Anyway, found this record at my local book/record store.

*ahem* 🗣 Are you new to the LGBTQ/Queer Community or have experienced a recent shift – within the last 1-2 years – in gender or sexual identity?? Then I have a question for You!

Okay, so in seriousness, I’m working on a paper and research project for a class which centers Queer Identity, specifically that of Gender, Gender Expression, and Sexuality, and a girl could use some help!

After thinking about my own experiences and seeing some similar stories talked about here, I’m curious how many others may have re-vaulted any of these identity layers. I’d also be curious to see how these identities may have changed for others during the COVID-19 Pandemic, especially with the increase in time spent online. (I know I’ve been spending A Lot more time on here myself.)

If you are *18 or older and have 10-15 minutes + would be willing to help out by taking a survey I made, or you want to talk about your experiences over the the last 1-2 years, I would LOVE to hear from you! Not just for this project and class grade - which is also great, seriously - but to get to know about others going through this in the Community and have some of your stories heard.

All genders, non-genders, sexualities, and others are welcome! Don’t worry if you don’t live in the US or what part of the US you’re in, I’d love as many voices as are willing. :))

The survey is desktop and mobile friendly, so you can do whichever. The first page is acknowledging consent and the main points are near the bottom. It’ll take you to the questions after if you agree.

A Gentle Reminder

It’s been roaming through my head a lot while looking at discourse over aspecs that some people just don’t understand that our preferences (Or more accurately the lack there of) are not a fad, but simply relatively new.

After all, the widespread concept of zero was not recognized among other numbers until much later, but it was still acknowledged as “nothing.”

“She had a preference for women” is not as definitive as “They do not wish to marry,” but that doesn’t mean that aspec people have not existed; it’s simply been more subtle and not as widely acknowledged throughout history.

These days, we have a name, and awareness is growing. We’ve always been here, and now we’re finding out there’s more people who have the same thoughts. I found myself through this site and interacting with people who share not-so-normal feelings like myself, but we’re still hesitant to proudly proclaim it because people still shut aspecs down because “nothing” is always harder to define and accept than “something.” However, it doesn’t matter what the others say because what YOU feel is more accurate than whatever garbage terfs tell you.

I myself am now proudly ace. To any other questioning or out aces, demi, aros, gray aces, or aspecs, I hope you have a wonderful awareness week, and remember that you are not broken. You may doubt so much and come up empty on why you feel this way sometimes, but you’re no less valid than anyone else. You are wonderful, and we will accept you even if you find out later that your identity was different than you thought.

Have a lovely day.

I excitedly asked my friend to “autograph” my copy of the NEC 2020 with his glitter pen fully expecting him to draw a dick, but I am so pleased.

Look at how it glitters in the light.

Hey, licorice lovers, have you ever tried licorice hot off the press? Or even freshness within 24 hours of it being made?

Lemme tell you, it’s disgusting at first. Unnerving. It’s so much squishier than any licorice you’ve had before, and the flavor is so intense.

But once you’ve had a few, there’s no going back. No store bought licorice will compare anymore. You’ll crave the freshness and wonder how you could have ever eaten it before when it was months on the shelf. Your perceptions of chewy and hard licorice are made of unknown biases because there’s never been different.

You can’t go back. You’ve been blessed with knowledge that’s both a blessing and a curse, and now you can only devour the freshest of licorice.

Everyone: haha your url is so funny

Me: thanks!

Also me: but do you understand the joke that I am very very ace and the only thing I’ll ever thirst over is a stick of garlic bread and sex sales don’t work on me but the advertisements for olive garden certainly do and that even my future spouse will be second only to my love of the carbohydrates please I need to know that you understand me and the seriousness of the situation-

[tooaceforthisspace]

Bitch me too…the fuck!

[breeloveswaffles]

Every time I go to an Olive Garden or a Texas Road House all I do is order the cheapest thing and just eat an ungodly amount of bread. My boyfriend is astounded every time.

I’m like a dog. The only way to my heart is through my stomach and it can only be filled with that good freaking warm bread.

Sorry, the only buns the ace dig are those carb kinds.

Living in the Midwest, I have been subjected to loads of country music, and every song goes like this:

*guitar chord* *slow drum beat*

“Yee haw... beer... girls... rednecks... gaAAaawd...”

*drums and guitar pick up speed*

*moment of tension* *deep breath*

“Tractr” *Guitar rift*

[ssfghfrrggf]

AHHH! I love you too Sky!! I love how we both didn't even realize we got married and now we're married and it's great! And no. Thank YOU for listening to me rant! And accepting my more insaneness! 💞

[breeloveswaffles]

Maggie, how do you keep developing fabulous relationships during arguments. Is this a special talent you have?

[ssfghfrrggf]

Bree, holy shit! I really do don't I! I literally did not even think about that! Sky (@buddiebrettsey) i'd like you to meet Bree, my bestie who is BASICALLY you're sister in law but not technically because we're not actually related we've just known each other for years and it feels like we're sisters. Bree (@breeloveswaffles) meet my wife/your basically sister in law.

I met Bree arguing in the comments on Pinterest about Tony Stark back in the day when i was in that fandom before we realized we actually on the same side and then we became besties

[breeloveswaffles]

Lovely to meet you, Sky @buddiebrettsey. I’ve been seeing your tag posts quite a bit around here, and it seems like you are the perfect celebrity couple in this sector of the fandom. Congrats on the anniversary you cuties!!

And I am also extremely protective of my precious Maggie, so if there is a divorce I will haunt you.

Y’all, don’t try to make plans with people if you know they’re tired. It’ll only make them not want to go.
