Universal Asexual Caturn Bookmarks are in my Ko-fi shop, and there’s a limited supply, so grab one before they’re gone!

I loved making a Uni Ace version of this bookmark. The Universal Asexual flag was designed by Ashabi of @_aceingrace_ and the dandelion yellow stripe is my favorite part. Go follow them to learn more about the flag and the work behind it.

The back has a moon QR code that links to an asexual resource page, plus an “if found, return to” spot so your bookmark can find its way home.

My art is also at @ferndalecatshelter right now, and every purchase made through the shelter includes a donation to their homeless kitties.

Buying from me directly supports a disabled LGBTQ+ human artist. Made for ace readers, book lovers, and anyone on the asexual spectrum who wants a little queer art tucked into their current read. (And if you're not ace, that's ok too, you're still supporting an ace!)

Shop at ko-fi.com/thelarsonlens/shop, linked in my bio. If buying isn’t in reach right now, saving or sharing this post helps it reach more ace folks too.

Also, it's been a minute, but I'm pretty sure the book is Olivia Gray Will Not Fade Away by @cierasburch go check it out! Back of the Caturn bookmark on a purple and gold galaxy background. A moon QR code sits above the text “look within yourself,” “not a void, but a universe,” “ever-expanding,” and “If found, return to:” with blank lines, plus linktr.ee/asexualresource.

Ever since this book was announced it has made my heart sing to think of a children's book about my identity. You would think an adult book would mean more but perhaps for me as an auntie, ex-children's librarian it means more. If I could I would hand it to every child I know of the right age. Thank you @acedadadvice thank you @jkpbooks @gaysthewordbookshop for the representation that we have dreamed of. I may do a live storyline for this!

Love Looks Like Lola by @acedadadvice & illustrated by @sianmary_art is officially out in the world from @jkpbooks! Lola is a moving celebration of friendship, chosen family, belonging, and the many ways our hearts connect. Congratulations, Cody!!

Extra special shout out to @ck_emme--Lola's first friend, champion, and agent 💕

***

What does love look like? Is it holding hands? Sharing kisses? Getting married? When Claire spends the weekend with her amazing Aunt Lola, she discovers love can look like many things.

While watching her parents' wedding video, Claire wonders why Aunt Lola never got married. Lola explains that she's aroace - asexual and aromantic -which means she's complete just as she is and loves people through friendship, care, and connection. Through their time together, Claire meets the friends, neighbours, and chosen family who make up Lola's community and realises that love isn't only about romance or marriage, but about kindness, respect, and belonging.

Love Looks Like Lola introduces asexual and aromantic identities and helps children see that love isn't one-size-fits-all. With warmth, humour and heart, it invites readers to explore the many ways love can look and reminds us that every kind of love is worth celebrating.
