Happy Ace Week 2023!
I wrote a bit about myself being ace, nothing much but it was kinda nice to put it into words.
I first heard the term "asexual" back in 2016, but I didn't think much of it and didn't look it up. Only in 2019/2020 when I first started to actively be a furry I also found the word "asexual" again and this time I did look it up too.
I honestly didn't put too many thoughts into my sexuality and just assumed I was probably bi (lol). However, as I read through the descriptions and explanations of asexuality, it felt like I was rediscovering myself. It was around this time that I also learned about aromanticism.
These days, I'm quite comfortable with being aroace. While there are moments when I feel like an outsider for not experiencing or understanding certain things, overall, I find it quite content.
Whilst I haven't come out to anyone close to me I'm also not particullary hiding my asexuality or aromanticism when talking about for example romance related stuff.
I have never really thought about my experiences of being aroace so I don't know what else to write . _. .... anyways, happy asexual awareness week everyone!

Ace Week Aesthetics 2022
October 23 to October 29 is Asexual Awareness Week! Happy Ace Week to any ace-spec authors, and happy Ace Week to any ace-spec characters!
From now until the end of October, I am accepting requests for character aesthetics for ace-spec OCs and personal aesthetics for ace-spec writers. I did this once before in 2019, but haven't had the chance to do it again since.
[Requests close at midnight on October 31st, eastern time. I will likely be filling these into November, so please be patient once you’ve submitted!]
To request an aesthetic:
1) Go to my askbox. 2) Submit the info listed below the cut depending on whether you're submitting an OC request or a personal request. 3) Let me know if you have any colors in mind. (If you have no color preference, you don't need to say anything.) 4) Let me know if you specifically do or do not want your or your OC's flag(s) used in the aesthetic. (If you have no preference either way, you don't need to say anything.)
Please limit requests to no more than 3 per person. If you are submitting multiple requests, please submit them in separate asks.
You do not need to be following me to request an aesthetic, however, I will be releasing some discussions on the ace-spec characters from my current WIP throughout the week, if you're interested.
Request info below the cut.
Find sample aesthetics in the #aaw2019 tag, but note that I don't tend to stick to exclusively to even 3x3s anymore so expect more variation there.
Signal boosts allowed and appreciated! <3
In character requests, include:
The OC's name and ace-spec identity
The OC's other LGBTQ+ identities (optional)
The WIP they're from (optional)
Summary of interests, personality, appearance, background, and/or ideas for aesthetic elements
Alternatively, a link to their character intro
In author requests, include:
Your ace-spec identity
Your other LGBTQ+ identities (optional)
Your everyday interests, preferred genres, and/or ideas for aesthetic elements
Happy Asexual Awareness Week!!!
Tagging anyone on any of my taglists: @chayscribbles, @cherrybombfangirlwrites, @lockejhaven, @magic-is-something-we-create, @marrowwife, @measlywritingblog, @memento-morri-writes, @pepsiwriteswords, @poetinprose, @antique-symbolism, @indigocastor

Idk if ASAW will still be going on when this is posted, but I was scrolling through the aromantic tag and I'm so confused by how many people are calling it Aromantic Awareness Week / AAW????
Like granted it's a minority that and I /know/ learning new terms can be really hard for some people, but I remember when I first learned about ASAW back in… I think 2018 or 2019 it was very much talked about and explained to those who asked; That Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week was much preferred and was trying to become the new default because arospec who weren't the aro version of "black stripe aces" feeling left out and dismissed during our week. So well I assume it's probably mainly just people who didn't know that, I can't help but feel like it aromantics specifically trying to exclude arospec folks as I saw that happening way to much in the past to trust it suddenly died out and everyone who used Aromantic Awareness Week in their posts aren't exclusionists. This kinda turned into a half vent half history lesson lol, but I was not expecting to see AAW used especially more then I personally saw even last year.

