Wow we have @theacecouple.com back again with us tonight!! We forgot to advertise that, like, at all! But we're playing Tavern Talk again and that means it's ANDU TIME!! And let's be real, Andu is the real star of the show tonight. Ok let's go!
We heard this news literally like 2 days after we finished watching the show and you better believe we already have 2 episodes recorded about this nonsense 😭
You can listen to this week's interview with @theyasminbenoit.bsky.social on YouTube youtu.be/eza4ctPrnLk?...
our website theacecouple.com/episode171/
or any of your favorite podcast platforms to hear about her Ace in the UK report, her many "controversies" and an exciting announcement!

Happy New Year! We're kicking 2025 off strong with an interview with @theyasminbenoit.bsky.social PLUS, she'll be back with us in a couple of weeks for a Q&A and to share the latest project she's been working on. If you have any questions for part 2, drop them below! 👇
"Ace just means you want a trophy for being ugly"
Sir, I've quite literally gotten a trophy for being attractive.
Now, if you'll excuse me, my new sword just arrived and I simply must go break it in.
It's hilarious when someone comes to us saying "you aren't asexual, you're just ugly". We've both been scouted for modelling at multiple points in our lives. The only time anyone calls us ugly is immediately after we refuse to sleep with them or if they're just being acephobic.
💜🙏
The recent episode is especially good. I love this podcast.
#161: Marriage Equality is a Myth

Wow, we just charted in our 60th country. Happy Ace Week to us! Thank you listeners 💜
(Now we just need about 50 more people to subscribe to us on YouTube to hit 10K 🎉)
#AceWeek continues! It's #DisabledAceDay! And @theacecouple.bsky.social is joining stream tonight!!
So seeing as they are apparently THE Asexual Dungeon Masters, who have coincidentally also enjoyed Coffee Talk, it's only right we play @taverntalkgame.bsky.social, right?
Today is #DisabledAceDay - days like today are an important reminder of the importance of intersectionality. Statements such as “Aces aren’t broken or disabled” can be extremely harmful to Disabled Aces, because it erases their experience, however well intentioned it may be.
Thank you to Courtney @theacecouple.bsky.social for creating a day for talking about the intersection between #asexuality and #disability and being a disabled ace and ableism in ace spaces. #AceWeek must include disabled aces to include all ace experiences. #DisabledAceDay
💜🥹🙏
It's #DisabledAceDay today! This day was founded by Courtney Lane, who is from the @theacecouple.bsky.social, to raise the visibility of disabled aces and the discrimination they face.
Courtney has done amazing work for the ace community and I'm so proud of her 💜

this was the first @theacecouple.bsky.social episode i decided to listen to—about juvenoia and the ways suggestions about sex are used in rhetoric to dismiss and control people—and it was absolutely worth it.

Thanks to some very generous folks, the campaign for Rose and Jasmine Press has cracked $1000 and we are only on day two of the fundraiser! It's very good to know there are so many of you out there who believe in this small Palestinian-owned press.
