The intergalactic federation of planets landing on earth to congratulate us on the creation of a small sun in a tokamak reactor. But the process mystifies them. To what end?
Oh, says the plant supervisor. To make steam.
"You created a sun..."
"To make steam, yeh. To push the turbines."

Quality literature that goes down smooth! 🖤😎
Haven't been able to focus on reading in print (vs audio) in months but I flew through like 40% of MOONFLOW by @bitterkarella.bsky.social last night.
Can't wait to get back to it tonight! The Lord of the Forest awaits.

I mean, this was tongue-in-cheek, but also:
hey y’all, are you okay? I’m so serious right now. As someone who graduated with an English degree in 2008 I’m not perturbed by the practical responses, but I am concerned at the speed and vigor of them.

Someone talk me out of going back to school and getting a masters in library science, quick! It would be a not-insignificant pay cut in exchange for student loan debt, but maybe a career that’s better for my soul??
Quick, quick, tell me why this is a bad idea!

My lead character in the current manuscript is a black asexual trans woman, who after events in the previous book is coming to terms with a few things in her own past and present as well as recovering from her earlier injuries currently slowing her down.

Sometimes they can work against us.

The TLDR:
The reason the systems of power have so many abusive men at the top is because the systems of power are created to serve abusive men. It’s all built for this purpose. It is all working as intended when they get away with hurting people.

One of my personal theories on viewing the world and its structures involves this idea of lenses. I’m sure there’s a name for this someone else came up with a long time ago, and it’s a very English major kind of thing, the idea that a text can be viewed from a multitude of perspectives.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors.
Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts.
Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
