Esteemed guests, it is my pleasure to present my reflection on Interview with the Vampire and asexuality.

Here I explore themes of Queer Time through an ace lens in Anne Rice’s novel, the 1994 film, & the 2022 TV series. #HorrorWritersChat

In all honesty I think, especially with a horror theme, such a correlation would be best coming from someone with a particularly intersex lived experience.

No matter what happens at SCOTUS, conversion therapy for asexual and aromantic people will still be perfectly legal and culturally accepted. And that has to change,

We won't end conversion therapy without ending it for aspec people, too.

The Supreme Court's consideration of Chiles v. Salazar is a good time to remember aspec conversion therapy is still a perfectly legal practice everywhere.

People online are losing their absolute minds at this art installation at Canterbury Cathedral and all the ridiculous reasons they're giving as to why it's bad kind of prove the point of why it's good, actually.

Perhaps it's because I'm in a city centre church where we've literally had people graffiti theological questions on our notice boards in pencil and felt tip pen, or perhaps it's just that colliding the worlds inside and outside of ancient churches is my ~thing~, but I do legitimately love this.

“Go and frustrate Power with your love

Go in your wholeness and delight in your lack
Go knowing that your queer body also is a face of God”

Minor detail that makes all the difference: I love and appreciate the inclusion of asexuality in this blessing of an affirming essay. It’s not often I see active mention and allyship of aces from others. Thank you @billieiswriting.bsky.social. 🔥

“They call our ace siblings, sisters, and brothers frigid and failures; they call our gay sisters and brothers “abomination” and “degenerate”; and they call our trans siblings, sisters, and brothers “contagion” and “perverts”…We are to them, all that they cannot bear to let themselves be.” 🔥

the reporter going “so just to be clear, you guys are frogs now because of the other frog? there’s no other significance to the frog thing?? I would love for there to be more to it than that” and the frogs are just like “nah man we’re here to support the original frog”

this is old school homegrown “rioting over the airport changing its carpet” Portland freak shit. it transcends the Portlandia mythos. writers would not think of this

I like how every protest quickly develops a weird and delightful meme about itself.

In Monsters, Inc., catching someone on tape yelling “I’ll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die! And I’ll get rid of anyone who stands in my way!” was enough to shock everybody and convict the villain.

I miss believing we’d draw the line at evil when presented with evidence.

Heads up everyone there’s an ace queerplatonic alternative to When Harry Met Sally coming out soon—it’s called Dear Luke, Love, Me!

I want to see intentionally ace, platonic stories like this succeed so I’ve preordered—let them know you’re interested!

What if we tried loving one another, eating delicious food, making art...what if we practiced patience, helped those who need it, found ways to make life easier for all, moved our bodies, and slept cozily in nice warm beds. How about we see how that goes for a while, instead of whatever all this is

I read a surreal fairytale book that reminded me reading can be exciting and intriguing, and then I walked by a river while listening to Alice in Wonderland music and it was good.

You procrastinate, and then you write the fucking paper the way the gods and nature intended. Several hours before it's due, high off either caffeine, nicotine, sugar, drugs, and PANIC.

Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.
