Today's episode is on asexual and aromantic history! We're talking with Luciella Scarlett, the curator of Nonlimerent // Monosexual: An Aromantic and Asexual History. Join us to hear about the first self-identified ace person, the evolution of ace and aro terminology, and how much we can learn from looking at history through an asexual lens.

You can check out Nonlimerent // Monosexual: An Aromantic and Asexual History online here and see Luciella talk more about her work in the Aces Never Ever Sleep stream here.
