Friendly reminder: it's good to be assertive, but it's not good to be aggressive, and there's a not-so-fine line between assertive and aggressive, and you cross that line (nay, yeet yourself deep into aggressive territory) the moment you decide other people's boundaries don't matter. Assertiveness is a good thing, but assertive people also take others into account and try very hard to not cross others' boundaries. Be assertive, not aggressive.

Serious re: Technically lewd but not really, silly 

Doesn't have to be physical intimacy either

Sex can be idly chatting with someone about your weird kinks

(And of course it can also NOT be sex. It's a vibes thing)

Serious re: Technically lewd but not really, silly 

I do unironically think that sex is simply "what feels like sex to you"

If you're doing something that does not involve genitals but still makes you feel very good and intimate with someone, I don't think there's any contradiction in calling that sex

Yknow the sandwich alignment chart? I'm "radical sandwich anarchy" but for sex

I mean, we might as well have. Nothing else was going on and the facility's staff was happy to have the nine extra sets of hands helping move people

Today in Aura's clinicals misadventures, we broke the rules and left the facility in order to take the old people in the nursing home to the town's homecoming parade! So, you know, that was fun!

A new article from me:
I’ve been around for decades of discourse about the GIMP, and it’s high time to retire this conversation forever. I’ll contribute my last word on it:

There used to be such an interesting theme ecosystem for stuff. There used to be constantly interesting and innovative window-manager and DE themes. WinAmp existed.

And not just themes. Music players had visualizers, and an active community producing new and interesting ones. There used to constantly be new screensavers pushing the capabilities of new hardware/OS facilities/etc.

These things are just... gone. Stagnant, or completely removed.

I tried for S2, but it turns out I misdrop a lot more on real hardware :blobcatmlem:

Me: "That's Italian!"
Mom: "It's still British!"

maybe gender labels are not for you to assign to others regardless of whether or not you are a trans woman on the internet
