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

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.

If your end of the year best-of list doesn't include any self-published books, we can't be friends anymore unless you're willing to listen to my TED talk and switch things up in the coming year...

My autistic sin is that there's a subset of autistic people that I just do not get along with. Mostly, their voices are too loud for my ears, but also they tend toward what seems to be narcissism even though it's probably just autism.
My autistic sin is that, despite loving dinosaurs and chicken tendies, I HATE dino nuggets.
Every kind I have tried has had either a weird aftertaste or an off-putting texture or both.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.
