Lowkey spoiler for my next book
2024 was the Year of the Puppygirl, and in 2025 mechsploitation really broke out. thus, i predict the hot new kink for 2026 is: Ancient Rune Magicks

Lowkey spoiler for my next book
I wrote my book NIGHTS THEY FORGOT in 2024 but set it in 2025, hoping to preempt and examine the paranoia and powerlessness that might be imposed by an incoming fascist government. For the book that I’ll begin drafting tomorrow, I’ll be manifesting some clarity and power instead.
See you in 2026.

you are the person closest to your own body: its caretaker but also its harshest critic. some of the faults you see in your body are so invisible to others that they’ll never even be judged, and i believe we owe our bodies some grace for that. now, if you don’t mind, i need to go epilate my knuckles

months ago, i cooked dinner for someone on a first date and they started an HBO Max free trial on my TV to watch a movie after. a few dates later, they ended things over text and said not to reply. so i won’t tell them that i’m watching Heated Rivalry on the HBO Max subscription they never canceled

A highlight of my holiday with family in south central PA was meeting my step-sister’s cousin’s fiancée, who gendered me correctly on what appeared to be sheer instinct. She hesitated so hard that I can only assume she’d never used a singular “they” before. Now there’s a gift that money can’t buy.

It never ceases to blow my mind that so many tech, sci-fi, futurism backers ended up swinging so far right. Did they entirely miss the point of the sci-fi novels? That identity, self, personal exploration is something we can nurture and grow? It's like instead they said, "no we like the dystopia."

My favorite TV show, Maniac, deals with an experimental AI that’s tasked with eradicating all forms of mental illness. When the lead scientist’s mother asks him how many patients in the AI trial have ended up catatonic, he says: “Zero… roughly.”
Outside of science fiction, that joke doesn’t land.
