My family and I are staying at my aunts house for the night and she has cats :)) and I’m so excited because my moms allergic so we can’t have any but cats!!! :):)

I am from a small town, where most people know each other and will wave from across the street. Lived there a long time (most of my life), so the people I knew from school and the other parents who knew me then have probably noticed i'm one of the few adults remaining in the town who has never had a partner. I'm only out to two friends and my sister. Honestly, if nobody's asking, then I don't see the point of telling anyone else here. I feel no need for anyone here to know. They don't ask, so I don't tell.

Green (Edit cause I looked at the wrong word somehow)

Today, I've felt like whatever I try gets foiled. I try to go up river and all I got was thorns on my hand and back and water in my shoes. I decided to go on a different walking route at my dad's and as I was walking I realized just how beautiful it was. And here's today's sunset

This thread might be able to give you some answers: I'd also recommend checking the index threads in the World Watch archives. There should be sections in the thread of books we've managed to compile https://www.asexuality.org/en/forum/108-world-watch-archive/

True LOL

And their opinion of “my share” is “as close to 100% as I can get without exploding.”

I started questioning sexual identity when I was round 12 I knew I was not straight but the I did not feel I fit the label of Gay or Bi either. While I knew about asexuality I did not think I was asexual because for me it was just hard to tell. About 2 months ago I broke up with my boyfriend of a year. A large part of the reason we broke up was intimacy issues, I just was not super comfortable with intimacy and he had his own issues. It was after our breakup that had me start questioning where my issues with intimacy and sex came from. I initially though it stemmed from my body dysmorphia and

Following this because I am also curious. I do love fantasy and sci fi with ace rep—fantasy and sci fi are my favorite genres—but all the ones I’ve read so far also just happen to be YA. The Being Ace anthology is fantastic, don’t get me wrong, and I’m so grateful for it existing. However, it’s YA. Nothing against YA either; I just want to find ace rep books where characters aren’t high school teenagers/freshmen in college at this point. If I ever write a book I will be writing ace rep that is not in the YA demographic, haha. The only thing I can think of is Murderbot, but Murderbot is not hum

I want your name in my account. uh…..what?

Yes, the squirrels do seem to get their share of bird feed.

People are still getting it in high numbers and still getting hospitalized for it and dying from it, but because our economy/society requires a sustained belief/illusion that we need to be away from our homes under the watchful eye of an elaborate hierarchy for at least 40 hours a week to justify being housed and fed, the people at the top of the top of the hierarchy's hierarchy pushed these covid-minimizing messages to convince people of that. (And they LOVE to feed the whole "you're taking away our freedoms" sentiment because people couldn't go to the Novelty Hand Towel Emporium for two week

so i kinda see why some folk are looking back fondly on the pandemic. i know in my case, it's when i made a lot of positive changes in my life and took a lot of the steps to being my current self. i honestly loved that my schedule for a while was get up at 8. check in with the discord chat me and my friends had where we all had to check in at least once a day. out by 11 to ride my bike. come home and play pokemon for a while (i decided to play every pokemon generation in order) chat on the same discord call with my friends (we had an album club where we re-listened to albums from 15-

Something that bad hasn't ever happened to me I've been studying Mandarin and using GT to help over the last couple of years now. I don't think you'd get "anus" without providing some kind of context which made GT think that that was the kind of "opening" you really wanted.

Welcome! I wish you the best of luck with your podcast! It sounds like we're in a similar situation. I'm (she) married to my partner (he) and I'm ace(ish) and he's definitely allo.

@Olallieberrythere is a part of me that's feeling 😬 at some point, Google may mistranslate & give the equivalent of 'anus'...😅

I'm in the metro-Atlanta area and about to have to move to butthole nowhere middle-Georgia and NOT looking forward to it. I've only recently realized that I'd like to possibly attempt finding an ace partner and definitely friends, but I have zero expectations of that being possible where I'm going. I really do wish there were more of us, but what can you do?

The label doesn't really say anything about the cause, if a cause can even be known. You could stack labels if you wanted to ("placiosexual trauma survivor") but for those times when an explanation is really called for, I imagine it's probably already a situation where you could have a whole informative conversation about these highly personal things instead of just relying on a short-hand label.

Now I am wondering, whether people were behaving similarly after other big pandemic events, but a lack of research material might make that difficult to find out... Though I think there is something about such a mechanism, can't just remember were I heard something similar... But I think there was something...

门 is Simplified for door or gate, 門 is the Traditional version of the same character. But because of ambiguity, few single-character words are used in practical communication. 门口 "doorway" or 大门 "big (person-sized) door" are better for a door for people to walk through, and words for an access portal, hatchway or small (hand sized) door might be (respectively): 检修孔 舱口 小门 This is why using a more complete idea with more words when asking an automated translator program is better. The translation will contain the context. Complete sentences with qualifying adject

I will keep this in mind! Thank you!

@verily-forsooth-egads and @Olallieberry Thank you for your input! I'm glad that I can use simplified Chinese and they will understand it if I make it legible. Also thank you for the advice about writing something vague like 门. I'll try some more specific things now that I'm sure that simplified Chinese is understood by most. I definitely feel reassured that I'm not writing completed nonsense haha

☝🏽 As someone who only knows a little of the traditional writing system, I had no idea this meant door. I use 門
