Yet another edit: @zoya-writes and @the-writing-rat . Yes, my memory is nonexistent. Oh! And @wiz-is-sorta-a-writer !
Another edit: @pandawriterstuff . Of course.
Seeing all these ace writers clinging to the possibility of other ace writers and talking about feeling alone and not knowing any other ace people just makes my heart go out to you all đź’ś
I just want to give you all a huge hug/handshake/high five/whatever you're comfortable with and agressively love you into believing you're not alone and that all aspecs are awesome and amazing and the world needs your stories 🖤⚪💜
🥳 let’s boost this so baby aces know they’re not alone! Let’s get the conversation going!
Hey it’s ace week and you’re local ace has something to say! I’ve been out as ace for 3 years now and it’s still a big part of my identity that I’m proud of so here’s a lil something for those who need it!
In honor of asexual awareness week I have made more jars!! All ace identities are valid and deserve to be seen. I love my ace fam 🖤🤍💜
Asexual
Aroace | Gray Ace | Fraysexual
Lithosexual | Reciprosexual | Cupiosexual
Orchidsexual | Aceflux | Quoisexual
Some of the colors aren’t the best, but I did what I could. If anyone has any requests for other ace spec flags in jars for this week, shoot me an ask! My only limits are complexity - I’m truly sorry to my demi siblings. Triangles are too hard.
“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
“Asexuality is not an “internet orientation,” and the internet did not lead to the invention of asexual people. People had identified as asexual for decades before and in the 1970s bonded over asexuality in self-published work and zines. The people already existed; the internet helped people facilitate these discussions at a scale and volume that had not been possible before.”
