Hi! I'm a technical writing professor with specializations in biomedical communication, page design, and trans stuff, and I do Thing Explainers on all that.
This is a thread of some of my bigger pieces, for anyone stumbling across my profile for the first time!

Here's a question for people:
Vibe is a big deal for me when I'm writing fiction, and I got a whole playlist together for Nameless and it's characters, to help me get in the right perspective for each.
Is a sort of "Meet the Cast" thread, with music, of interest, or would that be spammy?

Well, that went viral.
Hi, new folks. I'm Zoe, I'm trans, I do technical writing, and I work to explain complicated science, especially trans science, in simple terms. Think Good Eats, but with estrogen.
I've got a Substack with better editing and less swearing about rich people. 👋

I've been kinda numb today, in no small part because of the E-files revelations that this whole trans genocide was so that the friends of some billionaires were chasers.
I... I wrote about this for my scholarly book. I put so much effort into showing it.
I get how Sexton feels. Fucking fuck.

2 years ago, I came out publicly by posting a comic on the same day I started HRT. It resonated with a lot of people, and since I deleted my twitter I'd like for it to have a place here on bsky instead. (1/3)

Tbh this doesnt feel like a big revelation to me.
Seemed kind of obvious the anti-trans movement for example was largely just a means to cast suspicions away from actual child predators

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.
"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

I've found that I just seem to categorically not care for toxic yuri as a genre. I've never read anything in the genre that didn't turn pretty quickly into nightmare fuel for me.
Maybe there's something about it I just don't get, or maybe it's me being demi and that sort of abusive relationship--

I wish my demisexuality felt like this to me--uncomplicated and a relief to discover.
My experience is more... It feels like playing Russian roulette with everyone you get close to. So you become paranoid about who you let in. Which leads to more superficial relationships, which aren't satisfying.

Yes, demons are sexy, but demisexuality is actually the name for feeling sexual desire only ✨after✨ developing an emotional connection with someone, as @scribbletoons.bsky.social explains in this comic from our archive. 1/2

It'd be funny is just, one day, someone showed up for a booty call and when the other person opened the door they just went
"Arrr ye cannot have me treasure!!"
And just ran off into the night, no other explanation.
Just once.
As a treat. 🤭

We don't have an official diagnosis, but it looks to be cancer... of the treatable variety. I hate that B and I need to look at our finances to make a decision once a diagnosis confirms things, but things are as they are.
I consider this to be a medium-case outcome.

My cat has some scanning with a specialist today to look at a mass near her lung. Her symptoms have been getting noticeably better over the last month, so fingers crossed for a miracle.
I'm not a spiritual gal, but if any of you are, my sweet little dear could use any help she can get.
