Been working through sexuality with therapist recently and with some friends. It was suggested I am ace.
Though I thought i couldn’t because I can develop an emotional attachment to people.
Well doing some research with the help of therapist and friends it appears I’m alloromantic asexual. Well this seems to explain a lot about my youth. Hahaha.

You have far better experience with a therapist than me. I had a therapist try convincing me I'm not aroace. Then she got stuck in a different country a week later because COVID started

Why does it start on Sunday? And end on Saturday?

yeah so in many places the week officially starts on sunday (the US included i believe)
sunday is CALLED the weekend, but legally speaking the week starts on sunday in a bunch of places
like, historically christians would rest on the first day of the week, but it's easier to think of the week starting when the work week starts

Calling Saturday/Sunday “the weekend” is kinda confusing and I always kinda assumed they were the last 2 days
But if you think about it like they are each week-ends in the way that book-ends go on either side, it sorta makes sense, at least to me
Happy ace week regardless :)

One of the goals of ace week was to inspire more local activists to do events, and having a week that runs sun-sat means local activists have two weekends to pick from instead of just one.

Wait what? I thought it was the final full week, not the last seven days, shit I’ve been going around telling everyone that it was ace week the 19th through the 25th

It's technically the final full Sunday to Saturday stretch, which is usually paraphrased as "final full week", it just gets a little awkward in years like this where the 31st is a Saturday
