Also: sex is good! Masturbation is good! Connecting with your fantasies is good! Having access to authentic sexual expression that you might not have IRL is good! Sexual repression is bad. Sexual shame is bad. Attempting to control other people’s sexuality is bad. It’s not that complicated!

I was running outside for recess in 5th grade, came to a dead stop and turned around to check and make sure my friend was behind me. She was. She slammed into me and I fell like handsome Squidward right onto my wrist and fractured it

Wow, we bombed the capital of a non-enemy and kidnapped a Head of State and murdered >80ppl doing it ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Fascism isn’t new to the US. It’s always been here. It’s built into this country‘s DNA. Bigotry is our primary export. We just quantified and qualified it under the false title of ”freedom” because that’s what the masses here want & what (yht) ppl with guns & bibles as their personality like to hear

Another thing I'm trying to do this year is put myself out there more even knowing I will get some rejections. But I won't get those acceptances without risking some rejection

I have so many books, please get a softcover!

À lot of people are mean and miserable on social media because they can't figure out how to fix what's broken in their lives and have decided to lash out at strangers they feel particularly parasocial about. They won't ever realize that's what they're doing, but... I see it. 😔

One of the things I'll be working on this month is updating my websites. I've hidden them until they're ready for me to relaunch. I've let a lot of admin stuff go because I didn't have the energy to keep up with it, but it's time. I'm gonna get back on track.

🌙Late night WIP thoughts🌙 Thinking about the tonal shifts in UNTETHERED between each act using music as a guide Act 1: The Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd Act 2: Bloodborne soundtrack Act 3: God of War (2018) soundtrack Act 4: God of War Ragnarok soundtrack

I should write an essay on personal experiences and how no book is going to be the Pinnacle of representation on... anything and expecting marginalized authors to make their rep part of a greater monolith YOU invented in your mind is fucking stupid.

Woke up at 3:30 this morning from a weird dream that made me feel like I was full of static. Like I had slipped out of my body while sleeping and hadn't fully made my way back in when I woke up. Had to get up, walk around, and drink some water before I could lay back down. 0/10 do not recommend 😒

My favorite part of the holiday season is getting my new planner, my 12-month calendar, and my desk calendar and setting them up. Unfortunately, in order to set everything up, I need to clean off my desk because it's become a catch-all

I made dinner, prepped the meat for the sauce tomorrow, made some tea, and now I'm gonna sit on my ass and watch Krampus

Sometimes when you white queers are all up in your man hating you just end up sounding racist and ableist and many other such things bc you ignore all the other axes in which men exist and I’m a little over it to be real

THIS BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY is a particular exciting project I've been thinking about. My fuck you to fatphobia

December 19th sketch

I’m so scared all the time and the fear *hurts*.

i think if your editiorial comments are "this makes me, the editor, uncomfortable and I think you should change it" that in no way service the book you've been given, I think you need to reconsider what books you think you can handle and stop making it everyone's problem

Just so I’ve been 100% clear on this recently, and not just through reposting people saying things better than I think I’d be able to: the attack on trans rights—especially on trans healthcare—is hate. It’s not science. It’s not "protecting" kids. It’s 100% fucking hate, and it’s wrong.

Publishers have always been risk-averse, and this has gotten incrementally worse, but the last 5 years have accelerated it drastically. We see this with streamers, as well. Everything now *needs* to be a breakout/blockbuster that makes a gajillion. There's far less room for different stories.

LRP one of the issues in the gaming industry (and other industries too) is that everyone is so focused on making that realistic, graphically mind-blowing, big blockbuster game to beat all blockbusters, instead of diversifying. Indies are carrying the midlist titles (again, in many industries)

Not every AAA game needs to be 80+ hours long and take 7 years to make and sell ten million copies to hit “targets.” We don’t need to keep doing that.

People should talk more about shit they love, it's a great way to make friends

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

I pick any battle that pushes back against "AI." It does not and cannot replace human creativity and ingenuity.

I'm so very excited to say that WHERE WILLOWS WEEP has been nominated for the Indie Ink Awards in three categories: Best Setting Writing the Future We Need: Bisexual or Biromantic Rep Writing the Future We Need: Trans or Nonbinary Rep indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

Well, this is incredibly disappointing. As excited as I was for Divinity, I think I'll pass.

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com
