Hello! As Someone That Dumpster Dives Year-round And Usually Finds A SHIT TON Of Perfectly Usable Items

it’s actually really harmful and kinda fucked up to imply that aphobia is an “online-only” thing, as if aces don’t have a 42% rate of suicidal intent/ideation (one of the highest in the lgbtq community and even higher in trans aces), are more likely to experience sexual assault than heterosexuals, are more likely to experience corrective rape, have little to no legal protections against discrimination, aren’t considered an actual sexuality in many places, aren’t mentioned in sex ed or included in most conversations about sexuality, health and relationships, are classified as a mental illness in the DSM and are widely regarded as disordered in psychological and medical fields, are often prescribed medication that’s meant to “fix” them and make them allo, put in conversion therapies to make them “normal,” are often encouraged or forced into dangerous and even traumatizing situations meant to “correct” them (not unlike lesbians experiencing comphet), are considered a product of trauma or sexual abuse (especially in childhood) instead of a real, complete identity, are rarely discussed in queer conversations despite never being acknowledged or understood by cishets, never given any representation in media, and are widely regarded by the majority of the population as “unnatural,” “inhuman,” and “broken.” aphobia is not an “internet discourse topic” only. it’s a serious form of bigotry and pretending like it’s not a real issue in The Real World and only exists in small online circles only allows this bigotry to fester and go by unchecked. y’all need to start giving a shit about asexual and queer people like yesterday.

Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers 💪🎨✍🎮

If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!

Start with hands up, fingers stretched out.  Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.

Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.

Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times

Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Y'all real fucking priveldged I hope you know

Single mother with 2 injured children trapped under IOF fire in north Gaza—evacuation and treatment needed NOW!!

Maha and the children were not able to evacuate before the IOF surrounded their area. They are under fire NOW.

Little Khalil has been injured after the lOF rigged a nearby house to explode. Then while seeking shelter, the lOF fired gas canisters at them. They were unable to escape the gas, and now Joan is struggling to breathe!

They need funds for transportation, rent, and treatment for Joan’s breathing problems! In total, this means the amount they require is $2,300 USD. However, we are going to split this goal up. We will focus first an raising funds for transport and rent, totaling $1,700 USD

reblog to give a trans person soup

By all means let ur kids dress up however they want, fuck the homophobes who say that letting ur five year old son where a dress is the "gay agenda" or "degeneracy" or whatever, I think it's really healthy to let kids choose how they wanna express themselves

BUT HOLY FUCK! CAN YOU NOT FILM THEM AND PUT EM ONLINE???

It's not a fucking heartwarming moment omg its super voyeuristic to put your fucking five year old in the position of being exposed to homophobic judgements online it's fucking disgusting why am I seeing videos of someone filming their very young children experimenting with gender expression? Why are you people sharing that? It's using your kid for clout while also exposing them to extremely harsh criticism from bigots, it really is not charming at all.

Hello! Here's some traditional art that I made recently.

Slight gore/blood warning?

The boy in two of the drawings is my oc Gaz. He's a monster boi so that's why he's got antennae. I created him last year around November, and he's for a story I'm working on that I'll be posting about.

The character in the last sketch is Corin. I made him just this year around Halloween, but I'll talk about him some other time.

Well that's it for now.
