I think it's a sign of progress that it's been many years now since I seriously thought "am I REALLY queer or have I just somehow tricked myself into thinking I'm queer while all along I've actually been straight??"
Existing as I have in the area of bi but also aromantic and somewhere on the asexual spectrum, it was hard for a long time to see my experience reflected in that of anyone else, which made me question my own sense of reality in a way I now find quite sad.
The other day I said to a friend, in bafflement, "can you believe I spent years questioning whether I was queer??" And she laughed at the absurdity of it. I'm glad that doubt is in the past.

The View co-host Sara Haines hit social media to issue a rare correction and clarify remarks she made on Wednesday criticizing the freedoms afforded to womenINBELLA
"As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or con- quered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to day- dream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate."

About an hour ago I bought the domain bronchiectasis.life because I'm having no luck connecting with a bronchiectasis org to use my t shirt designs, and I want to make t shirts, and they need a url because no one knows what bronchiectasis is. So I’m just making my own. Plan is to have a simple landing page with some very basic info and links to whatever on-demand printing service I use for my 3 bronchiectasis t-shirt designs.
Dreamhost offered to build a site for me based on one sentence ("information about bronchiectasis with links to t-shirts for sale") and I hit the "next" button and, well, it made this.
I can't stop laughing. It's 100% full of shit.