Today at work I got an email from our regional IT person being like:
“Check if you have this specific kind of battery backup. If you do go to step A.
Step A: make sure it is not dusty, not over 3-5 years (depending on useage), is not near anything of great importance, and has room to breathe. Also make sure there is nothing flammable around it.
Step B: check where the nearest fire extinguisher is, and check that the fire extinguishers are regularly being checked to make sure they work.
Sometimes, with this model [INSERT IMAGE HERE], if it is old or dusty or overheats it can catch on fire.
Keep a cool head. Be aware of your surroundings. And know where your fire extinguisher is.
Check in with your Safety Officer to find out more information about standard safety procedures.”
I have two responses to this. My Initial Reponse:
Shouldn’t this read, we are recalling this model [INSERT IMAGE HERE] because it can catch on fire. Here is money to buy new ones. Kthnxbye.
My Secondary Response, of course, was to go check everything, and lo, and not to feel left out, also behold, we did in fact have that particular model [INSERT IMAGE HERE].
This is what I found out:
There are two battery backups.
One is near the breakroom/kitchen area:
It is in a locked closet.
It is only one years old, clean, not too hot, and has room to breath.
It is on the bottom rack of an IT extravaganza of wires and objects.
Above it are irreplaceable data drives that are not backed up anywhere else.
There is a fan blowing into the equipment to keep it cool, because we are in a desert.
We are in an old, dry building.
The nearest fire extinguisher is down a short but narrow flight of stairs, which is not far, but not ideal for an emergency situation or for someone with my disabilities.
Two is in the Theatre/AV Room:
It is only a little dusty.
It is of an unspecified age; either also one year or over 3-5 years.
It is warmer to the touch than I would like.
It is sitting on a counter, far away from the AC vent, without proper room to breathe, near a pile of old, dry, paper and a variety of other burnable objects.
There are two fire extinguishers within eyeline of the room, but whoever is currently in charge of checking the fire extinguishers must not know about them, because they have not been checked since August. So. Probably still work. But also may not.
We do not currently have a Safety Officer, because we are so low-staffed, and, in fact, have not had a consistent Safety Office since 2019.
The Safety Handbook is also from 2019. Or possibly 2015, but I will choose to believe it’s 2019 because my eye is already twitching.
In Conclusion: I don’t love what is currently happening with these two battery backups, and I am very excited for when we get a new person next week who will be able to be the Safety Officer, and hopefully update our safety procedures.
That is all.

Ex-Marijuana Regulator Rick Johnson Caught in "Devious" Lansing Bribery Scheme, Attorney Confirms
Ex-Marijuana Regulator Rick Johnson 'A Bad Guy' In Lansing Bribery Scheme, Lawyer Says
The Michigan marijuana industry was rocked this week by news that former marijuana regulator Rick Johnson is at the center of a bribery scheme in Lansing. Johnson, who was appointed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer to the Medical Marijuana Licensing Board in 2019, is accused of taking bribes in exchange for favorable decisions on marijuana licenses. According to the Detroit News, Johnson's attorney, John Shea, has admitted that Johnson is the "bad guy" in the bribery scheme. Shea said that Johnson was "manipulated" by a lobbyist and that Johnson was not aware of the full scope of the bribery scheme. The news of Johnson's involvement in the bribery scheme has raised questions about the integrity of the Michigan marijuana industry. It has also raised questions about the effectiveness of the Medical Marijuana Licensing Board, which is responsible for regulating the industry. The news of Johnson's involvement in the bribery scheme has also highlighted the importance of hiring an industry-trusted testing and compliance partner for hemp and cannabis. ACS Lab provides comprehensive testing and compliance services for hemp and cannabis businesses, including testing for potency, contaminants, and other quality control measures.

