surely there's a certain irony in being the author of ''Abolish Universal Suffrage'', where you argue for the need to make voting rights conditional on passing a test, and at the same time the author of ''It's hard to be Left-Wing nowadays''

of c we should ask why this concern arises only in relation to a genre traditionally aimed at a female audience given that the same narratives appear in other genres as well. hard not to see a desire to "protect" women since other equally problematic power dynamics rarely attract the same scrutiny
The difficulty for both admirers and detractors of the dark-fantasy genre lies in their inability to distinguish between a narrative shaped by patriarchal tropes and the appeal (erotic or otherwise) that such portrayals may hold for readers

just sent 1/3 of my thesis chapter to my supervisor and I think I’ll lie down and cry until he replies. Maybe I'll eat cheese.

a few reflections after this election round: the progressive project only works if it's genuinely progressive. Bringing centrist parties into the fold for the sake of an anti-fascist front may sound good in theory but it tends to dilute the ideological foundations of the platform.

It’s really depressing seeing people unable to accept that people/parties they consider liberal are some of the worst for being prudes and socially conservative at the moment.
(This isn’t me letting conservatives off the hook btw because fuck them sticking their nose in too. But I won’t deflect!)

like, I believe it is necessary to confront (benefit from) the sense of vertigo one experiences when facing the unknown; it *is* certainly frustrating, but preferable to the apathetic acceptance of what is (is believed to be) known.
okay my mood swings between "fuck I know nothing 😭" and "fuck yeah I know nothing 🎉" every second but right now I really need to stress the "fuck I know nothing 😭" part.

white cis men are the funniest species alive because they'll unashamedly say things like "I believe we’ve left sexism behind us. Also I only read serious books but I’m now interested in reading something written by females"

a bit put off by family members who go "you’re not grieving/struggling the right way" and then decide you must be unfeeling just because you’re not publicly falling apart in a puddle of tears. Pretty hypocritical too, since they'll tell you to "cope" the moment you actually do show you’re struggling

“Dancing,” the full piece. Three generations of elven women dancing away their cares, unburdened by dark lords and their wars in a brief moment of peace as they spin.
The last of the pieces I did for our fundraiser. Like the others, it’ll be in my ko-fi shop when it opens, with a percentage going+
