this hard in college over a star trek episode. want to hear about it?" i said yes and then while she told me about the episode she got upset all over again 30 years later and she started crying and then i started laughing about it so hard i started crying again
