Quill & Still was my Amazon debut. It has cracked eggs, made trans girls cry in yearning, and made 80y/o men enjoy litRPG. It's cozy queer slice-of-life portal fantasy about a middle aged Jewish (OTD) burned-out chemist and a kinder world.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for many things, like having made some progress on my writing this week, my wife being the absolute best, the million-and-one ways modernity is infinitely better than anytime in history, and my spinny rainbow dragons dress.
Also I slept well, that was nice.

This book dares to ask the question:
What if Data but lesbian?
What if Data but lesbian?
I’m using every available bit of energy—which admittedly is not all that much—to get this baby ready for you.
It’s a weird mix of light and thoughtful, sexy and head-trippy, and just all-around fun!
A planetary adventure.
With mechanical lesbians.
And a <redacted redacted>.
Coming soon!

How about my to-be-published book because I know everyone wants to read about loss, grief, and the structural inequalities that deprive us of the right to mourn.

My latest life hack is that if you're a trans girl you should definitely, DEFINITELY ask the pretty girl in the tux for a dance.

If someone compiled a list of post URIs/URLs for the shitheads who swarmed Star, I would be willing to refine my Apocablock script to iterate over the set and create a block list of everyone who posted, Liked, or reposted the vileness. (I'm not gonna do it, I already blocked like 500 tankies.)

Lotta tankies and campists big mad about the idea that woke Democrats in charge of the military are preferable, because what they *want* is that plane to have a hammer & sickle and be dropping bombs on Ukraine.
Personally I prefer the woke military that doesn't blow up Venezuelan fishermen.

I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

apparently transgirl praxis is knowing Robert's Rules of Order (from serving on a city commission) so now the PTA is drafting me to be parliamentarian?

@catvalente.bsky.social Did you at some point write a thing, maybe around 2020, about the screaming rage of a thousand suns we variously contain but as women are not allowed to express, as opposed to men who get to peacock their emotions?

the kid looked her in the eye for a moment, then declared “youre sad” and scurried back behind his mother—whose lips were now pressed together, desperately suppressing a laugh.