These young female athletes died by suicide. They all had head injuries in common
By Amy Woodyatt, CNN Published 8:20 PM EST, Sun February 5, 2023 CNN — Kelly Catlin and Ellie Soutter never met, but they had a lot in common. Both were commanding athletes: Catlin, a US track cyclist, was a three-times world champion and Olympic silver medalist, and Soutter, a snowboarder, was tipped to be one of Team Great Britain’s strongest contenders for the 2022 Winter Olympics, having already won a bronze medal at the 2017 European Youth Olympic Festival. Both were incredibly smart – Catlin was studying for a master’s degree in computational and mathematical engineering at Stanford University, while Soutter learned to speak French in about six months, according to her father. At times they almost seemed superhuman. In 2013, after only three weeks of formal training and having broken her wrist, Soutter became British Champion with her arm in a cast. Meanwhile, Catlin, who had a tenderness for children, once rode 80 miles through sleet and snow to speak to a grade school about her Olympic experience. Yet these two women’s lives were tragically cut short after they sustained serious head injuries in their pursuit of sporting greatness and then took their own lives. Catlin was 23, while Soutter died by suicide on her 18th birthday. Females may be more susceptible to concussion, and they also have worse and prolonged symptoms after their injury than men, according to a review of 25 studies of sport-related concussion published in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine. However, women remain significantly underrepresented within sport and exercise science research. This, leading experts warn, means they often do not get the treatment or aftercare they need following a head injury. Women’s sports have historically not received the same attention or funding as men’s sports, Dr. Ann McKee, Director of the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center told CNN. “It’s been shown that women athletes are more likely to get a concussion, they tend to have longer recovery periods,” McKee added. “We do not have enough information about what happens in the female brain. We don’t know if women are biologically more susceptible to these injuries,” she said, adding that some research suggests the size and musculature of women’s necks could play a part.
Kelly
Before becoming a track cyclist, Catlin, a triplet, was a national champion road cyclist and time trial national champion, her father Mark, told CNN. After winning a Canadian international race at 17 she was invited to an Olympic training camp for a try out, where, impressed by her performance numbers, coaches immediately offered her a position on the track pursuit team. Catlin’s father, Mark, told CNN, that his daughter was “intense” and “ambitious,” attributes she channeled into her sporting life. Her life changed irrevocably in January 2019. Practicing fast downhill descents in the hills near Los Angeles, she crashed and went skidding down the road. Despite suffering road rash, Catlin got back on her bike, and finished the ride. It wasn’t her first crash – she had experienced 4 or 5 hard crashes before this, her father said, and after the latest, she didn’t have any symptoms at the time. But soon after, at a World Cup track event in Berlin, Catlin was gripped by a sudden and severe headache. “She couldn’t compete,” her father said. “Kelly is kind of this stoical individual. And if she’s rolling around on the ground, clutching her head, it has to be a severe thing.” On closer inspection, Catlin’s helmet from LA had dents in it. Her father told CNN that this, coupled with her symptoms, caused her family to become aware she had suffered a concussion, which was later confirmed with a diagnosis from Stanford’s Health Centre. A concussion is a brain injury which happens after a hit to the head or body causes the brain to move back and forth inside the skull, according to the CDC. When Catlin returned to the US, her father says she was examined by the track training center in Colorado, whose work-up didn’t find anything. “There wasn’t any follow-up from Colorado after this. I believe they assumed she would seek care at Stanford,” he told CNN. Catlin’s symptoms didn’t improve, and in weekly phone calls with her parents, she admitted she was struggling with schoolwork and was unable to concentrate. Stanford Health Center, having diagnosed Catlin with concussion with ongoing symptoms, recommended that she decrease her training for 2 weeks and then gradually build back up and start sessions with an athletic trainer, medical documents sent to CNN by her father show. She was referred to a concussion specialist, the document adds. She tried to train, but “she would have to stop because she got a severe headache just from walking,” according to her father. Her heart rate would also accelerate rapidly from even the smallest exertion, leaving her with “no exercise tolerance whatsoever,” he added. Her injury had other consequences. “As far as we knew she was never a person that suffered from depression. She had an interesting sense of humor. She was always upbeat and bubbly about things,” her father told CNN. Kelly continually received requests for autographed pictures from fans, particularly from Europe, and a surprising number from Germany, her father said, adding that she always responded. Mark Catlin “She basically thought her life was over. She was no longer able to be the athlete that she was, she was failing her teammates. And she wasn’t able to succeed in school now. And I think ultimately, that’s why she took her life, because she thought her life was over,” he added. At the end of January, Catlin made a serious but unsuccessful suicide attempt, and was involuntarily admitted to the locked psychiatric ward at Stanford, her father told CNN. A month after that attempt, she took her own life.
