Your periodic reminder that:

  • Aces are queer.
  • Being ace is about sexual attraction, not whether you have—or enjoy, for that matter—sex.
  • Being ace is about sexual attraction, not whether you masturbate or can experience sexual arousal.
  • Aces have always been part of the acronym, though where we have fallen has changed over time and in different regions. It is both incorrect to say "the A has only ever meant ally" and "the A has never meant ally" (the reason for this is complex)

“Even now, we estimate that at least 90% of Gaza’s children under the age of five are affected by one or more infectious diseases, and that 70% have had diarrhea in the past two weeks — a 23-fold increase compared with the 2022 baseline.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/26/opinions/israel-gaza-rafah-children-aid-unicef-russell
