Me: writes space horror
Also me: gets scared reading my own writing ๐Ÿ’€

Chapter 2 of Dormant Planet gave me the creeps and I literally wrote the thing. Latest chapter up on my Substack! It's free, it's bloody, and it ends on a cliffhanger because I'm evil like that ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Frayla and Nesh thought they were heading to paradise. New planet, new life, new beginning.

Instead, they're hiding in a closet listening to screams echo through their ship.

This Week in Trans Anxiety: Fascist Family Members How do you survive when your family chooses fascism over you?

I am genuinely distressed by the fact that my own family would rather erase me over supporting and defending me.

The Same Chains Surviving child abuse and US government oppression

My latest blog dives into what it's like to grow up in a right-wing home. And let me tell you, it's a helluva lot like dealing with the US government right now as an American.
