I'm reading loveless for the third time and I still go "that's so me !", everytime Georgia goes through the ace confusion.

I love Alice oseman for writing that book(and for all of their books)

transhet people are absolutely lovely. straight trans women & straight trans men have a beautiful experience. straight aro and ace people are still queer and live queer lives. straight non binary, genderqueer, gnc, bigender, genderfluid, intersex, two spirit and other queer people are a blessing to our community. any straight queer person belongs, no matter what. cis people can be queer, so can straight people. queer hets belong all the same

I've seen a book with an either Aro, ace or aroace character written by an Asian writer (Not Ann Zhao, nor Angela Chen), pretty sure it was adventure leaning? Not slice of life. Anyone has any idea what this might've been?

Happy ace week!

In our research on ace history, we came across this article, published in the New York paper the Village Voice in 1971. The article, intended as satire, lamented the difficulties of being an asexual person - "the man or woman with the courage to say the whole sex business leaves them feeling like a limp noodle”, in particular the lack of ace visibility, and the prevalence of sex in media.

Although it was meant as a joke, the article genuinely resonated with some readers, who thanked the paper for raising awareness of ace issues. One reader even reportedly wrote in offering to contribute a weekly ace consciousness-raising column to the paper.

I love women who are unabashedly big.

Women with big laughs, big smiles, big voices, big bodies, and even bigger personalities to match. Women that don’t care if they take up space with long strides and sit with their legs miles apart.

They give big hugs and big kisses, and they have big hearts. Big, proud women are amazing.

“Love doesn’t have to be romantic” and “not everyone has to define their feelings as love” are two ideas that can and should coexist btw. Platonic love, sexual love, familial love, and so on are all just as real as romantic love, but people can feel platonic feelings, sexual feelings, familial feelings, and so on without those feelings being love. Just as relationships can be defined as romantic, platonic, or something else entirely only by the people involved in the relationship, feelings can be defined only by the person experiencing them

Loveless aro: I don’t really connect with the idea of love. Due to my personal experiences as an aromantic person, I find it uncomfortable to label what I feel as love, and I find it empowering to reject love altogether as a concept.

Non-loveless person: But don’t you love chicken nuggets? Don’t you love your friends and family? Don’t you love the sun on your face? Don’t you love taking a shit when you have a stomach ache? Why won’t you let me force labels onto you?

WHAT IS LOVELESS DOING IN TGE ROMANCE SECTION OF MY LOCAL LIBRARY??

Did the librarian read the first sentence of the blurb and go "Yeah, that sounds like a romance," and just decided to put it there?

So my school librarians did the same thing (with all of AO’s novels, actually(other than Heartstopper which is in the graphic novel section)) and when I talked to them about it, they said that it was the first genre on the good reads listing that they had in their library. Here’s the genres listed on good reads:

I think it’s bullshit, cause it should definitely be under realistic fiction (along with all AO’s novels (again not heartstopper)), but there’s your reason I guess.
