There was a tumblr post I saw that was talking about "I wish I could go on dates with people but without the romantic involvement" and people were like "That's just friendship" and other people were like "No it's this other really complicated thing with a new name" and, like, honestly?

Normalize the FUCK out of highly-emotional, loving friendships. We shouldn't need a new word for that. That's just being friends.

Design Thinking about sexuality in communities 

Re the current discussions about making friends in communities where open sexuality is common, I'm thinking about how we can do better with tools and values about communication.

So, I have a question for folks, especially those who feel they're not well-served in these communities currently:

What do YOU, personally, want others to know about your needs, regarding sexuality or lack thereof?

(Answers in DMs okay!)

@indi
is boosting OK?

queer community + sex 

I've seen this around a few places and I figure it's worth being explicit about:

You **do not** need to have sex with me or do kinky things with me or cuddle with me to be my friend. I promise, I won't think of you as less good because you say "no".

I do want to be clear though, I _am_ a sexual being and I _am_ a very kinky person, and both of those are big parts of me, and I don't think they can be fundamentally fully separated from my identity. Everything intersects.

@vahnj @Felthry i have no idea why this doesn't work, but i'm just going to not worry about it. thank you for trying! i might bash my head against it again later and take a look at the source to figure out what needs doing there.
