February is Black History Month in the United States. February is also celebrated as FF-February. AND! Today started Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week. So to celebrate all of these topics, the read-a-thon for February is a super diverse bingo board! As a team, we’ll be completing prompts from the bingo board and aiming for bingos and a blackout! This read-a-thon starts February 22nd midnight (your time zone) and ends February 26th midnight (your time zone). Any books finished during this time can count towards the read-a-thon as long as it fits a prompt!
Some terms in case you have no idea what I’m talking about:
Sapphic: The word sapphic comes from the name Sappho, a famous lesbian ancient Greek poet; it refers to women and nonbinary people with a connection to womanhood (not necessarily femininity) who are romantically and/or sexually attracted to other women and nonbinary people with a connection to womanhood. It's an umbrella term for several queer identities including lesbians, bisexuals, pansexuals, asexuals, aromantics, and questioning people.
Aromantic: someone who feels little to no romantic attraction. It can also be used as an umbrella for people on the aromantic spectrum. Although aromantics do not experience romantic attraction, they may still engage in relationships that may or may not be of a romantic nature.
FF: A romantic or sexual pairing/relationship that is between two females.