Ellie
Soutter’s father Tony said there were many dimensions to his young daughter – not only was she an “adrenaline junkie,” but she was “very conscientious” and excelled in school, even after moving from England to France. Aged 12, Soutter took up snowboarding at school – and just months later, she was spotted in her hometown resort of Les Gets and trialed by Team Great Britain in February 2013. “It was quite obvious why she kept winning competitions because she just made it easy,” her father said. “She just made it look graceful and beautiful.” But training took its toll – Soutter told CNN that his daughter suffered seven major concussions in five years, between 2013 and 2018. “I was being advised by doctors “Oh, don’t worry, she’s young enough she’ll bounce back. As she progressed, becoming an elite athlete starting on the World Cup circuit, every time she had another concussion, they got worse, and they took longer to recover from,” he told CNN. “With every concussion, with the exception of a few minor knocks, Ellie saw a doctor in person,” he added. “I was always told that she was young enough to bounce back to full health after each case and therefore never consulted with the doctors that I met, about any previous concussions.” But Soutter’s final concussion was so “huge” that she spent two nights in the hospital “When I got there, she didn’t even know who I was or where she was,” her father said. Soutter was then selected for the Junior Snowboard World Championships in New Zealand August 2018. But a month before the competition, she died by suicide. Her father said a neurologist conducted a CT scan of her brain and reaction tests three months after her final concussion, but said she was “absolutely fine” and could continue competing. Like Catlin, Soutter had issues with studying and concentrating, becoming more insular as she suffered from crippling headaches. She also started suffering from insomnia. “She would literally sit with the tutor a good month after a concussion, and suddenly, she’d go blind. She’d not be able to see – everything would go black and dark,” her father said. After missing a flight to snowboard training, Soutter died by suicide on her 18th birthday. Team GB referred CNN to GB Snowsport when approached for comment, adding that Ellie only competed for Team GB at one event. In order to represent Britain in international competitions, GB Snowsport says athletes or their coaches are required to demonstrate that the athlete has reached established performance criteria, is of the relevant technical ability to compete, and has appropriate medical clearance to compete. A large number of athletes can represent Britain at different levels of international competition but are not part of a programme delivered and overseen by GB Snowsport. “As Ellie was not part of the GB Snowsport programme, we were unable to implement a personalised recovery and management programme for Ellie,” a spokesperson for GB Snowsport told CNN in an email. “She was, however, covered by national policies and protocols around fitness to compete, and would not have been cleared for any activity – training or competition – overseen by GB Snowsport without being able to demonstrate appropriate medical sign-off,” they added. The spokesperson for GB Snowsport told CNN: “We take concussions and head injuries incredibly seriously, and in reviewing contemporaneous records from the time that Ellie was involved in snowsport we are confident that GB Snowsport staff applied and followed every appropriate process.” Catlin and Soutter aren’t the only young sporting women whose lives have been cut short in this way. After 29-year-old Australian rules football player Jacinda Barclay took her life in 2020, post-mortem research by scientists found that she had degradation to her cerebral white matter unusual for someone her age. “For someone her age, you would expect to see lovely pristine white matter, and hers looked like she was an old woman in that it was basically degraded,” Michael Buckland, founder and Executive Director of the Australian Sports Brain Bank, who studied Barclay’s brain, told CNN. “We haven’t gone back and done specific white matter studies on our donors,” he told CNN, adding that the bank hasn’t done peer reviewed research on this. “But what struck me, just as someone that sees a lot of brains – this is not normal for someone of that age.” Damage to white matter has been associated with dementia, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Opportunities missed
