Everyone's doing intro posts and uh, hi, I'm Heather. You've never heard of me, I've never done anything of note, I mostly just repost other people's stuff because I don't have much to say. Nice to meet you!

I see the book pirating discourse is going around again, and I’m just so tired, y’all.
If you want books to continue to exist, do not steal books. Period. The end.
“But but but…”
No.
There are so many free options out there: fanfiction, libraries, etc. You don’t need to steal books to read.

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.
It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear
"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
