Today begins Asexual Awareness Week, my favorite week. Finding out I'm asexual was a godsend. When I discovered I'm asexual at age 26, I finally felt like the puzzle pieces fit together. The Ace community helped give me the words to understand myself. I'm forever grateful to the Ace Community!

Is it weird that I'm 35-years-old, and I've never been on a date before?

I'm aromantic as well as being asexual, so I get both sides of the coin thrown at me constantly.

Thank you for sharing, @ugottafriend.bsky.social

I know. It just shows there is no low Rowling won't stoop to, and it really shows how much she endorses compulsory sexuality, to where she feels we asexual people are "required" to have sex.

I'm so glad to be a @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social fan. Seeing @kenjennings.bsky.social stand up for trans people is helping to restore my faith in humanity a bit.

Ken Jennings @kenjennings.bsky.social · Jul 17

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

The people who claimed they wouldn't watch the NBA finals because there are 2 "small market" teams really need to get over themselves. Even as an OKC Thunder fan, I have a ton of respect for the Pacers and how they play. That was an awesome game.

I'm sad my Thunder lost, but to see 2 hungry teams go at it like this and represent flyover country in a positive way is lovely to watch. GG Pacers. You deserve to celebrate. Hoping for another great game Sunday.

I'm an asexual writer and journalist, and I can attest to you that they are already attacking asexual people. Groups like Alliance Defending Freedom have already placed us on the target list for their hate crusade.

I'm Tyger Songbird, btw. 💜♠️🏹🂡

The religious right is now targeting sexless marriages as "selfishness." They want to ban those too - LGBTQ Nation

It's not just same-sex marriages Republicans want to ban. Now they don't like asexual marriages either.

Truth. I'm asexual, and the same groups are after us as well.

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex-phobia and Transphobia IDAHOBIT (@may17org.bsky.social). While it is vital to combat these phobias, it’s important to also recognize Acephobia, which is on the rise & jeopardizes our heath & exposes us to discrimination.

No. I just said it because people love to dismiss asexuality as some "phase" for young kids. Yet, here I am at age 35.
