Just a they/them causing mayhem

Corridors of Contagion

Given news of measles in ICE detention, etc., it's more important than ever to read CORRIDORS OF CONTAGION and see what Covid in our "normal" prisons revealed about incarceration, disease, and how systems make people vulnerable to premature death: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2447-c...

i get they are separate classes buuuut my 1 year old is sleep regressing and my exhausted brain read this for a second as all the elements of a single class. which sounds like an Experience.

HA thank you! It's a vibe

6'6" autistic virologist falls in love with a kind of Steven Universe style sentient projection of the plague she's trying to stop.

Tale as old as time, amirite?

WE EXPEXTED MORE

#questpit #A #Q #D #S #SF

Well it's a map of pennsylvania's power lines in the back, and then in front is four rad chicks and their rad giant praying mantis, u know.

When a queer crew of friends is given the power to choose the fate of a world that's only ever hurt them, all must weigh the price against the product - an uncertain future with all the lessons of history, or guaranteed survival without any of the context?

- WE EXPECTED MORE -

Rite Aid Paperback Success Daily writing prompt What's your dream job? View all responses Every year, this question pops up. Every time I start a draft. This year, I'm determined to finish it. Short answer: writing, but making money doing it. Which I guess is where the "job" part comes in. Or like, scratch that, I am technically making money doing it right now.

I was decidedly unlucky, though I am so far Still Alive, and in terms of fun: wrote 2249 words during the forty seven minutes both sick kids were either asleep or preoccupied, so. Fuck yeah?

One of the things that radicalized me to abolition was learning that basic human care, community, and solidarity are seen as threats and risks in prisons. That’s WHY they can’t be reformed: the things that would help people are antithetical to the institution itself. No more prisons.

I Have Given Up More Than Once

I write speculative fiction. No, it's more kind of a dystopian thing than that. No, no. Post-dystopian. But it's not like The Walking Dead, it's more... optimistic? Optimistic Post-Dystopian. With queer characters! Can't forget about them. Us. Queer characters.…

Its like WE EXPECTED MORE in pink neon. Cool lady characters all on one side, a map of pa's telephone poles and an alien doing heart hands on the other.

Beautiful nonbinaries are notoriously terrible at cooking, though. Everyone remember to cook for your beautiful nonbinaries. They cannot be trusted.

I Who Have never Known (hu)Men

These motherfuckers who shill AI keep saying 'the genie is out of the bottle'.

You realise that stories are full of ways to trick the fucking genie back into the bottle, right?

You keep using that metaphor but I do not think it means what you think it means.

Places Are A Myth Much as I wish I could blame a careful arrangement of myself in timespace for all my artistic successes and failures, I've made the unfortunate discovery in recent years that all of that is total bullshit, and that I am capable of writing wherever and whenever, despite all circumstances. Which is a lot of pressure, lemme just say. That being said, I did make this space.

Bright Yellow Ford Escape

When my mom died, my sister and I inherited a nearly-paid-off house we couldn't afford in a neighborhood we couldn't live in. It was also the house she had just died in, the house she had been sick in, and we were both teenagers. We sold it. Immediately, we said we wanted…
