I don't know what I'm doing X3

People seemed to like my bi/pan post so I decided to make a similar thing for asexuality! Please know that this is based on my own experiences within the community and I can’t speak for all aces. However I hope this can be a good starter for people to understand. A lot of ace stuff on here is heated arguments and I wanted to get away from that and provide a resource so people can learn without having to wade through the Discourse.

💖

Please note, I intentionally did not include anything about the “is ace queer” debate because it warrants a whole separate post and I want this to be accessible to anybody willing to learn, despite my personal feelings on that topic. Please do not bring your ace/queer debate onto this post, it is not the place. Thank you!!

Also for my last graphic, people re-posted to other social media and translated it into different languages and I’m totally fine w that! I would love if you keep the bottom credit and let me know if you do this. 😊

Plain text under the cut.

Shout out to all the ace lesbians that don’t feel like “real lesbians” because they don’t experience sexual attraction

Shout out to all the ace lesbians that struggled to figure out their identity because they thought their crushes on girls were platonic due to compulsory heterosexuality and internalized homophobia

Shout out to all the ace lesbians that say they’re lesbians because they don’t want to lecture everyone on asexuality but feel guilty about it because they’re erasing a part of their identity

Shout out to all the ace lesbians that get told by non-aces they only ID as ace because of compulsory heterosexuality/internalized homophobia 

Shout out to all the ace lesbians that like sex / don’t like sex / are indifferent to sexual activities

You’re all wonderful. You’re all valid. You’re all welcome here. I know it’s hard but you’re not alone in this!!

Shout out to ace lesbians who don’t feel comfortable with their own lesbian identities because of the hate expounded by exclusionists rallying under lesbian iconography in lesbian spaces.

Shout out to ace lesbians who feel disconnected and excluded from their own identities because they’ve been made to feel unwelcome in lesbian and other LGBTQ+ spaces by exclusionists waving pink banners.

Shout out to ace lesbians who have been made to feel uncomfortable with lesbian iconography, such as the many variations of the lipstick lesbian flag, or lesbian terminology like ‘dyke’ ‘butch’ and ‘femme’ because of how often exclusionists wear these symbols and terms with pride while crying their hatred of ace people from their internet soap box.

Shout out to ace lesbians who feel like contradictions because of how much it can feel sometimes like half of their identity hates their other half.

Shout out to ace lesbians who feel like they’re lost without the support of a community that is supposed to love an accept them without any riders or exceptions.

Shout out to the unique struggle of ace lesbians in the midst of this exclusionist resurgence.

You are strong. Your experiences are real and have merit. You have so many people who love you. And you are LGBTQ+ no matter what your romantic orientation is because all aces are LGBTQ+.

Thank you Anime St. Louis for another wonderful weekend! There was even a Leorio who came to my table and I cried all weekend because of it (Leorio’s BLEASE come to my table. I’ll die. Blease). But they were so nice and sweet and AHHH. Go follow them on their insta account at omachi.emily !! ❤️❤️❤️

But extra special thank you to everyone who commissioned me to draw their babies!! Everyone was so kind. 😭❤️ I hope to come back next year to draw even more babes.

nebraska is literally flooded, at least one person has died and three are missing, 60 thousand have evacuated… and the first cnn article about this went up like ten minutes ago and only mentioned flooding around omaha.

like. i’m from omaha and i’m frustrated by the lack of attention the rest of our state is getting. someone died, and you’re not going to mention that? how was this not a story worth reporting this morning? are nebraskan farmers and small-town citizens not just as important as the californians displaced by wildfires, or southern/east coast people affected by hurricanes?

when we complain about nebraska being ignored, we’re not really talking about not having shows set in nebraska, as much as we might want that. we’re talking about this — thousands of people losing their homes, their livelihood, and yet no one seems to think it’s worth mentioning.

The thing about the flooding is that the other half of Nebraska is experiencing blizzards. Our whole state is in anarchy right now. There’s no water left in fremont. Two of our leveys have broke and our dam is being held together through sheer fucking will. This is fucking terrifying okay? Even if me and my family wanted to leave we CAN’T. If fremont get’s flooded anymore where are we going to evac to? We can’t. We can’t get out of town. Why has this not been a fucking emergency yet?

Currently my family is okay, but were close to losing our home too. 

There are so many bridges out, so many roads impassable. Hundreds of people are stranded.

See this little island? Zoom in. Those are cows. Stranded, freezing, with no food, in the middle of calving season.

People have been losing 3 out of every 5 baby cows, because they are freezing in the mud before farmers and ranchers can even get to them.

This is my Uncle’s house, on the left

It’s a two story, and that water is six feet below the roof. They have my grandparent’s camper parked next the the barn (on the right) and you can’t even see it. My uncle has three young kids, the oldest of which has severe cerebral palsy, and now they’re living out of a hotel. My aunt only had time to pack two suitcases for the five of them. They had to leave everything else.
