Truthfully I can’t bring myself to be all that upset about internet series that are widely considered “bad” like RWBY and Hazbin Hotel because I’d rather have a handful of misguided passion projects made by independent writers and creators than an ocean of cookie cutter Hollywood Slop

I just want to stare at the Pacific and think about the places I want to see that are oceans away.
I just want to let my guilt, and shame, and fear wash away. I just want the strength to not let the little things get me down anymore. To forgive myself for not being perfect.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

I’m going back to my home state for the first time since January 2024. The last time I was there I was still working at a job where I was disliked, unwanted, and seen as a problem. I’ve come out the other side but I feel like an entirely different person since I last went back.

13 of our titles have been shadowbanned despite containing no nsfw content and not being tagged as such.
They ARE tagged LGBT content.
Don't pretend this is only about nsfw works. Why are you censoring queer works?

This is why I’ve always been unnerved by the recent turn in popular feminist rhetoric to be more SWERF and sex-negative. It’s easier to push people to accept right-wing ideas if you push progressive culture to find depiction of sexuality “cringe”.

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic
they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

Mr. Terrific is one of the breakout characters of the new Supes movie. Deservedly so. Notice anything about him? No origin, no real name, no exposition about who he is or why he does what he does. Well told stories don't need to explain their characters. They show them to us.

Being in my 30s is like swinging back around to my teens again in terms of hobbies. Writing and reading fanfics, making OCs, roleplaying, etc.

What’s happening is eugenics.
Cutting Medicaid. Telling you COVID is mild. Blocking climate research. Rolling back trans rights. Police militarization and brutality. All of it.
Fascism is built on eugenics. So is racism, classism, transphobia, etc.
Any resistance must center disability justice.

My favorite of my OCs right now is a warrior. I created her about 8 or so years ago, but earlier this year she charged back into my life to help me deal with the trauma of last year.
And she has given me so much strength. I want to write stories about her or something. Idk. OCs are therapeutic.

In my latest Goodreads blog, a list of inspiring books on women pioneers of classical music. It was hard to narrow it down! If you haven't read Susan Tomes's latest book, "Women and the Piano," you should read it right away. You won't be able to put it down!
