october

It was October, and I was happy

because October is my favorite month

and it was raining

because I’m a fan of generally bad weather.


I was tired of all the hot, dry, merciless heat,

and had been counting the days for the rain

to come to town, knock on my door,

let itself in, take its shoes off and put on a kettle of tea–

chai, warm to the touch and spicy to the taste,

because it was cold outside and rain needs to be warm

sometimes, too.


I waited until the day when the rain came in,

sat down on my worn-out, blue

armchair, stretched itself out and said,

“By the way, thanks for not using an umbrella

or a hat or your hood. I know I got you wet,

but it’s nice to know that you appreciate my work,

because how insulting is it when you put all this time

into trying to hydrate the world and then people

just try to block you with umbrellas and raincoats?“ Then I said, “You’re welcome. I know

how you feel, and also, I’m a big fan of yours.” In this moment, I realized that not only

am I a fan of generally bad weather,

but that I am a hater of generally good weather, too.


Maybe that’s why the sun never comes to visit.

well october is going great so far. me thinks ??

hey so riddle me this exclusionists:

how tf can you continue to insist that “allo” is a slur but then wield “aceys” and “asexies” as if they’re harmless jokes? IMHO, aceys and asexies are being used much more consistently as slurs than allo; which actually serves a REAL purpose linguistically whilst aceys and asexies exist purely to harm us. I’ve only ever seen allo used (seemingly) genuinely offensively twice but aceys and asexies are used to PURELY offend all. the. time. 

but of course, it never counts if it’s against us aceys amirite?!?! 

asexies is a slur now

never said it was but i knew jerks like you would jump on my post and insist that’s my argument. 

to be clear, my point is this:

none of them are in fact slurs but allo(romantic/sexual) gets called a slur for the exact same reasons that the words “aceys” and “asexies” were actually explicitly created: with the intention of harming the entire aspec community. i’m saying that this is transparent, hypocritical, and aphobic as fuck and it’s gotta stop now.
