Ides of March 2025 is going to be a fucking blast because it will have been 2069 years since Caesar's death day
I think maybe people need to remember that the reason people will often assume Asexual also means Aromantic or will Assume people are AroAce if they are one of those identities isn't because AroAces are muddying the narrative of what Aspec is but actually because a lot of society doesn't understand what the hell the split attraction model is.
Most people cannot conceptualize Romance and Sex as two separate things. For most people, Romantic attraction and Sexual attraction are the same or go hand in hand. They hear "I'm not interested in sex" and assume you must also not be interested in romance because to them romance cannot exist without sex. The same can be said for vice versa.
So please, PLEASE, stop framing this issue as something aroaces caused. Please start going after the actual core of the issue, which is societies lack of knowledge and understanding of split attraction. AroAces are not you enemy here. We are not the ones causing you to be mistaken as AroAce. We can work together to solve this if only you would stop shoving us away due to fear of even being associated with us.
someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue
here’s the closeted furries “hey man… can u bum me a cig” and “the one uncle nobody invites to the family reunion but SOMEONE keeps telling him where it is anyways”

ft John:
if parks and rec was still being made they’d do a bit where ron swanson has to wear a pronouns name tag and it’d just be “???/???” And it’d cut to a talking head of him going
“I’ve been a fool all this time. It’s bad enough the government knows my name, but now they want to know my gender? So I’m not letting them know my preferred pronouns. As far as I’m concerned, no one in this building should refer to me at all.”
Just a psa for fic writers who use the “trauma bond” tag, please make sure you’re using it correctly. A trauma bond is not two people who experience similar trauma and bond over it. It’s a carefully curated, manipulative bond between abuser and victim to keep the victim coming back because of the addictive highs and lows that come with abuse.
If you want to tag two characters bonding over shared trauma, a good substitute tag would be “bonding over shared trauma.” Trauma bonding is, by definition, an abusive relationship and may steer people who have experienced it away from your fic. Please spread the word and happy writing!
She was murdered in a restaurant. In a public space. And they haven't reached a verdict.
In Kazakhstan, on the night of November 8–9, 2023, the murder of Saltanat Nukenova occurred in the BAU restaurant, which is located in Astana.
She was killed by ex-Minister of National Economy Kuandyk Bishimbayev.
Almost six months have passed since the crime was committed, but the court has not yet passed a verdict, although there is all the evidence and all the witnesses. Bishimbayev is defended by six lawyers who ask the brother of the deceased inappropriate questions, and the judge does not reject them, thereby making his brother emotional in order to take him out of the courtroom and continue the hearing without him, which will help Bishimbayev, since he does not admit his guilt. Quoting the words of the defendant Kuandyk Bishimbayev: “I do not admit guilt completely... Not that completely. I say that I did not intentionally kill a person with particular cruelty."
Saltanat came to the establishment with her husband, ex-Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan Kuandyk Bishimbayev.
According to investigators, while intoxicated, he “inflicted a series of crushing blows to the woman’s head with his fists.” The wife fell to the floor, and then Bishimbayev began kicking her. Nukenova tried to hide in one of the rooms, but he knocked down the door and beat her again. After that, the ex-minister grabbed the woman by the throat and began to choke her.
He also said that he punched and kicked his wife for eight hours. When Saltanat “wheezed,” he saw a large bruise on the entire left side of her face and a swollen nose. The man was scared, but instead of calling the doctors, he called a clairvoyant. Bishimbayev, in his own words, thus wanted to find out when Saltanat would “come to his senses.” The clairvoyant told Bishimbayev that she would soon feel better, after which the official left his wife in the VIP room, and he himself went to a previously planned meeting.
As the brother of the accused, Bakhytzhan Baizhanov, later said, when he arrived at the scene of the incident, he saw a woman who was unconscious. At Bishimbayev’s request, he picked her up and laid her on the sofa.
Then the ex-minister went to have breakfast, and upon returning “20-30 minutes later” it turned out that Nukenova’s body had become cold and her pulse had disappeared. Baizhanov suggested calling an ambulance. However, Bishimbayev decided to wait. He made attempts to “bring her to her senses” with the help of ammonia, to which the beaten woman did not react.
Please don't be silent. Spread this news even if you are not from Kazakhstan. Especially if you are not from Kazakhstan.
