Growing up in a military family, Tristen Epps moved around a lot. But no matter where he was living, Friday nights were sacred. He got to dress up, go to a restaurant, not order from a kids menu, and feel like he was getting to know the place he was living — for now. At home, when his mom taught him to scramble an egg, he was mesmerized by the alchemy; one simple ingredient could transform into so many things. It's that wonder and curiosity that transformed him into the leader, visionary, and Top Chef winner he is today. He joined Tinfoil Swans at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen to talk about his mission to “un-colonize colonized food,” the freedom he feels cooking in Air Jordans, why it's important to him to celebrate oxtails with Michelin-level finesse, and his belief that cooking has power to correct history.

The pronatalists should scare the hell out of you. 1:01:31

1:01:31

Pronatalists like JD Vance, Elon Musk, and Simone & Malcom Collins have very dangerous ideas for society that everyone should be raising alarm bells about. Unfortunately, they have tremendous wealth and power and they're infiltrating every level of our federal government, so we need to take them very seriously.…

Asexual Representation: Greta Moreno in Generation 1:06:29

12 weeks тому1:06:29

1:06:29

HBO's Genera+ion held so much promise for a sapphic, mixed-orientation allo-ace relationship. It is pretty obvious that Greta is an Asexual teenager whose only just beginning to understand herself and probably doesn't have the language for it yet, however, the show got cancelled, so we unfortunately won't get to see more of her character development.…

It's time to dive into the deep, dark depths of the Acephobia-Transphobia pipeline. A phenomenon which has been self-reported by TERFs and witnessed by the Asexual community for years. If you're new here because J.K. Rowling's hate tweets attacking International Asexuality Day surprised you, then welcome! We've got SO MUCH to catch you up on...…

On International Asexuality Day, JK Rowling wished us a "Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag". Large swaths of the internet were surprised and concluded that her bigotry is growing...but any Aces paying attention already predicted this would happen YEARS ago, because transphobia and acephobia go hand in hand.…

Even though Word of God representation leaves a lot to be desired, Viktor could be a very interesting case study as a character that became more fleshed out and humanized at the same time he was determined to be Asexual. This bucks usual trends we see when a character's asexuality gets erased as they grow.…
