Linkspam: September 11th, 2020

On Fridays, we will share links to news, blogs, and anything else we find interesting.  We can’t catch everything, so you are invited to self-promote in the comments!

Ace Blogging

Coyote explained why they don’t use “aspec”.  Later, Coyote explained a few ace interpretations of love songs.

Ace Admiral wrote about Hans Christian Andersen and celibacy.

Raavenb2619 discusses the nuances, limits, and potential of repulsed, indifferent, and favorable terminology.

Community Activity

Eliott Simpson’s (A)sexy and I know it solo comedy act from the Edniburgh Fringe Festival is now available on YouTube.

The UK Asexuality Conference recently occurred, and all the videos are online.

Aro Blogging

The Carnival of Aros has a new roundup, on the theme “Open Questions for Aromantic Research“.  The next call for submissions is on “Change” at Aria’s Hollow.

Magni listed some ace and aro groups that accept donations.

Calls for Participants/Support

AVEN is looking for volunteers who might be interested in helping with planning for an Asexual History Day on October 12th, 2020 as well as a Sweden/Denmark Worldpride celebration in August 2021.

Scholarly Work

A fascinating new paper examines the addition of “asexuality” to the Library of Congress Subject Headings as a case study from which to examine the critical cataloging movement.

    Unfortunately, it’s Tumblr, and Tumblr is a shitty “blog” platform which doesn’t even allow commenting.
    Any blog worthy of that name must have: a) comments section, b) an archive. Which is why I’m also, for example, very much against using Facebook as a blogging platform.

      Agree that this is frustrating. You’re welcome to use this space for any comments, and I can notify raavenb2619 if you like.
