Why Niger explicitly criminalising asexuality is significant to everyone, regardless of identity
To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about 'traditional families'

What's next for asexual and aromantic representation on TV in a post-Heartstopper world
Without more ace and aro stories on our screens, the momentum of what little representation there was could be lost

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

Quick note to my fellow asexuals: Let's stop the squabbling about what will help or harm ace "visibility," okay? They've heard, they got it. They hate us. We're dropping the handwringing about visibility and representation. We're going to get with our queer community and start talking resistance.

Chance Hess @thechancehess.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
It's no secret to any ace person that we've been on the chopping block along with our queer siblings the whole time. Yet, like other queer identities, our oppression has been erased, disguised, and hidden; leading to our further silencing under claims that we are "faking our oppression".

Listen, I would love to participate in the internet discourse on the ace flags, I really would. But, they're already in a committed QPR. They're cuddling on the couch right now. They're going to a cake-decorating class next Tuesday evening. I don't know what to tell you.
Panel 1:

An angry crowd yelling, shaking their fists, and carrying pitchforks.Panel 2:

The crowd pauses, looking perplexed. A voice from off panel says, "Uhh... everybody?"Panel 3:

The person who is the source of the voice gestures to two figures behind them while shrugging. The two figures embrace joyfully with wide grins. The figure on the left is colored like the original asexual flag. The figure on the right is colored like the universal asexual flag.

Asexuality has been referred to as the “invisible orientation” for a multitude of reasons, and many of the same arguments can be applied to Aromanticism, which is in many ways, an even less visible orientation, and often conflated with asexuality.

COMIC: Sa-WISH
PANEL 1: A basketball hoop with net with 9 basketballs bouncing off the rim, the back…none going in. On the balls the text “A THOUSAND KIND WORDS” can be seen.

PANEL 2: The same basketball hoop, a single basketball goes straight in to the net with the sound effect “SA-WISHH.” On the ball the text reads: “one negative comment”

PANEL 3: SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, stands in a swimming hole next to ARTHUR, a yellow duck, swimming next to him.
SHELDON, clasping his hands, eyes wide: …and in this metaphor, the basketball hoop is my sweet baby heart.
ARTHUR, furrowing his brow: Yes, I got that.

The more AI is pushed, the more I appreciate scrawling on a piece of paper with a pen and not trying to clean it up or make it look more polished before posting. Anyway this one is called "Customer Service Voice"
Two scraps of paper layered on top of each other on a fake wood grain desk. The topmost paper has a drawing of the author staring into space with a dark, grim expression, listening to the long, generic message on an answering machine. An inset panel is a gruesome closeup of the author, even more exhausted and dead eyed.
In the bottom panel they are suddenly bright eyed and buck toothed and surrounded by sparkles and flowers, speaking in cursive saying "Hi there, this is Kendra. I'm just following up-"

The scariest thing about this is haunted houses in March. Boo
Two lizards walk into a haunted house. Lizard 2 is scared by a prop and visibly jumps. Lizard 1 looks at lizard 2 and says " that scared the crap out'ta you!" Lizards 2 says "who me? Never!" Lizard one says " really?- 'cause it looks like you dropped a load."Lizard 2 looks back at his dropped tail nervously

The goal of fascism within a liberal state is it ultimately will violently reestablish a status quo of power. It will eventually fail, and in its wake, liberals will step in and claim “we beat facism, all is better now” while inheriting and sustaining this new status quo of social hierarchy.
