Aro Wolf, or should I say Aroooooooh Wolf?

I really like how this wolf turned out! The aro color palette continues to be wonderful. Green is a good color.

My original art made in Procreate, image descriptions in alt text.

Despite my current state of hands in splints, I'm continuing my series of pride-themed cross-stitch bookmarks with a rainbow "queer" text design.

This post includes bookmark charts for three, six and nine horizontal-stripe pride flags. (Five-stripe flags, like the aromantic flag, can be stitched by assigning a stripe to each letter.)

For folding, fringing and general construction instructions, please see my original bookmark tutorial.

Aro Books For Pride

Something I've noticed through the years, is that straight and queer people alike often have a tendency to forget about a specific queer identity: aromanticism.

Sometimes it's misunderstood, sometimes it's confused with asexuality, and sometimes it's ignored and/or erased.

This pride month, 23 authors have come together to gather their works and offer them at a discounted price to celebrate aromantic representation from all over the spectrum.

Whether it's to read them during pride month or the rest of the year, by buying this bundle you can get yourself tons of books while also  supporting indie authors directly during a time when every little bit of support and community counts more than anything.

Get 23 books for $15, or get all 36 books for $20.

NOTE: this is a bundle that also incudes 18+ content intended for an adult audience.

If this is your first time hearing of the term aromanticism, or if you've heard about it before but are confused about what exactly it is and/or how it differs from asexuality, here's lots of cool resources (and also, my own beginner guide I made some time ago).

The Aromantic-spectrum Union for Recognition, Education, and Advocacy is trying to raise $500 for general website and organizational costs by June 30th. You can help us reach our goal here!

[Image Description: A square graphic that reads “You can help fund aromantic resources this Pride!” The text is next to the AUREA logo and is situated on a green text box with a dark green border. Above the text is a green box with 3 pride flag hearts in it: rainbow pride, aromantic pride, and transgender pride flag hearts.]

Happy Pride Month!

[Image description: A square graphic that is split down the middle diagonally. The left section of the graphic is light green. The right half is a rainbow, with all of the colors meeting at a single point in the bottom left corner and fanning out to cover the entire right side of the graphic. Overlayed in the middle of the graphic is a white box. Inside the box, there is text reading “JUN Happy Pride: Cheer and uplift aro and queer voices this month!”. Under the text is a small graphic of the AUREA logo. The top-left corner of the white box is overlaid with a stamp with the aromantic flag inside. The bottom-left corner of the white box is overlaid with two people holding hands. The one on the right is walking and the one on the left is using a wheelchair. There is an aromantic flag with hearts affixed to the wheelchair. The bottom-right corner of the white box is overlaid with an elderly individual in aromantic flag colors and two adults and a child walking hand-in-hand below aromantic-colored streamers.]
