I can't stress enough how important RELATIONSHIPS are. They are the new currency of truth. Real, physical, eye-to-eye relationships provide the context to scrutinize information. (Facebook and heresay doesn't count.) Share your experiences sincerely. Use the Internet only to bank and download shit.

I'm livid. Finding a lovely new album on Youtube, listening a few tracks. Digging around to find out more about the band, then realizing it was made by AI. I'm so tempted to listen to the whole thing, but I won't.

Always feed your dogs first, for there are more of then than of you. And they have teeth.

Back! I did a trip to the west coast of Canada and honestly, it is the bob Ross paintings I would like to grow old up in, but it’s rather inaccessible sadly.

Anyway, it’s been a weird time when it comes to art. Perhaps I’ve needed a break for a bit, been feeling burnt out perhaps.

Oh yeah, book promo.

"A Rotten Girl" is my literary satire that features the worst transfem getting involved in the worst industry, publishing. Serious, funny, angry, cringe-tastic; I am very proud of it.

jemmatopaz.carrd.co/#rotten

The cover of "A Rotten Girl"; a woman's face, with her eyes hidden by a rough band of white.

Text reads:
Pearl is a trans woman writer on the cusp of literary greatness... or so she thought until her agent informs her that her first book has sunken like a stone for its failure to "connect with normal people". Normal people. Heterosexual people. Cisgender people.

Jaded from the knowledge that this industry rarely lets in people like her, Pearl comes up with a plan: write a commercial male/male romance. Except the market's all about authenticity these days, isn't it? The plan gets complicated, drawing her into a web of escalating deceptions where she poses as a cisgender gay man and comes ever closer to destroying all her relationships, and her own life.

A Rotten Girl is a satirical drama that explores gender, public personas, the commodification of queerness—and the reality of what it is like to be a trans woman in a hostile world.

“This entire meditation on the pseudofeminism underpinning this market is so focused and cutting, you can't help but marvel at it.” - Talia Bhatt

What's not to love about #furry? Writing a scene where a Basset hound detective confides in a fellow officer -- a meerkat. After pouring out his heart, the meerkat assures him that he is welcome to speak to him any time.

"I am all ears."

I nearly burst out laughing as I imagined it. #amwriting

Sitting at 31000 words on my WIP! This is big progress, considering how much I end up cutting out in the process. #wip #amwriting

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.
