I wish I was joking but that car is a $350.00 American Girl doll car.

brb, taping an X on my living room window as we speak

And yet I only have 3 steam friends.

the real heroes are internet commenters who are always here to remind us how much everyone sucks

I agree completely. I mean, technically, I guess I'm "homoromantic demisexual cisfemale"... but I that is the most ridiculous combination of adjectives ever. Maybe I'm too damn old.

Absolutely! Balancing competing standards of normativity, repressive traditions, and the infinite number of personal identifications makes having these conversations damn near impossible when it comes down to it.

I have sexual identity-fatigue. There are so many labels and categories to chose from nowadays, which is supposed to be a good thing, but it makes me so tired

I'm going to get flamed for this but I guess I don't care: The difference is the empowerment that a label gives to some people. It's like it validates them.

This is a sincere question: What differentiates the asexual/demisexual/etc. spectrum from just having varying levels of libido and/or thresholds of chemistry? I'm reading over these stories and it just doesn't sound like anything more complicated than having various levels of sexual excitability and compatibility. …

I feel that I'd fit into one of these groups, but I've never felt the desire to identify in any one particular way, though I understand that some people would like to in order to talk about their own personal experiences with people like them.

How dare you rob people of their snowflakery

Good question! There are a whole fuckton of us in this world. "Born-Again Celibate"? "Been There Done That Asexual"? "Already-Paid-My-Dues Grayzone"?

So what is the made up term for "I haven't dated in a really long time and haven't had sex in over two years but it's cool because I was a self-embracing slut in my youth and I have done pretty much everything on my sex bucket list so not much interests me and have come to the realization that a lot of times sex is…

It sounds "relatable" because most of what asexuals describe is just totally normal, average sexual interest and expression. For some reason they decided to borrow a bunch of concepts and terminology from queer usage but — at least from what I have seen — the majority of them aren't really outside the norm.

So he outright ripped off an old, famous image he'd seen online?

Hi. You're being an asshole.

You know who has really great skin? Beck.

She's a cosplayer. They're like exhibits in museums: great to look at, but you can't touch them.

Condolences. My dad passed away last month and my youngest sister took to facebook like it was her therapist. She absolutely had to prove she was the only child affected by his death. And even if her four siblings WERE affected, she was affected more.
