i'm watching howl's moving castle and i've decided on a new maslow's hierarchy of needs

Sometimes I feel weird identifying as aromantic AND polyamorous, because people act like it's somehow impossible, but, like...I really love the label aromantic, because I don't feel like I experience romantic attraction the same way as allos.

I don't consider romantic attraction important in a relationship at all, because I just don't really seem to feel it very strongly? Like, for me, an intimate partnership is grounded in being extremely good friends, being willing to care for each other emotionally, and building a life together. Romance doesn't have to be a part of it at all, but I'm not, like, repulsed by romance most of the time, so sometimes I'm cool with romancey-type stuff.

But, like, it's just not vital to me. But I like having multiple intimate partnerships because it feels comforting and stable not to rely solely on one partner for everything, y'know?

So anyway, shout-out to all the other aromantic polyamorous people!!! We exist, damn it!!!

happy ace awareness week!!!

i was worried that i wouldn’t be able to finish it in time,,,

LGBT folk deserve these things and so much more - consider donating to black LGBT funds this pride in support of BLM 

Look, there's got to be something sociologically meaningful about the fact that almost every single queer person I know under the age of about 35 daydreams about setting up an extended household--a little town or a house or an apartment building or a few houses or a mansion or a commune--and filling it with all their friends so we can all live near one another and take care of each other.

It is a wildly common fantasy. Every time I met a new group of people it pops wistfully up. As I age, folks get more and more determined to try. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail and those of us with mobile careers, like mine, are at something of a disadvantage, but the wistful notion is everywhere. The dream. Having our friends who love us right here, where we can touch them and help them.

I don't know if it's just that I live on the internet, but it's something, gazing into the flickering screen and knowing we're all daydreaming about a better future for all of us working together to support one another.

Remember, every time you are so unapologetically yourself you are showing someone else they can have the courage to do the same.

I don’t think people realise how easy it is to feel ugly when you’re South East Asian.

I know so many popular East Asian bloggers, who always get so many notes because of how elegant and refined and. Pale. They are. Those are standards most of us can never achieve. I’ve never seen a selfie set of a southeast Asian girl break 1k: but I’ve seen plenty, and I mean plenty of pale East Asians break 3k easy.

I know East Asian bloggers who go on about racism against East Asians and act like it’s universal. I know some who will talk about East Asian racism but never breathe a word about racism against southeast Asians.

I know East Asian bloggers who literally don’t follow any South East Asians. The ones who say that it doesn’t matter because “we’re all East Asian!” Technically. Or those who act like we’re a different breed and a different species.

I wonder if most East Asians know that their beauty standards get passed down to our countries. I wonder if they know how it hurts a lot of us.

So I’m giving a shoutout to every southeast Asian girl. Every one of you,if us, deserves to feel pretty.

I’m talking about the Indonesian gals with broad noses. The Malay girls who wear Tudung and are mocked. Chinese Singaporeans who are still not “Chinese enough” for mainlanders. Filipino girls who feel guilty about their curly or frizzy hair. Indian Singaporeans who are feel like they need to be pale to be worth something ( you don’t). Thai girls who are told their country is only good for farming rice. Myanmar girls who get asked mockingly if they’re domestic workers. Even if you are, there is no shame in that. Every Cambodian girl who felt bad about having thick lips. I know I left a lot of people out, and I’m sorry. But if you’re reading this and haven’t seen yourself here - you are just as worthy and my spirit and strength and good wishes are with you

You are all beautiful. Every single one of you. We are all beautiful. It’s hard to see it and it’s hard to feel it sometimes but we are. You are. Every one of you. Pride to our people!

gender is a coin that everyone said was gonna land on heads or tails but i turned mine into one of those pressed pennies from the museum. it’s got a dinosaur on it

If you haven’t washed your hands, brushed your teeth, washed your face, and/or showered recently, be sure to take a break soon to do that. Personal hygiene is part of taking care of your health, and you’ll feel better after you do!

I think I’m amusing

Taking a breather

Experiencing burnout in an area you love doesn’t mean you are no longer passionate about that thing, or are any less good at it. It’s often an indication that there are other parts of your life that need your care. A garden looks most beautiful when every flower is watered, and you deserve to nourish yourself in the same way. You will flourish again.
