There are other aroace people out there.

To every aspec: I am proud of you.

To aspecs who are out and loud about your aspec identities: I am proud of you. Keep on being true to yourself. You inspire us all.

To aspecs who can’t or don’t want to come out yet: I am proud of you. Take all the time you need. We are waiting with open arms to welcome you when you are ready.

To aspecs who don’t ever plan to come out: I am proud of you. To put your safety and comfort first is an act of pride in and of itself. You don’t need anyone’s approval but your own.

To aspecs who love being aspec: I am proud of you. Your joy is revolutionary.

To aspecs who don’t love being aspec: I am proud of you. It’s hard, but you keep going anyway.

To people who aren’t sure where they fall on the a-spectrums, or if they do at all: I am proud of you. It takes courage to find answers, and you are doing so well.

To the aspec reading this right now: I am proud of you. Wherever you are in your journey. I hope you are proud of yourself too because honestly? You are amazing. You make our community better by being in it. Thank you.

Hello & howdy! I'm Casper Oliver (he/they). A queer, disabled artist in need.

I'm working multiple jobs, but I'm still struggling to have enough for rent, therapy, medication, and pet care as I look for another job.

Goal: $800

Any bit helps!

Also, any support towards @thesperience does also help! It's the production team I'm a founder of and the more support the team gets, the more we can focus on our project creation instead of needing to search for other jobs!

[Important Update 10/05/2024]

TLDR: Please help a trans disabled venezuelan person of color help their father appeal for an USA parole so the economic crisis doesn't eat their asses alive

[alt title: Maduro bastardo vas a caer imbécil]

I speak from complete honesty when I say that I wish I didn't have to come to this, but the situation here due to the economic crisis seems to just get worse each day, and we strongly fear that regardless of the outcome of either country's elections around the corner, the possibility to leave to the USA and work for a better situation than here will be cutted entirely from our possibilities. This week I spoke longly with my father and we got to the conclusion of saving and helping as much as everyone can to help him appeal for a parole, stay with trusted relatives in Miami, and work to help things over here a little better.

I'm currently working trying to keep things at bay as much as possible. But my relatives at Miami estimate that in order for my father to emigrate safely we'll need At least 8 Thousand, not to mention all the external spends in basic services, food, and others in the meantime we save as much as possible to help him move in the nearest future before the elections of either country

Because of this. Along with any donations anyone wishes to make, I'm currently offering semi-traditional doodles in this rendering style at $30

You have no idea how much anyone helps by even simply sharing this post as much as possible, thinking on the future has been really exhausting and I'm open to working for anything in order to disperse my mind. I hope I explained myself as best as I could, if anyone has any doubts then please don't doubt in contacting me through DMs or Ask prefferible to avoid bot flagging.

Well hey there! I used to be ghonrenoki but either the growt in traction or the high amount of ask and messages flagged my past blog as a robot :^)

I'm a venezuelan disabled trans artist still in urgent financial help over here. I don't want to repeat myself of be too personal, but essentially our car's wheels broke and we now have a new urgent thing to assist, so that's why after consulting friends and clients I elevated a little the goal and comm prices.

If you have the chance, please consider making a donation, buying a commission, or just helping me by rebloging this post is more than enough! <3

My dear lgbt+ kids,

I want to share a petition with you:

"Switzerland currently does not recognize the right to surviving spouse AVS (Social Security) benefits for LGBT+ widows and widowers, while heterosexual widows receive full benefits under the law.

Traditionally, following the death of a husband, a widow is granted a widow's pension. However, the government still denies a widows pension to lesbian widows who meet the same criteria. 

Take the case of Beatriz Hernandez, legally married to her Swiss wife for many years before her wife’s unfortunate death (...)

When her wife died in 2015,  Beatriz filed for the spousal survivor benefits. The Swiss government, however, denied her the surviving pension on the argument that she could not be a widow because she was married to a woman. (...)

We call on the Swiss Government to recognise the constitutional rights of LGBT+ widows and widowers immediately, by granting and paying out the survivor rights which they have funded and earned as Swiss citizens over a lifetime of contributions.

A widow's pension must be granted regardless of the sexual orientation of a woman who loses her spouse."

Sign here!

With all my love,

Your Tumblr Dad

Best of luck

I wish you luck.

Being aromantic, asexual, or aspec in any amount does not make you inhuman, sick, or in need of treatment. You are wonderful as you are

Context: [Link 1, Link 2]

this is something that’s been lost as common knowledge both since the drop off of anti-ace discourse and directly Because of it ever having been a thing in the first place, but in light of recent published bigotry pointed at aspecs (aces And aros) gaining attention I think this is something that bares emphasizing:

this reaction isn’t new, it’s something we’ve seen from conservatives for decades now.

a commonly accepted talking point is that conservative christians Must love aspec people, because they represent the theoretical ideal of abstinence. it’s something that I see even from spaces that Aren’t using it as a weapon against aspecs, and in a vacuum it makes sense as an Assumption.

but the thing it misses is that conservative christians do not think asexual and aromantic people Are Real. when they idolize abstinence it’s as a great sacrifice that one makes to defeat the Universal Demon Of Lust. and, more importantly, It’s Something That’s Supposed To End. you’re Supposed to get into a nice heterosexual christian marriage and have lots of little babies that you take to your nice heterosexual christian church, repeated ad infinitum.

and moreover, both christians and popular society In General see our ability for romantic love as The Thing That Makes Humans Human.

so you introduce the concept of people who Don’t experience either of those things and you get two reactions.

1: horror. the “this is a mental/physical illness that desperately needs to be fixed” approach. the idea is monstrous or pitiable but always revolting. they Believe that you live this way, but they don’t believe that it’s something that a “normal” human being could experience or that it’s something that someone could be Happy experiencing.

2: Suspicion. they don’t believe that asexuality or aromanticism Is Real, therefore it Must be a coverup for something even more revolting than is being lead on. it’s not unlike the idea that any feminine or non-threatening trait in a guy (Any guy) is Really just him trying to lure women into a false sense of security by Being seemingly non-threatening, and is therefore even More suspicious as a potential threat.

we’ve Always seen “well if he doesn’t want to fuck humans then I’ll Bet He Wants To Fuck Something Else” and pedophilia accusations/implications. they don’t see aspecs as Pure and Holy, they see them as a threat either to their understanding of what humans can be or as a wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to get away with something.

this is hardly even the first time that aspecs have been presented this way in published news articles or tv. the difference is that public awareness of asexuality and aromanticism has shifted, and with it the bigotry that was always there is being amplified.

that said, I think it’s important to emphasize that this isn’t new, considering the history of erasure ace and aro people have experienced when trying to talk about said bigotry.

I don’t necessarily think this post needs “evidence” (especially with the fox news article already linked above), but for the sake of illustration lets turn back the clock to 2015 for one of the examples I have saved [Link]
