Sexuality talk
I'd describe my demisexuality as: asexual who wants to talk to everyone about sex and fantasies to pleasure myself but without the pressure to ever have sex with others.
Idea of sex with people > actual sex with people.
I'm always attracted to the IDEA and fantasy of sex, but hardly ever attracted to sex with someone.
Here is a bigger version of my profile picture. It's a mixed media illustration I did for a zine about systems and dissociation.

School has been really hard lately with all the isolation, so it was nice to find some way to express myself.

-thank my brain for telling me when i need to clean out my bubble--by dissociating or getting activated
-surround myself with people who love me and see me authentically ]
Academia~
Nvm I love statics, no need for help with that but I've forgotten literally everything from Dynamics.
Sexuality (not lewd), recovery from purity culture
Recently been realizing just how much healing I have left to do from being subjected to a particularly nasty and vehement strain of purity culture and sex-shaming in my formative years.
My own inner turmoil around expressing and acting on attraction is palpable to the very people I most wish to share it with, and it's heartbreaking.
I've run across a few odds and ends to help with this sort of thing over the years, but if anyone happens to know any decent resources - especially queer-affirming and/or trauma-informed ones - I'd deeply appreciate suggestions.

academia, edgy take
Academia is a scam to sell more academia. << this part isn't really very controversial IMO.
Here's an edgy take:
The gap between academic and non-academic thought and philosophy is damaging to the social psyche, enforces classist understandings of intelligence and denigrates the knowledge and experience of anyone outside of academia.
What does a holistic study of a subject look like? How can it be rooted in the experience of the world and not gate-kept.
I just recently realised, that proprietary social networks are not social networks but entertainment networks. That's why at least my friends have a hard time switching to mastodon or pixelfed. People expect to be highly entertained the first second they enter the network and kept that way all the time. Being confronted with a network that is stripped from all these addictive tools is a massive cultural clash.

Currently using this as my T blog, and a place to deal with figuring out my needs and wants thru second puberty (the first one wasn't terribly successful).

I'm studying engineering and will definitely be complaining about it like we've been married for about 9 years.
