do you mean fingering (yarn weight) or fingering (instrument hand position) or fingering (nsfw) or fingering (mispelled potato)

#music school was so fucking funny sometimes#I'd get told shit like I needed to work on my fingering or use more/less tongue and I had to listen with a straight face too#do you know how hard that was#do you know how fucking difficult that could be sometimes (@hjartasalt)

the truth is this post was originally inspired by that time when i, a clueless aroace, tried to explain my struggles with fingering and tonguing to a non-clueless non-musician, and they were just like... bro what

One time my teacher took my sheet music and wrote "CLIMAX" right where. Well. Where the climax of the piece was. And I wasn't allowed to laugh. How cruel.

Do you prefer to use a specific term like demi or an umbrella term like ace when describing yourself most of the time?

Specific Term

Umbrella Term

N/A (if you just want to see the results)

Kinda curious as to if people prefer to use the umbrella terms or not. Personally I tend to use umbrella terms (for me just ace) out of total laziness since explaining all the time is beyond tedious for me 🙃

i do have specific labels (aegosexual and demisexual) but for the most part i just call myself aspec bc its easier but still gets across that im not fully ace

Asexual people — how old where you when you found out you were ace?

I’m currently questioning whether I may be ace-spec, but I’m also still a young teen, and I don’t know if it’s alright to feel this way just yet.

im not fully ace im demi but i was Questioning being aspec since like 9th grade but didnt start fully id'ing as aspec until i was like. 18 also yeah like many people say its fine to change labels

For real though I may make jokes but YA is great and an absolutely valuable resource for tweens/teens and isn't completely represented by the love triangle romances it's become associated with (which tbh who cares if it does have that). YA includes Holes by Louis Sachar, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. And y'know I grew up reading a bunch of Sarah Dessen books, the Flowers in the Attic series, Thirteen Reasons Why, Twilight, Maximum Ride, etc etc and even though I probably wouldn't recommend those books now, they nurtured a love of reading that followed me afterwards!!! I'm grateful that people eventually realized that there is a tumultuous period between childhood and adulthood and gave that period of life a space in literature
