Woah, I've just published a short story to my blog! You can read it at www.skylerneversleeps.com/p/ouroboros
Text reading the following over a background of a snow-covered street: It wasn’t the first time Arsh woke up in the middle of the night, sweat through his sheets, to the sense that someone was standing in the corner, watching him. It was, however, the first time he was right. The sight of the stranger in the yellow lamplight was like an ice bath, paralysis climbing down his spine like a stepladder. She was leaning on the wall beneath his Blade Runner poster, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the color. She looked about forty, maybe fifty if the extra decade had been kind to her. Her black hair was falling on the shoulders of a blacker denim jacket, in all ways ordinary except that, instead of buttons or a zipper, each of the edges was lined with a metallic strip of a texture Arsh had never seen, like the spine of a robotic fish. There was a square-shaped device with a pulsing blue ring clipped to her belt like a pager. She was so casually still, a predator at ease, disassembling him with her gaze. The only sounds were the low groan of the expanding radiator and his mother’s voice in his head. If someone breaks into the house, just let them take what they want. Your life is the most important thing. “What do you want?” he croaked. It felt like shouting. “Huh.” The woman tilted her head, as though rotating one of his components in her mind. When she spoke, there was a kind of buzz at the bottom of her voice. “You sound different from how I remember.”

I really need to stop getting Union Dixie stuck in my head because I start whistling it and one of these days someone's going to think I'm doing the Confederate version

It's funny liking two baseball teams in different leagues because once a year they play each other and it's like a cartoon network crossover episode for no one except me

TIL there is unreleased Mesopotamian yuri
Wikipedia article snippet that says: However, there are at least two pieces of textual evidence for Mesopotamian lesbianism.One is a divinatory text which mentions female same-sex activity, while another, more explicit text remains unpublished.

If I read one more lesbian romance novel where one of the characters only calls one of the other characters by their last name I'm going to lose it

Could we stop having a moral panic about puberty blockers and start having a moral panic about something actually bad like the proliferation of mobile sports gambling? I feel like this might be achievable

First they came for the transgenders, and I said nothing, because I was not transgender...

Next they came for the bisexuals, and I said nothing, because I only liked pussy...

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets.

The worst part of going through a breakup is eventually you have to decide when "I'm going through a breakup" stops being a good excuse to lay in bed eating chips all day

Feels weird to actually be proud of NYC for once. Like, what? We did something unambiguously good? There's actually hope things can get better? Terrifying.
