lgbt, socialization
"
"trying out sex" is not how you confirm or deny your asexuality. it might help you decide whether or not you enjoy sex. it might even help you decide which gender you prefer to have sex with.
but it will not, under any circumstances, confirm someone's asexuality.
because asexuality is not about whether or not you like sex. it is about whether or not you experience sexual attraction.
stop telling asexual people to "give it a try"
stop questioning asexuals based on their sexual history or lack thereof
you are missing the point"

art
"fuck it. be creative even if you never really "make" anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and dont do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesnt have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it"

tolerance, socialization

"{1} conservatives will be like: why are you holding me accountable for my bigoted beliefs? whatever happened to tolerance???
{2} the response to that is tolerance is not a moral precept - it is a peace treaty. it is called a contract of cooperation, or at least, of non-interference
the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. it is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. a peace treaty is not a suicide pact
(bold added)
someone who's actively trying to oppress, belittle, exclude, or harm people based on their identities is not complying with the contract, so there's no reason to extend its protection to them

self compassion, mental health, trauma
"no one talks about how being happy and having things go your way is scary. if you've went through a whole life of chaos before. trying to fight my mind that's telling me i dont deserve it. i do deserve it. i deserve nice things, and a nice life. i deserve peace."
