I Saw the TV Glow is a visceral queer horror movie that expresses the fear of living as your authentic self and, perhaps more importantly, the fear of never having the opportunity. Many viewers pick up on the Transgender themes, but fewer notice the subtler themes that can be interpreted as Asexual and/or Aromantic.

Time to right our past wrongs and finally officially judge the ungrateful lizard gender reveal invitee...among other r/AITA posts pertaining to Aces. Get the gavel ready.

Some brief and scrambled post-election thoughts, including a few predictions for what we might expect in the next few years.

Season 3 of Heartstopper finally gave us the AroAce rep we've been waiting for!

With lesser-known orientations, such as ours on the A-spectrums, we often curse the lack of representation in mainstream media or praise it when it does the bare minimum, when we SHOULD be looking at the Own Voices examples coming from talented creators within our own community who are always going to be ahead of the curve. Today we talk about Baker Thief which is all of that and more.

Despite Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same-sex marriage in 2015, we still do not have marriage equality in this country. Notably, Disabled, Ace, Aro, and Black Americans do not have equal rights and benefits under our current marriage framework.
