Cat-obsessed queer lefty autistic feminist. She/they. Protect trans kids and free Palestine.
Not nearly as humourless as this bio makes me sound.
I'm at the launch of Antjie Krog's "autobiographical novel" at Love Books in Melville and it's so completely packed that I've found a spot on an ottoman around the corner through the doorway.

Also! I have started writing again to deal with my anger and despair at *waves in the general direction of the world*. This is an English translation of an op-ed I wrote for Netwerk24 about the hypocrisy of Trump supporters who claim to be Christians.

I'm surrounded by whited sepulchres.

I created a Blue Sky account last year and then immediately went offline for like three months because I 1) unexpectedly had surgery and 2) was struggling with the whole societal collapse thing. But I'm going to try and be around more!

There's a long history of Hamlet being played by middle-aged men when he's so clearly written as a sulky teen bursting with rage but with zero power at the court; understand that and the academics' debated question of "Why does Hamlet delay?" goes away

Been meaning to join bluesky for like a year – I even had an invite! – but the combination of the US going tits-up and FB censure finally pushed me here. It seems...nice.

Can confirm that Storygraph is great. Didn't know it was Black woman owned!
people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙
