I deeply enjoyed talking horror, reclaiming stories, and aspec power with my friend @nocturnalxlight.bsky.social. This was an absolute delight, and Ell delivers so many gems here. Gotta read it.

This is so important. This is a prime example of why having stasis/agreed-upon definitions/shared intelligibility matters in our collective resistance to toxic masculinity culture.
I’m tired of “asexual” being conflated with “incel” & I’m tired of asexuality being treated as an optional subject.

Aspec language being used by allo people in ways that erase their aspec meanings point to the necessity for expanding aspec literacy for allo people.
Allo people need aspec literacy, too.
There's value in extending our education efforts to catch allos up to speed on our lives and experiences.

I keep hearing about other queer Frankenstein retellings and I don’t know whether to think of this as competition or community 😂 probably the latter.

Rewatched The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe last night with roomie, & thinking about how Edmund immediately took the side of the oppressor that made helping humans (immigrants to Narnia) illegal. He was willing to believe Mr. Tumnus was “a criminal” when the crime was befriending his own sister.

Thinking of making a horror movie about a man who keeps discovering 12-inch rulers in his home. It's a found footage film.

Once again the internet provides us with an immortal phrase that nobody will ever guess the context of.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

I talk to myself, sometimes even recite incredibly specific monologues/dialogues from other media/movies/shows that I just have memorized forever. I also sympathize with Frankenstein.
Writers: what’s your one unhinged quality that makes others wonder if you’re okay?

Fellow author friends check the site in the QT. A lot of you are on there and it looks like you’ve probably lost out on thousands in sales bc illegal downloads :(
I'd never heard of this site until tonight. Both my books are on there. Did you know my publisher offers one of three lowest royalty rates in the entire industry? And that I didn't get an advance? Literally all I make is from royalties. Royalties I don't earn when you pirate my book.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Based on my experience on both sides (writer and editorial) when they say they want to hear from you again, even on a form rejection, they mean it.
When a journal says please send again, do keep trying. I have now gotten eight acceptances this way.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
