bogkeep: I don’t have a black ring (and I’m not always comortable wearing rings anyway)

bogkeep: I don’t have a black ring (and I’m not always comortable wearing rings anyway) so I made a little acey card to have on my backpack. Maybe someone will notice. (also I think the design turned out sorta cool? Maybe I’ll paint a tank top or something…) god i remember when i made this, almost a decade ago, i had Finally figured out i was ace (i think. i think it took me a couple years to just muddle through it) and i didn’t know a single other ace person, i felt so lonely and alienated by the world around me at the time - most people had no clue what asexual meant yet, the tumblr discourse was still in the “asexuals don’t exist, haha what are you, a plant” phase, i even wrote about it to the newspapers and it got printed in the reader letter column and even though it was submitted anonymously literally everyone at school knew it was me because WHO ELSE. WHO THE FUCK ELSE. now though. i am part of such a beautiful, vibrant and diverse community, through the queer organizations i’ve volunteered at, prides and events i’ve attended, or just by way of connecting through the internet - not just fellow ace and aro people, but every person i have ever met who doesn’t vibe with heteronormativity and gender garbage, thank you for trusting me with your stories and experiences and your companionship. it’s so cool that we all exist in the world like this. i can’t believe we’re all here!! -- source link
