Everyone's doing intro posts and uh, hi, I'm Heather. You've never heard of me, I've never done anything of note, I mostly just repost other people's stuff because I don't have much to say. Nice to meet you!

Conan took a long pull of coffee from his tankard, his heavy brows furrowed in thought.

"Have you not tried sacrificing a goat to this Zuul?" he finally suggested helpfully. "Mayhaps a comely virgin?"

"For the last time, it's ZOOM!" yelled the IT manager. "And that won't help!"

I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there.

They have never apologized or acknowledged what they did.

I see the book pirating discourse is going around again, and I’m just so tired, y’all.

If you want books to continue to exist, do not steal books. Period. The end.

“But but but…”

No.

There are so many free options out there: fanfiction, libraries, etc. You don’t need to steal books to read.

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.

It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.
Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear

"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected.

In the last 3 days, the Supreme Court ruled trans people have (again!) lost access to valid passports, a federal district court legalized bullying against (only!) trans kids, and Cornell University joined the growing number of colleges agreeing to discriminate/ban trans people. When is it enough??
