I'm so sorry Ashley, praying for the best

I promise i'm not trying to finger-wag or scold. I think having things to figure out and work on together is great, actually. And I'm doubtlessly sure that someone has already articulated and examined these things better than I can.

I just haven't really articulated them for myself, before.

I do love and emphatically support my queer family. There's beauty and joy here that can't be found elsewhere. It's worth protecting.

But it's worth examining where we place value in queerness, and why we use the same kind of behaviors toward Ace folks that cishets use toward all of us.

But I do struggle with feeling the presence of sexual and romantic attraction seems to be the currency by which queerness is identified, afforded, and affirmed - especially in furry. Being Ace to any shade within that can have one feel as though they have no skin in the game.

Some say we shouldn't.

And I'm not neccessarily complaining or offering critique, just noticing that this is what I feel, have felt, and trying to navigate it for myself.

But I really do love people. For me, sex and it's constituent components just aren't part of the calculus.

Yeah I feel grace in explaining ourselves will likely always be a constant. I don't mind it, and I understand the questioning, but I admit to feeling like a space alien sometimes.

Dang, where are you looking if you don't mind?

Buy my album.

My roommate did, too. We can be heroes.

Music's a blessing!!

Thank you Mask, truly. Happy to keep trying.

One of Graham's finest for sure!

Thank you Kai, and you certainly keep at it yourself!

Carefully. *looks you dead in the eye and slaps her knee before sauntering off*

The fact I'm bouncing back like this before it's even out is an incredible sign already.
