"Ace just means you want a trophy for being ugly" Sir, I've quite literally gotten a trophy for being attractive. Now, if you'll excuse me, my new sword just arrived and I simply must go break it in.

It's hilarious when someone comes to us saying "you aren't asexual, you're just ugly". We've both been scouted for modelling at multiple points in our lives. The only time anyone calls us ugly is immediately after we refuse to sleep with them or if they're just being acephobic.

Today is #DisabledAceDay - days like today are an important reminder of the importance of intersectionality. Statements such as “Aces aren’t broken or disabled” can be extremely harmful to Disabled Aces, because it erases their experience, however well intentioned it may be.

NEW EPISODE! One of our favorite little unexpected nuggets of Ace Rep we've happened upon recently comes from the YouTube miniseries Rabbit by Kyle Prue. In only 5 short episodes, we fell in love! THIS is the kind of Ace story we want to see in mainstream media.

The black, gray, white, and purple stripes of the Asexual Pride flag with the title "Ace Rep" YouTube Short Series Rabbit". To the left is an image of the titular character Rabbit, a white man with short, light brown hair wearing a white dress shirt and a black jacket and leather gloves. He looks vaguely concerned as he talks into a flip phone with one hand on his waist.

it took me until the end of Ace Week, but here are some ace-spec characters from THE REMARKABLE RETIREMENT OF EDNA FISHER and GroundskeeperWIP! I only included characters who are described as ace on the page, but there are others *I* know are ace 😤 elizmanderson.com/books/remarkable-retirement

watercolor graphic in shades of translucent blue, reading "asexuality in the remarkable retirement of edna fisher," with two soap bubbles inside which is art of different characters. in the top bubble is Clem, a Latina teen with a scowl, warm brown skin, and black hair in a messy bun. text reads "bi-ace slash questioning, uses the word 'ace.' generally stabby and angry, awkward around her crush." in the other bubble is Red, a white man with ruddy skin, red-gold hair in a short ponytail, and a serious case of resting bitch face. text reads "het (question mark) ace, doesn't know the term but knows he's not that interested in sex.

watercolor graphic in shades of green, reading "asexuality in groundskeeperWIP," featuring a single soap bubble with art of Peter, an old white man with tanned skin, sad blue eyes, and a flat cap. text reads, "demisexual MC, doesn't know the term but would recognize it as him if you described it. good luck getting to know him well enough for him to bond with you anyway. will literally flee the second he likes you."

Reminder this Ace Week that I'm an ace author writing ace characters! Most prominently, Kel of the Structural Integrity series, who is demi adjacent. The first book is a little novelette that can stand alone and is only 99 cents! Blurbs & links at tabithaoconnell.com/structural-i... 🌈📚 #AspecAuthors

graphic advertising two books, Structural Integrity and Structural Strain by Tabitha O'Connell. In the center are two circles with text on them, with an outline of a heart overlapping them both. The first reads, "Kel: messenger boy - cinnamon roll - people-pleaser". The second reads, "Yaan: government official - anxious mess - conflict-avoider". On the left side is the cover of Structural Integrity, with text below it reading, "First they need to confront their issues..." On the right side is the cover of Structural Strain, with text above it reading, "...then they have to actually work on them."
