I think this is from Finn Longman is worth reading re history, sexualities and specifically asexuality and "friendship".
Mocking the old school historians' adage of "clearly they were just friends" has become common but... sometimes they actually were, sometimes there's no "just" about friendship, and to understand past people we should make earnest attempts to broaden our view of what relationships can look like.
Shout out to my fellow #Aromantic and #AroAce folks on this day for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
«On subit une pression permanente» : aromantiques et asexuels en ont ras le cœur de la Saint-Valentin.
La fête commerciale de l’amour romantique approche, et avec elle s’intensifient les pesantes injonctions à nouer des relations sentimentales et sexuelles normées, qui ne conviennent pourtant pas à tous.

Introduction Post
Hi everyone! I'm Lanie Molinar Carmelo (she/her), and I'm thrilled to join the amazing community here on allovertheplace.ca! Here's a little about me:
Who I Am
I'm a #UsabilityTester and an aspiring #AccessibilityConsultant, working to make technology better for everyone, especially those of us with disabilities. I'm most passionate about helping those with multiple disabilities, as it's an area that doesn't get enough attention.
Meet Squeaker!
I'm also the proud human to my 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker, who is the best little companion anyone could ask for. He drives me nuts sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without him. My profile picture features me with Squeaker, and my header shows him wrapped in a blanket with just his adorable face peeking out!
What I’m Studying
I'm currently learning:
My goal is to develop accessible apps that empower people with disabilities, contribute to open-source projects that promote inclusion, and just do what I can to make the world more accessible.
What I Do
I run or co-lead several online support groups for people with multiple disabilities. These groups provide safe spaces to connect, share resources, and talk with others who "get it." You can find them here:
Right now, my focus is on growing these groups and making connections with others who are passionate about supporting multiply disabled individuals. If you're interested in joining or collaborating, feel free to reach out or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech, where you'll find links to all the groups!
My Interests
When I’m not advocating or studying, you can find me:
I also love swimming when my health allows it.
My Goals
One day, I hope to found a nonprofit organization to support multiply disabled individuals. The nonprofit would:
For now, I'm focused on running my support groups and building connections that could help make this dream a reality. If you have ideas or resources—or just want to chat—let me know!
Let’s Connect!
I’m always happy to chat about:

Ich freue mich, wenn ihr meine Reise hier mitverfolgt und noch mehr, wenn ihr einen Kommentar hinterlasst, wer ihr seid und was euch an Themen so interessiert.
I've been questioning if I'm demi for years. I know I'm somewhere on the aro-ace spectrum I'm just not quite sure where.
how do I know if I'm STILL unsure??
are there any like "this is definitely a demi thing" moments or anything??
is there just a test I can take???
if you don't mind sharing, how did you know for sure? or what helped you figure it out?
Hello fellow aro/ace people! After coming to the realization, I've been more inclined to notice just how much music is about sex and love.
I just want to preface by saying that I have nothing against a song being about that and I think it's good that artists write about things dear to them. I still enjoy a good deal of love songs for many reasons.
What has happened though, is that after realizing that people genuinely feel what they sing (albeit maybe exagerated), which I was previously oblivious to, I feel like there's not as much music catered to my experience, I guess?
What I'm looking for is if song recommendations for songs about other joys/aspects in life, maybe about really good friendships, or other aroace bangers?
Boosts welcome!
I finished getting all the achievements in @npckc@misskey.io 's game Marron's Day, an adventure/rpg for original Gameboy and modern operating systems.
It's about a cute bunny who is disappointed that their town's festival is cancelled because no one signed up for stalls, so you run around town convincing everyone to sign up to save the festival.
The game plays sort of like a 1990s JRPG, but without combat, and everything takes place in one town. There's a lot of story and puzzle-solving.
The game has a lot of incidental queerness. Many (all?) of the creatures in town are queer, but their queerness is never the focus of the story: it's just noted without anyone making a big deal about it. My favorite are a pair of AroAce best friends who live together.
After completing the main story, you unlock the "prologue," another story called Marron Helps a Friend, which was originally released as a separate game. The prologue deals more explicitly with themes of queerness.
The whole game took me about four hours to complete, including all achievements and the prologue. It was well worth the time.
