hello, i was wondering if you could find a term for me? i've tried google but it doesn't seem to bring me anything

is there a term for being a- (like asexual, aromantic, afamilial, etc), but experiencing a little attraction due to trauma? like similar to demi- or grey- but the little attraction is because of trauma, if you weren't traumatised you would have been just a-, if that makes sense?

i was wondering because there's a term for being aspec because of trauma, so maybe there's something for the other way round?

thanks for reading :)

Hi! Sorry this took so long to answer. I'm not particularly good at finding specific terms. I can't remember how long ago this was asked but I do hope you found someone else to help you out. :(

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

hi. i made some images.

feel free to take them and use for whatever you may need them for. no credit required

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

do you think mocking catholicism is funny

yes. next question

The spouse is getting curious about tumblr

Palestine will be free in our lifetime 🇵🇸🍉🕊️ Don't look away, and let's keep supporting Palestine in any way we can.

Hi there! Hope you're having a great day.

I was wondering if maybe you could add Nickilosexual??

Here's the link for the term: https://www.lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Nickilosexual

If you can't open it:

Nickilosexual is when one is attracted to stereotypical romantic antics. This could be valentines day cards, chocolate boxes, paying on the first date, etc. This is often tied in with relationships of a lovecoric individual, but is not exclusive to it. One may find it difficult to date someone who does not hold these "cheesy" stereotypes.

This may be considered an ace-spec identity, as one may have exclusive attraction/may not gain attraction to one until they have shown signs of being romantically stereotypical.

They shall be added to the pile.

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!

the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.

and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!

hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

Do u not enjoy tasting things

true story my spouse made me start chewing my food more often and I was shocked at how flavorful things are. I'm 32
