  • If I need a support group to feel comfortable and safe under “my” own label, there’s something wrong.

    It’s been better on my mental health to just stay far away from communities that want to simultaneously say I belong and yet also call me an acephobic bigot for the sin of not wanting sex-yes shoved down my throat in what I hoped was a community of fellow sex-no’s.

    No thanks. Don’t need that. I lucked out and landed both romance-no AND sex-no, so I have the easier option of just dodging that entire scene.

    And that’s why I instead offer my condolences to the romance-yes, sex-no people out there who now have to seek partners in very sex-yes filled spaces when they were JUST starting to get some sex-no spaces.


  • I would appreciate it if the two had separate labels so that they could enjoy their own commonalities, rather than being lumped into one despite being very, very different. Incompatibly different.

    It feels like the equivalent of a lot of guys going into a space for gay guys, saying “I’m totally gay, but I really prefer sex with women and if you say a guy having sex with women ain’t gay then you’re just homophobic”.

    Then on every single post about guys with guys, you get comments saying “Guys like girls too! Don’t forget about us!”

    Like, Bisexual and Heterosexual are right there. Why go into a Homosexual space and change it instead?


  • “and help that be a self-fulfilling prophecy by not caring that it makes people looking for others who are naturally not sexual very uncomfortable to be considered under the same label.”

    Thanks for being among them. This is why I don’t use that descriptor online anymore, nor go to online asexual communities.

    There’s a lot of people whose sexuality is NO, and being forced to share “safe” spaces online for their shared lack of sexuality with people who also say they’re asexual but their sexuality is YES is awkward, uncomfortable, and off-putting.

    AKA no longer safe spaces (or a safe to use label) for those whose sexuality is NO.

    Currently, thankfully, people offline still seem to understand “I’m asexual” means “No, I do not want to fuck. Not anyone, not ever.”

    A lot if horny people like the idea of joining the LGBT club and ironically found the Asexual label the easiest one to morph to their desires.

    So now a lot of people online will say asexuals are still very much sexual, and help that be a self-fulfilling prophecy by not caring that it makes people looking for others who are naturally not sexual very uncomfortable to be considered under the same label.

    Taking the Pill has never really been something I considered since I’m not a fan of taking pills outside of medical necessity (exception for ibuprofen because pain sucks). I also kind assumed force blocking it permanently would be really bad for some health reason.

    If it’s not though and I can really just deleteit like that… Very much worth looking into. Useful to know!



  • Whatever the title of “This girl is on fire” is.

    Pretty sure it’s supposed to be empowering or something but all I hear is ThIs guRl iZ oN FiiIiiRrrrrrRrreee!!! two hundred times in a row.

    Like okay she’s on fire. Got it. Get damn fire extinguisher or something and SHUT UP.

    Honorary shout out to the 80℅ of songs on the radio thst are about relationships. You know there’s more topics that exist? Does it ALWAYS have to be about relationships?

    And Christmas songs on eternal repeat starting before Halloween. Thanks, radio. I hate Christmas songs now. Not because they suck, but because you suck gor playing them over and over FOR HALF THE YEAR.

    This sounds like an explanation on why I can’t fully hate on people trying to convert others to their religion.

    Because if they truly believe their religion, then they are honestly trying to “save” other peoples’ souls with conversion. They really believe they’re doing a good thing.

    I can laugh because it’s a silly notion and the odds of them convincing me of a real life deity is slim. But to them it’s real and altruistic to spend time trying to “save” others.




  • I don’t watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.

    From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn’t read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.

    Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.
