Hm, haven't done a #introductions post yet. Here goes!
I'm Cara (She/They), an 18 year old software engineer from Massachusetts. I'm going to college for Computer Science so I can pursue a career in IT!
I write a lot of open-source software, mostly on my Sourcehut page here: https://git.sr.ht/~muirrum .
I'm also an amateur radio operator, an Eagle Scout, and I love photography and being outdoors!

Asexuality is not a footnote. It is not the fineprint at the end. It's not some rare exception to the rule.
You can't say things like "everyone is sexual, except for some ace people"
If you treat asexuality this way you aren't accepting asexuality. You aren't working in changing your understanding. You're just creating small space for exceptions.
Building a world accepting for asexuals has the challenge the underlying assumptions and understanding. You can't just add in exceptions to the rule, the rule it self needs to be changed.
got my second dose but now feeling like garbage
smh for all this trouble i should've gotten 5g with it 😤

You can be both nonbinary and a woman.
Just as the sky can be both night and day, you can exist in more than one state.
There is no contradiction.
Happy pride y'all!
