this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

For fucking real, I HAD PANIC ATTACKS BECAUSE OF THIS. Though to be fair I was also in a place where everyone expected you to be immediately better at everything than the average kid at that age, no thank you I already had ✨T R A U M A✨ from feeling responsible for the actions of my younger sibling. All caused by the fact that my dad near constantly guilt-tripped me making me feel useless if I didn't want to help(I still have an issue with needing to not be a burden every time I visit a friend or participate in anything).

...

I apologize for ranting at the internet.

My GF and I have discutions about this crap all the time, it makes no sense to us, like WHY are you so invested in this woman that is not your wife?!?!? Oh, you like her ok vs Because she has more sex appeal? Why is that more important than the woman who, I don't know, is willing to spend the rest of her life with you and will support you no matter what!?!?!

IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!

y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

:C

I’m so fucking sick of AI

AND MAYBE WE CALL HIM GREG OR SOMETHING.

So, it begins.

As a non-binary individual on HRT, the sweeping changes that were announced today have a direct effect on me personally, and on many of my friends and chosen family. LGBTQ+ and BIPOC allies are needed more than ever. Today is ONLY day one. Things are going to get a lot worse.

And to those who don't think it matters, that this is something that doesn't affect you or your loved ones personally? IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS BEING AFFECTED BY THESE CHANGES.

ALL of my official governmental documents have X listed as my gender currently. The new edict calls into question whether or not these documents are even valid anymore, depending on who you ask.

A lot of people said these changes would never and COULD never come. But we are here, now, the first day of (at least) four years and the ink is already drying on a new executive order. This country is growing more fascist and less democratic by the day. Do what you can to help your communities, to help the people you love.

Give people grace, give people the benefit of the doubt, and do what you can to support the people around you. There are way more of us than you may realize, and many people will be afraid to wear their pride in the coming times ahead.

We are tired, we are afraid, and we are angry.

We are here. And nothing is ever going to change that.

My door is always open, in case anyone needs an ear to listen or a friend to talk to.

Love you all.
