not a movie but I WANT a PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE tv series please!
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

this kind of "throw every random social justice accusation at the wall and see what sticks" approach actually just discredits social justice. come on. let's do better

Thank you to everyone who has bought Skin Thief or Countess, or requested either at the library or written a review about them. You are keeping me writing. Literally. As a new long form writer every single sale matters. I want to write more books for you! I'm writing another right now! 🖤🙏

This poor child, this poor mom. This is just evil.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

The reality for speculative fiction zines and publishers is pretty damn terrible right now. I know many of us are struggling to keep it together, and they are too.

Read this, mourn what we lost, and, as much as you can, support the zines and publishers you love.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

NEW ESSAY for Trans Awareness Week! hopefully it will make ppl aware about how bad actors manipulate transgender statistics & that "social contagion/ROGD" are disproven:
on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-...
& Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/lies-damne...
Lies, Damned Lies, and Transgender Statistics
plus over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis
