Story of the Split is a zine about ace community history and a breakdown in community memory that has kept many people in the dark about the origin of the term “split attraction model.” This zine i…| The Ace Theist
Continued from Part 1. The other day, I saw an ad for NuCloud, a Halloween concert featuring over 150 VTubers being held aboard the USS Hornet, a warship that participated in the Battle of Midway and picked up astronauts after … Continue reading →| The Notes Which Do Not Fit

Do you think you might be asexual, or are you unsure? The Asexuality Identification Scale (AIS-12) is a self-report questionnaire to assess asexuality—independently of whether you self-identify as asexual.| Embrace Autism
In this article, I will describe what asexuality entails, what identities are part of the ace spectrum, and how common asexuality in autism actually is.| Embrace Autism
Platonic by Marisa G. Franco, PhD, is about how to apply psychology research to improve your friendships. Most of the studies were done in the United States, so its bias towards American culture, a…| The Notes Which Do Not Fit

exist. But a lot of sex repulsed aces imagine sex positive aces to be more like sex neutral. “tolerate sex” is sex neutral or just below sex neutral. Open and receptive to the idea of sex. Just noting this.| Eclectic Creative
My exact problem with them, besides their inherent academic masturbation in a circle jerk reaction, is their idea that all aces must be alike and fit the majority when Aces often contradict them, but then the aces that contradict them aren’t considered “reliable sources” only they are, quoting themselves.

Doing an anthro paper on asexuality. So depressing. I want to know from aces, why oh why do you even BOTHER talking to Lori Fucking-us-up Brotto. Why do you even let Anthony Bogaert into your spaces when they will not and do not honor asexuality in its full definition and seem to have this deliberate stubbornness not to get it right. I mean, seriously, fuck them. They spent sometimes over 7 fucking long years getting it wrong, then retconning, and then topping it off with still getting it sup...| Eclectic Creative
