It's been a while since I've posted about asexual issues, but I wanted to make folks out there aware of a fantastic asexual studies conference at the University of Toronto, from Jan. 5-7. @medrenliza.bsky.social and Ela Przybylo are a part of it!

An informational poster watermarked [hashtag]NoNYMaskBan. The background is filled with stylized drawings of viruses. A group of masked people stands by a heading that says, "4 Reasons to (Re)Normalize Masking." Below it is a text box with various clip-art drawings illustrating every reason. 1. Apathy is violence: resist white supremacy by refusing to contribute to mass infection, disability, and death. 2. Destroy the state's argument that masking is only used by "criminals" to hide their identities. 3. Protect mask wearers from targeting: cops can't single them out if everyone is wearing a mask. 4. Combat the exclusion and erasure of disabled people from public spaces by making them safer.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin
I find it so interesting that S2 of both Wednesday and Hazbin Hotel came out this year and further showed the asexuality of Wednesday and Alastor, respectively
Yet we still see fandoms shipping them with either their abusers/captors or the bubbly girl character just bc they donβt let them die
