"the transgender community has been colonized by cissexual nonbinaries"

Jesus fuck what

the concept of being transgender has largely been colonized by cissexual nonbinary people. the concept of polyamory has largely been colonized by swingers. is there anything you people won't take over and make about yourselves.

Downloaded a thing that does give me one, but it un-defaults itself every time I shut down the laptop.

The first time I laid eyes on Akakios, child of Diodotos, xe was drunkenly trying to start a high-end turbobike outside the Draped Vine. Xe had a young-looking face, but xer hair was bone white and xer slight yet toned arms were covered in fading scars. I could tell by xer eyes that xe was wasted, but otherwise xe looked like every hard-working sailor I drank with in those days; it was a strange sight for a high-end establishment like the Vine.

Behind the sailor was a girl. Her hair and dress were a deep red—like blood oozing from a wound—and her disinterested smirk marked her as the kind of woman I would have let walk all over me. Her skin was nearly as pale as Akakios' hair. The elegance of that woman almost outmatched the elegance of the bike. Not quite.

A rather annoyed parking attendant stood next to the bike, one hand holding it steady as xe struggled with the controls. The man was the usual half-tough character in ostentatious white garb, with the name of the bar displayed on his crisp suit in dark purple. He was at the end of his rope.

"Look," he said, his voice as sharp as a knife, "you've got to move the bike. I can even turn it on for you if it gets you out of here faster." He reached for the controls but yelped when Akakios slapped his hand away.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

The best thing you can do for your writing is to take good care of yourself. The work comes easier, faster, and better when you've got full bars.

Corollary: The best thing we can do to get more amazing art from our faves is to take good care of the artists.
