AiTW Episode 14 - James Buchanan: The Mystery of "Old Buck"

AiTW - Dating App Burnout

This has been a recurring topic but its too juicy! I find myself not just frustrated but also a bit amused by the encounters I find myself in as a navigate through dating apps. These apps were clearly not designed not ace or neurodivergent people and the users generally say they want slow developing and meaningful connections but quickly lose interest if one does not act fast enough. The short rant I envisioned evolved into an episode length tirade and it gets a bit salty and spicy at times!! I hope you enjoy :)

AiTW Episode 15 - Henry David Thoreau: Ace in the Walden

After a long hiatus I have returned to make an extended episode on a man that I used to idolize and where I get way too philosophical! Henry David Thoreau was an author, abolitionist, naturalist, and a major part of the transcendental movement of the mid-19th century. His most famous work was Walden where he went to go live out by himself for two years next to a pond in the woods of Massachusetts. Quiet, shy, and rather introverted, he himself would probably never have guessed how popular he would become after his untimely death at 44. He is a hero to many today and embodies the ideal human being who is connected to nature and opposed to the capitalist and imperialist machines that was just beginning to rev their engines during his time.   Most importantly, He was a fellow ace... who lived the the wild!

AiTW - "I feel Lost in the Dating Market"

A bit of a rant about my current quest for making friends and finding my life partner. My method has been to try and find people that I connect with and build a strong friendship with and then proceed to date. However, my slow burn methodology and my lack of initial romantic interest has made dating a disheartening and burdensome experience for me.

AiTW Episode 14 - James Buchanan: The Mystery of "Old Buck"

An analysis of the 15th President of the United States and whether he was gay, ace, or something else entirely. I go off on many tangents here so be prepared!

AiTW - "Am I Lucky Being Ace?"

This is more of a reflection than a proper episode. I've been told "I'm lucky" to be an ace and I have always taken a bit of umbrage to people saying it, despite their good intentions. Today I reflect on this statement and why I don't think it applies to me or to other aces in general.
