Hello. I learned two things while I was away.

1.) As they always should, Tacos give me hope. And TACO is a great way to fight authoritarianism. Couldn't know that before I left after the election.

2.) Leaving Mastodon burns your username on that server, so I can't use Cefr@beige.party ever again. So @sefr it is.

Other than that, this post serves as my bio. Hello! I'm mid 40s, living in a red state I keep trying to paint a tiny corner of blue, and former Technology Enthusiast. I'm hard at work de-Googling and un-Microsofting my life. Embracing off shore services. Rejecting AI. And reading any banned books I can on CRT, Queer Life, and Women's perspectives.

I try to be funny, though. Even if it's cringe or dad-jokey, so Beige is my home. I hope to catch up and get back into things but slower and less "soapbox". In fact, my posts auto delete after a month now. (Except this one.)

Follow back is not required. I will try to CW USPol because US is sucking all the air out of the world (and if you live abroad from the US, please do your part and uncouple your country's fate with America. Don't let us spread "freedom™️" and "Christianity™️" with a 3 year contract for anything. Fuck the US, save yourselves and neighbors.) Masc-presenting, but pronouns are any, and I will respect yours.

The Tech, asking the ultras: are you an effective team? To those using drones in Gaza to kill children. Every other politician, easily suckered by accepting the choice between a red pill to be plugged into a Treasonous and NeoNazi Trump or a blue pill to enjoy the free trade benefits of Genocide Joe. You were 🧠 by its FACE, the Fascists Automating Control Enforcement. It only takes two opposites to dance: "And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night." E.A. Poe #Oblivion #AiEcocide #CIP #ACE #NeoNaziMAGA

#BooksAgainstNormativity

Hey,
I'd like to start a collection of books, that are great eye-openers against normative concepts.

I have read 2 books so far, that I think fit:

#Ace by #AngelaChen: Maybe the standard work on asexuality and a great book to understand and question allo-normativity (allo(sexual) being the opposite of ace/asexual)

#Platonic by #MarisaGFranco: An homage to platonic partnerships and against romantic normativity or also allo normativity (allo(romantic) being the opposite of aromantic here)

I'm next looking for a book on #RelationshipAnarchy to add to the list. Is there like a go-to book or must read? Please let me know.

Also do you know of any other books, that fit into the collection? It can be about/against any kind of normativity, not just related to gender, relationships and identity.

I recently listened to an interview w/ Jasmin #Benoit about a study on neg. opinions on #asexuality in the #UK from February 2025.

It’s the same study that found that 31% WRONGLY believe asexuality can be "cured" (🤮). (kcl.ac.uk/policy-institute/ass)

Interesting to listen to, explains a little how studies are made. And asexual #research is RARE.

The funniest/saddest part is that researchers expected that aphobes would hide their #aphobia. No, they don't.

I had a really great #AroAce community evening today.

I learned about #RelationshipAnarchy and the #Smörgasbord and we discussed why people in amatonormative couple relationships, who turn from two "I"s into a "we" find it so hard to use "I-messages" in conflicts, but have no trouble using "you-accusations".

This pride month I want to learn more about different relationship types and possibilities and want to find a definition of "friendship" for myself.

Feel free to give me input.

"Happy #Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 " of course also includes everyone in the #aromantic and #asexual spectra, because to not feel sexual and/or romantic attraction in the "normal amount" accepted by society is inherently #queer.

Society at large is obsessed with sex and romance and thinks you're weird for not engaging in any of it, or not engaging in it in the "correct amount".

Society is wrong. It’s okay to not be #sex- or #romance-obsessed. It’s okay to be #aro and/or #ace.
