They/them. An ace, agender, autistic fren-shaped person. Owned by three cats. And a Roomba with googly eyes. I'll post pictures eventually.

been thinking a lot lately about how the baseline fantasy of m/f romance novels is "what if a man wanted to fuck you, but *also* liked you, as a person"

It’s World Human Rights Day. Today is a reminder that political talk of “respecting dignity” is just gaslighting when governments deport people who need asylum, enable genocide, censor LGBT folks, trash disabled lives, and police women’s bodies. We must refuse this and cultivate our shared humanity.

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

As we go into 2025 and resolution setting

It is my hope that we remember

Self care is a term coined by a black queer woman focusing on sustaining activism work especially regarding intersectional activism while battling cancer.

Please read the work of Audre Lorde.

I promise you, your favorite queer authors are a size 4 or 5 star review at the review site of your choice!
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Babes, we all use Instagram filters (I know I do) but if you are a white person and you are using an Instagram filter that makes your skin so brown you look like a POC?

My sibling in Christ? You are unintentionally doing brown face.

Hi all!

I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides:

High infant mortality is not inevitable, it is not necessary, all it does is produce cruelty and discrimination and inconsolable grief. The Breast Only warriors are eugenicists.

Fed is best.

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

Marcel has been hard at work fighting the tree and causing general mayhem during his first Christmas (which is his job as a kitten, of course). In case you haven't heard, I am running a fundraiser for our local animal shelter right now - please consider donating if you can! givebutter.com/n5l31M

it was, in hindsight,* a mistake to hand over the running of our institutions of higher learning to a roving class of administrators.

*also at the time
these people are fraudsters selling snake oil and after their reforms crash and burn they'll be on to the next institution to do the same song and dance

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer:

A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea.

That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity.

Restrain it at your own peril.

Guy says: "Wow, I didn't have TERFs would pivot & go after AuDHD people on my 2025 BINGO card"

Me, fuming: "I've literally been warning, for YEARS, in WRITING even, that transphobia & autistiphobia go hand in hand while people acted like I was overreacting for drawing the explicit connection"
Once again, I need people to stop confusing the order of your awareness with the order of oppression.

Ableism is not new. The popularity of ableist beliefs, including those about ADHD, is not new, and it’s pretty insulting to watch you “discover” it like a European guy tripping over a continent.

Well, I've had a weird and kinda gross morning on here, so I'm going to step back for a minute.

Buy trans books. Buy a lot of trans books. Today and every day.
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

I COULD be done early today, buuuuuuut of course I have office hours. Will any students come to my office hours? Highly unlikely. Do I still have to sit there waiting for students to come just in case they do? Yup.
