Want to fund a Steampunk Cabaret Space-Folk Band? →
Of course you do, they’re awesome! Seriously, go check them out and help them, these guys are simultaneously some of the loveliest and most awesome people I know, and some of the most fun and interesting musicians I’ve seen in a long time. And if that’s not reason enough - their songs feature queer love stories! *squees with joy*

BBC News! Asexuality! Me! →
There’s an article on asexuality (and me!) on the BBC News site. Currently it’s their 5th most popular article *squee*.
“Twenty-one-year-old Jenni does not experience sexual attraction, but in an increasingly sexualised society what is it like to be asexual?”

TV! Asexuality! Me!
Hey, I was on TV tonight, talking about asexuality, and if you’re in the UK it’ll be on iplayer later: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b019lt17/How_Sex_Works_Playing_the_Field/
For those who don’t want to watch any more ‘adult’ discussion on casual sex, with lots of detail and sciency footage too, I’m on for about 5 minutes about 20 minutes in, and then...

[TW: Sexual assault]
[Possibly NSFW]
I’m a feminist. Which is to say, I believe passionately in equality regardless of pretty much anything, and am frequently and uncomfortably outspoken about the numerous instances of misogyny, oppression, and sheer bloody impoliteness contemporary society all too often throws at us. Occasionally I have hour-long arguments with anyone from...

So I originally spotted this on AVEN here so they’ve been vetted to make sure they’re not voyeurs or something. She’s from Grazia.
Thing is, several people (including me) have responded that we’re happy to talk to her we just don’t want our picture taken. Thus I thought to put the call out to…

Asexuality and Celibacy →
lashingsofgb:
” guess I should start with the main point of this post, and that’s: ASEXUALITY =/= CELIBACY Asexual people are physically capable of having sex. Seriously, you’d be amazed as to how many people doubt this. I’ve been asked whether being asexual means I look like a Barbie doll, y’know, ‘down there’. I don’t, but thanks for your concern, I guess? It’s got nothing to do with...

Asexual Survey (This is important, guys!)
Via the marvellous Ninny:
“I’m sure a lot of you know about/completed this already but… Please take the Asexual Awareness Week Asexy Census! To be scientifically representative, the census needs at least 500 responses. If this happens the results can go towards future academic research into asexuality, and give us a better understanding of the asexual population. Please...

A PSA About Asexuality and Aromanticism
outlawroad:
Dear World,
Please take note of the following facts about asexual and aromantic people.
——
Asexuality is an orientation based on the lack of sexual attraction to other humans beings.
This means asexual people never look at other human beings and experience an arousal response or a desire to have sex with them.
That is all it means.
Some asexual people still have a sex drive and...

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Bat-Blog! →
Curious as to what I’ve been up to? Well, here’s a Bat-blog written by some of the cast, featuring some of my hair dying exploits.
And if you haven’t yet worked out what this is about, it’s about the show I’m in from the 23rd to 29th - tickets available here: http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/theatre/batman-holy-spoof-musical-batstravaganza
Hiatus
Just a quick note that I won’t be here for two weeks (London for a week or rehearsals, then Edinburgh for a week of a show - come catch me if you’re there, at http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/theatre/batman-holy-spoof-musical-batstravaganza)
That means that this blog, my writing blog (theoxfordpixie) and the feminism blog I help with (lashingsofgb) won’t update, or at least, in...

The Oxford Pixie: Seasons - A Sherlock Fanfic →

The door slams and it echoes like a gunshot down the street. There were words, words that began their lives as taunting little whispers and died as shouts on their speaker’s lips. Worthless, said the tall man. Freak, said the other. Silence had tried, and failed, to smother them, and was…

The Enemy? →

“Well - I don’t know about you, but all this talk of oppression is making me feel rather bellicose right now. I’d like to show those nasty oppressors a thing or two… just as soon as I’ve worked out who they are, obviously. Say - who is the real enemy here…?”

The Oxford Pixie: Summer →
theoxfordpixie:
Summer swims over the hills, Swarming into the grass, Sparking off spires, Skittering in the streets, Sending out the signal - I’m here! I’m here! It begins. Streets crowding with sweat, With smiles, with sweet, stolen kisses, All stress and strife slipping away, The world slows, days slide by, Each one a sensuous burst of song

More writing from me :)

Frost sparks like dew-drop cobwebs, Snow shivers from laden skies, Fate weaves lace ‘tween blades of grass, A world of wonder before my eyes.
And I’m always questioned when and where, Who and what and how and why? As though I’m meant to have a goal, And I should stop dreaming of the sky.

So I often speak about writing, and I’ve decided to put my secondary half-dead blog to use to post some of my writing on, if anyone’s curious.

We used to unravel pretty words, teasing out meaning like knots in the weave, then re-stitch them, hoping for their beauty to tip-toe into our spider-like scrawl, feeling as though we were tearing the wings from butterflies and...
