The Dire Straights podcast did an episode on this exact thing that dropped today!

Today's lunch doodle is familiar, if you change your perspective by about 180° 😉 "It's been fun." "Yeah." #tsukutabe #funariart

Thanks for enjoying them! 😄 But yeah. That's me, I don't drive the ships, I CARRY them 💪🏽😤 #funariart

Me when AVEN reposts my post:

#yuri (I forgot the tag) But yes! Follow me for a specific fandom AND/OR the fact I draw/talk about ladies all the time! 🤣

Why you should join the Tsukutabe fandom: We have - asexual lesbian representation 🍰🏳️‍🌈 - great food 🍱 - slice of life fluff 🐻‍❄️ - feminism 💪 - a yuri that doesn't take place in high school 🏢 - and more! 🫶 Please check out the manga or drama! ❤️ #Tsukutabe #yuri #wlw #asexual #lesbian #manga #jdrama

Sigh. Can we please stop equating people not having sex with asexuality and with being inherently asocial or aberrant? That would be great, thanks. Signed, an actual asexual person.

Having an identity crisis at night be like:

Late night watching a bit of youtube while prepping recs for the #AspecReadingBingo launched by some cool peeps over on Instagram. Just.. yknow.. getting ready ahead of time XD www.instagram.com/p/DRr1JSwjNw...

Ich bin aromantisch genug das ich liebeslieder/break up songs auf nicht romantische freundschaften übertrage :)

Every once in a while stoße ich im Internet auf Konversationen, in denen Leute über Liebe ohne den sexuellen Aspekt schreiben und andere dann antworten: "Ist das nicht einfach nur Freundschaft?" Und jedes Mal frage ich mich dann, wie viele Menschen wohl aromantisch sind, ohne es zu wissen.

Rat inspired by the Asexual flag! - #rat #asexual

I'm sorry Takahashi, you did WHAT to the lid? It broke into shards? 💔

It sure is alienating to be aroace which means you can't even join the conversation, poor young Sakuko. At least she had cake 🍰

There are two important takeaways from Koisenu Futari: 1. Family can be whatever we define it to be. 2. Cabbage is life.

Final scene screencaps from Koisenu Futari because I'm thinking about it now:

I may be not transfemme, but I do look up to a couple of them I know. Why shouldn't I, if these women have changed my life for the better?

Gonna translate in this thread because it's important to me. 🧵 "Asexuality and Aromantic Often is it said that feelings experienced during sex and other tender touches are the most beautiful and intensive. But not all humans feel that way.

The scene for those who are wondering what I'm talking about:

I keep debating in my head if I should research this topic or not. Is it possible to detach a wagon from a highspeed train going 120 km/h and then attach a second wagon of the same type? If yes, how so? Speaking of electronics, what's required for such an unsual task? (1/2)

I wish you could edit posts to remove typos on this platform🙃

Edgy Dudes™ being like "You just don't understand my humor style" but everything "funny" they say is just . . . Racism

The time has come! Today is our Table of Content announcement for COMMON BONDS 2! You can get all details directly on our Kickstarter Update: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cla... But I'll also thread them below!

There was a time in my life where I had to live in my family with a man (not my dad) who I could not get along with from the start. My mom would react strongly to the few times I spoke out, but really, she too was suffering from that relationship with said person. (1/2)

They would like a new hat probably, so we would go shop for one. After we can leave said room of course

My father was never in touch with any feminists, yet he managed to raise me with the core ideas of it and I'm glad he did. Without his advice, I would have never dared to study electrical engineering and essentially, to dream. Danke Papa 🫶

What is this, SOCIAL COMMENTARY in our BIOLOGY books?! 🤩

NO FUCKING WAY THEY ADDED A WHOLE SECTION ABOUT AROS AND ACES?

Seed? But it's already frosty here!

Did you know the drama was not approved for the russian audience? That is, because of the frequent use of the russian word for "b*tch". #Tsukutabe (Wait, they don't say "сука" all the time?)

I am truly grateful how far the resources around aromanticism and asexuality have come today Back then when I was a teenager, a friend mentioned the word "asexuality" irl. When I looked it up online, I found exactly what I needed to know. I was 15 at the time SO MUCH confusion and selfhate avoided

I need A house full of aroace friends bc houses are too expensive to afford by myself nowadays and that way we can have fun group trips and nice hangouts and stuff 🥺

Zum Thema nein sagen: ich war letztens mit der S-Bahn unterwegs als es schon dunkel war. Da spricht mich ein seltsamer Typ (sprich mein Bauchgefühl für Gefahr) am Bahnsteig an und fragt nur: "Kann ich mit dir sprechen?"

Liebe ist Omas Gugelhupf zu essen 🍰

Hey so I just published my ~2000 word sfw fic titled "Stargazers" on the topic of Tsukutabe, feel free to read and comment! ❤️ archiveofourown.org/works/74358381

Am I crazy or did NHK use the same supermarket for both Tsukutabe and Koisenu Futari? It would make sense to do that

made a lil tumblr post on amatonormativity and pursuit culture and defending people who are "oblivious" about receiving sexual or romantic interest. if that interests you for some unfathomable reason, I hereby present:

Ich wusste nicht, dass es den Aspec*German Account auf Bluesky gibt?!? bsky.app/profile/aspe...

Very interested in the results of this workshop 👀 🖤🩶🤍💜 laurin.tirpitz.me/event/acewor...

Ich bin gerade auf das Buch „[Un]sichtbar gemacht. Perspektiven auf Aromantik und Asexualität“ von Annika Baumgart und Katharina Kroschel aufmerksam geworden. Ich habe noch zwar kein Blick reingeworfen, wollte aber unbedingt für euch es mal hier verlinken: aktivista.net/2022/02/20/e...

All I needed today was a smiling Takahashi 🦀 #KoisenuFutari

I love the moment in episode 22 of Tsukutabe where it goes full circle. Nomoto watches a lesbian film with english audio and japanese subtitles, while I'm here watching a japanese lesbian drama with english subtitles ❤️🩷🤍💛🧡 Representation matters! 🏳️‍🌈 (And many thanks to Furritsubs for the subtitles!)

Hello. 💚 I just published something that talks about this more on my Substack. If you want to read some passionate aromantic rant (?) or want to maybe learn more about how amatonormativity can affect connections, aromantic people and whatnot, here you go:

I made 2 folding art storage boxes to store my paintings in. Since I started in June I've been saving my art in a dresser drawer, so I built these that can be stored on a bookshelf.

I love yuri, there's so many wonderful manga about romance between women that tell some incredible (or simply sweet) love stories But I ADORE aromantic and/or ace girls in yuri! As an aroace himejoshi lesbian, I ADORE aspec characters in yuri manga, so here's a 🧵 compiling a bunch of those:
