I get off work in 2 and a half hours, and then I'm planning on losing my evening to the links in this thread. These studies sound like a great time.

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

My debut novel Woodworking comes out in THREE WEEKS. Today's pitch: Guilt! It's rare for trans artists to be given as big a platform as my publisher is giving me. Ordering a copy proves there's an audience for these books at a time when many publishers are gun shy.

Did some skeeting about metadata, and the importance of publishers noting that comic artists are authors, at the weekend. Getting it right us is good for company's bottom line, helps *everyone* with findability and marketing and is generally.. good business.

It's hard to express how much is going on here and what a big deal it is. We've been building toward this for over 8 years now, and we genuinely built a video game history research tool that is usable by anyone. We're democratizing game research through a free, no-bullshit, human-curated resource.

ELIZA'S WORLD is a Queer breakup novel wrapped in a modern fantasy about having your suspicions that the world is more bizarre than it appears violently & hilariously confirmed. Combines my love of Nancy Meyers & David Lynch with the tone of popular Queer fantasy like Gideon the Ninth.