Suicide after concussion is rare. However patients diagnosed with concussion or mild traumatic brain injury had double the risk of suicide and a higher risk of suicide attempts and suicidal thoughts than people without brain injuries, a 2018 study from researchers at the University of Harvard published in JAMA Neurology found. Dr. Robert Cantu, clinical professor of neurology at the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University School of Medicine told CNN that there are several theories as to why incidence of suicide is higher in people who have suffered concussion. One theory, he explained, is that those suffering from persistent post-concussion symptoms may have structural or functional brain damage and could be experiencing “behavioral dysregulation: short fuse, irritability, can’t suppress impulses the way you normally could.” With these emotional problems, “they would be more prone to perhaps do something impulsive, like commit suicide,” Cantu told CNN. A second theory, Cantu noted, is that post-concussive symptoms prevent people from getting back into their sport and stop them “from being the person that they were before their injury.” Neither theory is proven to the exclusion of the other, Cantu said, adding he thinks increased suicidality was “a combined factor involving both in many, if not most cases.” There are also differences in the way brain injuries affect women. A study of female soccer players across US high schools found they are nearly twice as likely to suffer concussion as their male counterparts, according to research that looked at over 80,000 adolescent athletes, published in the journal JAMA Network Open. Women remain significantly underrepresented within sport and exercise science research: a 2021 study examining papers from some of the most influential sports medical journals found that only 6% of the studies were solely focused on women, compared with 31% of studies that included just men. Other researchers have pointed to female sex hormones, with risk of concussion changing with hormone levels during a menstrual cycle. McKee said all athletes can also experience “non-concussive” injuries: “hits to the head that can be of the same magnitude as concussion, but they don’t rise to the level of symptoms for whatever reason, so a player tends to play right through it.” Cumulative exposure to repetitive head impacts – including concussion and non- concussive injuries – increases the risk for the neurodegenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known as CTE, McKee said. The disease, which can only be formally diagnosed with an autopsy, has mostly been seen in either veterans or people who played contact sports, particularly American football, say researchers. The disease occurs when the brain starts to degenerate likely due to repeated head traumas, according to the Mayo Clinic, which notes CTE is “associated with recurrent concussions.” But scientists aren’t only concerned about concussions. Previous studies have shown subconcussive head impacts – repetitive hits to the head and body that do not cause symptoms – can still result in long-term neurological disease. According to The Concussion Legacy Foundation, “the best available evidence suggests that subconcussive impacts, not concussions, are the driving force behind CTE.” There have been cases of CTE discovered in athletes who have never been diagnosed with a concussion, according to the Concussion Legacy Foundation. And other changes in the brain after repetitive head impacts aside from CTE are likely “equally important,” McKee said. “We also see damage to the white matter. And that appears to be mostly in the frontal lobe, but also in the temporal lobes,” she said. “We’re trying to understand the relationship of those white matter changes to behavioral and mood symptoms, perhaps even suicidality,” she said. McKee stressed that concussion management is important, but physicians and athletes should also be aware of other injuries. “The problem is the subclinical hits – the non-concussive injuries that aren’t detected, you don’t pull the player off the field – and they can be in the hundreds or even the 1000s in a single season,” she explained.
