I recently moved to the Central District in Seattle. From talking to people, it seems like the CD is where people my age move to if they can’t afford Capitol Hill. I am getting to know my neighborhood. Assessing safe paths to walk at night, figuring out my favorite Ethiopian…

i have no idea why people think demisexuals can’t have casual sex. you can form a strong emotional connection with someone and sleep with them without dating them.
I think this is a wording issue. I don’t regard friends with benefits as causal sex cuz of the emotional connection with them.
I’m probably using the word casual sex wrong.
well...

Why
Do I have to APPLY for jobs, though
Can’t they just give me the jobs
If I want them
I think that’s how that should work yes. I hate applying for jobs. They always ask a bunch of experience questions And I just ‘I babysit. Yeah I can cook shit kinda. I like organizing things so I could probably file shit. Am I hired yet or.’

Followers and friends,
If any of you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to hear about your experience sharing that you are a rape survivor with your family. I’ve been struggling with this a lot recently, and I feel that reading others’ stories would help me to feel less isolated in my experience. This was inspired by an ask I got just earlier today.

Chronic Illness is a Disability
fuckthedisabled:
Follow up to this question.
What is a chronic illness?
A chronic illness is any ongoing illness that one does not heal from in a short frame of time, if at all.
i.e.:
Broken leg? Nope.
Fibromyalgia? MS? Yes.
People with chronic illness or progressive chronic illness face pain and distress as a result of their condition and the negative societal...

Hitting children is wrong. Full stop.
If you can’t think of a better way to discipline a child, a tiny human who is smaller than you, you need to re-evaluate your approach.
There is NOTHING that a child, who is on the losing end of the power imbalance, can do that warrants striking them. Ever.
Children are an oppressed class of humans. They...
