Hi, I'm Jo

The first has righteous passion, fury, and sadness. She wants an immediate, full-stop end to animal suffering, human exploitation, environmental destruction, and to scream and shout and cry at every non-vegan to get their heads out of their asses to go vegan NOW. Immediate action or burn it all down!

The second is gentle, patient, and maternal. She has limitless compassion, taking in every individual’s circumstances and journeys with grace and humility. She wants to reassure and coddle and promote calm fortitude in the face of real, lived obstacles people face with veganism. Any step to veganism is a good step!

So many people don’t realize their asexuality cause they assume whatever attraction they do have must be the oh so fabled sexual attraction they hear so often about, see the common ace experience of confusing aesthetic or romantic attraction for sexual attraction.

Just the uncertainty of having thoughts like “I found this person pretty, is that sexual attraction? I kinda get nervous when I talk with this one classmate, is that getting ‘butterflies in my stomach’?”

Or there’s the alternative experience of assuming sex and sexual attraction is actually this one huge inside joke everyone’s into but of course nobody actually feels these things, right?

And the proceeding realization of “wait, you’re not joking? None of you are?”

I myself know so little about sexual attraction, it feels so foreign to me, and I’m just left with so many questions, Recently I just learned myself that apparently finding someone attractive and being attracted to them are two different things? What?? How do allo people keep up with all this stuff???

Being ace is weird

I’ve done posts like this before, one came up in mg related posts that I did back in 2020.

I love seeing what I relate to and what others experience that I don’t! And it’s hard to get a lot of that in this blog format. So I shall ask.
