i need you all to understand how absolutely fucking monumental beating someone by SEVENTEEN seconds in a swim race is. normally, in olympic swimming, all the swimmers finish within the same few seconds. notice how in the event replay, all the other swimmers are roughly in a line during the race… (admittedly, swimmers tend to finish further apart from each other in longer distance races, but not by that much.) people spend months, years of their lives doing brutal training just trying to one-up other swimmers by a single second, because that can mean a win. every hundredth of a second matters.
and then. imagine being ledecky and finishing your olympic race, sitting and waiting on second place to arrive for seventeen entire seconds.

I wish it was easier to find aro / ace / aspec historical figures.
there are quite a few examples of queer historical figures, because it's easy to point at a person and say, "their letters and their living situation makes it very very likely that they were romantically and/or sexually involved with this other person." it is much harder to find evidence of a person being aspec, since the lack of evidence of something doesn't mean that something isn't there.
not to mention, the aspec is so diverse and often abstract that it's hard to pinpoint what qualifies as aspec when the person themself isn't here to find a label that they want.
I just want someone to look at, to relate to, to prove that we've been here all along.
Yet another comic about leaving the Mormon church that can be applied to a variety of things. I also plan to include some version of this in a graphic novel I’m making.
