Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week 2024!

[arowitharrows]

I wish a very happy aromantic spectrum awareness week to everyone on the aromantic spectrum! To me aromanticism is an orientation, a life philosophy, a political stance and a big fuck you to heteronormative and amatonormative society and I think that's beautiful! So shout-out to all aros, your experiences are worth sharing and your aromanticism should be celebrated!

It's official! We got the state of Kansas to formally recognize Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week this year!

February 18-24, 2024 DON'T YOU FORGET!

Since the most recent strike is going on during Arospec Awareness Week, anyone participating should also be speaking as loudly as possible on Palestine. If you can't donate to posts you see asking for funds, spread the word. Follow the BDS guidelines, and make as few purchases as possible outside of necessary ones.

“Some aros feel romantic attraction”

Very true! Let’s not forget about the aros who do feel romantic attraction and still for whatever reason don’t want a romantic relationship

[pansexual-pied-piper]

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week to all arospecs whose identity isn't based on not feeling romantic attraction at all or not feeling it strongly or frequently or on having fluctuating attraction levels, but whose arospec experience is based on feeling it differently. Shout out to all the arospecs who don't or can't differentiate between romantic attraction and other forms of attraction (e.g. platonic), who feel no desire to act on their attraction, who feel removed from it or who otherwise don't experience romance in the socially approved "right" way. This is your week, too.

This Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, I want to express a particular appreciation for the aros who don't often get shoutouts, or really, awareness. To start with — shoutout to aroallos, to non-split attraction model aros, and to any aros for whom aromanticism is not just a romantic orientation, but also a sexual one (or, for that matter, also a gender).

Shoutouts to loveless and lovequeer aros. And of course, shoutouts to all the aro-specs with specific labels that never make it into all the positivity posts, or into all the pride flag compilations. I can't enumerate you all without inevitably missing some facet of countless, diverse aro-spec experiences, but you all are wonderful and important parts of the community. I hope all aro-specs everywhere, at every level of visibility, are having a great week <2

If someone calls ASAW "aroace week" one more time...

Aros and Aces are two separate communities. Yes, there is overlap. Yes, aroaces are of course welcome in both. Yes, not every aroace separates them. However, the two weeks are separate for a reason. Let aros and aces have separate communnities sometimes; not every ace is aro and not every aro is ace

This aromantic week, I have to deal with the fact that one of my best friends has asked me out, despite the fact that they know I'm aromantic. They are giving me the time to think it over (I already know my answer I just want to be careful with their heart), but what do you think the best way to go about making sure everyone you care about knows you are aromantic and don't do romance is? I'd really like to make this clear to all of my friends, but I'm not sure what the best way to come out would be so that it would stick in their minds.

Any ideas, silly or serious, would be nice :-)

It's a tricky situation you're in! And with little details, I can't do that much to help. I hope you'll be able to work it out!

my contribution for ASAW inspired by this post!

i struggled a lot to come up with something but at the end i managed to make something :-) happy aro week to all aros out there <2 (btw i think capybaras should become one of the aro symbols)
