Interesting note here on page 61 that #thomasjefferson was plagued by #samplebias because of the way he decided to excavate the #Monacan burial mound north of Charlottesville. Because of that, and I suspect some racial bias as well, he thought it was thrown together in "utmost confusion". No, we now know there was a clear order because of more modern methods but he could not see it. #archeology

Celebrating with all ACE community on this, the 14th annual International Asexual Day .

As mentioned in the graphic, we deserve to be seen & included in research performed within the community.

They grey is part of our flag for a reason!

Asexual (ACE) flag flying on left hand side. To the right is the title written in black “International Asexual Day”

Underneath in lowercase is written “pride in health + wellbeing”.

The flag itself consists of four horizontal stripes: black, grey, white and purple. The black represents asexuality, the grey stripe the grey between sexual and asexuality, the white sexuality and the purple community.

Simple #samplebias.

Also due to #world #interconnectedness, things became quite hard to compare.

For all you know, the "best" could be living offline never entering any #competition - remaining #unknown

#Oftentimes being "good enough & available"
is far better than
"#excellent / #best but #aloof / #conceited"

#Comparison takes the joy out of things at times...