Lack of research
Though a growing body of data suggests women in sport are more likely to sustain a concussion, have more severe symptoms, and to take longer to recover, most sports-related concussions protocols are based on data from men. In a review in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers looked at 171 concussion studies written since 1967 which are used to inform the most influential consensus and position statements in treating sports-related concussions. Clinicians rely on these documents to guide their medical practice when treating athletes – but most of the studies are focused on men. Read the full article

Ace Books Rated Against Me*
*unlike previous lists, I will be comparing to how much I related to and felt connected to the ace experience of the ace characters in the books, and rather celebrating ace rep I’ve been lucky enough to read 
(inspired by @anassarhenisch​ who requested this about a year ago lol)
Quicksilver by RJ Anderson- This was the first book I read with an ace protagonist. I admired Tori’s conviction in that she was ace (and there are times where I have the same assurance in my orientation) and also how unfit she felt with her peers, like she had a mask. Her uncertainty in wanting a romantic relationship resonated with me more than other protags, as she and I exist in the same fuzzy area between romantic and aromantic. Her speech about friendship made me tear up, and I wish for a friendship as special as the one she has. 
9/10  
We Awaken by Calista Lynn- The best parts of this book were about Victoria’s asexuality. Her freak out about being ace was so on point, you have no idea. Only misstep was how short it was, but that has more to do with timing in a book than anything. Also, the fact that someone else brought up the term to her and she didn’t discover it herself was exactly how my experience went. And as much as I love that she gets a romantic love interest who is also ace (whoot whoot), they move awfully fast, which I could never do. 
8/10
Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann- This book is a bit more dicey with me. Alice is much more adventurous than I am or will be. She also doesn’t trust herself. Many ace people have had sex to either, get it out of the way and see if they like it, or to please their partner. I liked seeing that part of the community represented but as someone who is sex repulsed, my experience is very different than a sex neutral ace. I’m also so glad she was biromantic, I still haven’t figured out romantic attraction but I’m super into aesthetic attraction of all genders. Alice also has some of my favorite quotes about being ace and her analogy about jogging is the best. 
8/10
How to Be a Normal Person by TJ Klune- I waited on this book because I knew I would love it, and I did!!! This was the romcom of aces I needed. I was as grumpy and lost as Gus, but as confident and loud as Casey. They believed each other and trusted each other and it was just beautiful. I liked that Gus never used a label and I liked how important Casey’s label was to his sense of the world and how neither were invalidated. 
9/10
Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee- Felicity is so apathetic, it’s hysterical. She’s like, this is me, deal with it. Her aceness is tied to her aroness, which is the case for many people, but the distance of the time period and class made it hard to relate to her. I actually would have liked her ace identity to play a larger part in the book, and not be so easily dismissed by Sim.
7/10 
Every Heart a Doorway by Seannn McGuire- Nancy literally not fitting into the world and also being ace was a wonderful metaphor. While there wasn’t much content on her being ace, I enjoyed how sure of herself she was and how she interacted with other people from the queer community, although not so much as queer allies, just generally supportive. 
8/10 
Immortal Code by Lilllian Clark- I picked up this book with no idea there was an ace character, but there was Reese!!! She referred to herself as acearo, which was new to me, but hey, language constantly changes, right? Her love story of her friends is lovely and meaningful. 
7/10
Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee- I hope everyone gets a Tash book. Tash just fit with me. I adored her, and all her flaws lined up so well with mine. Her flawed mindset, her doubt, her emotions.. . .her experiences very much mirror my own. She deals with aphobia more, she has wants for a romantic relationship, but also completely lost on how to have one. She found the ace community online and connected to them there, as well as vocalizing how aces are part of the queer community. While she used words like “sexual” instead of “allosexual” and didn’t have other ace friends, found out in high school instead of college, her story all but felt like mine. 
10/10
I highly recommend these books and have linked my in depth reviews for most of them for more details on my thoughts on the novels. 
Vampires • Werewolves • Dragons • Aliens • Faerie • Portal Fantasies •  Dysopias • Angels/Demons  • Animal Companions  • Mermaids • Fictional Relationships  • Fictional Twins • Magic Schools
