Ace in the Wild: An Asexual Perspective of Hot Topics & Events

AiTW Episode 15 - Henry David Thoreau: Ace in the Walden

After a long hiatus I have returned to make an extended episode on a man that I used to idolize and where I get way too philosophical! Henry David Thoreau was an author, abolitionist, naturalist, and a major part of the transcendental movement of the mid-19th century. His most famous work was Walden where he went to go live out by himself for two years next to a pond in the woods of Massachusetts.
Quiet, shy, and rather introverted, he himself would probably never have guessed how popular he would become after his untimely death at 44. He is a hero to many today and embodies the ideal human being who is connected to nature and opposed to the capitalist and imperialist machines that was just beginning to rev their engines during his time.  
Most importantly, He was a fellow ace... who lived the the wild!

AiTW - "I feel Lost in the Dating Market"

A bit of a rant about my current quest for making friends and finding my life partner. My method has been to try and find people that I connect with and build a strong friendship with and then proceed to date. However, my slow burn methodology and my lack of initial romantic interest has made dating a disheartening and burdensome experience for me.

AiTW Episode 14 - James Buchanan: The Mystery of "Old Buck"

An analysis of the 15th President of the United States and whether he was gay, ace, or something else entirely. I go off on many tangents here so be prepared!

AiTW - "Am I Lucky Being Ace?"

This is more of a reflection than a proper episode. I've been told "I'm lucky" to be an ace and I have always taken a bit of umbrage to people saying it, despite their good intentions. Today I reflect on this statement and why I don't think it applies to me or to other aces in general.

AiTW Episode 13 - William Pitt the Younger: The ’Schoolboy’ Prime Minister

I'm back to my regular format for the time being. I've been wanting to discuss this exceptional British Prime Minster who took over the position at the ripe age of 24 and held power for nearly twenty years.  Pitt not only fixed the nation's financial woes after the loss of the American Colonies, but also faced off against Napoleon in the largest European war to date and had to contend with the ongoing madness and mental decline of his Monarch, King George III. He is truly a fascinating figure and one of the few people in history who I can confidently slap the 'certified asexual' moniker on.

AiTW - SPECIAL EPISODE: Fakes and Flakes (ft. Diana)

Chaos ensues as my friend Diana joins me for over two hours! We talk about a plethora of spicy topics including fake aces and flaky boys. We also go off on tangents and side quests and use colorful language so viewer discretion is advised! You have been warned...

AiTW - An Update on Future Episodes

Hi all, just wanted to update you on where I was in terms of future episodes and the podcast in general. I'm really trying to build a larger network because at times I feel like I'm talking into the void. I'm very passionate about these topics and I just don't feel like they are getting the attention they need. So for now I plan to keep going but upload with a bit less frequency until I get more of a listener base or collaboration with friends and/or other creators, thank you! <3Email: desmond.sedai@gmail.comYoutube: @Deszigames (this is the platform I focusing most on right now to garner more listeners)Ista: deszi_m

AiTW Episode 11 - Demisexual

I've been wanting to address this subset of Asexuals for a while now and this ended up being one of the more research-heavy episodes thus far. My motivation was a discussion with a friend where I felt I was woefully informed. I might do a second part to this topic but I think I covered the major talking points and controversy regarding this unique set of individuals!

AiTW Episode 10 - The Seattle Freeze

After a series of misadventures on my quest to find local friends I've decided to share my experiences in this episode. Are people in the Pacific Northwest notoriously unfriendly? Are they passive-aggressive flakes? Do they make plans and then not show up to them? Is the weather to blame? Are these all just stereotypes? Find out here as I explore the mysteries surrounding the Seattle freeze!

AiTW Episode 9 - ACES (2022) - An LGBTQIA+ Short Film: A Review

---Original video: https://youtu.be/lCtiwbHEMOw---My reaction video: https://youtu.be/HNJ6BG5tEwgA relatively short episode for a video that I found about a year and a half ago. It follows a young couple and all seems to be going well until one partner pushes too far and an argument breaks out. One of the better short films I've seen representing an ace exploring their boundaries and finding out about themselves. I've posted a video review of this as well on YouTube for those who want to see!
