Since I’m seeing people spreading misinformation (again, shocker) about this let me make this clear to people:

the prefix allo- means different, other, nonself, or as Lexicon Library.LGBT puts it “not relating to oneself”.

so allosexual and alloromantic basically mean “I am attracted to other people sexually/romantically.”

I know it has multiple meanings but this is clearly the one that is meant here.

I’ve seen people say that the different/other is allo people and the term is saying they’re different/other to aspec people and is therefore an othering term to people who are allo, and that is just blatant misinformation that I’m 100% certain was spread by aphobes trying to push the narrative that people who identify as aspec think we’re better than everyone else (especially other queer ppl).

Whether you realize it or not you are being manipulated by aphobes to help demonize aspec people so please stop spreading this misinformation and saying things like “I don’t want to be called allosexual because it’s othering” and making us want to die, it’s literally just the opposite end of a spectrum, it’s not anything to be bothered by unless you’re bothered by acknowledging the spectrum exists

Please reblog this so people see it.

Allosexual aromantics are not ‘predatory’.

Allosexual aromantics are not 'creepy’.

Allosexual aromantics are not 'shallow’.

Allosexual aromantics are not 'bad’.

Allosexual aromantics are not 'wrong’.

Allosexual aromantics are not 'impure’.

And if you disagree you can go suck an egg. (/reference)

here’s an idea: notice toxic trends in your behavior and, idk, change them

the fact that people are complaining on this post that they can’t change their behaviors that hurt others because they have x mental illness and We Can’t All Be Neurotypical Karen is absolutely fucking wild. do you realize your arguments have come full circle to being indistinguishable from the most crude, generic “mentally ill people are inherently dangerous and/or abusive” ableist rhetoric? you always have the agency to address the ways in which you are hurting others (or yourself). maybe not instantly. maybe not effortlessly. but it IS within your abilities and it is something you owe to your community and yourself

1. The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

Essun comes home one day to find her husband has killed their son and kidnapped their daughter. She must journey through a broken and war-torn world to find and save her daughter, all during the collapse of the all-powerful empire that has ruled over the world for a thousand years.

5-star review: “This book is spectacular — smart, clever, well crafted, well timed, full of great characters and great scenes. I love fantasy but it lets me down a lot. Sometimes I feel it’s the same plot rehashed, over and over. The Fifth Season is unlike anything else I have ever read.” —Jamieson

2. Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi

Set in ’92 Los Angeles, Ella has what she calls a “Thing” — an ability to see things that haven’t yet happened. Her older brother Kev wants to protect Ella from herself — but after he ends up incarcerated, she struggles with her ability to confront the past and the future, knowing that a revolution might be the only way toward progress.

5-star review: “Onyebuchi’s writing is stunning. His evocation of American history, in all its messiness and filth, will blow you away. I don’t know what else to say about this book except that it sets a new standard for the subgenre of urban fantasy.” —Gin Jenna

Anyways if you’re Palestinian and need to see other Palestinians speaking to feel sane again, I recommend checking out thepalestinedirectory.carrd.co for a directory of free to access links for and about Palestine by Palestinians — a couple of friends of mine started it and I would really appreciate it if you could share Palestinian led sources when discussing Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Please stop sharing zionist propaganda and lending them credence by amplifying their words.

I’m in love with the way Wyll describes Astarion in his confrontation dialogue about Player!Astarion being a vampire.

“A lesser man might sever that well-coiffed head from your neck. Good thing for you I’m not such a man. Besides - not even the Blade of Frontiers is immune to your not-inconsiderable charms.”

He’s like “you have pretty hair and you’re charming so I won’t kill you.”

Some misc. Wyll facts I collected while browsing his dialogue files like a madman

• If Wyll dies and you ask his corpse what is ultimate goal is, his response is “Freedom from Mizora”.
• Wyll’s mother died when he was born. Growing up, he was so close with his father that he never felt like he needed anyone else, but as an adult, he’s questioned what it might have been like had she lived.
• Wyll does not consider himself a man of faith - in fact, he resents “the so-called good gods for tolerating the curelty of the evil” - but rather believes “the faith that matters is that which you hold in yourself, in the ones that most matter to you.”
• More than one devnote reveals Wyll intentionally tries to downplay his emotions. Example: “Not too sad outwardly even though he is.”
• Wyll’s father trained him how to use a rapier, sword, and bow.
• Wyll uses “a light spritz from a vial of jasmine dust” as perfume.
• Wyll considered dukes to be hypocritcal for their diplomacy with bad people.
• When Wyll was a young boy, he was smitten by Stelmane.
• When Wyll was eight, he snuck into the Counting House to see if the rumours of mythical treasure it held were true. The guard spotted him and took him straight back to his father.
• When Wyll was fourteen, he had his first alcoholic beverage, and got so tipsy from wine that he puked in Dillard Portyr’s bushes.
• Wyll had his first kiss in The Blushing Mermaid when he was fifteen.
• Wyll claims he’s spent some time in the Underdark in his adventures as the Blade.
• Wyll says he’s killed a vampire-spawn before, when Player!Astarion confesses he’s one himself.
• Wyll claims his toughest kill was a minotaur, and one of his scars is from the battle.
• Seven years prior to the game, he made his pact with Mizora to defeat the Cult of the Dragon, and was disowned and exiled from Baldur’s Gate by his father. He was seventeen at the time.
• Five years prior to the game, he took on the mantle of the Blade of Frontiers, after rescuing a child from a band of goblin attackers near the Cloakwood.
• Karlach calls Wyll her best friend.

Shoutout to the people who stan female characters who the entire fandom hates for being neurodivergent and/or having trauma responses. We are stronger than the rest

If you make a verbal agreement with someone, send them a follow-up text, email, letter, fax, telegram, carrier pigeon message… literally anything that you can have a duplicate of for the record so they can’t “accidentally forget” later on.

Do this with everything work-related. Seriously.

Do it if you’re a parent having a meeting with your child’s teacher, especially if it’s a meeting about an IEP or an issue.

Do this if your manager asks or tells you to do something unethical, or asks you to break labor laws.

“Hey, Brian, thanks for the policy refresher today. I just need to confirm that you want us to clock out and keep helping customers if we get to our scheduled hours but there are still customers in the store?”

“Hi Mike! Thanks for your time today. I just want to summarize our most recent meeting to be sure we’re on the same page. [Summary]. If I’ve misunderstood or missed anything, please help me out! Thanks so much.”

“Hello, Mr. Thomas, Thank you for meeting with us today to discuss Cat’s IEP. I appreciate you bringing your concerns about implementing her IEP to us, and as I understand it, you’ll be reaching out to support staff to ensure you’ll be able to provide Cat the accommodations detailed in her IEP. When should I expect to hear back from you with an update?”

“Hi Jessica, thank you so much for helping me file for FMLA today. As I understand it from your explanation, the first 5 days are regular Paid Time Off, and after that it’s FMLA with short-term disability coverage. Did I understand you correctly?”

“Hey Dad, thanks for helping me today. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow to finish up the job.”

“Hey Mark, thanks for switching shifts with me, I’m working your 9-4 and you are working my 2-10 tomorrow. I cc’d Britney just to make double sure that she knows who to expect!”

These little notes will save your ass.

Okay, lots of folks asking “INSTAGRAM DOES THAT!?”

And yes, it does:
