In the kingdom of sleep, the baby sun is wrapped in the clouds of future purpose. The men and women, the big and little animals, and children dream in the black soils, while the aged draw fantastic geoglyphs. No one is troubled by want or #grief. Most tarry there half a lifetime. #vss365

Wore a wig to a costume party. It was interesting how differently people treated me. Everyone said I should always wear it because it made me look younger. Like, they don’t care if it’s fake so long as you give them the fantasy.

If you're boycotting AMZ, but still want to buy/read books: please, have a look at whether the relevant big publisher/small press/indie author sells direct This month and last is hitting everyone's book sales hard, and all of us - trad, small press & indie alike - still need to pay our bills :)

When you call a man ‘typical’ he takes that as doing no better or worse than the next guy. Women find it offensive because we take it as an implication of being easily replaced. So Ladies, don’t call a man typical if you don’t like his behavior. He’ll think he’s doing just fine.

People who pride themselves on ‘never being rejected’ suffer rejection of the self. Accept that your true self cannot and willnot be palatable to everyone (I want ‘willnot’ to be a word)

It started as Anne of Green Gables fanfic after meeting my biracial cousins. In my 15-year-old mind, I thought how wonderful it would be for them to live in Avonlea. But a tough question loomed: How would my incredibly cute biracial cousins REALLY be treated? That’s when I met Cress…

In toxic relationships, you're forced to choose between honesty and loyalty. You bite your tongue to protect their ego. In healthy relationships, honesty is an expression of loyalty. You speak your mind to help them grow. When you have trust and respect, candor shows care.
