In case you're looking to spread some Christmas cheer, the greatest gift I could get rn is some help to get my dream queer game funded slowly but surely 🫶🥹 #VNDev #indiedev #gamedev #queer

The holidays are a time for love, happiness, and our favourite cheesy #Christmasromcoms 🎄 But they often reinforce questionable ideas about #love and #relationships. So should we stop watching them? Find out here 👇

This conversation with aspec sex educator Aubri Lancaster @acesexeducation.bsky.social was a really enlightening one.

For people new to my Patreon: -Moonlit Silence - The aromantic love story I am writing set in an omegaverse universe. What happens when an asexual aromantic omega finally meets his alpha? BL and Dark genre story. (First chapter is free.) www.patreon.com/collection/1...

In Memory of Matt Mason I first met Matt Mason in the fall of 2024. At the time, we had an ezine called A Bite of Pride, and he had applied to be a staff writer. Since we were both on the asexual spectrum and emphasized how horror can be healing and cathartic, we hit it off immediately! Since…

I think its insane that there are people IN queer communities that say the same "maybe you just never had good sex before" or "maybe you just need to find the right person" whenever they see an asexual person like come on you should be better than that

📢 New global study across 122 countries shows young people are redefining sexuality. Led by Dr @francescorampazzo.com @socialstats.bsky.social, using data from 900k+ users, it finds rising identities like queer, pansexual & asexual among younger generations. www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/y...

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT SERIES 🔦 : Claudia Sterbini, whose PhD traces the history of asexuality through the construction of ‘nonsexuality’ in fin de siècle sexology and literature. Check out her new article on non-sexual patients and doctors in The Island of Doctor Moreau: academic.oup.com/jvc/advance-...

"Your aspec identity is everywhere in who you are, and when you can see it that way, everything you are and do is linked to that experience. It gives you a lot to celebrate and be grateful for."

my last show is tonight 😢 comedybar.ca/shows/studio... (I mean I will almost certainly do more musical improv in the future but have no current concrete plans to do so)

I have so much to say about the discourse being forced--no pun intended--on Black asexuals right now, but I'm not home yet. Just know I'm fucking pissed, and I'm not mixing words. #blackaces #blackace #blackasexual #blackaromantics #asexuality #asexual #aroace #acearo #aromantic

🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our monthly new release call! We are looking for queer books releasing any time during January 2026. Self, Indie and Trad published books are accepted! 🧵

I won't get further into it - but for all my aromantic friends, followers, mutuals, and otherwise please go check out this video. or if you just want to learn more at aromanticism. 🖤 youtu.be/8zomXm7O3Os?...

voting for the #IndieInkAwards is open! i'd be so grateful to y'all for showing this book more love and voting for it. i think it's especially deserving of ace rep, best cover, side character MVP #QueerAdultSFF #IndieAuthor #booksky #romancelandia 🌈📚 indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

Some good news for Australian aces: a local pharmaceutical company recently attempted to have their HSDD "treatment" added to the PBS, and FAILED. See my initial thoughts + link to the PBAC outcomes below.

Had a Consult today that ended up being a sales pitch. First time this has happened, so I guess it was due. But, I was really hoping for at least a small commission today. So I'll use this to remind you that my consults are 50% off through the end of the year! 💜 calendly.com/aubrilancast...

Anyone else tired of romance being framed as the “main storyline” while friendships are seen as side quests? Scarleteen volunteer T. Aquila is tired with you. In their debut piece, they break down amatonormativity—what it is, how it shows up, & ways to push back. www.scarleteen.com/read/relat...

The @dailymail.co.uk just reported on my research. But their framing is wrong. Lesbian identities aren’t “dying out.” So-called “new” identities (like pansexual, queer, asexual, etc.) aren’t “replacing” older ones. They’re adding to the ways people can plug into queerness.

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

The #Asexual #Ace Axolotl Pin! 🖤🩶🤍💜 www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

📅 January 5–7, 2026 📍 Victoria College 🎥 In person/livestreamed What does it mean to do asexual history? This three-day conference bridges early modern studies and asexuality studies to explore compulsory sexuality, disability, race, and queer histories. 👉 More info crrs.ca/crrsevents/e...

Sharing this joy at the intersection of asexuality, transmasculine existence, and writing desire/intimacy in the most personally pleasing way!

Even though we work on KOSA everyday, we didn’t know what bills would be in last weeks’ markup until 48 hours before the hearing. This is the strategy- ram bills through before the public has had time to know what’s going on. But you can always count on us to sound the alarm 🚨

Omg idk who nominated Child of the Moon but thank you! I did have to ask them to remove the bi rep nomination since it's not apparent anyone is bi in book 1 but the rest is still vote-able! So please do! 🌈📚🌈💜💙📚 Vote here: indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

Brief announcement: This group has successfully merged with @leikeliscomet.bsky.social's Black and Mixed Aces group. I already closed the discord but have decided to close this account as well. #blackaces #blackace #blackasexual #blackaromantics #asexuality #asexual #aroace #acearo #aromantic 👇🏾👇🏾

the urge to directly respond to #biblicalwomanhood with #asexualpersonhood but also the urge to just live your life unbothered by having to prove yourself inside me there are two frogs

#Booksky We’re hearing that Heather Rose Jones’s wonderful aromantic retelling of Beauty and the Beast, THE LANGUAGE OF ROSES, is a nominee for the Indie Ink Awards! Congrats, @heatherrosejones.bsky.social! And if you don’t have a copy yet, it’s on sale at Smashwords! indieinkawards.com

This weekend is the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. Is CBS dedicating any time to that? Of course not. They’re promoting Erika Kirk’s town hall. They’re platforming a woman who’s husband said that some children being shot to death was an “acceptable price” for the second amendment

For this book, I wrote an essay about "How to GM Romance" when you're asexual - because I'm asexual and find it frustrating to live in a world where sex and romance are an assumed and “necessary” part of any meaningful relationship. I'm SO happy you can all read this now. 🫶

For Follow Friday I'm sharing one of my larger starter packs! There is still plenty of room, check out these amazing artists, and if you want to be included share your art in the replies. go.bsky.app/9Gnezp3

Asexuality is a global identity. That’s a major finding in a study I recently published with @francescorampazzo.com in Demographic Research. Analyzing dating app data spanning 162 countries from over 900,000 users, we found that asexuality showed up in every age group and in every region.
