This! Just this.
This binary just annoys me so much. Especially when the attack is used by someone who should know better. And as an asexual let me tell you being called frigid or prudish ain’t any nicer than being called a slut and it’s used to manipulate/shame people into personally undesired patterns of sexual behaviour and justify rape just as much as the s word (and with much less blowback as well).
So yeah, this!

Gezillig by Gayle Forman: Who's Scared of the Big Bad F-Bomb? →
So, there’s this article in US News and World Report about a move to rate YA books as you might films, so that parents have a warning system for inappropriate content. Let’s put aside the fact that this is already done by publishers who put age appropriateness on books—and is also done online,…
Though not till I'm done reading.: ASEXUALITY? What the hell!? →
Have you ever wanted to not have sex? Of course you haven’t, because you’re completely normal. But we’re going to tell you about some freaks who have!
This apparent sex expert says that wanting to have sex is the natural state of every human over the age of fifteen, but this wacky band of weirdos…
*Pained Laughter* Yep, I’ve read more than a few articles that basically say this about us.
I am slightly worried that some of the rebloggers seem to have missed the sarcasm. I mean I’m aware of Poe’s Law, but really…
I would pay so much money for this poster, you guys have no idea.
The title is also basically what you would get if you condensed any Lovecraft story into a single sentence.
So accurate.
Weeping with laughter and applauding. “Seriously, what is that thing?!” :)
I want to say something coherent but I’m laughing too hard…

Short sentences are popular these days. You see lots of authors using them in all kinds of genres. Fantasy, science fiction, regular fiction. Thrillers. They’re quick and to-the-point, making a kind of immediacy. They feel like action and important things.
I can write short sentences. Sometimes…

Media imagery of asexuality
background images from articles in Nerve, Marie Claire, and Folha.
There’s been a recent discussion about the cover of a potential asexual romance anthology, The Heart of Aces. Everything has already been said, but it reminded me of something else that I wanted to do. So here’s an analysis of the imagery that the media considers appropriate to accompany articles about asexuality, because they seem to fall into a few camps, and maybe I can learn something from this. I’ll link the articles, but this isn’t a critique of what they wrote; I’m interested in the types of visuals they use. And after each category I’m going to make a comment on what I think I learned about asexuality from the image and (for the asexually-uninformed) why I feel it does or doesn’t work, in the unlikely event that there are people who are madly Googling right now to try to find inspiration for the kind of photos to accompany their asexuality media piece.
For those of you who are more visually inclined, I have made an easy to use rating system on how these visual representations make this individual ace feel, because otherwise someone confused is going to come along and miss the bloody point:
Analysis below the cut.
- me: All scientists are hipsters, that's why they wear glasses.
- husband: No.
- me: "I stopped working on electromagnetic induction. It was too current."
- husband: No.
- me: "I used to have a passion for oceanography but I got sick of talking about the mainstream."
- husband: No!
- me: "Of course I'm not a mathematician. Calculus-based models of the universe are SO derivative."
- husband: ...
- me: "I'm an expert on geothermal vents--"
- husband: Oh my God.
- me: "--They're probably too deep for you."
