ramblingsofanasexual:
So, a lot of people, when they come out as asexual, are made to believe that something in their childhood made them that way. My point is not about whether or not that is true, but that even if someone’s asexuality is ‘caused’, it is no less valid. Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if my…

Asexual Interview
I was supposed to do an interview today with a reporter from the Red Eye Newspaper. I chickened out. I feel kind of crappy about it. I was actually all gung-ho about it…but then my co-workers jumped on me about it. I was told that it wasn’t smart to do any public articles about my sexuality and then I became really, really paranoid when they started telling me how my full name would be...

Ordered about $50 worth of Animorph books a few weeks ago. Have been waiting in excitement the past two weeks. Just found out they were delivered to my old address…but are not there anymore. ….Never should have gotten hopeful.

Improv at Holiday Club tonight was super hilarious tonight! There were 3 improv groups and 2 stand-ups. Meredith Stepien was one of the stand-ups and I thought she did really good. SUPER funny. The improv gropus and the other stand-up guy…also HILARIOUS. Cried laughing a few times. I hope they do this more often because I love Hliday Club, I live down the block, and I want a new...

Holiday Club. Starkid was there, ah!
My friend and I went to the Holiday club tonight to see Meredith Stepien do her standup. Honestly, I was expecting only maybe two or three of the Starkid performers to show up…but there were a lot of people there! In fact, my friend and I felt weird because we were about the only two people at the Holiday club who didn’t know any of the Starkid people personally. They all came in and...

An Amazingly Well-Written Article: I'm Not Ok With...
by Sasha Pasulka
I’m sick and tired of people acting like it’s no big deal that Chris Brown will be performing at the Grammys.
I’m frustrated that the mainstream media is covering this story like it’s any comeback story, like an exiled prince’s return to a former glory, like this is another political timeline — as though some rich and powerful old white men in the music business have not just...

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Women passengers complain that TSA agents are targeting them for extra screening.
The Transportation Security Administration has a policy to randomly select people for extra screening, but some female passengers are complaining. They believe there is nothing “random” about the way they were picked.
A Dallas woman says TSA agents repeatedly asked her to...

acesecrets:
So, there have been several arguments between the ace and LGBTQ community recently about representation of asexuals in the media and in society. I really don’t understand why it has to be an argument.
Apparently, some LGBTQ people are opposed to asexuals speaking out about misrepresentation, or…

Harassment
Read more about the drunk asshole at a restaurant who thought it was ok to grab me, poke me, and harass me while I was trying to eat dinner!
I was just harassed at a bar. Now, not the kind harassed where some frat boy was like, “Yo babay, Ima take you home!” Like, the man talked about how he wants to sexually assault lesbians. Like he actually grabbed my arm and jammed his finger into my shoulder...

I…just discovered this show. I mean, I’ve heard all about it and have seen the numerous GIFs on Tumblr, but I just don’t really get into too many sitcoms.
