Someone had to do it

It's almost like - and stop me if I'm going too fast - but like - and forgive me for being a complete radical - but people can wear clothes without being - and I apologise for being a disgusting revolutionary - without it being sexual.

Fun fact: ace people can wear clothing which can be interpreted as sexual despite being ace.

Just because someone has skin showing doesn’t mean they want to have sex. Thinking that sexual seeming clothing means someone wants to have sex is…kinda just really weird

this also applies to allo people (duh) but there was some stuff at the time going on with ace people so this post was primarily focused on ace people

I think it's worth saying that the seemingly cold and detached phrase "of no fixed address" is actually really useful. Because that is one of the deepest problems. Yes, having to live exposed to the elements and having no secure place is the greatest risk to your health, there's no denying that.

But without a fixed address, you can't get benefits, you can't get a doctor, you can't access any government services, you can't get a bank account, you can't get a job. Being "of no fixed address" absolutely cuts you off from society, and that should be kept in mind.

Me: I guess I was technically homeless for awhile as a kid, but we weren't, like, really homeless? After we got evicted from our rental house, we had to stay in a small industrial warehouse that was being rented for storage by some family friends. Like, it sucked, and I wasn't allowed to go outside, and it was a huge secret I had to keep from everyone at school because my parents were terrified I'd be taken away by CPS, and if the cops or property owner had found us we definitely would have been in trouble, but, like. We had a roof over our heads. Does that count as homeless? I dunno.

My friends who have genuinely never been homeless, ever: ....that is not normal, holy shit!?!?!?!?!

Me: ...okay so I guess I was homeless, then.

Anyway, this is a reminder that homelessness encompasses more than just "lives in a box under an overpass." Like, yes, that is definitely a real experience with homelessness, but it isn't the only one. Homelessness can look like couch surfing, living in your car, living illegally in a rented storage unit, living in a tent at a campground, living in a motel room, or any number of other things.

(Also, impostor syndrome around homelessness is just about the weirdest feeling in the world, tbh. The "was I suffering enough to say I was suffering?" thoughts are eternal.)

"piper at the gates of dawn" is slightly too metal of a name to come from Wind in the Willows. like, that should have been an unknowable figure from the Great Time War

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix

In this sonification of Perseus. the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center. (source)

yes, I make sex jokes. sex is a joke to me.

‘Why do you make sex jokes if you’re asexual? Doenst that mean you want sex’

Bestie I can make jokes about being impaled on a spike medieval torture style, doesn’t mean I want to

i've been watching Community 5 straight episodes. if I'd died while choking over the morning donuts joke, even Netflix wouldn't have noticed yet

i'm out here making comedic references to revelations and farmfoods in the groupchat and these guys just aren't picking up what i'm putting down. where are my audience?

i've been in marketing two months. every day i ask the same question: "how is that south african twat going to fuck me today?"

so it's been a long fucking day and then your mate dies, but then gets up and catches fire but it looks like Skyrim healing. you'd shit yourself and die before he turns into another guy with amazing floofy hair.

why has no advertiser picked up Jim Howick to literally be a shouty man. i mean, Flash got Brian Blessed.

as a genderfluid person, i felt this in my bones. sometimes i am a man, sometimes i am political. whenever i am a woman, i am a political statement. my very existence is a stand against the system. it's fucking exhausting.

Reddit wins this one

[Image ID: post from Reddit thread r/thelastofus titled "When is a gay relationship on screen not "political propoganda?""

Post reads: "It's the same criticism I see levied at the last episode over and over again. "I'm fine with gay people, but keep politics out of my entertainment."

I'm genuinely curious. How in the holy hell is a gay relationship pictured on screen inherently "political?"

It's maddening man. I'd prefer they just come out and say what they're actually thinking."

User catnap_kismet replies: "there are two sexualities, straight and political. there are two genders, male and political. there are two races, white and political. etc".

This reply has many awards and 1.2k upvotes
