Thinking I should probably take this influx of new followers to introduce myself again. Hi, I'm Maddison! I write cyberpunk adjacent fiction in a continuous universe with a heavy focus on trans and disabled characters. I have a bunch of links to all my published/major work at maddisonstoff.com ....
I'm convinced that every story is improved by the presence of a vaguely psychopathic or emotionally performative valley girl character and you absolutely cannot change my mind.

I have at least two new stories coming out in different magazines in January and I'm pretty excited. Like, that's never happened to me before.

also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation.
do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

It also fucking sucks that so many people on the Left(s) refuse to understand anti-fatness as a system of oppression, and fat liberation as a legitimate anti-oppression movement.
It sucks, because it's all connected, and if you don't see this part, you don't have a clear understanding of the whole.

They know how to end it, but they decided not to spend the money. They’re prioritizing growth (and profit) above all else. And they’re blaming YOU for logging on to the platform they designed to be unsafe.

Anytime anyone says there are no lgbtq+ in x country. Remember there are just as many lgbtq+ people in those countries as everywhere else. The only difference is They are not allowed to be themselves openly. usually because that country is extremely repressive towards lgbtq+ people.
Trump: "A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, 'What the hell is he talking about? Transitioning?' They don't do a lot of transitioning. They're saying, 'What do you mean women are playing against men? That doesn't happen does it?" Yeah it does. These people are crazy."

God forbid if trans women want more than just table scraps and have politics beyond our own self preservation. We can walk and chew gum! We also recognize how all these issues interconnect! They can only keep this worldview with black and white thinking of choosing the lesser evil by voting blue.

"Isn't it better if the administration is in the hands of people who are just as genocidal as conservatives but who believe in rainbow capitalism and DEI?" is not an opinion someone with a soul would espouse.
