[ID: A two-panel meme that starts with a school bus labeled "people trying to be arophobic in 2023" starting to cross onto railroad tracks. It is then forcefully shoved out of the way by a train labeled "the aro community" End ID]
For anyone who's not aware of what's happening

Things I shoulda known
I really should’ve known I was non-binary because I didn’t understand the binary at all, like I do, but it just was like a sock that never fit. When I did discover the term it made me a bit sad, but I had this huge wave of relief and was happy that I could finally be myself. All gender bathrooms are the best, no questions asked. Now onto my sexuality...I really shoulda known I was ace..I mean dude, I literally couldn’t say the word “sex” for years. I have a list of alternatives...quite literally. It’s funny cause one of my friends knew before I did. Now onto my romanticism...I never understood romance..but I was fully convinced that I was a pan/panro...I was really wrong. I hadn’t had well, any crushes (faked ‘em to a T). I found out I was demiplatonic and realized I have squishes on occasion (literally my besties...I love them so SO much...I wanna hang and talk philosophy with both of ‘em), and that I might not be as introverted as I thought. Imma get real existential real quick, but I really am grateful that in the little time that I’ve had on this planet, that I will never experience falling in love or sexual attraction because I’ll have a whole ‘nother experience than somebody else. I’ll change in different ways. My experience may not be common, but I’m grateful that I get to have it.
It funny how I was able to accept that I was ace, granted I was in denial about it for some time. Then I realized I was aro and was like...”NONONO...I know I have no desire to date anyone, but NONONONONONONOnonono....I haven’t dated anyone...I don’t know what a crush feels like, let alone attraction!!! I’ve never had any fantasies!!! Wait-...people fantasize ABOUT ONE ANOTHER?!! I wouldn’t date any stranger or my friends!!!” and then I had the most funny thought at a certain point (before I knew the term aromantic) and it was, “Well maybe if I move countries I’ll be able to fall in love!!!!”, and meanwhile when romance/sex would show up in media I’d be like “Where is the plot?! Why did we lose the plot?! People actually want this?! WAIT-?! Do people act like this?!”. I also thought people were just deadass lying when they said they experienced crushes in kindergarten, which they probably weren’t lying. I will say though I do love food. I mean pesto is an absolute god. Chocolate is amazing (though if don’t like chocolate that’s cool too, same with any other food). But bread...oh my god! I love naan, rolls, and most breads.
As an aromantic I do not experience romantic love like other people and would still hate it if I got eaten!!!
saw a post abt "if you must eat animals eat bugs not mammals and birds because at least bugs dont have the ability to love!!!" and ok first off, rude to bugs. lots of bugs participate in relationships we would recognize as similar to the ways we express love. and also i do not think that not experiencing human-y emotions makes an animal less deserving of life, that is weird. second off, you cant justify eating things by only eating shit that "deserves it" or doesnt meet ur alive-ness standards. theres no way to cut that off, everything is always more connected and mote aware and more interesting and more intelligent than we think it is. only way u are going to get not-experiencing food is if you eat fruit nectar honey eggs and mushrooms exclusively. plants are alive and they love each other and they enjoy their existences and experience a lot of complex things! there is no cut off of a living thing being a weird automaton that makes it non-living enough to be edible. you will always be eating a being. u have to get used to reciprocity. u are going to get eaten some day! u can make the world a nice place for other things that are eating each other and having a nice time! its ok. eat.
LIVE NOW: confused old man doesn’t recognise flag
