Dear Steven Moffat,
Mr. Moffat, I would like to know, has any one ever called you boring? Having seen your Doctor Who and Sherlock episodes, I would doubt that. You don’t seem to like boring very much Mr. Moffat. You do everything in your power to make sure that...

Learn what a “safe space” is. Then don’t get mad about it because, if you aren’t queer, you are prolly already safe from persecution and exclusion due to your sexuality and/or gender identity. Don’t try to invade other people’s safe spaces. Try to make your spaces safer for them.

Nonbinary/genderqueer folk, do you feel like anonymously contributing to some stats about gender identity and expression?
I’m running a bit of an informal data-gathering thing to see how people express their nonbinary gender. I’ll publish the statistical results in July 2013 in the form of graphs and charts.
You will not be asked for your name, sex/gender assigned at birth, or...

To begin to answer those questions, we’ve initiated this online survey of LGBTQ folks working in STEM.

Joshua Dent's Improvised Journey →
celloproblems:
Okay, so I’ve been posting about a certain someone’s Kickstarter quite a bit recently while otherwise neglecting this blog (finals are over, so I shall return this week). I rarely, if ever, endorse anything on this blog, but I truly believe that Joshua Dent deserves to make this album. I only have a glimmer of understanding of how it is to be a professional cellist, but I do...

I have a little less bad news than usual to report!
My dad is still doing about as well as he can be right now. He had a doctor’s appointment a few days ago, and he reported the same thing about his cancer. It’s still present and spreading, and it’s not treatable. It’s been hard as usual. However, we’ve had a lot of support lately; it’s been really great despite the situation.

In an effort to provide abused children with a safe way to reach out for help, a Spanish organization called the Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation, or ANAR for short, created an ad that displays a different message for adults and children at the same time

Hey, people of tumblr.
The first few suggestions on google for “asexuality is…” are pretty nasty.

Asexuality is awesome

So the bank I got a student loan from has a really shitty policy whereby if you miss a payment, you have to make a payment in order to get any kind of deferment (stopping payments for a while), even if it’s an economic hardship deferment.
In order for me to stop the payments, I will have to make a $202 (USD) payment...

Information on the struggles that face Bisexual people.
Bisexuals constitute the largest population within the LGBT community, but few services exist to address their specific needs.

Asexuality isn’t a spectrum, if you have or had any sexual desire at all you aren’t asexual. Stop being a goddamn special snowflake.
When people talk about the asexual spectrum they are referring to a specific subset of a chart that indicates the frequency of sexual attraction or the number of people to whom one is...

The Website is Up!

The website is now up. I can’t say that this is how it’ll look in perpetuity (in fact, I hope it’s not), but it is sufficient for the moment. There’s still a lot to be done, but please don’t hesitate to give it out to your friends! Additionally, any publicizing you wish to do with other LGBTQA or Science Fiction tumblrs/websites/magazines would be very appreciated. For...

I know, it just sounds so cutesy, right? But squishes can totally rock your world if you let them, just as much as romantic crushes. Even non-asexuals can get squishes; most people just don’t know what they’re feeling.

No, I am going to talk about this and you are going to listen.
Asexuals often receive rape threats because people believe that asexual-identifying individuals cannot possibly not want to have sex; even though the idea that asexuality is defined by specifically not wanting to have sex is a false one. (And I’ve explained that here) It is for this reason why I am tired of the...
