Watching Blake's 7 and knowing if I'd seen this when I was 15 I would have been ABSOLUTELY insufferable about Avon and Cally or Avon and Blake or Avon and whatever gender sludged OC my hormone addled brain would have generated

If you're new to my page, I've got one (1) novel about gloomy trans cyborgs in love, along with a hearty fistful of short stories that shimmy between gay space truckers, lesbian werewolves, and demon tattoos

Honestly very heart warming to take stuff to the food bank/pantry drop off and see the drop off point is absolutely rammed to stuff already

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

the hardest part of writing politically charged fiction is that a good villain needs to be complex, cool and about as right as the protagonist; while evil people in real life are lame, cruel, childish morons motivated by greed or not wanting to look at minorities

American TV shows are wild because you'll discover what seems like a very niche show about Navy seals and it'll turn out it's got 150 episodes, the lead is David Boreanez and it only ended last year

One thing I noticed on my rush hour rewatch was that they dyed Jackie Chan's hair jet black for some season and it looks so odd

Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone.

I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.
