My fluffy black cat likes to be picked up and carried around (for a couple minutes anyway). She tucks her head under my chin when I do so.
She's an ass like 70% of the time but also I'd kill for her. You know what I mean.

I think dehumanization is less about the loss of body or will or mind. It's about how others treat you. You could be completely unchanged, but if the people around you, if society, decides you're not human, then isn't that far more dehumanizing than replacing body with machine?

I would love to explore the dehumanization of trans people through industrial horror. So much of society paints us as evil, groomers, body mutilators, simultaneously a powerful group with an agenda and weak 'fakes'. So much more I could say but not enough characters.

Hello! I'm Opal, I write horror, gothic romance, fantasy, and sci fi. Industrial horror of the future is by far the scarier, in my opinion. There's something to be said for dark, gritty factories, but the shiny polish of futuristic tech as a thin veneer over evil is intense.

It’s a good day to talk about women scientists. Let’s also remember Margaret W. Rossiter, who died in August of this year.
She coined the “Matilda Effect” (named after suffragist Matilda Gage), which describes bias against acknowledging women’s achievements.

My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity. A face slowly lifts, eyes squinting in the light of my flashlight beam cutting through the darkness. Then another. And another.
Thousands. There are thousands, and I'd just woken them all.

No truth, terrible or otherwise, should be hidden from humanity.

A terrible truth that I wish more people would accept: Most people are one bad day from total destruction, and it is almost always the fault of Capitalism. There are better ways, they just require work.

An ideal seal containing a terrible truth would, more than likely, be incredibly intricate and complicated, require a dangerous quest and a difficult sacrifice to open.
But then, a seal containing a terrible truth should be easy to open. Many terrible truths need to be known.

That's a tough question. I think very few fears have actually been 'forgotten', they've just evolved.
Not to get too political, but it would be nice if we could bring back the fear of greed as a sin. Too many people see wealth as an indicator of good morals.

I try to keep the old in my stories. I find it difficult to write about things like the horrors of modern day (ongoing genocides, climate change, AI taking over, etc.), it's all too real. Writing is my escape.

Unrelated, I am working with my spouse to create our own TTRPG. We each have more than 15 years of TTRPG and LARP experience, and we're using it all to make the best game we can.
