Artists need communities just as badly as communities need artists. Everyone benefits when people support each other.

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

I've been noticing that even queer folks are still struggling to understand the difference between these distinct labels. Let me tap the sign again: It is imperative that we understand that using "Top" to always mean "Dom"; and "Bottom" to always mean "Sub" is heteronormative and demeaning. : /

we have moved past the need for "play other games" and have entered "please interact with real people in tangible, heartfelt, and complicated ways so that you can see the beauty and complexity of the people you are blessed to share this planet with" territory

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

idk. I think “sappy” and “cheesy” romance things deserve to be celebrated a little bit more. lord knows I’ve been shamed to death for enjoying them.

At risk of repeating myself or beating the point to death lol, this line is most of the reason I fell in love with the DRK story. Part of it is tattooed on my body. I wish I had a real answer for why. It just landed so well at the exact right time for me, I never stopped thinking about it.

Chai and Medea would have the most uneasy feeling around each other. Like deja vu but never ending. They stand as mirrors to one another, even if their cores are the same

In case it helps someone: The phrase “We don’t do / say that here” is immensely useful in managing people who feel emboldened to try to push boundaries and test behaviour norms in your spaces. It’s a bland statement of fact, doesn’t contain an accusation, and can be used by anyone including peers.

you can make the most valid point in the world, that I fully agree with, write a masterpiece of critical thinking that could change my entire perspective of everything... If you end your argumentative message with "hope this helps!!!" I am instantly rooting for your demise.

this'll be my last post abt this but don't think i don't notice a lot of you (white) ppl making "just block and move on" posts and watering actual honest to god racism down to discourse. calling out racism is not discourse and you bitches need to get that through your skulls.

I’ve had a difficult time integrating my thinking as a psychoanalyst in formation with my political work and political thinking. But one strong conclusion I’ve come to through clinical work is we need collective spaces to grieve, acknowledge loss, and sit with and express fear. 1/3
