20% is better than 0%.
Brushing your teeth at least once every day is better than none at all.
A few hours of sleep is better than none.
A few minutes outside for fresh air is better than none.
Writing a few paragraphs of the essay today is better than procrastinating till later.
Doing something is better than nothing (of course there is exception for some cases).
Do things at a pace which makes you comfortable whilst allowing you to make progress.
You can do this!
Regardless of what you think of this tree… this comment was my favourite out of the collection of people who didn’t know deer shed their antlers every spring
The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.
Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.
Checkmate, nihilism.
i really like memes like this. they are truthful, and there is a cat involved. just a big fan all around.
Reblog this if you support sex-averse and sex-repulsed aces, including:
Aces who never want to have sex
Aces who had sex in the past but don't desire it anymore
Aces with sexual trauma who feel like their trauma ties into their asexuality
Aces with sexual trauma who don't feel like their trauma caused their asexuality
Aces who don't want to talk to you about sex
Aces who don't want to hear about sex
Yes even aces who do not want to engage with any sexual content and don't want it in their own personal spaces
Yes even aces who express the desire to have more spaces for queer adults where their boundaries are met (on top of the queer spaces that exist, we do not want to sanitize your existing spaces ffs)
If you cannot be normal about these people existing, if you believe they're a threat to our community and to how we're viewed by people who aren't aspec and the rest of the LGBTQ+ community, you are not an asexual ally. Yes, even if you're aspec yourself. Especially if you're aspec yourself.
Because it's been pride month for 4 days and I'm already seeing people trying to throw us under the bus or pretend we don't exist because that makes the ace community more palatable to exclusionists and people who swallowed too much "aces are puritans" propaganda.
I’m trying to prove something.
happy pride month from your neighborhood gray!! I forget that asexuality has been severely misrepresented and that a lot of people don’t actually know what it is as a result so here is an overview of what asexuality is, what it’s not, and how acephobic is represented. there is so much more to asexuality than just this. I didn’t even mention the medicalization of asexuality!
I highly rec scretspiderlady on Twitter because she writes a lot about the ace experience and has many comprehensive threads. I also rec Yasmin Benoit, a Black aroace lingerie model who is fighting misinformation about asexuality and shedding light on racism within the asexual community. if you’re interested in more resources feel free to dm me!
These people went from lifting chips to pulling off some action movie shit
ok so here are some tips for pirating and torrenting.
BASICS YOU NEED. these are non-negotionable.
1. a good VPN, paid for.
I know I know to start a piracy post with “you have to pay for the first step” IS a bad look but free VPNs are worse than no VPNs, don’t ever torrent or even go on a pirating site without one. (+ on public wifi you are also very much in danger of getting your info stolen) you should already have a VPN, I have nordvpn and a LOT of YouTubers can give you discounts in their videos too, so be on the lookout for that.
2. Get a good anti-virus software.
This is a “worst-case scenario” type deal where you got a little bit too cocky and downloaded stuff you shouldn’t have. no worries though! I do think that there are some decent anti-virus software out there, I personally use Bitdefender, but there are many out there and you should really consider having one.
3. Adblock
speaks for itself
Sites, recourses, ect
1. Now, Pirating.
Here are the two Reddit threads I use (piracy for gaming has good tips on torrents and what to avoid to start out) (and r/piracy for when you’re ready to start diving into general stuff) I’ve tested out a lot of the links and such, and while some are dead and deleted threads most are in use. BTW Thepiratebay is used a lot for torrenting and is safe as far as I know. I use it for a lot of my pirating tbh and I haven’t had problems with it. check the comments of a torrent if you’re suspicious.
go fourth and never pay for stupid streaming sites or shitty anime pirating sites with too many ads!
