An excellent interview with Yasmin Benoit, who I consider the only ace activist who cares about actual issues and not "ur valid uwu" bullshit. She talks actual concerns, mangled creative efforts, & online hate.

Also, it's a reminder that RS's EJ Dickson is a hateful hack.

"Ace just means you want a trophy for being ugly"

Sir, I've quite literally gotten a trophy for being attractive.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my new sword just arrived and I simply must go break it in.

It's hilarious when someone comes to us saying "you aren't asexual, you're just ugly". We've both been scouted for modelling at multiple points in our lives. The only time anyone calls us ugly is immediately after we refuse to sleep with them or if they're just being acephobic.

#AceWeek continues! It's #DisabledAceDay! And @theacecouple.bsky.social is joining stream tonight!!

So seeing as they are apparently THE Asexual Dungeon Masters, who have coincidentally also enjoyed Coffee Talk, it's only right we play @taverntalkgame.bsky.social, right?

Today is #DisabledAceDay - days like today are an important reminder of the importance of intersectionality. Statements such as “Aces aren’t broken or disabled” can be extremely harmful to Disabled Aces, because it erases their experience, however well intentioned it may be.

Sarah Cosgriff 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇭 @acescicomm.bsky.social · Oct 23

It's #DisabledAceDay today! This day was founded by Courtney Lane, who is from the @theacecouple.bsky.social, to raise the visibility of disabled aces and the discrimination they face.
Courtney has done amazing work for the ace community and I'm so proud of her 💜

The Ace Couple @theacecouple.com · Oct 22

TOMORROW!
October 23rd, 2024 is the 4th annual #DisabledAceDay

We'll be discussing marriage inequality for Disabled people, for Asexual & Aromantic people, and for Black Americans on the podcast

We encourage all Disabled Aces to talk about your own experiences & raise awareness this Ace Week.

Thank you to Courtney @theacecouple.bsky.social for creating a day for talking about the intersection between #asexuality and #disability and being a disabled ace and ableism in ace spaces. #AceWeek must include disabled aces to include all ace experiences. #DisabledAceDay
