“Taking The Cake” is an illustrated zine and 101 about asexuality, created by Maisha in 2012. It includes the basic definitions, some of the nuances of asexuality, explains the types of attraction that exist (not all attraction is sexual), dispels myths, includes resources and takes on the topic of whether asexuality is included in the queer community or not. Some say no, some say yes. Anyway, very helpful information and the artwork is exquisite. You see that Black woman on the cover! ♥♠

ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!!
This time, it’s Mica’s “Dad, why the hell would you give me Star Trek shirts? One has your face on it. It’s creepy. I don’t care that a con gifted them to you. You’re not going to wear them? Fine. Tumblr can have them” giveaway!! Rules:
you don’t have to be following me, but it would be awesome if you did. Also, I’ll put your name in 5 times rather than 1. I know I’m not a Star Trek blog, but I do post a lot of the reboot! Because Chris Pine’s eyes are the bluest blue to ever blue.
I’m going to regret this if someone from China wins due to my college student budget, but I’ll ship anywhere.
I’d like it if it get’s a few hundred plus notes so, you know, it’s worth it.
Reblog as many times as you want. Likes count.
Don’t be a douche bag and have a giveaway blog.
Giveaway will end on August 1st like my Supernatural one.
You shall receive:
4 Star Trek shirts shown above.
They are all various sizes from S-L
If the post gets 1,000+ notes, I’ll throw in an autographed and personalized picture of LeVar Burton. Why not? I live in the same house as him, might as well make use of it.
Good luck!
“asexuals are broken” sweetie the only broken thing about me is my sleep cycle
jessica rabbit is literally a sex symbol though she can't be asexual?
she is in romo with a rabbit because he makes her laugh and aside from using her looks to get things out of people she literally never once shows interest in anything or anyone sexually through the entire movie and is clearly appalled when anyone makes advances towards her like there is canonical evidence that jessica rabbit from the classic motion picture who framed rogger rabbit is an asexual character
both fanfiction and podcasts give me a lot of feelings about the potential ephemerality of online media. obviously, no one plans for these things to vanish, but they do, and that lack of permanence gives me feelings. anyway, the silt verses was my first candidate for binding podcast transcripts, because even when you don’t have the audio, the prose is just fantastic.
i half-chose the cover paper because i wanted to nod to the birdwatcher’s book that carpenter disguises her copy as, and half because it’s just really nice paper and feels appropriate even though i’m pretty sure those are seaside birds
formatted in two columns and smaller font both as a space-saving measure (this came out to about 300 pages) and to evoke a biblical style.
(my ideal vision for a bookbound silt verses was: softcover in faux-leather with gilded text, transcripts printed on thin bible paper, and a dustcover designed to look like a birdwatcher’s book, with a publishing emblem inspired by the waxen scrivener. but there are many aspects of that i have neither the skills nor resources for, and i’m very happy with how this turned out!)
Hi all,

ATTENTION SHERLOCK FANDOM!
Hello! My name is Carolina and I’m a Literature major currently working on an oral presentation about modern adaptations of earlier literary works. One of the examples we chose is the show Sherlock, and since there is such a big fanbase for this show in Tumblr I thought it would be a good idea to conduct an online survey to further our research.
The survey is completely anonymous and made up mostly of multiple choice questions, all very easy to answer. We need to obtain at least 50 replies to draw any sort of conclusion, so please answer if you can. The only requirement is having watched the show; if you think you can’t answer one of the questions, you can simply skip it. However, please try to answer them all honestly. It will take you only a few minutes and my research group and I really appreciate your help.
HERE IS THE SURVEY.
Please reblog & share; the more replies we get, the more accurate we can hope our results to be!
