Today I found out I’m going to be joining the ranks of HOW many amazing authors (??!) as part of @starsandsabers.bsky.social’s upcoming anthology OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM (out October 2025).
My appointments with gynecologists have seen these doctors writing out prescriptions for medications costing hundreds of $$ while, in the next breath, they disclose,
"We don't know if this will be the thing that helps you, we don't know enough."
It's 2026.
Not good enough.

It's that time of year again!
Looking back, I actually finished drafts of more than one piece. I have at least two story ideas I'm happy to go into the new year developing.
I didn't necessarily work on what I expected to do this year, but fun was had. At the end of the day, isn't that the point?

“Victoria will become the first Australian state to ban unnecessary surgeries on intersex children, with legislation to be introduced to parliament to ensure procedures are deferred until patients are old enough to consent to them.”
This is very encouraging news. We need to protect bodily autonomy.

Thought of the Day: millenials grew up during the height of queer-coded media, which is why nothing hits like it used to.
Everything is either painfully heteronormative or canonically queer in a way that, instead of giving you a little gift for overthinking it, hits you with "it's not that deep"

The first study, a preliminary participatory study, on the effects of menopause on people with autism was published in 2020. This is what the authors had say of the situation:

Ahhh this was such a good presentation that had me thinking of the Gothic, and in particular ghosts, in a completely different way!
