if I wrote a book where a christian (or fantasy stand-in for christian) said something about 'the sin of empathy' everyone would tell me that's too on the nose, we get it you think christians are evil, nobody says things like that

and yet...

So "you need to have an internally consistent believable world" is only one available choice out of many. It is currently the most fashionable choice, and writers who are using it can fairly be evaluated on how they do with it. But it's not the only choice.

This is me singing about how stoked I am to send my current WIP to beta readers today.

Is it a queer mystery/thriller set on a fleet of generation ships? Yes.

Do I want to spoil the surprise tentacle monster by posting about it here? Also yes.

#stopcopcity while we’re at it
If you share Trump’s mugshot today please share that the Fulton County Jail where it was taken, is at 3x it’s capacity, infested with bugs, holding 87% Black people, most of whom haven’t even been convicted of a crime.

6 people have died in custody this year alone. Fuck cops, shut down jails.

Do you know how much space racism takes up in a Black person's life? How we have to navigate all relationships and experiences with a personal discernment of what is and isn't an aggression worth taxing our energy over? How many authors Black editors publish and just have to hope aren't in the Klan?

my current wip (a queer mystery/thriller set on a fleet of generation ships) has passed this test with flying colors five times.

Here’s hoping it survives the next 50
When they say “write the book you want to read” they mean literally because you will read that shit so many goddamn times, you’d better like it
