Alberta is trying to ban certain ‘inappropriate’ books from school libraries. (Big shocker — it’s queer books with sexual content) More info here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I just got a random message through my website’s contact form from someone who liked a story and now an entirely mediocre day is a day I’m going to be thinking about for months 😭😭😭 If you’ve ever thought about sending a writer a note about a story… you absolutely should do that. Please do that.

Know all those sci fi films or whatever where there’s a computer virus that could destroy the world or the internet or something? How do we make those real and feed them to AIs It’s time and past for them to eat their own tails please.

It’s nearing the end of #mermay and what better way to celebrate than to take in some space mermaid sights? twice spent comet is a trans fairy tale, a found family novella set on an asteroid turned prison camp. It helped me find my wonder with words again. Maybe it could do the same for y’all.

If folks look into their own queer history, they will find themselves again and again, and also understand our complicated, beautiful and varied past. We cannot let each other’s journeys to find words that fit right divide us. We should celebrate it all, even the bits that might confuse us.

I come into your discord server. Nice channels, I say, as I start to arrange them by Dewey decimal system.

Thinking about AI bullshit again and— I had to relearn how to write after a bad concussion. Sentence structure, how to tell a story. All from scratch. I would rather do that again than use AI for writing. So if anyone tries to say oh but it makes writing more ‘accessible’? Shut the fuck up.

Such a good snapshot of how a lot of folks who don’t do an art just don’t understand it. IDEAS? That’s not ever been the issue. Even when I was relearning how to write after my brain injury… ideas were my will o whisp, my light in the dark, my hope that I chased until sentences made sense again.

‘Like it or not, genAI is the future—‘ Nah, I got to talk to fifty queer youth about writing authentic stories, and encouraging them to be bold and afraid and strange. The conversations we had left me feeling more inspired than I have in ages. They’re the future.

Anyone who has a website is so strong and brave (I am once again reminded that nowhere online is there a complete list of my writing credits)

At the #vanrisefc game and there’s a soccer dad in front of us with a bunch of young lady soccer players and was talking with one of the moms and casually corrected her on Quinn’s pronouns. We then had an awesome chat about their play. Warmed my nonbinary heart. 🏳️‍⚧️

I’m at a little one day con so I can’t go to an indie bookstore today but!!! Happy indie bookstore day! Go support a local shop, find one you haven’t been to before or hang out at a favourite one. Support third spaces and folks who are actively fighting to promote diverse authors.

It’s so funny because customers at my job sometimes ask if I ever wanted to be a teacher… so validating for a high school dropout like me, to be told by teachers that I’d be a good one. Not gonna become one, but! Incredibly validating.

For some reason my brain decided that this is the content I would fixate on for a week. uquiz.com/quiz/JzPKMr/... One day I’m going to write so many personal essays about this time I’m having right now. Until then… I made a fun quiz!

My queer space mermaids made it to Antartica, which is pretty dang cool. twice-spent comet is so important to me, and seeing it get to see the world makes my heart bloom.

Damn, imagine if butches were allowed to have loud emotions without having to worry about how that might frighten those around them. Would that be wild or what.

This is what I wanna see from celebrities who have a platform. Not ‘I support you’, that’s not enough anymore. Call out the gate that targets us. Call it like it is. Vile, small, pathetic. 🙌
