This morning @deanarcuri.bsky.social on JOY Breakfast asked about the best way to stay warm now that the weather is getting cooler, and four separate people responded "have you tried wearing sleeves?"

Rusty, a fourteen week old Australian cattle dog, lies peacefully curled up at the feet of an office chair. He is absolutely beautiful. He is approximately as sleepy as our social media manager today.

Photo of Damian, JOY's Tech Services Coordinator, holding an asexual pride flag in the colours of black, grey, white, and purple.

Photo of an ace pride flag being held high up in the air. Celebrated yearly on April 6, International Asexuality Day is dedicated to promoting understanding and acceptance of those under the ace umbrella, and to push for wider recognition and visibility. While people who are straight might feel attraction towards people of a different gender, and gay people might feel attraction towards people of their own gender, asexuality is a spectrum of experiences commonly featuring little to no sexual attraction.

Quote from Damian: "Days like today legitimise asexuality, and help reinforce that asexuality is real. It's a reminder that asexual people are an important part of the LGBTQIA+ communities." Damian, wearing a denim jacket, smiles at the camera.

Happy International Asexuality Day! 🖤🩶🤍💜

A group photo of the fifty or so people marching with JOY at Melbourne's Midsumma Pride March this year. The colours are super vivid. The atmosphere is joyful. The grass is green, and fittingly, the sky is blue.

Heard there were cool queer people here? 👋
