I offer myself as a #sensitivityreader for #ace and #asexuality representation. I will read your #wip, chapter, scene or full manuscript. DM for details!
Happy #InternationalAsexualityDay!
It's all about (A)dvocacy, (C)elebration, (E)ducation and (S)olidarity. But there's a fifth...DIVERSITY! We're an intersectional community. Asexuality isn't a white western thing.

I have a genetic quirk that means that 75% of my pregnancies will miscarry. But there is the change that one of those would have carried to term. My mom has this quirk. So (probably) did grandmother. Mom found out after two miscarriages prior to my birth 1/3
There is a small chance that one of these miscarriages would have carried to term. The child of that pregnancy would not be able to breathe on its own. Its heart would not be able to beat. It would have a small life, full of pain, and then it would die. 2/3
If my mom didn't have the option to abort, I would not have been born. My mom would have stopped trying to get pregnant rather than be forced to carry that child to term.
I am alive because of abortion, not in spite of it.

Writers sending off a script like, “Here’s my latest, I am pretty proud of it! But it might be awful haha. No rush on reading it! But if you don’t respond in the next hour I will assume you set it on fire...which is totally fine! Love that for you. Thanks so much!!!!"
Since today is Canada Day, I want to remind people that there is #noprideingenocide, over 10K children found buried at residential schools and that number will go up.
There are reserves that still have no access to #cleanwater.
And #landback isn't a scary concept.
Btw the answer is yes, the task was disrupted. Our brains don’t regulate focus. Often this means that staying on task looks either like ONLY doing that thing until we pass out or doing 500 things because that led to that which reminded me of this which —
I knew I was "wrong" around 9 or 10. That's when my friends started having crushes. I didn't know there was a word for Asexuality or that I was queer until I was 32.
So many contradictions are believed about aces! We have to have had sex to be sure we're ace, BUT if we have sex we're not ace! We can't be autistic, ill, or have a history of abuse or else that's what "caused" our asexuality, but if we're ace, we're DEFINITELY one of those! 🧵
