I've Been Skimming The Ace Tag To Report Bots, Since I'm Recovering From COVID And Needed To Feel Productive

I've been skimming the ace tag to report bots, since I'm recovering from COVID and needed to Feel Productive and... man. It's really heartbreaking the amount of negativity I'm reading from some ace folks absolutely convinced that they'll never have successful and happy relationships of any variety and. Like.

This aging (42) ace (bi/demiromantic 95% asexual, if you need to me establish my credentials) just wants the younger aces to know that MY LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS TURNED OUT PRETTY GREAT, ACTUALLY. I have a spouse and co-parent who accepts and loves the entire messy package of me, including my copious quantities of mental illness and my ridiculous number of queer letters. I have queer friends that may or may not be QPRs. I'm pretty indifferent the idea of labeling it, I just know that our relationship goes far beyond "just" friendship - they are family. And I'm in a place where I'm able to be as open about my ace identities as I am about the rest of my queerness. Don't fall into the trap of delegitimizing your aceness the way you've been taught! "Partners" don't have to be ROMANTIC to matter. And there are people out there ready and eager to love you for exactly who you are, aceness included.

Man, I would have loved if I could have given my tits to my transfem bestie. I had really good tits, she would have rocked them. Seemed like such a waste

I’m sure every trans person wanting to start HRT has thought the same thing at some point but

We should really have a hormone exchange center where we donate out hormones to a trans person in need and get the hormones we need for like no money.

Just a casual exchange, no biggie.

I don’t really want my testosterone, you can have it. Please, you’ll make better use of it I’m sure.

hot take: 

Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.

Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.

Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards

& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards

COVID sucks big fat donkey dick, and anyone who minimizes how bad it is deserved to get punched in the tit and/or dick.

Today was day four, after my daughter brought it home from the COMPLETELY MANDATORY and NON OPTIONAL risk vector of her school. And sure I've had flus that were worse, and sure the first and only other time I had it was MUCH worse, and yes vaccines have kept me from contacting it from other very definite exposures.

STILL.

The fever and joint pain I had the first two days were hell, my throat fucking HURTS, and apparently secondary oral thrush infection is A Whole Thing with COVID that I am now learning about.

But instead of deciding to keep the common sense protocols that we knew were effective in minimizing the spread of all infectious diseases, we wanted to gEt BaCk To NoRmAl.

And now I have COVID, and my ass is lying in the dark waiting for the decongestants to hit hard enough for me to go to sleep, and I'm feeling very cranky about all of this. Obviously.

Oh. This is lovely.

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.
