I wrote a book about a "tradcon" white man coming to grips with his and America's bigotry while in prison therapy. Why? Because no one else has, and people struggling to unlearn hatred need relatable characters to show them the way.

Part of me is just, like, Im so sick of perfecting my books.
Ive wrung every single drop of joy out of the process of writing them and obsessing over them. Ive chewed well beyond the point of losing their flavor and are now just rubbery in my mouth.
I just want them off my desk and on a shelf!

I love this b/c it’s such a nice way of saying “Stop enshittifying the lives of people who aren’t cis white men.”
And it seems everything I say lately has an implied “comma asshole” after it.

My books are for those that want to see themselves in fantasy. I aim to make my stories as inclusive as possible with characters that are queer, neurodiverse, disabled, have different body types, have different skin colors, etc.

Just went through the BlueSky Moderation filter and holy fuck the mods are condescendingly paternalistic and delusional.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

What if you learned a bit too late that everything you'd been taught about American freedom and supremacy was wrong? Now you find yourself learning the truth, up close and personal, how the "American dream" doesn't die so easily.

Writing about topics in ways that people haven't thought about before. I wholeheartedly believe the world should be seen as a singular thing with many facets, not a book we should rip pages we dislike out of. The world needs to be seen as it IS for us to truly change for the better.

We can all write about social justice till our fingers fall off, but until the privileged can relate to its pain, they won't change. So I wrote a book that turns the tables, letting a privileged bigot experience ol' America's discrimination for himself.
