Mediocre photos of very fine creatures. From Chicago; in Wisconsin. She/her. Reader. Science fiction fan. For human rights, books, art, health care for all, etc. Trans rights are human rights. Voting is a right. Against fascism.

I'm sometimes asked why I focus on gender-affirming care for trans youth. It's because the regime chose to start there, and if they succeed, it won't end there.
New post on why this is the front line and what you can do before tomorrow's 5PM ET deadline.

Volume 2 features genius engineer Miki, a smiling white woman, and Volume 3 features pilot and soldier Faigin, a stern black woman with gold inlays at her throat, part of her augmentations.
Awesome cover by Augusta Scarlett features a black woman in winter gear holding a futuristic rifle, pointed at the ground; she's looking down at a snowy landscape featuring mountains, distant spaceships, and an orbital elevator. The whole thing is in shades of blue, with purple in the title.

Title: A Valentineโs Day experiment In an effort to test the efficacy of cupids arrows of desire. A placebo group is shot with regular arrows. Their injuries range from moderate to sever. Unexpectedly, romances struck up in hospital and lawyersโ waiting rooms create a "romance ratio" similar to that of magic arrows. However, once the cost of compensation claims is factored in, it is decided to discontinue.
