It can get worse!

I've been warning my friends in the US that this type of thing would happen. Some thought i was scare mongering. Unfortunately i wasn't.

#introduction post!

Hi, I'm Stella! I go by she/her pronouns and love #tech #pokemon #celeste and #linux

I'm #trans #aromantic #asexual and I have #depression #anxiety and #arfid

Also, I use arch btw lol

#Sonne bedeutet für uns alle #Leben, buntes und vielfältiges Leben, so unendlich unterschiedlich, wie die Farben des Lichtspektrums.

Also Zeit für eine umfassende equal LGBTQIA+ Fahne, die alle unsere Orientierungen und Vorlieben verbindet und positiv symbolisiert, wie ein #Sonnenaufgang.
Jede der seit Jahrzehnten weltweit etablierten Farben und ihrer damit verbundenen Symbolik hat bei diesem Design die gleiche Fläche erhalten, 1/13 bzw. 7,7%.

Ich gebe das Design zur nichtkommerziellen Verwendung frei.
Das Bild ist online-optimiert (RGB/websichere Farben), andere Formate erstelle ich gerne auf Nachfrage 😘

I tried to draw #pride flags, something that resembles me #lgbtq+ #asexual #lesbian #bisexual #pansexual #trans #drawing and lesbian is here because I like how it looks

For asexual Wiccans/Pagans who celebrate it, Beltane can be a slightly uncomfortable holiday. Remember that fertility holidays aren't just about boinking, but about renewal and revitalization. Beltane is a great time to think about new projects, new art, or just doing a bit of spring cleaning. If you'd rather leave sex out of your practice, that's a perfectly valid way to worship! Blessed be. #Wicca #Beltane #Pagan #Asexual

While this article is from last year it is worth a read considering the loss of corporate support many Pride organiazations are experiencing this year. Maybe going local is a good way to build or rebuild community support.

Headline: 7 Ways Small Businesses Can Support Pride Month

Source: Guidant Financial

From the article: "With the month of June here, now is a great time to celebrate Pride Month! Pride Month serves as an important reminder to embrace diversity and support the LGBTQ+ community, not just during the month of June — but all year round.

"While hanging a rainbow flag in your shop’s window is supportive, you can take more meaningful actions to support our LGBTQ+ friends and become a stronger ally in your community. Whether you’re a small coffee shop or a larger daycare, you can create inclusive environments, organize pride events, and show your support in meaningful ways — and we’ll give you some simple ideas on how to do it.

"The Small Business Administration (SBA) is getting on board, too, committing to put more resources into the LGBTQ+ community by focusing on equity in the small business world. In fact, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce estimates there are “1.4 million LGBTQ+-owned businesses in the United States (U.S.), and they generate more than $1.7 trillion in economic impact.” By the SBA focusing more resources on LGBTQ+ businesses, even more of these businesses will be successful in the future."

From the article: "Companies that were once loud and proud in supporting LGBTQ+ community celebrations are pulling back.

"LGBTQ+ Pride festivals across the country have faced significant sponsorship challenges this year, with some losing corporate partners that collectively provided six-figure donations. As a result, organizations say they've had to modify their programming, pivot to other funding sources and reconsider their dependencies on corporate dollars.

"Many companies have cited economic concerns as their impetus to delay or exit partnerships with Pride groups. But LGBTQ+ group leaders also noted an increasingly hostile climate for diversity, equity and inclusion efforts that has prompted some businesses to rethink their support. In turn, Pride organizations are seeking clarity on how much their values still align with those of their corporate contributors.

"For this many companies to be dropping off, I think, points to that we're in a different political environment than we have been maybe in a long, long time," San Francisco Pride executive director Suzanne Ford told CNBC."

@eruonna I’m ace the way I’m lesbian, polyamorous, a woman, and trans: it’s how I want the world to pigeon-hole me. I’m more complex than “look up #asexual in urban dictionary,” and I’m comfortable with that (read: I work to accept and assert that I’m comfortable with that).

I generally assume that if the nuances are relevant, I either won’t bring up that I’m ace or I’ll feel comfortable with explaining the details.

“Wait how can you be #polyamorous AND #asexual?” Siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Okay, so, I’m beginning to conceptualize my low sex drive as AFFIRMING my #asexual identity.

Like, last week I was horny, but then I forgot about it because there wasn’t a great time to masturbate, and then today I had bottom electrolysis so I’m really not interested in masturbating today, even if it would be otherwise convenient.

And I’m fine with it. And being fine with it feels really good.

The LGBTQ community is resourceful enough for Pride to continue regardless of the changes in corporate sponsorhips.

From the article: "Nearly two-fifths of corporations plan on scaling back engagement for LGBTQ Pride Month this June, an uptick from the same survey last year, while another two-fifths said their support would remain unchanged, according to a survey of corporate executives by Gravity Research, as some LGBTQ Pride organizations nationwide report fewer corporate sponsorships than past years."
