I wish ace headcanons were more a thing in fandom 😫 give me pairings with sex-averse aces, stone top aces, sex-favorable aces, aces realizing they're more greyace, aces figuring out what they are and aren't okay with when it comes to sexual intimacy, and everything inbetween!!!

Hi geeks! GeekGirlCon needs your help!

GGC has always been a home for geeks on the margins — a space to celebrate, connect, and belong. That space matters.

And it only exists because of you.

Since returning to in-person events in 2022, rising costs have made it hard for us to break even, 🧵

GeekGirlCon has always been a home for geeks on the margins — a space to celebrate, connect, and belong. That space matters.
And it only exists because of you.

Since returning to in-person events in 2022, rising costs have made it hard for us to break even, and unless 2025 becomes financially sustainable, we’re at risk of not being able to return in 2026.

Together, let’s keep GeekGirlCon going.

Ways to give and cost-free ways to help listed below.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

1. I’m almost caught up in the manga (about 20 chapters to go)
2. I hadn’t watched any, only the live action
3. Not at all. I love spoilers and I’ll read anything.
