I'm a fantasy writer who loves speculative biology and who spends way too much time constructing fictional ecosystems and exploring how they relate to the world's magic and not enough time plotting events.

I have decided to give in to the whimsical urge to write romantasy.

For me, fiction was often the only lifeline providing hope that a better life was possible.

Art absolutely saves lives.

On the theme of censorship, I didn’t find out how transition works from school or from my church or from anyone with a duty of care to me. I found out from a novel.

as we enter into a new era of internet censorship, it is your solemn duty to break the egg prime directive. do it constantly. tell everyone. tell them again. tell them about estrogen and about T.

I made it to my mid-teens before I even knew what transition was. let’s not go back to that.

Be unapologetically weird, a message from the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill.

#JohnStuartMill #Utilitarianism #OnLiberty
In this age, the mere example of nonconformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service. Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach, it is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigour, and moral courage which it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric, marks the chief danger of the time. ― On Liberty, John Stuart Mill

I'm not a daily social media kinda person. No one said it has to be '20 consecutive days.' 😉

This is how books are burned in the modern day.

Pretending you don't see it is the same as lighting the match yourself.

Do not look away.

Go to the CDC website now enter any of these words:
- lgbtq
- transgender
- diversity
- equity
Most of the links w important resources which we use daily to guide care and prioritize interventions for vulnerable populations are currently broken or removed. This erasure will harm. Do not look away.

Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favorite sci-fi franchise.

The Mass Effect Trilogy takes the award for best game in my humble opinion. But for film, I'd have to go with:
