I'm offended that this take leaves out other potato experiences, which is just another example of the cisheteropatriarchy in action.

Living the Joy of Amatopunk... with Arielle Joria One on One, we discuss the spirit of amatopunk, our histories with radical relationship structures and the importance of choosing aspec joy.

"I'm perfectly content being single. How do I get my friends to believe me?" There are strategies to get your friends to respect your happy single life.

Getting people to fully accept and affirm your happily single life can be a challenge.

BREAKING

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.

It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.

She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.

I loved it for a number of reasons, beyond what I wrote about here. It hit me hard as someone in their 40s trying to figure out what's happening past midlife. I just thought it was perfect.

"Somebody Somewhere": The show that doesn't know it's an uplifting aspec vision. When Jeff Hiller won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, I told myself it was time to finally check out this show.

I binged SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE after Jeff Hiller won the Emmy. I couldn't have built a more aspec-affirming world if I tried.

We have to live in a fascist country AND endure "Wicked: For Good" discourse?

The Fall of the House of Usher has come up quite a bit in discussion of FIEND so I'm grateful to @screamkings.bsky.social for the chance to talk about it

"How do I feel pride in my asexuality when it's only created struggles?" Pride can contain all of queerness's complexity.

Being proud of your aspec identity can take a number of different forms.

I didn't realize it was cancelled until I was done with Season 3 and I was CRUSHED. haha. It hit me deeply on so many levels.

Fiend by Alma Katsu: 9780593714348 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books Historical horror maven Alma Katsu turns her talents to the modern world for the first time, in this terrifying tale about an all-powerful family with an ancient evil under its thumb. Imagine if...

As the world (or at least the US) goes to shit, contemplate what it would be like to have a 1,000-year old demon to take care of things for you www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/734363...

Sex advice ain't good advice without asexuality. Asexuality stands in opposition to allonormativity. That's why we need it.

If asexuality is left out of our conceptions of queerness and sexuality, the picture is dangerously incomplete.

I binged SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE, and I cannot recommend this more. It's gorgeously written and acted.

I knew and love the score, but MY GOD that fucked me up.

I found a slime tutorial of the Bway A STRANGE LOOP today, and decided to watch it. And I'm now kind of sobbing. My god, what a gorgeous piece of musical theatre.

"When my friends couple up, I feel like it detracts from my life. What do I do?" Here's how to cut yourself and your friends some emotional slack.

"When I brush up against something that flips the “on” switch on my shame or frustration or feeling of being the “other,” I balance that negative input with some positive output."

The Right actually believes deeply in oppression. They just want it to be *theirs.* They see oppression as a narrative that gives them meaning and nobility -- while having all the power and experiencing nothing of actual oppression.

Ned Fulmer Breaks Silence on 'Devastating' Cheating Scandal, 3 Years After Leaving The Try Guys (Exclusive) Ned Fulmer speaks out for the first time after leaving The Try Guys about the cheating scandal that torpedoed his career, the status of his marriage to Ariel and his plans for what’s next.

I hate this so much. To frame having an affair with an employee when you're the acting HR person of the company as "a consensual thing with a coworker" is the WORST, and he's using his grossy revised narrative to squeeze some money out of it. This dude's the worst.

Aspec ideas are good for you, too, actually. Allos embracing aspec ideas is a good thing for everyone.

Recognizing and resisting the crushing norms around sex don’t just liberate asexual people. They liberate everyone. Spotting and rejecting the restrictive norms around romance don’t just liberate aromantic people. They liberate everyone.

Thank you!

Any book recommendations about the Gilded Age (the historical time period, not the show)?

It was a shitpost. Check out Know Your Meme for more of the history on it, or john ganz, or my newsletter #kirk #owo TikTok video by Aidan Walker

I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination.

Robinson is an alt-right nihilist, but in a way that's hard for many to understand.

I think Aidan says what I want to say better than I could.

The reason affluent media people are such suckers for “civility” is that the actual content of most politics has no real stakes for them personally. If you want to find these people’s true political feelings, mess with their money.

Appreciate the sentiment but let’s not amplify this tool

It’s not “cancel culture” if YOU ARE STILL RUNNING YOUR MOUTH ON THE INTERNET.

Tyler Robinson will be out of the news by Monday.

Right wing which dominates media and politics and power is already gaslighting their audience and still blaming "the left."

You can't shame shameless people who are committed to an extremist authoritarian project.

Someone told me today they find me “standoffish and not fun.”

1) nobody is more critical of me than me and 2) I’m very selective about who I keep community with. The world is mean and awful. I allocate a part of myself to serve others. The rest is for real stuff. Sorry if that’s not fun to you.

The Discourse + the discourse about how people should properly engage in The Discourse = no one communicating anything of value to anyone
