👋I've only been around on socials in a super low-key way for what feels like an age while I was studying (and recovering from studying!) but I'm done now, my brain feels like it has energy to spare for the first time in 2 years and I'M SO EXCITED to get back to writing!!

Just learned that Category Is Books, a lovely queer bookshop in Glasgow, has been targeted by transphobic violence, & is fundraising to cover the costs of a smashed window & roller shutters. I hate that they have to do this & would love to see them meet their goal.

The pipeline between all things Harry Potter and hurting trans lives is just that--one pipe. Straight line. Direct funding. Not a complicated diagram. When you don't watch the Harry Potter preview, that helps. Not getting the views helps.

One reason AI slop flyers look so terrible is that there is no hierarchy of messaging, and the same is true with AI slop prose. ChatGPT and Claude are always making something random into a big fucking deal, because they are not human and don’t know what’s a big deal and what isn’t.

I’m highlighting one of my back catalog books each month.
For August, I’m highlighting The Meet Cute Café, which is a series of connected shorts that takes place in a café.
It's a good way to see if you like my writing if you haven't read 1 of my books.
E-book is $2.99!

This week I had an ER visit for my eye, a late night opthamologist appointment, and an eye surgery. Everything is fine now! 😍 This was all out of network (because emergency) so if you were thinking of getting my Master Lists book, now is a great time 🥰

Never have I scrolled to an 'unsubscribe' button as I just did with one from Amanda Palmer, is this piece of shit really delusional enough to think people still want to hear from her?!

Men really can just do anything they want to anyone and still have all the success. Really disappointing to see someone win an award when they shouldn't even still have a career.

I coined a word, TEMPATHY, for when someone brings up a good cause they don't care about in the slightest in order to argue against something else. Like saying "Foreign aid? What about veterans?" while voting for those who slash benefits for veterans.
