I think people who consider aromanticism as "basically straight" underestimate how noticeable absence can be to those around you.

Whether you're a kid in school with classmates who won't take "no one" as an answer to who you have a crush on or an adult whose coworkers have picked up on the fact that you've never mentioned a romantic partner; after enough time, a lack or insufficient amount of romantic interest will raise the antennae of friends, family, coworkers, etc... They will notice and they will speculate and they will ask.

It is impossible to meet the societal bar for straightness through inaction.

Marinades are easy and you can do them too. I’ll prove it to you. All you need is four things

1. Salt for flavor and keeping your object of marination moist

2. Oil or fat to carry the flavors. Any cooking oil or fat will work but use one that has a flavor you like for your dish. You can use olive oil, plain yogurt, canola oil, chili oil, whatever works.

3. Acid to help the flavors penetrate the surface. Something like vinegar or juice from an acidic fruit like a lemon would work. Alcoholic beverages or cooking wines can also be used in some recipes.

4. Flavorings. Whatever adds the flavor you want. Could be herbs, juices, spices, sugar, sauces, whatever works.

You can whisk or shake the marinade together. If there’s sugar or other things that only dissolve with heat you might whisk it on low on the stove until it dissolves.

Then put it on your thing and let it sit in the fridge for an hour to a full day depending on how much marinade flavor you want. Meat, veggies, tofu, even boiled eggs. All can be marinaded in whatever delicious flavors you want.

Some marinades leave out one of these components or work a little differently but if you’re making your own without a recipe these are the basics.

Took me years to understand the "why the long face" punchlines to "so a horse walks into a bar" jokes because I just thought that's a normal sized face to have if you're a horse. It never occurred to me to judge a horse by the standards of man

The real thing with ADHD is not "I forgot", but that forgetting is this ongoing process. I remembered! And then I forgot.

At ten this (hypothetical) morning I remembered that I have a meeting at six. And then from 11 through 3 I worked on other stuff and had zero thoughts about that meeting. Maybe even thought about what I was gonna do with my evening at home. Got attached to the idea of taking the time to make a good dinner, maybe play some video games.

And then at three I said, "Oh! Fuck!" and remembered again, hopefully long enough to set an alarm. And then I went to the bathroom and remembered that I need to clean the counter and spent twenty minutes cleaning the bathroom and went to get a snack and then at five I said, "OH! FUCK!" and had to scramble to dress like a real adult and get out the door.

It isn't one clean forgetting. It's a constant process of forgetting and then, with an exhausting adrenaline spike, remembering. And then forgetting. Baby, I can forget the same thing more times in a day than you ever forgot your parents' anniversary.

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made
