The name “Apomictal Project” is an allusion to the concept of “apomixis”, through which plants can create new seeds via asexual reproduction and release them to propagate across the landscape. In much the same way, I hope that the resources and ideas shared here can become seeds for a future generation of ace community leaders.
About This Site
Part personal blog and part resource repository, this site is a solo passion project dedicated to propagating tools and resources for asexual activism and organizing. It features both more formal articles on asexual history and research critiques and methodologies, and more casual articles about my personal experiences and off the cuff musings.
In addition to written articles, this project is also dedicated to curating resources for asexual community organizers and activists, with a mix of examples and templates from my own work as well as my favorite highlights from other projects throughout ace community history.
