nobody better be posting about the met gala without mentioning the giant pro-palestine demonstration going on outside

There is something so sweet,tender and meaningful about Tim being first and foremost a Dick Grayson fan. Not a Robin fan. Not a Nightwing fan. Just Dick, and after all they went through that never changed

The fact this was Damian's go-to fake name is killing me

"Quick think of a fake name!"

"my brother's first name and my other brother's last name. I'm a genius."

ohhh boy i love fanart!!

At any given moment I'm just deeply obsessed with what happens AFTER a story, but this is most true when looking at Time Loops. What is life like for you when you've gone through every wild thing imaginable on what is for everyone else just another Tuesday? How do you continue your old life as a net new person? And how does that affect the people around you? What is it like to play mother to a child who has lived 3 years in one afternoon? How do you be husband to a spouse who is barely recognizable?

I just saw a post with a very dangerous conflation of terminology going around (and on International Asexuality Day, no less!) so as a polite but firm, and apparently much-needed reminder:

Sex repulsed/averse, sex indifferent, and sex favorable are terms used by the asexual spectrum community to describe individual feelings and interest levels towards sex. You don't have to identify with any of these terms to be ace-spec, but lots of ace-specs consider them useful vocabulary — since we do, after all, exist on a wide spectrum.

These terms are not the same thing as being sex negative or sex positive, and they should not be used interchangeably! Sex negativity and sex positivity refer to attitudes towards sex in a societal setting, and the associated regressive, queerness-punishing societal norm (sex negativity) or movement to fix/overthrow that societal norm (sex positivity).

Calling sex repulsed asexuals "sex negative" conflates ace people's individual feelings about sex with societal sex negativity and cultural conservatism. Maybe not to you using that term, knowing what you mean, but to potential readers. And that doesn't mean you're consciously aphobic or anything, but it's still a vital misconception to address — because implying, accidentally or otherwise, that ace people are invariably sex negative or even responsible for sex negativity is pretty fucked up!

It encourages acephobia in queer communities (especially online ones), drives wedges between people who would otherwise be among each other's closest allies in the fight for queer liberation... and even neglects the fact that even sex repulsed asexuals suffer harm from sex negativity, too! Sex negative culture doesn't let you talk about asexuality without being accused of "oversharing," or "corrupting the youth!" That's, like, one of the aphobe talking points, even though it's just recycled homophobia and transphobia, and it proves the need to truly understand asexuality and sex positivity as forces that are by no means inherently opposed!

TL;DR: Please don't conflate sex negativity with sex repulsion or aversion — it feeds misconceptions that in turn feed aphobic discourse. This sex positive, sex averse ace, and many others in the same boat or similar boats, will all thank you for using the right wording!

happy star wars day ya filthy animals
