If you don't know what the NFT stuff is about it's basically like the thing where you "buy a star" where it means nothing but it still costs millions of people integrating the ETH block chain on scalped 400 watt GPUs 24/7 to get your certificate of nothing
THE ZINE IS OUT! After months of hard work, our charity zine about asexuality is finally ready for the world!
You can buy it here: https://gum.co/NnHcI
All proceeds will go to AVEN's GoFundMe! We had a poll for the charity among our contributors, and we decided that we wanted to help the world’s biggest asexual network and archive!
Thank you so much for supporting us :) Under the cut are our contributors if you’d like to follow them!

Aaaaaand the zine is done! We'll put up a post soon for donating to AVEN soon :)
HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS
was gonna leave my comment in the tags but tbh i’m silent enough about this as it is.
seeing stuff like this is so upsetting because these terms were well known and widespread in the ace community but because of exclusionists many people stopped using terms like this because they felt uncomfortable and unsafe.
i loved these terms when i was in highschool, i loved the feeling of community, but i lost that because i didn’t feel comfortable openly and proudly calling myself asexual.
they’ve hurt so many people and damaged our community badly and i will never forgive them for that. we deserve to use our own terminology and feel safe within our community.
sometimes i notice i haven’t seen “grace” (grey-ace) in a while and consequently wonder if i made it up.
I remember ppl - even other ace ppl - saying the card suit thing was “cringey” and “straight ppl aren’t gonna take us seriously” (sounds familiar?) So i guess the community wound up abandoning it. We were also having severe issues at the time with aces being stereotyped as “childish/immature” for associating things like cake, dragons, and space with asexuality, plus in general as most aces just don’t “get” allosexual things in media and irl. We were starting to be viewed as ignorant, virginal, childish, losers, etc. I haven’t seen an ace-cake thing in a good while now.
This was the infancy of exclusionary influence on us. I didn’t realize it did more damage than just closeting us. Whole symbols and terms have been lost. Community has been lost.
I remember three-four years ago I got myself into the ace community on Insta, and I came across these terms. People in these circles would talk about cake, space, dragons, and the black ring on the middle finger. Then, a year or two later, ace content fizzled out (I thought it was Insta’s algorithm figuring out that I knew all this and didn’t bring me the old stuff) and young aces had no idea what any of these were - including the black ring. Finding out young aces had no idea what the black ring meant nearly snapped my heart in two - I proudly wore the black ring, I drew characters with it, and it was my quiet way of communicating to others what my sexuality was. I was baffled at the lack of knowledge - and it turns out that exclusionists got their hands into our community and snuffed us out.
Anyways, we need to bring this back. I thought the card suite thing was cool, it taught people the different ways people can experience attraction, I loved making jokes about preferring cake, I loved wearing the black ring and talking about it with my fellow queer people at my highschool QSA club.
I’m sorry, people don’t know about the cake or ring anymore? I remember being welcomed with spams of cake gifs, photos, and MS Paint drawings. I also distinctly remember that the block solo ring in the midle was meant as reference to the Ace of Spades (black, solo, middle of card). Only thing I didn’t know was that other aces could represent a more refined nuance. Let’s see if we can get this all rolling again.
Welcome to anyone who is interested in helping with the culture revival.

Dear mods: Have all the acceptance/rejection emails gone out? I haven't heard one way or another and have been checking my junk folder just in case as well. Thank you!
All acceptance/rejection emails have been emailed now. Thank you for your interest!
The contributor app results have been emailed. Thank you so much for your interest in our zine!
Dear mods, as you've mentioned that most of the acceptance emails have been sent out, can it be safely assumed that the rest of the emails would be rejection? If so, would we be able to get a time frame as to when they will be released?
Not all of them are rejections, but most of them are. The rest of the emails will be sent within the week.
Have emails gone out?
We have sent the majority of the acceptance emails. We are waiting for the replies of the other contributors before we send out the rest of the emails. Thank you for your interest in our zine!
hello there, i was just wondering if emails are still set to be sent out today (26th)? hope all is going well on the mod team
Hello! Most acceptance emails have been sent out. We are first waiting for the potential contributors to respond before we send out the rest of the emails. Thank you for your interest in our zine!
hello! for writing submissions are you looking to publish fiction or non-fiction pieces?
We’re looking to publish both, actually! As long as it’s SFW, original, and not fan-based, it’s content we can publish.
Hi :) I have a few questions. What kind of content are you looking for? Is there going to be more of a theme other than “asexuality”? Are the people involved on the aro and/or ace spectrum?
Hello! We’re looking for original content for the zine, whether fictional or real-life experiences. There were quite a few suggestions to make it an aro-ace zine rather than just asexuality, so we’re going to make the zine all about the aspect experience instead! Majority of the people involved are on the aroace spectrum, but we have accepted a few contributors who do not personally identify as aroace.
will contributors have a say in which charity is chosen to donate to?
Yes! The contributors will be voting on which charity we’ll send the donations to.
hiya! you guys don't really have a lot of information about the zine outside of "about asexuality" and so I'm a little confused. is it entirely original works, or is it personal experiences or can it be about fictional characters (ie fanart, fanfic)?
It’s about both original works and personal experiences on asexuality. Fanart and fanfiction will not be presented in the zine. However, they may be referenced in personal experiences (ex. a person may write about how they relate to SU Peridot’s lack of fusion with others).
Who’s the mods working on this?
The mods working on the zine are @artniaro, @elle-arts, and Jackie (http://linktr.ee/expressosloth)!
Thank you so much for your interest!
