I do a lot of thinking, then write and respond.

Pretty language and such I can do better in later drafts, but I gotta tend the plot and pacing as I go along otherwise I feel like it’s all falling apart and I lose momentum?

So, I’ll reread sections a lot and tinker as I go through a multi-draft.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.

Seeing small windows into the world we could have is so heartbreaking and so beautiful sometimes. This should not be so rare.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I will one day hold a MTG card that says “cowabunga” on it.

I know this to be true.

Fav at the moment is @ambergreymusic.bsky.social

There’s a lot of greats, but TS is not one of them by miles. I can appreciate her ability to build spectacle and such, make a good bop or whatever, but I need some soul, some grounded human realness.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.
