A #queer person coming out to you is not an invitation to negotiate. It's them telling you who and what they are. And that's not something you can change with threats or bribes. It's not something you can talk them out of. You can embrace it or lose them. Those are your options.
I'm Chelsea, a 30s #lesbian somewhere on the #asexual spectrum, living in #Oklahoma with 3 #cats and my best friend, Elijah. I'm totally blind, so alt text is mandatory for me to follow you.
I write #poetry, read all the #books, listen to all the #podcasts, obsess over #horror, kill plants in an attempt at #gardening, and do my best to find joy in the mundane.
White but a supporter of BLM, cis but a supporter of trans rights. Happy to be here, it seems lovely.

As a closeted #asexual, I often feel a bit disconnected from #pride as I can only celebrate privately, but I wanted to say to other people in their closets at this time that you and your identity are valid regardless of being out or not :qc_heart_pride:
I'm REALLY into #anime; mostly into #KyoAni and Naoko Yamada (i.e. Tamako Market/Love Story, Liz and the Blue Bird).
I'm also a #Linux user; right now "btw i use arch" on my main PC, Fedora on laptop - both with the #GNOME DE.
As of writing, I've graduated from my nursing degree, and plan to get into nursing, with a long-term goal of getting into mental health. I can't give medical or mental health advice; please talk to a doctor, therapist, or other health professional.
Hello everyone, my name is Ina and I've recently created a #Discord server called "Aces Who Game." I'm looking to have this server be a sort of hang-out spot for people on the #Asexual Spectrum, especially for those who like gaming. (Although I am open to having non-ace people join, as long as they're cool, ie. don't be sexist, racist, homophobic, etc.)
Hi, I am Liv (or Livvy or Olivia) and I'm a full stack software engineer working at The Lego Group. I also happen to be #agender#asexual#aromantic and #nonbinary (my pronouns are she/her).
This is a sturdy knitted bag with a button closure. It's made with acrylic machine-washable yarn, so if you get it dirty, you can just toss it in the washer and dryer. If you'd like to show off your #asexual pride with a unique handmade item, this purse might be perfect for you!
Je ne demande pas qu'on connaisse la def ou tout le spectre ace. Je veux juste qu'on me laisse vivre en paix et qu'on cesse de venir me dire pourquoi je ne devrais pas exister, ou encore me demander de me justifier ou d'expliquer. On n'est pas des dicos. Tout comme mes adelphes, je compte exister le plus longtemps possible, en phase avec mon identité, même si je fais partie des plus invisibilisées.
Le A ce n'est pas pour ananas
PSA to everyone to not use brave browser @brave, the CEO of Brave Software is bigoted (donated to anti-lgbtqia+ organizations trying to ban gay marriage in the past and still has never addressed it or apologized) and was also against the Covid Lockdowns and is anti-vax. Using brave browser contributes to oppression of LGBTQIA+ ppl and contributes to brave software financially through ads and other means.
I recommend anyone still using brave browser to switch to ungoogled-chromium as a non-bigoted degoogled chromium-based browser alternative. @floccus is a good browser extension to use on ungoogled-chromium to sync your bookmarks.
So this year, I came out as #Asexual. It wasn't a world-changing revelation, but it helped me to understand certain facts of my being. Just like learning that I am on the #AutisticSpectrum, embracing my #Queerness has helped me to understand why I am the person I am today.
The last several years have been shittastic, but this year has been the start of an upturn for me. I've moved back home, sober from alcohol for almost 9 years now, working at a #CoOp in a city I love, living with my mum who I love more than anything. I'm finally saving money, and my debt is almost completely paid off - I just owe the government for a CERB payment, and I'll have that paid off by tax season - I paid off my old credit card debt this year, finally.
I have to admit, I am not very hopeful for the future, for the world at large. There's so much awful shit going on. Sometimes I think it's hopeless.
But I gotta keep going. Otherwise, what else is there?
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, and that your new year is glorious.
I'm an urban dweller with a dog and as such love high-density housing with plenty of public greenspace. My #urbanism ties into other beliefs I have in community building, the environment, economic justice, etc, despite living in a hostile city where your humanity is measured by the size of your car. (For my experiences as a pedestrian where I live, follow my alt account @walkipeg)
The thought of sharing my cultural tastes gives me immense anxiety, for once someone knows what music I listen to or TV I watch, my entire character will be placed on trial and I must defend myself with perfect knowledge and moral justification of my tastes. So, I'll skip on that, thanks!
