Everybody's Doing It, So Why The Hell Should I?

Hey everyone! Just an average gal here. Nothing special. This will basically be a blog for me to feel out things I'm not comfortable putting on my main. For the brave of heart: Strap yourselves in. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

ACEapp

So it was brought up to me that there is a friendship/romance/dating app out there for Asexuals! 

It’s called ACEapp and it’s free in the app store, and I got it yesterday. 

It’s got a lot of different ace and ace spectrum options to pick from, and has different options for you to ‘seek’ like chatting, friends, romance, dating. 

It also has a poly/monogamy option (or both!) and it only takes a few moments to set up. 

I’ve already had a lil chat to a LOCAL biromantic ACE legit in my area which I didn’t even think was possible yesterday. 

it’s free, so there are ads, which can be a bit annoying, but it’s free so I’m not going to hold that as a negative. 

You can also narrow down the age group of people you wanna talk to - I changed mine to the 25-45 range because I don’t really wanna meet kids. 

I don’t know how great it is right now because I’ve had it for less than 24 hours, but it’s there. There are people out there, like me, looking for romance - without the sex.

I’m very happy.

For Asexual Awareness Week, I didn’t have a lot of time, but I wanted to at least share a condensed version of my discovery of asexuality.

Everyone’s different and on a spectrum, but I hear the phrase “I thought I was broken” when I hear stories about ace people before they knew they were ace. I suffered a lot thinking I was broken when I was going through high school. I felt such relief to learn there’s a word for what I am. I hope others find comfort, too

What is the Asexual Ring? | Origin of Ace Ring & How I Show Pride

Today I talk a little bit about the 'Ace Ring', it's history and why I wear it, as well as the other ways I have of showing pride. Origin Post of the Ace Rin...

Ace Spectrum Youtube Link Spam

Maeve ([email protected]) submitted: 

 I think I’ve seen a Ace Youtuber Link Spam before, but I couldn’t find it, so I made my own. This is by no means a complete list, and if you know of any ace youtuber that I didn’t add (sorry if I missed you!), please feel free to add them. 

Please note, most people on this list have come out on youtube in one way or another, and that’s how I ended up finding all their channels. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to view all of the contents of each individual channel, and cannot speak for how safe their content may or may not be. People with triggers should proceed with caution.
