If you are someone who sees the ace pride flag and cringes away from it, I need you to stop and examine why that is. Is it really because of the colors, or the (honestly kind of obscure) meanings of the stripes? Or is it because you associate that flag with a stereotype of ace people as boring / cringe / grumpy / etc?

Because, newsflash: Maybe you're too new to know this, but we as a community kind of went through this four fucking year long hate campaign called 'Ace Discourse' where people specifically crafted that stereotype to discredit us and exclude us from the queer community.

Changing the colors or design of the ace flag won't change that. It won't undo the harm we suffered to our community. It won't bring back the aces who went back in the closet and abandoned the community to save their mental health. It won't repair the damage done to our reputation by that stereotype, that continues to be perpetuated by bad actors fighting to keep the 'discourse' alive in 20-fucking-26

Like it or not, THIS is our flag. This is the most widely known symbol of our community. We can either continue to stay divided and obfuscate our identities under a dozen different color schemes, hoping against all reason that one of them will be the bandaid that fixes everything, or we can hold up OUR flag with pride and finally rebuild our community as a united front

I made this series to share clear, no-BS info about abortion in a way that feels kind and easy to understand. Each post starts with a simple “Did you know?” fact — covering everything from how long a first-trimester procedure takes, to what recovery can look like, to the reminder that all kinds of people (not just women) have abortions. I wanted the tone to feel approachable and nonjudgmental, so I used soft, pastel rainbow colors and a clean layout to keep things gentle but informative.

"Did You Know? You can have an abortion at home with about 5 pills? Medication abortion is safe, effective, and FDA-approved.

Did You Know? It's actually easy to get pregnant again after an abortion? birth control options can be discussed at your visit - but the choice is always yours.

Did You Know? A first-trimester abortion takes about 5 minutes? It uses gentle suction to empty your uterus.

Did You Know? Sedation options can range from local to general anesthesia? You can choose what feels right for you.

Did You Know? Cramping and bleeding can last up to 6 weeks after an abortion? Or not at all - everyone's body is different.

Did You Know? Women aren't the only people who have abortions? Trans men, nonbinary people, and other gender-diverse folks can become pregnant and need abortion care, too.

I don't want romance or sex so I worry less about being physically attractive so I'm less susceptible to peer pressure and capitalistic marketing beauty campaigns. Which means I'm critical of things like the Ozempic craze and "clean girl aesthetic" and current (conservative style) fashion trends. Does everyone really want to wear all beige and be stick thin and waste time doing "no makeup makeup looks" ?? Or do they just think they need to do that to be loved/accepted/happy/marketable.
