Hi! I'm Aubrey!

I write literate, pulpy fantasy novels with queer, neurodivergent characters and anarchist vibes.

IDLE HANDS is neo-noir about rage, pride, and the Devil in Philadelphia.

THE LIVING SEA is a hopepunk serial about adventure, love, and stealing polar ice from towering demons.

Hard to think of a better demonstration of where cis allyship ends tbh.

Your medical needs are impossible for me to help with - it might cost me more money! - but you are SO valid.

Vetoing HRT stockpiling is so fucking ghoulish.

If trans people make it the next 4 years en masse, it will be from our own strength, not because of the Democrats.

"You can change your name, but you can't stockpile on life saving care!" Kiss my ass.

My periodic shout into the void:

The only reason why anyone cares about anyone's gender is cuz the whole of society is based around assigning human rights based on gender (&societal privileges to the "better" genders)*

*terms and conditions apply,worse in some societies than others,but all do this

This concentration of wealth has progressed with every US presidency. And then people ask

“How did we get here?”

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Publicly traded?

It’s not just “the cruelty is the point”

It’s that the spectacle of debating the cruelty to “raise awareness” without the voice of the targets at humans contributes to the dehumanization

and is IN AND OF ITSELF AN ACT OF FASCISM

Autistic people aren’t broken versions of normal.

We are the proof that “normal” was never real.

The world needs our way of seeing - it just doesn’t know it yet.

Philly is the best city in the United States to be in if you’re a living artist who doesn’t come from generations of family wealth. 🦅

God just saw a video some content creator posted of their, like, 8 year old kid getting his younger siblings up, dressed, fed & onto the bus before waking up his parents, and it was framed as "raising a responsible young gentleman!"

Bro thats textbook parentification, that's not a good thing lol

thirty-four people have been arrested outside the broadview ice detention center since illinois state police + the cook county sheriff's office set up "unified command" on oct. 3.

charges range from misdemeanors, like resisting/obstruction, to felonies, like criminal damage to government property.

Anger is a healthy response to cruelty, actually.

How about everybody stop "innovating" fucking door handles. A mechanical latch, a prominent handle, and breakable glass are solved problems.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Your Nationalism is not Antifa.

Winston Churchill was not Antifa.
General Patton was not Antifa.
Your favorite Nationalist was not Antifa.
That’s literally the point.

Being in an ADHD x autistic relationship is having your ADHD partner tend to your emotional regulation needs while you have to save them from the entropy depression pit their environment inevitably becomes.

When I posted a meme saying that we should support Tish James like we did Jimmy Kimmel, heaps of white people began attacking me. Not on Twitter, here on BlueSky. A whole bunch of guilt ridden, hit dogs came here to holler. The problem with America is that racism survives progressivism.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I've heard people say it's Arabic. They think antifa and intifada are the same thing.
