  1. I learned that diabetes type one is an autoimmune disease. It was very interesting to me that I manage not to know this before now.
  2. Now I feel like checking out arctic monkeys again. I used to listen to some random songs of them back when I'd download stuff from limewire.
  3. I agree the blush and flustering doesn't have to be connected to an attraction. It could just be the way you feel when you're kissing.
  4. I agree. I think I'm the same.
  5. Great share thanks. In those instanses it's grown "animals" but it's still weird that they have these human female indicators while the males usually doesn't have any human body parts. I think part of it is the default male problem. Where a character is assumed to be male unless otherwise specified. And for some reason it's not ok to have any ambiguity.

  7. Cool topic. I rarely write non fiction apart from posts in forums but maybe I'll do one for the carnival at some point. How do one find what's the topic each month?
  8. Does everyone have to yell the same though? It makes sense to me that everyone would yell what feels best for them.
  9. Agreed. I'm gonna buy it if it's available for my ebook
  10. I personally never see this. But maybe it's because most Swedes kinda ignore each other so don't really care who loves who.
  11. Good article about friendships importance https://www.cbc.ca/radio/tapestry/just-friends-this-author-wants-us-to-rethink-the-way-we-view-platonic-love-1.6689272
  12. I feel like the relationships in the hunger games are a pretty aro mood. Katniss wants a friend to support and care for her in this very frightening life she's living but the boys keep Romo zoning her.
  13. Yeah it's very annoying! I also feel for other groups who have similar stereotyping done to them. For example aspec people. Imagine how much potential story there is if writers would explore outside the stereotypes and not just use these go to lazy tropes. Also the way many writers doesn't even seem to know how to write a character arc without some sex and romance escalator included.
  14. I was looking at pictures of a comic I read as a child and it occurred to me how strange the visual ques to indicate gender are in much of children's media. If the characters are animals like in this case it seems the go to method is to add eye lashes to the female characters. Even when its a child. When you think about it it's kinda weird. Human girl children doesn't have longer eyelashes than boys. I think it would be better to skip the lashes and just have the animal children have similar looking faces. What do you think?
  15. If aromanticism was your religion, which book would you swear on in court to symbolize this?
  16. The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
  17. @PhoebeFrogThanks for sharing
  18. That sucks, I'm sorry. If it helps you could consider that your friend also can not love you the way you want, non romantically, and it makes you feel bad. We always view romantic love as somehow more than platonic, but why couldn't you as well be sad about being put in the room zone? No one is to blame here.
  19. Updated from the fika. Everyone who was going to attend was sick except two people. We had a nice fika the three of us, drinking mulled wine, tea and eating ginger bread cookies and saffron spunge cake.
  20. Totally! There's a famous comedian and writer in Sweden Jonas Gardell who talked about this. I don't have the exact quote but he said something like "part of growing up is deciding what values you want to have"
  21. Sweden is so dark this time of year. I'm usually a pretty extroverted person but right now I don't feel the need to do much except the bare necessities. It doesn't feel bad though. I'm just hibernating waiting for the sun to come back. Tomorrow I'm having some friends and relatives over for a mulled wine fika.
  22. Your comment made me think about this song? Although it's joking more about the idea that everything French is sexy.
  23. How annoying! Just ignore them and they'll get bored with it eventually.
