Don't ever listen to people who tell you to be satisfied with the status quo, who act like your voice doesn't matter.
Progress has been made due to folks making their voices heard. If nothing you did mattered, we wouldn't have the hard-won rights many folks have today.
Don't stop.
Oh HELL yes! And still early enough to get an Early Bird??? Yes, yes, Y-E-S

While I understand that many view it as a time-saving tool, I am ethically and morally opposed to the utilization of generative AI and my own writing/work/feedback/input being fed into it, even for a good cause. If this possibility was mentioned earlier, I apologize for missing it, as I would not have consented to having work that I have done, even the relatively labor-light responses I gave regarding social media framework. Thanks so much for your time; I appreciate it.
Got an email from a planning committee that I am on about how they took feedback we gave and fed it into ChatGPT to create an outline.
I was decidedly not pleased and made it a point to send this back. It's as respectful as I can make it, but also as firm: Do not use my labor for slop.

The fourth Trans Rights Readathon is coming up this month! From March 17-31, folks around the world are reading trans books to (and this is important) raise money for trans rights activism
When you're making your reading list, don't forget lesser known indie authors who could use the boost!
Honestly, I was just throwing out emojis ๐
Like my current WIP doesn't have a zombie, but how else do I signal a character resurrection?
So many things...
Current WIP: Where We Converge 2
Future WIPs:
- Trans & Achillean Amnesia Romantasy WIP
- Poly & Pan Angel Redeeming Demons WIP
- Sapphic Two-timing Ex WIP
- Sapphic Haunted County Fair WIP
- Romantasy Heist WIP
- Achillean Dark Superheroes
- Sapphic & Trans Dark Superheroes 2
There's still value in calling/emailing/writing your reps.
1. There will be a record of their garbage ability to listen to their constituents.
2. (And if you exist out of spite, you'll like this one) You get to jam up their offices all to hell. Inundate them with your voices. MAKE THEM FEEL IT.
I had to keep myself from laughing too loudly when I thought of it, as I'm at work ๐คฃ

A pencil drawing of a blonde in a white dress holding a knife. The ends of her hair, sleeves and dress are red with blood
A bride in a white dress stands looking out a stone arch at a red moon while holding a bloodied knife. Her hands and hair are red with blood. The bottom of dress descends into a puddle of blood dripping off the steps.

Received an email from my institution abt measles being found in the state & vaccinations. Somehow, my brain went from that to the fact that I frequently say "I've never met a vaccine I don't immediately want," to a pick up line of, "Are you a vaccine? Cause I want you inside me."

btw it didnโt do anything to my overall shop rating because I have enough reviews to negate it but it DID ding this item pretty badly so if you too are an Essek enjoyer maybe take a look??

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Hey, NY. It's primary season.
If you see folks with clipboards asking if you are a registered democrat, please stop and help them.
It takes appx. 1 minute to sign a ballot petition.
People want better candidates. We need 1000s of signatures to get on the ballot.
Sick of the collaborators? Sign.

Do I wish I wasn't going into another month crowdfunding? Yes. Nothing makes me feel worse than asking for help, and yes, my therapist DOES hate me.
But I have to do more for my medical care if I want to stick around to continue hating asking for help, so here I am!
Every donation and share helps.
