chicafrom3: photo of the TARDIS (Evil Dead - Ash survives)
- I swear I am still working through the alphabet prompts.

- So, Prince Jack is in Chicago and has met two people so far. Well, a girl and a cat. I'm very excited about this, I hope it goes well. For me, not necessarily for him.

- Also, my flist has been inundated by April Fools pranks. LJ's [livejournal.com profile] news prank was lame. [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes had a decent one. I enjoyed [livejournal.com profile] bwaydaily's Tony Award For Perfect Attendance article, that was funny.

- Also also, Tom Guiry is going to be on Kings! That makes two Donnelly brothers showing up so far. If we can get Billy Lush and Jonathan Tucker on as well, it's practically a reunion. Not really. Okay, I just really want Billy Lush to show up on this show. If Keith Nobbs wants to show up, too, I won't complain.

- LOST tonight!

Bah. This post popped up on my flist via [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes. The [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes post was cool. But now I'm driving myself crazy by reading the [livejournal.com profile] sf_drama post and all its comments.

That said, [livejournal.com profile] alexandraerin is endearing themselves to me muchly. ♥

Serious question for you: cui bono? Who benefits from this bit of exclusivity? As a BT who has varyingly identified as both a G and an L in my life, I'd say we get a boost from including asexuals. They are closer to mainstream, but further below the radar. Increasing awareness of them increases awareness of the spectrum of human sexuality, it inculcates in people the knowledge that variety in human sexuality is natural and normal. I can't see a downside to including them.

You say they have no business in the tent; I say, their goals and our goals are taking us in the same direction and I don't see any downside to hitching their horse to our cart. They've got less baggage? Great. We'll get further, faster together.


To the extent that gender is a binary, you could express it in binary. We have 10, 01, 00, and 11. 10 have proclaimed themselves to be King Shit of the World. 01, 00, and 11 can all play in 10's court, to the extent that they're able to pretend they're like 10. So, 01 and 11 have teamed up to say, "Enough of this, we're as good as you."

Why leave 00 out in the cold? 00 has as much a claim. 00 fits into the same grid. 00 is an ally.


Or, on a lighter note, [livejournal.com profile] beoweasel's attempt at an asexual rallying cry:

WE'RE HERE! WE'RE...NOT REALLY BOTHERING ANYONE, SO, JUST MOVE ALONG.
