Asexuals In Fiction 4.0

It’s the fourth year I’ve put together this list and it’s so huge I can no longer host in on tumblr. Click over to google database and you will find 51 YA novels, 14 New Adult novels, and 22 Adult novels. As well three video game characters and five comic books characters.

Not only will this database tell you if there’s an asexual it also includes the following: Series name, character name, own voice authors, type of rep, genre, main character or minor, and if it includes other representation of some sort.

SO EXCITED to read articles discussing the possibility that groups of Baiyue, the peoples who inhabited modern South China and North Vietnam, lived in ancient Southwest Korea.

We always knew a large group of South/Southeast Asians lived in Korea since ancient times. It’s an archeological and genetic fact, not to mention something you see in the faces of people you pass in the street. My husband has what is called the “Southern” facial structure. So does his mom, and so do about 20% of modern Koreans. But to be able to put a name to these groups and get hints of where they came from? Fucking amazing.

Grave styles. Tools. Agriculture. Even language? I covered my mouth to keep myself from screaming in the library when one of the articles speculated that 半乃 found on a tile fragment from the Korean Southwest might be BaanNaa, “village with rice field” in a major language of the Baiyue peoples.

It’s all rather speculative by necessity, but that’s why I’m writing a novel and not a thesis, right? I’m just trying to give a sound basis to my fictional vision of ancient Korea. And whatever Korea looked like 2,000 years ago, it was most certainly not pale and homogeneous the way some nationalists imagine it.

Judge resigns after video shows him grabbing Black woman around the neck – theGrio

The judge should be in jail

For those who don’t want to watch the video: the footage clearly shows that he was lying his ass off about keeping order in the court and only touching her shoulder. The woman was arguing at first in the hallway, yes, but she was walking AWAY and whatever disruption she caused was long over. This was when the now former magistrate CHASED HER a considerable distance down the halls, to the elevators it looked like, and brought her BACK with his hand gripping the back of her neck. The whole thing was humiliating and utterly unnecessary.

This World Afro Day, we’re calling time on this.

Whatever your hair type, join the movement to Change the Facts, Not the Fro. In celebrating our Afro hair this weekend in all of its versatility, help us continue the conversation by tagging us in your pics @worldafroday.

Let’s wear and share our hair with pride!

Hey Ebsco maybe you can tell me why I searched “remote survey” and “lithics” and got the fucking Federalist Papers

Maybe they were the Federalist Stone Tablets

Weirdly that still wouldn’t make them the lithics I’m looking for. 😡

Spoken like someone who never bashed redcoats over the head with a stone tablet

Well it’s not like they did either!

I’m sure the Hamilton versions did

You know, I’d believe LMM has slapped a tablet on someone’s noggin beforw

There you go, mystery solved!
