I think that, perhaps, I don’t exactly view Holmes and Watson in any sort of romantic relationship, but instead a close queer friendship. They do not have a romantic interest in one another, yet they’ll comfortably sleep in the same bed or be physically affectionate and cuddle with one another. They are each other’s worlds, though only platonically. Watson is able to love his wife while also holding a tender affection for Holmes, his best friend. (and vise versa… minus the wife for Holmes). They feel comfortable around one another to be ‘non-conforming’ in heterosexual terms, yet they would never persue anything further. Instead they find comfort in the fact only the other can understand their own affections, and just how much it means to them both.

Idk tho maybe that’s just me projecting my own experience in my own close friendships with same sex friends as an unlabeled queer person

What’s your favourite line from good omens?

The invisible and unbreakable one that joins Crowley and Aziraphale.

normalize having more than one best friend. "best friend" shouldn't just be a title reserved for one person... best friend is a species...

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

(tumblr post screenshot image: Aplatonic discourse is retreading aro/ace discourse.

You are not immune to exclusionism.

Loveless means even without platonic feelings. They are not exaggerating by "loveless". Even if you think it's necessary, who cares?)

Loveless does not inherently mean no platonic feelings. It does not even inherently mean no romantic feelings. It means none of those feelings are considered "love". You can experience loveless affection, attraction, and any other number of feelings. It's why "emotionless" is a distinct label from loveless.

APLATONIC means without platonic feelings. It's why loveless is an adjective in the first place. You can be a loveless aro, a lovequeer aro, a loveless apl, a lovequeer apl, a loveless aroapl, a lovequeer aroapl, and so on. You can even be an alloplatonic loveless aro or an alloromantic loveless apl or an alloplatonic lovequeer aro or an alloromatic lovequeer apl.

Obviously, exclusion of apl people is bad. We're aplspec ourselves and have been deeply hurt by it.

But not all loveless aros are aplatonic. Not all aplatonic people are loveless. If you say that loveless inherently means "without platonic feelings", you're saying that love is the only kind of feeling you can feel towards others, or perhaps the only type of attraction/affection (as differentiated from things you feel ABOUT others, like happy/sad/angry etc). You can have platonic OR romantic "feelings" without those feelings being love.

#holy shit #like. both for the situation and the response in entirely different ways #oh that all disabled people may have the confidence and self-respect and ability to do this stuff for ourselves whenever we need to #not described #disability

[corvidiss]

Kind of horrifying to know how often disabled kids (esp diabetic and asthmatic kids) have actually died in schools because they were required to have their life-saving medications locked away in a nurse's or principal's office because oh noez heckin drugs :((( School really is some totalitarian shit.
