As A space for Aces approaches our two-year anniversary (on August 22nd) I'd like to take a moment to say how grateful I am that our group has made friendships that extend beyond the walls of the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center.

Hey folx! Tonight's topic is positive representation; who represents us in ways that honor the #Ace and #Aro communities? Who helped you find yourself, gave you the words to describe what's in your heart or made you no longer feel like a #cryptid? #ASpaceForAces #LehighValley #PA

Hi folx! The next meeting of A Space for Aces will be tomorrow night, May 26th, from 8:00 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. (EST/GMT -4). If you haven't already recieved the link for the meeting, hit the link in our bio and email Reilly. #asexual #asexuality #SpaceForAces #LehighValley

Hi folx!

This is your periodic reminder that virginity is a ridiculous construct designed to assign value to, and discriminate against, people based on whether or not they've had sex.

You are the only one that gets to determine your value. #AceExperience #Asexual #Asexuality

The April meeting of A Space for Aces begins in about 1 hour.

Apropos of nothing:

YOU CAN BE GAY AND NOT EXPERIENCE SEXUAL OR ROMANTIC ATTRACTION

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Please tip your servers well.

[A Space for Aces @space_for_aces]

Fantastic thread about exposure and representation of the ace/aro communities.

[elle is trying so hard @scretladyspider]

Okay so first of all, no advocacy groups for asexuality and/or aromanticism have been verified by Twitter. And I t’s not just AVEN that deserves it. AVEN is not the only advocacy organization for ace stuff. They’re the biggest, and are coming up on 20 years, but not the only one.

[A Space for Aces @space_for_aces]

I've apologized to the Bradbury-Sullivan Center for making them completely redesign the updated graphics for ASFA and I'm apoligizing to the Aromantic community for going 2 years without giving you equal consideration. You deserve better and I intend to better serve you. (5/5)

[A Space for Aces @space_for_aces]

(#Thread) As the founder and facilitator of A Space for Aces, it's my responsibility to see that we're representing #Asexual and #Aromantic people equally, as visibility and representation are a part of our mission. I want to apologize to our Aromantic friends and family. (1/5)

[A Space for Aces @space_for_aces]

For that, I am deeply sorry. 50% of our mission is representation and visibility but we've only been visually representing 50% of the communities we claim to serve. It was my responsibility to see that everyone had equal representation and I failed to deliver. (4/5)

Asexuals aren’t “people who don’t want to have sex.” Sure, some of us don’t want to, but that’s not what asexual means.

[elle is trying so hard @scretladyspider]

Asexual - no sexual attraction.
Aromantic - no romantic attraction.
Allosexual - sexual attraction.
Alloromantic - romantic attraction.

Someone may be only acespec OR only arospec.

This means someone may be ace & alloromantic or aro & allosexual.

Ace ≠ aro. Aro ≠ Ace.

Sex is not a human need because I’m human and I don’t need it

[A Space for Aces @space_for_aces]

As of now, we're still waiting to hear back from Reilly at the Bradbury-Sullivan Center or the editor of the Gay Journal. The suspense has me checking my email 100 times a day and considering asking Reilly if she's heard anything. I know, I'll just have to be patient but SUSPENSE

[A Space for Aces @space_for_aces]

We just got a follow back from AVEN @asexuality!!!

Good news right before bed is the best!

[AVEN - Asexual Visibility & Education Network @asexuality]

Happy #BiVisibilityDay

Bi people exist and it's ok to be Bi!

Ace and aro people can be Bi too.

Had a great meeting tonight! It was the first time we had a member that's not from PA or NJ! We were a small group but we talked about all kinds of things and the time really just flew by. The next meeting will be Oct. 28th, same time, same zoom room! Hope to see you there!
