A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

I just submitted my dark fantasy ensemble cast manuscript! Definitely looking forward to hearing what you thought! I primarily write stories about queer people of color in high stakes fantasy environments, and my current work touches a bunch on colonialism, fascism, and propaganda.

Needing to set this down and walk away angrily (fond) because I'm on book three and I think I know what's going on
