Hi, I’m Izzy!! I read, watch, write, and breathe horror and poetry, play a lot of D&D, work as a peri-operative nurse, and moonlight as a Deep Space Nine & Stargate fan who derives immense joy + energy from even the most tangential reference. My partner and I live in Florida with our cats.

Newbies will think I'm lying when I say that, before Bluesky supported gifs, we would type something like "surprised guy gif" and everyone understood it and we were fine

An excellent article on book banning, its reach, how unpopular and wasteful it is, and tactics we can use to stop it.

I write about it all here on my blog.

Remember the rules here: Don’t ever engage, just block.
It’s still a lot of randos coming into posts to antagonize or debate on purpose. Dont fall for the okeedoke. If the vibes are weird block
Also remember that you can detach quotes, hide bad replies, and blocking here is nuclear

I actually don’t really have anything clever or insightful to say about this it just infuriates me. I hate these people so much. Testing down the future to appease your moron id’s inchoate notion of “common sense”. People are going to die because of this.
A lot of what NIH does is fund basic research into public health that is not profitable for pharmaceutical companies to do. This is what you get with someone who does not believe in research.

Whatever the project, something about writing it should scare you a little. A theme you struggle with, a story that doesn't follow the rules, a piece of yourself you're being vulnerable about. That it scares you a little to write it means it's probably worth writing.
