Hurricane Helpers Collaboration 🌧️

Ansy: I’m teaming up with my friend on IG, PKMN Professor Case, to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts in areas affected by recent storms.

Case: As Hurricane Milton approaches, we’re creating special thank-you art for anyone who contributes to our fundraiser to support those in need. Details coming soon—stay tuned for how you can help!

From both of us, thank you! & if you are/were in the path of either hurricane, stay safe. 🩵

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

still thinking about this youtube comment i screenshotted ages ago

Idk how "when interacting with ancient texts, it is important to understand the cultural norms and practices at the time, while still being able to interrogate the ways in which these perpetuate a system of violence and oppression, or the ways in which it gives you a glimpse of what they believed during that time period and how it's affected their stories and narratives. Context is important but not justification. Interest is not endorsement." is such a hot take

Fun fact: ace people can wear clothing which can be interpreted as sexual despite being ace.

Just because someone has skin showing doesn’t mean they want to have sex. Thinking like that is…kinda just really weird

As we near the end of aromantic awareness week, I offer up my spicy takes as your friendly neighborhood aroace:

Romantic attraction is one of the many beautiful experiences you can have as a human but it’s just that— an experience. Not an end goal or a threshold. Lived experiences are not universal because we have the wonderful privilege of living on a planet full of different kinds of people.

Tbh romantic relationships look fun when done right. But you know what else is fun? Eating a really good muffin. Reading a story that blows your brains apart. Telling your friends a deez nuts joke and hearing them collectively groan. All rich moments of joy are meant to be cherished. 

Sing it with me: platonic relationships are not lesser, weaker, or cheaper than romantic ones. I hope everyone reading this gets to someday experience a friendship so stalwart and loving that it anchors you through the worst and best of your life. I hope everyone reading this will have someone in their life who cherishes how beautiful they are to their core, regardless of mutual attraction or the obligations of courtship rituals. 

Sex jokes made by the aro and ace communities are superior.

If you’ve ever identified with aromanticism, then hats off to you fellow traveler. You are seen, you are respected, and you are loved. Have a nice end to your week y’all.

werewolves are the best because they can be about womanhood or transness or morality or self-image or any type of Otherness. alienation. being afraid of yourself. society being afraid of you. finding your true self. becoming free.
