my hottest take is that if you're income is noticeably above the poverty line you should need to be vetted before you can post. leave the socials to the poors i promise we'll take good care of internet

Speaking as a trans woman, I feel like we’re asked, more than any other group of people, to accept that our rights and identity and basic existence have two valid sides, and people can disagree in good faith about whether we’re delusional perverts.
It’s exhausting.

I'm at the point where I think I need to send my old ass WIPs to people for advice on how to revise them because I haven't had a single creative thought in months, it's all just mush in there and that mush is made of Hell's Kitchen and Drag Race and Marvel Rivals

it's called scarlet hollow

are there RPGs that allow you to (frequently) build your characters backstory through dialogue options AS YOU PLAY?
like an NPC asks you "hows your parents" and you can say
"they're fine" or
"I never knew them" or
"they died"
and then the game remembers and brings it up later
I feel that'd be cool

This may be a mean way to say this, but when cis people argue that trans people are "new to oppression" or "recently marginalized," it reads to me as an admission: that because they only became aware of us about 15-20 years ago, it must mean our status as an oppressed community began then.

Yes, I know I repost this a lot. I would love to not have to!
Watching trans people have to do the dance of "Sure it's called the 'All Trannies Must Die Act,' but it's going to affect cis people, too!" to get anyone to give a fuck is deeply disheartening.

Hey, Spines AI Publishing, who are these "experienced book editors" you refer to? After 40 years in the sophisticated business of helping actual writers craft their books, I'm surprised I don't recognise any of them... Also, you know, publishers pay authors, not the other way round. This is a con.
