Thanks to everyone who has shared something this Ace Week. I've learned about a bunch of new authors to check out and have heard about experiences of aceness all across the spectrum.

And now, as this year's Ace Week comes to a close, I just want to share again my reflections from last year.

On my way to Edinburgh’s Pride march – as are a lot of other people on this bus

Happy Pride!

(Just annoyed that I left my headphones on my bed, so the noise is going to get to me! It already is)

They're cooking... menacingly

October 22-28, 2023 is Ace Week aka Asexuality Awareness Week. Each day, I will be sharing some of my journey through the books, songs, and #ttrpg characters that helped me figure myself out.

just saw a meme that said "it's june which means it's illegal to be straight"

this is all in good fun and understood as such

but at the bottom, blending into the background, this version said, "asexuals are OK but y'all are on thin fucking ice"

and that is not in good fun. or acceptable

for those who don't know, a lot of ace people are targeted with "corrective rape" not only in heterosexual contexts but within the queer community where the assumption is perversely that the problem was they just haven't had the right queer sexual experience yet and need it foisted on them (which is rape)

Now, this is a lot more fucking complicated than we're going to get into in this meme, but please do some reading so you don't repeat these sort of ideas that lead to horrendous actual experiences for actual people.
