Arts Engine Tumblr Seeks Asexuals of Color
(Note: Is this even the right term any more?)
I will be announging this on Asexual News in a few minutes. Angela Tucker and Arts Engine are actively seeking Asexuals who are not Caucasian for an interview they are doing on their Tumblr blog. If anyone is interested, please use my Ask box and I will give you Angela Tucker’s e-mail address.
She is not filming anyone so there’s no need...

No link to my site here. I think for various reasons right now I’m inclined to think the person who runs the Christians for a Moral America Site can rot in hell.
Sorry that this isn’t objective or anything.

Who Else Has Ever Had a Day Like This?
Have you ever had a day where every instinct you have is telling you not to work. A day when your body tries to tell you to take a day off, but you do it anyway because if you do not work you do not get paid. When you do complete the task, you realize you have screwed it up monumentally? Your initial instincts, as it turns out, were correct.

Open Letter to Asexual Researchers →
I’d highly recommend going to the Asexuality Studies site and reading what they have to say first. It’s often my job to try to make things understandable to the average person. It’s difficult when I’m not entirely sure I understand what I’m reading
Note: The link was down for a time to correct factual errors.

I can’t say that all my troubles seemed so far away because that does not often picture the idea of American Thanksgiving. Despite the efforts to avoid political arguments, one broke out over the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
As for me, well, is anyone really interested? I’ve still got a lingering cough and go back to the doctor Monday. I understand all of these things are normal.

The original article is mostly satire. An AVEN user commented on this and the responses. It makes me think there should be a new archive of these stories similar to the one Andrew Hinderliter runs on Academic sources.

The Psuedo Psychology of Asexuality →
I’m going to admit I’m responsible for this in the first place. I didn’t tell the original author why it’s a bad idea to use Ezine Articles as a source. (I’m even more reluctant to use it than I am to use Tumblr for certain types of information.) It was surprising to see Asexuality Studies pick it up.

Ann Landers Mentions Asexuality in a 1979 Column →
This Ann Landers is long dead, and the Savage one now owns her desk. The definition she uses does not match AVEN’s, but this marks one of the earliest non-academic uses of the term that approaches the current definition

I have to take credit — or blame — for this. We get a number of searches about Pansexuality, but we usually don’t have much for Pansexuals. Another Tumblr user tried to help earlier but came up with sources that I’d direct people to if they asked me personally, but wouldn’t direct them to on my site. When I did the search, it seems that pansexuals have fewer...
