The official policy of the United States has also been slavery, greed and corruption. I do not care.
As for me and my house, gender is a choice. The end.

New to Bluesky but happy to be here. Slowly adapting but one thing is for sure. I won’t be responding to any comments or posts that trigger me even a little.
I wont even respond if I feel like the tone is off. Engage calmly and kindly or we won’t engage.

The secret is that other writers aren't competition; they're peers, colleagues and friends. Someone who reads me is going to read other writers as well; the entire publishing economy is "yes, and." Therefore it does me no harm, and much good, to support other writers and to wish them well.
And Heinlein would have approved! Terry Pratchett said, "Most SF writers were once fans. There's a habit they have, not of paying back, but of paying forward; I know of no other branch of literature where the established "names" so keenly encourage wannabe writers to become their future competitors
