I am filled to the brim with rage.
(and also heartbroken, knowing people who were once affirming, who would now just think this was a good idea).
Appreciate @fluentlyaspec.bsky.social for walking us through this with a voice of reason (and righteous anger).

Quote abridged to make it fit character limit. Y’all should read the whole thing!
Wonderful interview and insight on asexuality and masculinity from @fluentlyaspec.bsky.social in this series by @codydo.bsky.social.
“I’ve always rejected the idea that virginity equates to immaturity and the concept of ‘becoming a man’ with sex as the gate. I’ve known plenty of people…who frankly disprove that theory…To be a man is to look out for others…you never stop learning, even if you’ve spent a lifetime teaching.”
THIS!
It's Ace Week! I did this great One on One with fellow ace content creator Patrick Bex (@fluentlyaspec.bsky.social) about aspec masculinity.
For Pride this year, consider donating to Courage+ LGBTQIA youth facing homelessness and displacement.
Also, give @fluentlyaspec.bsky.social ‘s video a watch and a like, and share with anyone you know.
This bill is queerphobic, ableist, misogynistic, and just plain disgusting.
Learn about it in my new video and spread the word!
New video!
Yesterday I learned of a horrific bill that passed in the Tennessee state Senate forcing public schools to teach “success sequence” in life is high school, then college or career, then marriage, then children — in that order.

I'm about to do something l've NEVER done before... be a part of a YouTube livestream!
Lynn Saga (@lynnsaga.bsky.social) is hosting me and Patrick Bex (@fluentlyaspec.bsky.social) for an event celebrating aspec poetry, in honor of Patrick's new book, Limitless! Tune in on Feb. 18, 7:30pm EST.
As an asexual myself, I have heard so many times people claiming they can "cure" me of being asexual. I've had people say "You just need to get laid right", "You just haven't had good sex", & "You've never been with me.
And I've known many other aces who've heard the same.
I need to hear from some lithromantic folks if possible for something I’m working on. I want to ensure that what I’m working on is authentic and doesn’t misrepresent your experiences.
Please DM me if you can help!
Also if folks could repost this to get it out there, I would really appreciate it!
Pokémon AND Life Is Strange?! Okay I’m in the right place 🥹
Thank you! It’s self-published, but I did have an artist I hired for the cover art and an editor I also hired, both on Fiverr. They were both incredible and really understood my vision! Both are credited in the copyright page.
So glad to see you, friend! Welcome!
Limitless is a memoir in verse tracing the journey of self acceptance and discovery, of redefining relationships, and of relearning what it is to love someone. It’s about breaking down norms, denying the broken feeling inside us, and living authentically.
Limitless releases 2/18/25.

suicide prevention is access to birth control.
It’s HRT, for anyone who needs it.
It’s accessible, safe abortion care.
It’s comprehensive sex education that includes education about consent. No abstinence only.
It’s resources for single parents.
It’s resources for teen moms.
“Isn’t that just like everyone else?”
“Do they just fall for their friends?”
Demiromantic identities are far more complex than the one-track questions they’re often asked. Join me in exploring this diverse part of the #aromantic spectrum in this new video!

You can simply use my pen-name Patrick Bex, and that seems to make it come up pretty quickly.
This is a very exciting step for me. I'm a strong believer in the importance of supporting our indie bookstores, so knowing that my book can now help to do that is massive news!
To find an independent bookstore near you that uses this program, go to https:// www.bookmanager.com/tbm/?q=h....
From there, you can go to the bookstore's website and search to see if my book has been added yet. The book cover may not show up, but I’ve emailed them with a copy so it should soon.
I have some fantastic news regarding my book's preorder! Many independent bookstores use a program called Bookmanager allowing you to order through the bookstore online. Limitless is now available to many bookstores through this program now!

Thank you! That was such a pleasure to have that time together and make something so meaningful. @gentlegiantace.bsky.social is an inspiration to me 💜
Also to help make it easier to find and order Limitless, to organize all of my work that I do into one place, and to prepare for whatever lies ahead with social media, I’ve created my own website!
