Aromantic Awareness Week - Tumblr Posts
[ID: The seagull meme. The first panel shows a seagull saying “hey”. In the second panel, the seagull opens its mouth slightly and says “do you know what week it is?”. In the third panel, the seagull leans back and opens its mouth a lot. In the fourth panel, the seagull leans forward and screams “it’s aromantic spectrum awareness week”. The last panel is overlaid with the aromantic flag. End ID]

Aromantic Awareness Week!
It's Aro Week! This one is a bit special, folks. Today, for #aromantic Awareness Week, we are celebrating all things aromantic. This one is for you mighty fine folk. Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (ASAW) is a week to spread awareness and acceptance of aromantic spectrum identities, the issues the community faces, and not to mention a chance for the community to celebrate their experiences and existence! ASAW generally occurs the first full week (starting Sunday) following Valentine’s Day. It was conceived, in large part, as a way for those in the aromantic community who had difficulty finding space for their experiences in such a universally romanticized event to come together and celebrate their own unique experiences.
Here at Tumblr, our community is doing what it does best and marks Aro Week with its winning combination of pizzazz, thoughtfulness, and good humor. You can check it out below or catch the latest over at #aromantic.
Happy aromantic awareness week! Be aware or beware 💚🤍🖤
This week only, it is legally acceptable to shave an aphobe’s eyebrows as they sleep. Do not waste this opportunity.
I wish a very happy aromantic spectrum awareness week to everyone on the aromantic spectrum! To me aromanticism is an orientation, a life philosophy, a political stance and a big fuck you to heteronormative and amatonormative society and I think that's beautiful! So shout-out to all aros, your experiences are worth sharing and your aromanticism should be celebrated!
Happy Aro week to all of you people who are on the aromantic spectrum 💚🤍🩶🖤
Might attempt to do some aro themed doodles this week
and most importantly aro and ace are a thing, shame on those who think it isn't, you are welcomed into the community by at least me 💚💚💚

AROMANTIC AWARENESS WEEK!!!
ok yeah maybe i am missing out. maybe being aromantic IS a curse bc ill never get to relate to the heartbreak or the torture of knowing the other person doesn’t like you back or that specific form of intimacy or the security in being able to rely on one person or knowing where the boundaries of a relationship are. maybe i’m missing out on a central part of the human experience without ever really getting the answer why. and maybe ill never really know how to progress a friendship bc ill never truly understand a large chunk of the Relationship Spectrum. but at least ill never fucking have to deal with romantic feelings amiright. L to the allos out there fr, maybe i’m winning
being Aromantic can be hard but we still exist and we will not sacrum to any hate hope everyone enjoyed Aromantic Awareness Week

I want to make a joke about how stupid Arophobia really is. Why do you care if I'm in a relationship or not?
But then, I remember how aromantic people, in general, are seen as predators and abusers for being aromantic. We are seen as taking accountability for things that have nothing to do with us for the sole reason that we can have sexual relationships but not romantic relationships.
I see it all the time, especially if you are on the spectrum, in general. :(
"Oh, so you can have sex with X but not date them. You must be a predatory fetishizer of X relationships!!11!!" Like, why do you care!? Why are we not allowed to exist!?

It's Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (ASAW).
Aromantic people, aka aros, are those who experience little to no romantic attraction. Hence, they may have trouble relating to the experience of "falling in love" or having romantic crushes.
Let's show love and support to the aromantic community by educating ourselves and helping to spread awareness.
arospecweek.org and acesandaros.org are good resources to start learning more about aromanticism. Ig: @irenekohstudio
Happy ASAW! Reject amatonormativity, take root in your own meaning!
