It’s been a long time, and I’m not sure you’re still active here. Your engagement with social media seems to wax and wane. I wish I could go cold turkey with this general time suck. I left a couple of comments on Patreon, this time more serious than the usual Diane worship. Please check it out.

Wow! I’ll buy one when the used price is 6,000 or less, like my beloved Element. This one looks quite big, though.

I wonder if you’re using the right paper, the right ink, because skipping like that is usually from the ink flowing too freely, so it empties the feed and needs to be restarted. Clean the pen, talk to a pen expert, and buy what she recommends.

In case of a block on DMs, I know of a pre-teen trans girl, totally supported by her parents, who’s into tools and other traditional “guy stuff”. If she and her parents approve, it would be nice if you can show her how far she can go.

Do you have any preference for what or who you’d like to come back as? NOTE: I’m not making fun of you. I just want to join you in being creative with this.

We have a stake in the battle against cruelty, against the indifference of the majority party.
If we lose our resolve, lose sight of the goal, give up, everyone loses. We need to prop each other up, keep the flame burning, unite.
Thank you, Nichole.

Is that the new slogan of the Republican Party? “People Die”.
It should be, especially in upcoming elections. If they still hold them. If not, it could be our battle cry.

I have never done that. I spend too much time creating original content to echo somebody else’s.

I can’t be cavalier about the 4th unfortunately. There are amateur pyrotechnicians in the neighborhood whose fireworks land on my roof, and I have to call the Fire Department if necessary. It makes it hard to enjoy the show, and I never thought it was patriotic. Meh.

Thank god. I personally support trans women who are disabled from long Covid and afraid of what could happen to them as the fascist regime closes in. I would do the same for you if it came to that. When you have a chance, take a look at my Substack. I’m the real thing.

I opened a DM (you’ll see why I didn’t want to send it as a comment). Please read it. My trans ally creds are well known here and Substack.

I hope you don’t mind me saying that you are awesome.

Oh, sweet Diane. I haven’t heard from you since you wrote about your “touch of Covid” in your Patreon account. I have a dear trans friend whose “touch of Covid” happened before 3-1/2 years of long Covid, which affects her today. How are you doing, right now?

I’ll amend that — good INTELLIGENT flirters are young forever. Also the target of countless “suitors”.
Maybe I’ll flirt with you, when you grow up, that is. :-)

Thank you, Courtney. Those of us who are writers (my publishing activity is on Substack) are duty bound to include our messages in our work, even if it’s “be kind and empathetic” — and craft characters who embody that.

Since the only friends I have are either right here or unabashed liberals in real life, they vote, and how. I don’t know what I’d do if any of them goes MAGA. But I don’t imagine they will.

A bit extreme, but you have a right to be angry, as I do. Not that I have any immunity to the revenge of the regime, but I’m concentrating on my support of trans people (YES, ALL OF YOU ARE PEOPLE, AND ENTITLED TO LOVE, RECOGNITION, RESPECT, AND SAFETY) and even supporting individuals personally.

1/ This is an incredible resource. Most of the trans fiction books on Amazon aren’t of the best quality. Either they are “excessively erotic” (i.e. skimpy plot, 1D characters) or very short form. I want to represent trans characters in my books, accurately and lovingly.

I haven’t seen any since I was a kid in New Jersey, but until now I didn’t realize it. I miss them.

How’s your foot doing?
Sling is off for at least a week now. Still having pain if I do something I shouldn’t. I haven’t done much writing (it’s mostly on Substack).
But I have done a lot of falling. I was checked out — brain is OK. But was afraid to go to a No Kings or Pride rally. Bummer.

When I couldn’t mow my lawn (as required by HOA) on the hottest day of the year, I was told to “hire someone”.
I refused to subject another human being to do something dangerous that I wouldn’t do.
Non-human animals wouldn’t do it either. They are more ethical than we are.
