Over the last two days I was at the On Asexualities conference in Berlin.

The aim of the meeting was to catalyse research and activism around asexuality and aromanticism.

Here are 10 observations from the event.

I can write better and smarter than a bot but it’s taken years of practice. So what will happen if no one learns to write like that is we will have no writers. And civilization will crumble I’m not even kidding.

hot take: forbidden friendship across differences stories are way more impactful and meaningful than forbidden romance across differences stories

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

On this #transdayofvisibility please do everything you can to protect trans people. Rising fascism makes this a dangerous world for almost all of us but trans people are especially under attack right now. Speak up against bigotry in your daily life, vote for parties that fight for trans rights!

Die Uni Kassel darf, dank der Landesegierung, nicht mehr "Schüler:innen" schreiben.
Die Uni Kassel zeigt sich kreativ und ersetzt nun jedes Mal "Schüler:innen" mit "Schülerinnen, Schüler, nicht-binäre Lernende an Schulen sowie solche, die sich keiner geschlechtlichen Kategorie zuordnen möchten." 😅👍

Lent idea: straight partnered people give up all forms of intimacy* for 40 days and experience a taste of the “celibacy” they assign to queer people by default

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

we also gotta go one step beyond "do not obey in advance" to "do not panic in advance", fam.

check your sources, hesitate before reposting, corroborate stories.

we're more valuable to billionaires panicked than focused, breathing, and remembering our training.

This is a propaganda masterpiece. Tens of millions of people who know nothing about politics will see this & when TiKTok is back Trump will take full credit (& a huge kickback) & no one will care the ban was his idea in the first place. An idea an idiot cadre of elderly Dems went along with. 🤡 💩

Everyone now leaving X cause Bluesky is FINALLY close to being usable in similar ways have not done so earlier for lack of an alternative not cause they don‘t care about Elon - leaving massive platforms that are vital to people‘s incomes and community networking without alternative is a PRIVILEGE.
