I actually love kinksters so much
Learning from every source in your life that sex is disgusting and sinful, that you should be ashamed of your feelings, thoughts and desires and then having someone in a dog mask tell you, "No, it's all cool, actually," is mind-blowing lol
In the comments seeing a lot of aces saying "Yeah I appreciate that kinksters are often accepting of ace people" and that is because there are many asexuals in kink! Sexual attraction or behavior is not essential to kink/BDSM.
My spouse and I are both a-spec kinksters who do a lot of Kinky Activities and exactly zero traditional genital-involving sex. I write about being nonsexual kinksters professionally as well.
"One funny thing: At most of the kink parties Selena went to, no one was doing anything that seemed to be sexual. People would say, 'I'm tying someone up, that's sex,' but much of the time it didn't seem to feel sexual and nobody could explain how this made sense. Was tying someone up really sex, or was it a rope and some trust? Selena didn't care about sex, but she did love rope, so it was unclear exactly what was happening here, and what she actually wanted.
Intimacy, it turns out. Selena cared about intimacy, and kink was a way for her to be intimate with others. Intimacy and sex are not the same. Intimacy can be in service of sex or sex can be in service of intimacy, or they can be completely separate..."

when I was like 14 I used to reblog these posts on here that were like "YOUR 20S ARE NOT AN IMAGINARY RACE YOURE DOING JUST FINE!!" just to be positive towards my older mutuals even though i didn't really get what they were about and I'd be in the tags like "#so true!! #everyone does things at their own pace!!" and now im 24 I'm thinking back to it and it's like Oh of course the imaginary race. Which im losing
the reason most anti bullying psa's completely fail is because they fail to identify why people bully others, and fail to identify that kids actually do internalize oppressive structures REALLY early on. white kids understand that racialized kids are easy targets, and white teachers either fail to catch racism or are racist themselves. non-disabled kids understand that disabilities are easy to pick on, kids recognize the sissy archetype very early on, boys internalize that girls are lesser than them, kids notice they can take advantage of autistic behavior, and it flies under the radar cause teachers offer little to no support to marginalized kids or outright victim blame them. "ignoring bullies" is a model that assumes bullies just want attention. we should instead assume bullies are taking advantage of others.

One of the hardest things to learn as a leftist is that there are a lot self proclaimed leftists that are actually totally cool with abusive social systems, they just don’t like that they’re the ones being abused. The solution to male supremacy isn’t woman supremacy, it’s no supremacy. The supremacy is the bad part. This line of thinking is how you get TERFS and the NOI

be concerned goner and drag path are in a circle and they are holding hands. it’s about wanting the other to know you even if you know you’re fucked and unloveable and you might never get better. clearly i am dying dearly i am writing / i wanna be known by you (don’t let me be gone) / i dug my heels into the gravel as evidence for you to unravel. this song is the only mark I will leave asking for you to save me. i’ll make you raise me from the dead / i need your help to take him out / can you find me (please hurry)? I know I am this way and I know you’ve been worried but I want to believe you still care. you are the pearl I am the swine / though I’m weak and beaten down / a sad sack laying on the surface. do you get what I’m saying!!

the city walls piano. can we talk about the city walls piano. can we talk about how those verses that were once sung with force, once meant to be intimidating, a promise, a challenge [square up with me, look at my team, I’m coming for you] now have their assertive energy stripped away but the desperation still remains. can we talk about how this reveals the entirety of city walls to be what its chorus and outro have always told us [I wanted you to show me, this is the last time] this is not a charge, none of this was ever a battle song, this is a lament sung by someone who is alone again, who already knows he is going to die but also knows there’s no turning back
