I'm Will Couper, that writer you've never heard of. I toil away, sending out horror, fantasy, and (rare) sci-fi. Mostly responsive to stimuli. I'll block bigots on sight.

The entire British media fabricated a "scandal" at Tavistock and there were only 8 complaints over an entire decade. Yet the most actual common issues were about access to care and waiting lists.

Particularly since easier access to rape of all kinds and enhanced immunity from any consequence has been revealed beyond shadow of doubt as one of the primary —if not the sole—motivations behind the drive to acquire vast wealth.

What's been such a revelation in the Epstein releases is that so many creepy and unpleasant conspiracies are happening. For real. Yet the conspiracy theorists have, all along, been substantially wrong about everything. They've been guided into exactly the wrong things.

I'm a carer. I feel this thread deep in my bones.
I would like to express something in no uncertain terms about the publishing industry re availability and I would really like this carved in stone. Carers and chronically ill writers are structurally disadvantaged in prestige economies. This is brutal and rarely said out loud. I need more support
