Are you a young reader? It's Banned Books Week. Seek out a banned book. Find out what they're afraid of you knowing. Reading is revolutionary. Don't let anyone take it from you.

I totally missed this and wish I had had the chance to input my experiences/opinions 🙁 But it’s a fascinating read, and great that someone did it 🙂

“Here, Huang imagines Jesus as intentionally asexual and aromantic, showing how such an embodiment would lend itself to his purpose. However, he is not without love. Not in the slightest. Instead, the love that best serves him is a broader love for the world, rather than love-as-attraction.”

@neslee.bsky.social Two people clocked my MerStede charm and my badge that I made from one of your stickers - and one of them actually said, “Tiny Co-Captains!”

I got bitten by mosquitos in Florida in the 00s. The bites all swelled up and the itching was so bad it was painful. I passed out in the floor.

Excited (and slightly nervous) to announce that I will be presenting my talk Massaged to Death By Mermaids at the Wee Con @ofmcommunity.bsky.social

Someone you know and love is asexual. Maybe even they don't know it yet! It's harder to notice feelings you don't have (or don't have much) than ones you do.🏳️‍🌈
