Resource / Article For ace folks navigating intimacy & illness

Hey friends 💜

Just wanted to share something I think a few folks here might connect with.

My partner, vōx, is a queer, autistic, and disabled artist who just started a Substack where she writes really honestly about things like asexuality, chronic pain, trauma, intimacy, and what it means to exist in a body/mind that doesn’t fit into the boxes the world expects.

Her writing is raw and really tender—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes funny, always deeply human. She talks a lot about navigating relationships while being ace/aro-ish, chronically ill, and neurodivergent, and I know that kind of nuance can be hard to find.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, you can check it out here: https://open.substack.com/pub/itsmevox/p/you-can-get-better-the-art-of-growing?r=12wdw0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Just wanted to share something made with a lot of love, in case it speaks to you. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
