Hey everyone! Sorry for delays. We were right in the middle of the tornado damage here in St. Louis. We are fine, and our neighborhood managed to dodge the serious damage. I'm currently looking into ways for people to help remotely. If anybody in the StL area has suggestions please send them in.

Even when there is no thematic symbolism, if a human writer describes something, that is a deliberate choice to convey SOMETHING

Transphobes are fucking pathetic. If you want to read a book about a trans girl learning how to be a witch that DOESN'T include slavery apologia, or fund discrimination, our very own @margaret.bsky.social wrote a good one. www.feministpress.org/books-a-m/th...
