I've been picking at this book revision (not IGNORE, IGNORE is finished dev edits already, this is a different project) and it is feeling like the trickiest, most elusive revision I've ever done. I think I have a plan and then I come back to it and can't remember why that was the plan.

Deadline coming up soon! Call for Work: Autistic Protest Poetry This call for work seeks poetry by autistic writers that is socially-engaged, politically-charged, and geared toward raising our voices together against oppression and erasure. Deadline: July 1st More details at link 💜

For IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS, this is extremely Spoilers - but for THE OUTSIDE, hmm. Large scale heresy, mainly. Which the AI Gods punish viciously. :D

....I might maybe be working a thing where the answer is "yes," but sssssshh

Honestly, I think the thing I like best is when there's interiority that's different from a straight person's interiority, or from what a straight person expects our interiority would be.

In my hometown of Kingston, Ontario it's these guys: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tra...

A documentary about bees. They try hard but I am pretty sure they are not up to the task, unless my kidnappers have a bad allergy...

I know the world is on fire but I also got PROMOTED AT MY DAYJOB and I am going to jump around my house and squeal incoherently for a while!!

I just realized that every disabled writer/artist is a spoonie bard 🙄

I've encountered more than one fan of the OUTSIDE books who ships Yasira with Ev, and this would never happen in canon for a variety of reasons, but it does amuse me.

This morning I went to the farmer's market in a rainbow hat and tried cookies that were made from cricket flour by a pair of queer cricket farmers and then I went to a Pride run/walk and talked to a guy about maybe starting a queer writers' group. I burned out hard after but it was a good morning.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I love all the Vaurians from THE OUTSIDE, who are shapeshifters, and who vary in their use of pronouns, but many tend to adopt different pronouns depending on the body they're in at the time and to enjoy having different perceived genders at different times.
